Alto is recommended to use 5W-30 oil, which is the best oil viscosity recommended by the Alto manual. It provides quieter power and better fuel economy at an affordable price. The Suzuki New Alto, on the other hand, recommends using 5W-20 or 0W-20 viscosity oil. The former viscosity is usually semi-synthetic oil, while the latter is mostly fully synthetic oil. Additional information: 1. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is hailed as the 'blood' of a car. It serves to lubricate, clean, cool, seal, reduce wear, prevent rust, and protect against corrosion in the engine. Engine oil can be categorized into: conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. 2. The main difference between semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oil lies in the fact that fully synthetic oil has a wider temperature range and longer service life. For the same oil film requirements, fully synthetic oil can achieve the desired effect with a lower viscosity, whereas semi-synthetic oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements.

What is the battery model for the Teana key?

The button battery model in the Teana's remote key is CR2032. CR2032 is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. Among them: C - indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R - indicates the battery shape is cylindrical. If it were square, F would be used instead; 20 - indicates the battery diameter is 20mm; 32 - represents the battery height is 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity varies between 200-240mAh, depending on the manufacturer's quality. The shelf life of CR2032 is typically 5 years. If the manufacturing level is low or quality control is poor, its lifespan can be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can generally guarantee this lifespan. Under ideal usage conditions (sealed, room temperature, no moisture, etc.), the lifespan can be further extended to 8 years or even 10 years. Generally, replacing a car key battery only requires the following 3 steps: Step 1: Remove the mechanical key. Press the lock button on the side of the smart key to remove the mechanical key. Step 2: Open the battery cover. After removing the mechanical key, you can see a deep slot and a shallow slot at the top of the smart key. The deep slot is the keyhole, while the shallow slot is used to open the battery cover. Insert the mechanical key into the shallow slot and pry it outward to open the battery cover. Once opened, you can see the button battery. Gently pry it out to remove the battery. Step 3: Replace the new battery. Install the new battery, then reattach the battery cover and mechanical key in order. The key battery replacement is now complete.

Should the handbrake be up or down when starting?

Release the handbrake first, which means putting it down. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Precautions for starting: When driving a manual transmission car, the coordination between the throttle and clutch should be good during starting. In normal starting, it is required to start smoothly and safely, with the correct driving posture. When starting, pay attention to selecting the appropriate gear according to the specific conditions of the car, such as road and slope. Generally, on flat and solid roads or grounds, you should use 1st or 2nd gear to start. 2. Confirm the starting conditions: After starting the engine, listen to its operation and observe the indications of each instrument. After confirming that the engine is running normally and there are no obstacles around the car, and all conditions for starting the car are met, press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot to completely disengage the clutch.

How Often Should the Clutch Cable Be Replaced?

There is no fixed time limit for replacing the clutch cable; it can be used as long as it is not damaged. The conditions under which the clutch cable needs to be replaced and its function are as follows: Conditions for replacing the clutch cable: The clutch cable should be replaced when it is found that the friction is severe when the clutch is pressed down or when the return is abnormal. Generally, water ingress causes rust between the steel wire and the protective sleeve, leading to poor cable return. Function of the clutch cable: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission.

What are the reasons for car turn signals not lighting up?

There are many reasons why car turn signals may not light up, including possible causes such as open circuits, faulty flasher relays, excessive contact gap, and other factors. Open the flasher relay cover and check if the coil and resistor are intact. If the resistor heats up and the contacts cannot close, press the movable contact; if the turn signal lights up at this point, it indicates a relay malfunction. Adjust the contact gap if it is too large. If the turn signals do not light up when pressing the movable contact and the contacts close, use a screwdriver to short-circuit the contacts. If the lights come on, it indicates oxidized contacts. If the turn signals still do not light up, the turn signal switch may be faulty. Use a screwdriver to connect the turn signal switch's live wire to the left and right light wire terminals separately. If the lights come on, it means the turn signal switch is faulty and should be removed for repair or replacement. The function of car turn signals: To alert pedestrians and other vehicles of an upcoming turn or U-turn, as many areas are not visible while driving, so turning on the turn signals reminds others to avoid in time. On highways, when overtaking or changing lanes, using turn signals informs surrounding vehicles to prevent accidents. The flashing also indicates an emergency situation, typically used during unexpected incidents to alert other vehicles to stay safe. If the lights do not come on after activation, it indicates an open circuit in the wire between the flasher and the fuse. Check the location of the open circuit. If the lights stay on continuously after activation, replace the flasher relay fuse. If all lights flash when the hazard lights are pressed, it means the turn signal switch is damaged or there is an open circuit between the switch's live wire terminal and the wiring harness.
