The original battery model of the BYD S7 is a VARTA 12V80AH maintenance-free battery. The service life of a car battery is generally 2 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last 3 to 4 years. Maintenance-free batteries require simple upkeep: check for any leakage, clean surface dirt, treat oxides on the positive and negative terminals, tighten the terminal clamps, and observe the color of the battery indicator. Below are the functions of the battery: 1. When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system. 2. When the engine is off or idling at low speed, it powers the car's electrical equipment. 3. When the generator's output is insufficient, it can assist in supplying power to the electrical equipment. 4. It mitigates voltage surges in the electrical system, protecting the car's electronic devices. 5. It stores excess electricity generated by the alternator.

I've been driving the BYD S7 for a while now. The original battery usually uses the L2-400 model, which is a 12V lead-acid battery with a capacity of around 60 ampere-hours, suitable for starting the car's 1.5T engine. As the car ages, the battery tends to degrade, especially during cold winters when starting becomes difficult and the discharge rate increases. I recommend regularly checking the battery terminals for corrosion and using a multimeter to measure voltage—a fully charged battery should read above 12.6V. The model number is printed on top of the battery for easy verification. When replacing, prioritize matching the original model to avoid compatibility issues affecting onboard electronics like the dashboard. Maintenance is simple: charge the battery every six months to extend its lifespan. Maintenance-free types are more convenient but slightly more expensive. Overall, choosing the right model can save a lot of repair hassle.

What needs to be done after holding a B2 driver's license for one year?

After holding a B2 driver's license for one year, you need to participate in relevant study and pass the examination for regularization within one month after the probation period ends. Here are the precautions during the probation period of the driver's license: 1. Need accompaniment on highways: You cannot drive alone on highways during the probation period. If a driver operates a motor vehicle on a highway during the probation period, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the corresponding or higher vehicle category for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. Driving without an accompanying driver or with an unqualified accompanying driver will result in a fine. 2. Display probation sign: You must display a probation sign when driving during the probation period. If you borrow or rent a car during the probation period, you must also display the probation sign as required; otherwise, you cannot drive. 3. Accumulating 12 penalty points: If you accumulate 12 penalty points, you will need to retake the test. If you accumulate 12 penalty points during the probation period, your driver's license will be revoked, and you will need to re-register and retake the tests from the beginning, including Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three.

Will undiluted windshield washer fluid affect the car?

No impact. The functions of windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Antifreeze effect: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, thereby preventing freezing and quickly dissolving frost. 2. Anti-fog effect: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring clear visibility through the windshield. 3. Anti-static effect: After cleaning with washer fluid, substances adhering to the glass surface can eliminate static charges on the glass, providing anti-static properties. 4. Lubrication effect: The ethylene glycol in the washer fluid has high viscosity, which provides lubrication, reduces friction between the wipers and glass, and prevents scratches.

What exactly does the name 'BYD' mean?

The initials 'BYD' stand for 'Build-Your-Dreams,' which is the English abbreviation of the company's name. Although 'BYD' had no special meaning when the company was first established, over time, the name has evolved to carry a special significance.

Below is some relevant information about BYD: Brand History: BYD Company Limited was founded in 1995, starting with a team of just over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. Originally a battery manufacturer, BYD's entry into the automotive industry was initially seen as an outsider's move. However, leveraging its 'independent intellectual property rights' and the acquisition of Qinchuan Auto, BYD gained a first-mover advantage over other newcomers. Brand Introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development strategy of independent research, production, and branding, committed to creating affordable and high-quality vehicles for the masses. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with the aesthetic values of Chinese culture.

What Causes a Diesel Engine to Emit Black Smoke When Accelerating?

Diesel engine emitting black smoke when accelerating can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Clogged air filter. 2. Fuel injector dripping instead of spraying. 3. Ignition timing issues, generally with minimal impact from spark; early fuel supply timing results in crisp sound and blue smoke, while late timing causes rough running or backfiring with white smoke. 4. Problems with the fuel pump, insufficient plunger pressure. 5. Loose screws on the vacuum tube connecting the turbocharger to the fuel pump, or loose tubes on the turbocharger's intake side. 6. Check if the engine is air-cooled; a dirty air-cooling system can also lead to lack of power and black smoke. Solution: Adjust the fuel injection advance angle, which can be resolved by contacting their after-sales service department.

Under What Circumstances Should High and Low Beam Headlights Be Switched?

Alternating between high and low beam headlights, first switching to high beam and then back to low beam, includes the following situations: 1. When drivers pass through sharp curves, slopes, overtaking (while simultaneously turning on the left signal), arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic signals. 2. During nighttime driving, giving some warning to the vehicle ahead: for example, if an oncoming vehicle is using high beams, making it difficult for the driver to see the road conditions, flashing the headlights twice can remind the other party to switch to low beams. Article 59 of the "Regulations" stipulates: When motor vehicles pass through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, they should alternately use high and low beam headlights to signal.
