Items needed for the first maintenance include: driver's license; vehicle registration certificate; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle's purchase invoice. Bring these to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after the new car has been driven. The specific time varies by car, usually after driving 5,000 kilometers. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, and it can now be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time for the first maintenance is calculated based on the date of picking up the car. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first is the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various oil levels for normality, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normality, and examining the tires for damage or bulges. Required time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important part of the new car's first maintenance is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle Use and Maintenance Manual," as different models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. Here, it is important to remind that the interior of the car body should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, brush them with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driving compartment. If water enters, it will not dry but flow through these holes to the gearbox and other parts, causing erosion and corrosion. The better practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is insufficient, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Since different brands of antifreeze have different chemical functions, various functional additives may corrode others. Different brands of antifreeze use different additives, so do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function again. To prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to them, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is driving at high speed, the bolts and nuts can be easily loosened or even fall off, leading to driving failures. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a regular car. Its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and working conditions, making the starter run smoothly.

What is the wading depth of the Elysion Hybrid?

The maximum wading depth of the Elysion Hybrid is 135mm. The wading depth of the Elysion Hybrid is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Elysion Hybrid is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it can cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct procedures should be followed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting if the vehicle stalls in water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingress. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow it at a low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, use warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles as reference points to estimate water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not proceed and choose an alternative route.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Highlander?

The Highlander currently has 9 models on sale. The fuel tank capacity of all 2.5L versions is 65 liters, while that of all 2.0T versions is 72.5 liters. These figures are officially released data. Highlander owners can also check this information on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2.5L Highlander models require 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.3-5.8L per 100 km. A full tank can cover a distance of 1120 to 1226 km. The 2.0T Highlander models require 95-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 8.9L per 100 km. A full tank can cover a distance of 814 km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level. There is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity.
