The reasons for a new car battery running out of power include the following situations: 1. Before sale, new cars are usually stored in large warehouses where the battery is rarely disconnected. The battery continues to consume power internally. By the time you purchase the car, the battery may already be in a state of insufficient charge. 2. The battery charges only when the engine is running, meaning the car must be idling or driving to charge the battery. If the new car is driven short distances daily, the engine may not provide sufficient charge to the battery, leading to power depletion. 3. In extremely cold weather, the distilled water in the battery may freeze, reducing its discharge capacity and causing power depletion.

What is the difference between 5w30 and 5w40?

5w30 and 5w40 differ in viscosity: 5w30 oil has a kinematic viscosity between 10 and 12, while 5w40 oil has a kinematic viscosity between 13 and 16. The 'W' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. The number after the 'W' represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius. A higher number indicates higher viscosity, better protection at high temperatures, and can also be understood as representing the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., the likelihood of thinning). A larger number means better high-temperature stability performance.

Which Cars Come with HUD Head-Up Display?

BMW 5 Series Li, Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 508, Audi A6, Audi A7, Lexus GS, and Land Rover Vision Concept are among the models equipped with HUD head-up displays. Due to the high cost of this system, it was previously only available in a few luxury cars priced in the million-dollar range. Here is more information about HUD head-up displays: 1. HUD stands for Head-Up-Display, which translates to a head-up display in Chinese. It utilizes augmented reality technology to project vehicle or road condition information onto the display (primarily the windshield). Different types of HUDs project varying data such as speed, time, and engine status. Most HUDs use innovative phosphors to project information onto the windshield via lasers. Some HUDs also integrate transparent screens to display critical information. 2. Installing an HUD head-up display in a car not only showcases a cool sense of technology but, more importantly, ensures safe and stable driving by allowing the driver to focus more on observing the road and driving, thereby enhancing travel safety on every trip.

Why did the dash cam suddenly stop lighting up?

Reasons why the dash cam suddenly stops lighting up: 1. The dash cam is out of power: If the dash cam is used continuously for a long time, it will reduce the battery life, and the screen will naturally go dark when the battery is depleted; 2. The dash cam's own screen saver: Similar to a computer screen, some dash cams will automatically turn off the screen to save power if not operated for a long time; 3. The dash cam has crashed: If the internal system of the dash cam becomes disordered, it can easily cause a crash; 4. The dash cam is damaged: If the dash cam is damaged due to a traffic accident or human factors, it is necessary to ask a professional to repair or replace it with a new one.

Can car maintenance be done outside of 4S shops?

According to regulations, car maintenance does not have to be performed at 4S shops, and car owners have the right to choose maintenance service providers. More details are as follows: 1. The "Three Guarantees Policy" for automobiles stipulates that if quality issues arise with household cars not maintained at manufacturer-authorized 4S shops, and these issues are not causally related to the maintenance, and no damage is caused by maintenance at other 4S shops, the dealer cannot be exempted from the three guarantees responsibility. Automakers linking warranty coverage to maintenance at 4S shops and mandating maintenance at 4S shops constitutes an unfair clause. 2. For new cars under warranty, if maintenance (such as oil, oil filter, or air filter changes) is performed outside, some 4S shops may claim that issues are caused by substandard oil or filters replaced elsewhere, thus voiding the warranty. Since fluid-related matters are difficult to verify, this can be troublesome. It is recommended that fluid replacements in critical systems like powertrain, brakes, and transmission be done at 4S shops, while consumables like cabin air filters can be replaced elsewhere.
