The second maintenance for a new car is best performed when the car has traveled 10,000 kilometers or after about one year. Here is more information about the second maintenance for a new car: 1. The maintenance items involve inspections and maintenance of dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires. The key items are still changing the engine oil and oil filter. 2. During the second maintenance, both the air filter and the air conditioning filter need to be replaced. 3. For the second car maintenance, there is no need for other replacements or cleaning, such as engine cleaning. Performing these items during the second maintenance is too early, which is both a waste of money and time. Other inspection items, such as checking the coolant, brake fluid, tire pressure, etc., are usually free.

What is the fuel consumption of the GL8 2.0T?

The official combined fuel consumption of the Buick GL8 2.0T is 8.5-9 (L/100km), but actual fuel consumption varies from person to person. Fuel consumption is influenced by driving habits, road conditions, weather, and other factors. The following are details about fuel consumption: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain distance (100 kilometers) on the road. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis. The measured values are converted into speed parameters, and the vehicle is then driven at specified speeds to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking while driving; make full use of the vehicle's inertia and reduce unnecessary braking; use cruise control correctly; utilize the air conditioning system efficiently; reduce the vehicle's weight by removing unnecessary items and cleaning mud from the chassis in a timely manner to lighten the load.

How to Operate BMW's Automatic Parking?

BMW's automatic parking operation steps are as follows: 1. Press the parking button: Press the P button next to the gear lever, drive the car near the parking space, and press the PDC button (automatic parking button). 2. Drive slowly to find a parking space: Then drive at a speed below 40km/h. At this time, the ultrasonic sensors can effectively detect parking spaces, once a space about 1.25 meters longer than the car body is detected. 3. After braking, select the parking direction: Stop the car. For BMW's new automatic parking system, the owner can choose between parallel parking or perpendicular parking, while the old system only allows parallel parking. 4. Start automatic parking: After confirming parking, hold down the PDC button and release the brake pedal and steering wheel. The automatic parking function is activated, and the automatic parking assist system controls the car's steering, acceleration, and braking until the vehicle enters the parking space and automatically cancels.

How to Reset the Accord Maintenance Reminder Light?

First, turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then press button A on the right side of the instrument panel. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position again, and the word "service" will appear on the instrument panel. Release button A to complete the maintenance light reset. The maintenance reminder light is a small wrench-shaped indicator on the combination meter, designed to remind the owner to perform vehicle maintenance after a certain mileage. When this light stays on for an extended period, the owner should take the vehicle to a 4S dealership for maintenance. Different manufacturers set varying maintenance intervals, so always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual. Below is an introduction to the Accord: Powertrain: The 2.4L i-VTEC engine builds upon Honda's proprietary VTEC technology, incorporating direct injection, Atkinson cycle, VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control), and an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system. This improves fuel economy by 13% and increases maximum torque by 8%. Configuration: Features MacPherson front suspension with lightweight design, enhancing driving performance through reduced body weight. It also utilizes liquid-filled flexible bushings, new valves and oil seals, along with Teflon sealing ring technology to deliver high-quality ride comfort.

Does Rain Affect the Car After a Full-Body Color Change Wrap?

Rain does not affect the car after a full-body color change wrap. Since the wrap is typically applied to the interior side of the car, as long as the windows are not opened during rain, there will be no impact on the vehicle. A full-body color change wrap involves covering the entire car or specific parts with a colorful and diverse film to alter its appearance. The wrap is primarily attached to the car's surface using polymer materials and is easy to remove. You can also wash the car after a full-body color change wrap, but it's best to wait at least a week to ensure no impact on the wrap, as all wraps have waterproof functionality. However, avoid washing or wetting the wrap immediately after application. Manual washing is recommended, as this method won't compromise the wrap's effectiveness. Generally, it's advisable to apply the wrap on rainy days or overcast days when there is less dust in the air and no direct sunlight, allowing the wrap to adhere better to the car's surface. However, before changing the car's color, you must report it to the vehicle management office to avoid unauthorized modifications. The wrap does not dry immediately after application, so it's best to avoid washing the car or rolling the windows up and down for at least a week to prevent issues like bubbling or poor adhesion. Proper maintenance is crucial after applying the car wrap.

What is the difference between OEM and brand parts?

OEM parts are produced by the same suppliers that provide components for the vehicle manufacturer's assembly line. Since a vehicle consists of numerous parts, most components are sourced from external suppliers and then assembled and calibrated by the automaker. For example, if the headlights on the original vehicle were supplied by Factory A, the replacement headlights for repairs will also be manufactured and provided by Factory A, then distributed to authorized 4S stores, hence referred to as OEM parts. Both the original factory-installed parts and later replacement parts come from the same manufacturer, using the same equipment and technology. The characteristics of OEM parts are reliable quality, identical size and functionality to the original vehicle parts, ensuring high compatibility, though they come at a higher price. Brand parts are produced by large automotive component companies specializing in aftermarket parts. These companies possess advanced equipment and strong technical capabilities, manufacturing high-quality components. However, since they don't supply directly to vehicle manufacturers, these products cannot be called OEM parts but are instead referred to as brand parts. Brand parts are known for their good quality, moderate pricing, and high cost-performance ratio. OEM parts: These are the actual components installed on vehicles by the manufacturer. Some parts aren't directly produced by the automaker, so they may bear two logos: the vehicle brand's logo and the manufacturer's brand logo. The quality of these parts is completely equivalent to the original factory-installed components, representing the highest quality in the aftermarket, though they are also the most expensive. Apart from large repair shops or authorized 4S stores, few places offer OEM parts as an option. Brand parts: As mentioned earlier, many OEM parts are manufactured by third-party brands. These brands also release their own parts, which may not be inferior in quality to OEM parts. The main difference often lies in the absence of the vehicle brand's logo. Their prices are relatively lower than OEM parts, typically around 80% of OEM pricing. Some premium aftermarket brands even develop upgraded parts for specific models that outperform OEM parts in quality and performance, naturally commanding higher prices.
