It reminds the driver to perform vehicle maintenance in a timely manner. There are 4 maintenance taboos: 1. Avoid poor ventilation: Do not run the engine for a long time in an unventilated garage. The exhaust gas from the engine contains carbon monoxide. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause headaches, rapid breathing, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, and even brain damage. 2. Avoid sucking fuel pipes with the mouth: Gasoline is not only flammable and explosive but also toxic, especially leaded gasoline, which can damage the nervous system, digestive tract, and kidneys. In addition, gasoline contains high concentrations of sulfides. Since hydrogen sulfide is also toxic, inhaling gasoline can lead to poisoning or death. 3. Avoid exposure to carburetor cleaner: Most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol. Inhaling these substances or getting them on the skin and eyes can pose safety hazards. 4. Avoid mechanical injuries: When performing maintenance, clear work signs should be set up. When starting the car, pay attention to the gear position of the transmission to prevent accidental movement that could injure people. When working under the engine hood, ensure others leave the driver's seat to prevent accidental injuries caused by sudden engine movement or operation of controls by others.

What does LIM mean in Audi cars?

Audi car's "LIM" is the speed limit function button. Here is the relevant information: 1. "LIM" is the speed limit function button. When this function is turned on, the maximum speed can only reach the set limit speed, and the speed will not increase even if the accelerator is pressed further. 2. When the vehicle is stationary, pressing this button will default to a speed limit of 30km/h; when pressed while driving, the current speed value will be set as the speed limit trigger point. Press to turn on, press again to turn off. 3. When the accelerator is pressed less than 95%, the speed will not exceed the set speed. When the set speed is reached, the vehicle will sound an alarm. Pressing the accelerator all the way down can exceed the set speed limit, but the speed limit function will still be effective after releasing the accelerator. The speed limit function can prevent speeding and is a very practical feature.

How to Use the Auto Hold Function in Honda Vezel?

Vezel's auto hold function is turned off by default and needs to be manually activated. Press the auto hold button (BRAKEHOLD), and after the vehicle comes to a complete stop, a green icon will appear on the dashboard, indicating that the auto hold is engaged. At this point, you can release the brake pedal. Below is a detailed introduction to the auto hold function: 1. Auto hold refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on slopes. However, the AUTO-HOLD function uses a slope sensor to provide precise braking force via the control unit. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, ensuring a smooth start.

How Much Antifreeze Should Be Added Each Time?

Generally, 5 to 6 liters of antifreeze should be added, divided into two additions. Some vehicles may require a top-up after driving three to four kilometers because antifreeze naturally depletes over time. However, there is no strict regulation on the exact amount to be added for each vehicle, as it depends on the specific condition of the car. Method for Replacing Antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes. Pay special attention to the five-way water pipe, which gets its name from the five connecting interfaces that link various parts. Antifreeze flows through this pipe and is distributed to different sections of the car to perform its function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this area, replace the water pipe or reseal the interface as needed. Drain the old antifreeze and then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue filling it until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Keep adding clean water until the outflowing water is clear. Remember to remove the heater hose and drain all water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of antifreeze to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level may drop slightly as air is purged from the system. Top up the antifreeze to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
