Pros and cons of installing remote start are as follows: Advantages: You can start the car without a key, eliminating the hassle of forgetting to bring the key. In winter, you can pre-start the car for warming up, so you won't shiver from the cold when entering the car. In summer, after the car has been exposed to the sun, you can start it in advance and turn on the air conditioning to cool it down, thereby improving the comfort inside the car. Disadvantages: It's easy to forget to turn off the engine, leading to fuel waste. Misoperation causing the car to start automatically can also result in fuel wastage. The requirements are stringent; parking in an underground garage or areas with weak signals can affect the functionality of this feature.

What are the dimensions of the Borgward BX7's trunk?

The maximum depth of the Borgward BX7's trunk is 1890mm, the regular depth is 990mm, the minimum width is 1010mm, and the height is 740mm. According to official data, the standard trunk capacity of the BX7 five-seater version is 545 liters, with a maximum capacity of 1377 liters. Rear seats: The rear seats do not support folding, which means the capacity is sufficient for normal use and can meet the needs of most families for regular travel. However, the inability to fold the rear seats affects the flexibility of the trunk space to some extent, though this drawback is not critical. Do not place valuables in the trunk: Valuables here not only refer to money but also include expensive items. In reality, the trunk is not as secure as one might think. Modern thieves can easily open it using current technology, and items stored in the trunk are often overlooked. As a result, owners may not notice the loss of these items until much later.

What is the fuel consumption of the Jimny?

The fuel consumption of the Jimny is around 10 liters. The fuel consumption of a car is not only related to the car itself but also closely tied to the driver's habits and the driving conditions. Reasons for the Jimny's high fuel consumption: In terms of power, the new Jimny is equipped with a 0.6T and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. Although the engine displacement of this car is relatively small, it is a genuine off-road vehicle. The classic body-on-frame structure combined with Suzuki's unique AllGrip four-wheel-drive system results in slightly higher fuel consumption for this car. Fuel-saving tips for daily driving: If you want to improve your car's fuel economy, the first thing to do is to change your driving habits. When driving, try to maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration, as this is the most fuel-efficient way to drive. In daily use, it is also essential to maintain your car regularly. Regular maintenance ensures that the car remains in good condition, which also helps improve fuel economy.

What Causes the Clicking Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel?

There are several reasons why a car makes a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel: 1. Sound from the turn signal reset: If the turn signal is activated while turning, the noise might be from the rebound clip of the automatic reset mechanism of the turn signal. The driver should verify this, as it is a normal occurrence. 2. Noise from the steering column dust cover: Lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover can cause friction noise. Applying some grease inside the dust cover should eliminate the noise. 3. Noise coming from the steering wheel: If the noise originates from the steering wheel, it is likely due to the clock spring (spiral cable) inside. Remove the steering wheel, apply grease to the clock spring, and check if the noise persists. If it does, the clock spring may need replacement as it could be damaged.
