The new extended warranty regulation for the 2012 Focus transmission is five years. According to the transmission fluid replacement cycle, transmission fluid should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Manual transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. If you notice increased fuel consumption, slow acceleration, or delayed gear shifting while driving, it is recommended to perform maintenance. Transmission fluid often contains metal particles and debris, which significantly reduce the lubrication performance of the transmission, leading to severe wear. Generally, if a vehicle exceeds 100,000 kilometers without maintenance, this situation may occur, so replacement is advised. Proper usage precautions for the transmission include: when starting the engine, place the gear lever in the P or N position, while pressing the brake pedal and pulling the parking brake lever. When starting the car, move the gear lever to the correct position before pressing the accelerator pedal, and avoid excessive force. During high-speed driving, do not use the N position for coasting. This is because at high speeds, the transmission output shaft rotates very fast, while the engine runs at idle speed, causing insufficient oil supply from the ATF pump and worsening lubrication conditions, which can easily damage the transmission. When overtaking, quickly press the accelerator pedal to utilize forced downshifting and improve the car's acceleration capability.

Over the past few years while repairing cars, I've encountered many 2012 Focus owners inquiring about the new extended warranty regulations for transmissions. Ford recently updated its policy, offering an extended warranty of 10 years or 150,000 kilometers specifically for the PowerShift dual-clutch transmission, mainly covering issues like jerking, delayed shifting, and abnormal noises. If you own one of these vehicles, don't panic—first, check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on Ford's official website or app to confirm if your car is covered. If it's still under warranty, take your maintenance records to an authorized service center for free repairs. From experience, regularly changing the transmission fluid can help prevent issues—don't wait until the problem becomes severe, as it poses significant safety risks. This policy is quite friendly to older car owners, saving both money and hassle, so I'm sharing it with fellow car owners.

What to Do When There Are Fine Cracks on the Side of Car Tires?

Cracks are minor and can be used normally. If there are many deep cracks, then it is necessary to replace the new tires. The normal lifespan of tires is generally three years. For those who frequently drive, it is recommended to replace the tires every two years. Harder tires and more wear-resistant tires are more prone to cracking. Common abnormal wear includes the following: 1. Early wear in the central part of the tire: The main reason is excessive inflation. Appropriately increasing the inflation of the tire can reduce the rolling resistance of the tire and save fuel. When the inflation is too high, it not only affects the shock absorption performance of the tire but also causes excessive deformation of the tire, reducing the contact area with the ground. Normal wear can only be borne by the central part of the tread, resulting in early wear. If wide tires are selected on narrow rims, it can also cause early wear in the central part. 2. Excessive wear on both sides of the tire: The main reasons are insufficient inflation or long-term overload driving. When the inflation is low or the load is heavy, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, causing both sides of the tire to come into contact with the ground and participate in work, resulting in early wear. 3. Excessive wear on one side of the tire: The main reason is inaccurate front wheel alignment. When the camber angle of the front wheels is too large, the outer side of the tire experiences early wear. When the camber angle is too small or absent, the inner side of the tire experiences early wear.

How many driving modes does the Honda Breeze dashboard have?

Honda Breeze offers five driving modes: Eco, EV, Auto, Low Gear, and Sport. You can switch between these modes using the gear lever or by pressing the buttons near the center console. The Eco mode doesn't save as much fuel as car manufacturers claim, but it still has some effect. Here are the characteristics of the five driving modes in the Honda Breeze. 1. Eco Mode (ECO): In this mode, the vehicle's computer limits fuel injection and adjusts the transmission's shifting logic. Simply put, the vehicle's full power is restrained. When the driver presses the accelerator, the power doesn't kick in immediately but builds up gradually, making the vehicle feel sluggish. 2. Electric Mode (EV): This mode is only available in hybrid models. When switched to EV mode, the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motor, and the engine does not engage. The engine automatically starts when the system detects low battery levels. 3. Auto Mode: This mode intelligently balances all performance aspects, making it ideal for drivers who prefer a balanced driving experience. Similar to a camera's "auto mode," it's designed for drivers who prefer minimal manual adjustments. The suspension is moderately tuned, and the engine's power delivery feels responsive without significant lag. 4. Dynamic Mode: Also known as "Sport Mode," the Dynamic mode makes the throttle response more aggressive. It downshifts earlier and upshifts later to keep the engine in a high-torque range for extended periods. This results in a noticeable push-back sensation and strong acceleration response. However, higher RPMs increase fuel consumption and wear on the engine and transmission. That said, occasional spirited driving can help clear carbon deposits from the engine. 5. Low Gear Mode (L Gear): When using L gear, the engine operates at its maximum torque range, delivering full power output. This mode is suitable for climbing steep hills or descending long slopes.

What is the fuel consumption of CFMOTO 150NK?

The fuel consumption of CFMOTO 150NK is approximately 2.2-2.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are some details about the CFMOTO 150NK: 1. How to save fuel: Driving at an economical speed of around 50-60 km/h is more fuel-efficient. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, maintain a smooth and steady speed, and properly match the speed with the engine RPM to save fuel. 2. Appearance: The CFMOTO 150NK comes in three colors: Pearl Black (limited edition), Royal Blue, and Pearl White. The design of the 150NK, whether in terms of color schemes or lines, stands out impressively. Its design level is relatively advanced among models in the same class, which is also an important element of the 150NK's "New Species" concept. The most eye-catching feature of the 150NK is its exposed trellis frame, which ensures body rigidity while minimizing weight, improving handling flexibility and reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, the flat headlight and the upward-sloping tail lines are also striking, and the headlight design is the prototype of the "Urban New Species" logo. 3. Some configurations: Rich configurations are also a major selling point of the 150NK. The suspension system of the new model adopts an inverted front fork and a rear center-mounted independent single-tube shock absorber, aligning with larger displacement models. The braking system is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, with the front brake using a radial opposed four-piston caliper. The new model also provides mounting points for easy upgrades by riders. In terms of the lighting system, the new model comes standard with LED daytime running lights, and the turn signals and taillights also use LED sources, which are smaller and more durable. 4. Horsepower: The 150NK is powered by a 149.4cc single-cylinder water-cooled engine, equipped with Bosch's fuel injection system, upgraded from the Night Cat engine. It delivers a maximum horsepower of 14.5 HP (at 9000 RPM) and a peak torque of 12.2 Nm (at 6500 RPM), with a vehicle weight of 142 kg. Notably, the 150NK's engine features two output modes: Normal and Sport. According to CFMOTO, the Sport mode provides more direct output and increases horsepower by 10% compared to the Normal mode. This configuration not only reduces fuel consumption but also allows riders to switch modes when they want to enjoy a more dynamic riding experience.

Causes and Solutions for Abnormal Noises When Accelerating

Causes and solutions for abnormal noises when accelerating are as follows: 1. Fuel pump motor noise: When the fuel pump motor is worn or contaminated with impurities, it may produce abnormal noises upon acceleration. This issue requires replacing the fuel pump. 2. Throttle body noise: Modern throttle bodies are electronic, controlled by a motor for opening and closing. Worn motor gears can lead to insufficient engagement, causing noise. Excessive carbon deposits and sludge in the throttle body can also result in abnormal sounds. Cleaning the throttle body may resolve this, but a damaged motor necessitates throttle body disassembly and servo motor replacement.

What Does Inspection Lapse Mean?

How to Repair a Car Roof Damaged by Hail?

There are several methods to repair a car roof damaged by hail: 1. Bodywork and repainting: Use bodywork techniques to flatten the dents caused by hail, then apply putty and repaint the affected area. However, hail damage often covers a large area, and choosing bodywork and repainting means losing a significant portion of the original car paint. 2. Paintless dent repair (PDR): PDR utilizes principles of physics, optics, and mechanics to massage and push out dents from the inside of the car body using lever tools. This method gradually refines large dents until they blend seamlessly with the car paint. The same technique is applied to repair each hail dent individually.
