There are two mileage numbers on the car dashboard as follows: 1. Total kilometers traveled by the car: Measured in kilometers, this cannot be reset. 2. Measurable kilometers: This can be manually reset by pressing and holding the black cylindrical button on the dashboard. The total kilometers traveled by the car normally cannot be reset. Below are the differences between the two types of car speedometers: 1. Roller counter: In the past, purely mechanical instruments were commonly used, connected to the output shaft of the transmission via a flexible shaft, with the other end connected to the odometer. 2. Electronic instrument: Generally, a speed sensor is installed on the output shaft of the transmission or on the wheel, and the read speed is converted into vehicle speed and mileage through a calculation formula embedded in the control module.

Which X-Trail model has transmission issues?

X-Trail transmission issues occur in the Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail. Below are some common transmission faults: 1. Locked gears, pressure sensor failure codes, stepper motor failure, rotation sensor failure. These are mostly caused by component malfunctions, with the most common being stepper motor immobility leading to damage. 2. Pressure solenoid valve alerts, gear shift impacts, engagement impacts - these situations require valve body replacement. 3. Components detaching inside the torque converter, causing turbine damage. 4. Chain and sprocket wear when mileage exceeds 150,000 km. 5. Insufficient oil causing chain slippage and abnormal noises. When oil temperature reaches 65°C, transmission oil flows to the radiator, significantly reducing oil pan levels. Excessively low oil levels lead to chain slippage, abnormal noises, and transmission damage.

Land Rover Discovery 4: Its front face has a hollowed-out design, making it more fashionable, and the headlight group also incorporates the popular LED design. 3. Different panels: The front panel design of Discovery 4 is more luxurious than that of Discovery 3. The interior of Discovery 3 has too many dark plastic parts, which obviously does not give a sense of luxury. Although the air ducts and button layout of Discovery 4 are not much different, the interior colors are much richer. The plastic area of the entire center console is reduced, while the area of white faux leather is increased. At the same time, the interior incorporates a large amount of genuine aluminum alloy, wood, and leather to express a noble temperament.

Which rearview mirror to look at when reversing into the right parking space?

When reversing the vehicle into the right parking space, you need to alternately check the left and right rearview mirrors to ensure the vehicle safely enters the parking space and avoid crossing the lines. Precautions when reversing into a parking space: Do not confuse the brake and accelerator, and do not make mistakes with the gear: Confusing the brake and accelerator is a common mistake made by novice drivers when they are nervous. Do not stick your head or hands out of the window. When your head is outside the window, your posture will be distorted, which can affect your judgment of the distance to the brake and accelerator, making it easier to step on the wrong pedal. Before releasing the brake or stepping on the accelerator each time, confirm that you are in the correct gear, and only proceed after confirming it is correct. Ensure the safety of people around the vehicle when reversing: When reversing, the person assisting should not stand directly at the front or rear of the vehicle to guide. If guidance is needed, stand at the side of the vehicle. Be aware of whether there are children around the vehicle. Children are unpredictable and small in size. If they are left unattended near the vehicle, they can easily enter the driver's blind spot when reversing, posing a danger.

What does the restriction on second-hand car relocation mean?

The restriction on second-hand car relocation means that some vehicles from other regions with excessively low emission standards are not allowed to be relocated locally. Below is a relevant introduction to the relocation restriction: 1. Meaning: The so-called "relocation restriction" refers to measures taken by some localities to restrict the environmental standards or age of second-hand motor vehicles from other provinces or cities, in order to prevent a large influx of these vehicles into the local market. To put it simply: the restriction on second-hand car relocation means that cross-regional transfer of ownership must comply with the licensing policies of the destination region. That is, some vehicles from other regions with excessively low emission standards are not allowed to be relocated locally. 2. Cancellation of relocation restrictions: The cancellation of relocation restrictions means lifting the limitation that vehicles from one region cannot be relocated to another due to local emission standards. For example, if the emission standard in Huainan is China 2 and in Beijing it is China 4, vehicles from Huainan cannot be relocated to Beijing. With the cancellation, vehicles with higher standards can be relocated to regions with lower standards, but not vice versa.

Should the 2019 Buick Excelle use 5W30 or 0W20?

The original engine oil for the Buick Excelle 1.4T is Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic oil; the Buick Excelle 1.5L uses the factory 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil. Below is the relevant introduction about engine oil: 1. Comparison between 5W30 and 0W20: 5W30 and 0W20 have different high and low-temperature performance. 0W20 has better low-temperature fluidity and can be used in lower environmental temperatures; while 5W30 has better high-temperature protection performance, with higher viscosity. Although it increases fuel consumption, considering the Excelle model, 5W30 is more suitable for its engine requirements. 2. Engine oil brands: For the choice of engine oil brands, if long-lasting oil is needed, Mobil oil can be used; if the oil needs strong cleaning ability, Shell oil is recommended; if the oil needs strong oil film toughness, Castrol is suggested. For turbocharged engines, which are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, Shell oil with strong cleaning ability can be used.
