I've been driving a Kia K3 automatic for over a year, mainly for commuting. The fuel consumption is relatively high during traffic jams, around 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, but it's more economical on the highway, dropping to about 6-7 liters. Using the air conditioning in summer increases it slightly, by about 1 liter. I think the car's fuel consumption is moderate—not particularly low but acceptable. It's important to pay attention to driving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, regularly clearing out trunk clutter to reduce weight, and maintaining proper tire pressure during routine maintenance, all of which can help save fuel. Additionally, there are slight differences in fuel consumption between different engine versions. My 1.5L version averages 8 liters in the city, but if you choose the 1.4T, it might be slightly more economical. Overall, it feels like a cost-effective commuter car, and I recommend using high-quality fuel regularly to keep the engine clean.

Carefully remove the battery, purchase a matching new battery from an auto shop, replace it with the new one, reconnect the in-car devices, and it will function normally. If the battery shows no damage and the SOS battery surface appears intact, drive the car to a repair shop and have it handled by professionals.

How to Repair a Car Battery?

Use a charging voltage higher than the standard battery voltage, approximately 1.3-1.5 times the standard voltage, such as using a 48V charger for a 36V battery. Use a charging voltage higher than the standard battery voltage, approximately 1.5-2.0 times the standard voltage, such as using a 3-4A voltage to charge a 20AH battery. Fully charge the battery and then completely discharge it. Performing 1-2 full charge-discharge cycles can improve the battery's capacity. The battery may be irreparable due to prolonged use or improper handling, requiring replacement with a new one.

How to Use the Anti-Skid Function

When starting the vehicle on snow-covered or waterlogged roads, the wheels are prone to skidding. The onboard computer will detect the wheel skidding and limit the engine output, requiring the ESP to be turned off. When encountering situations like getting stuck or off-road driving, the vehicle needs appropriate skidding to help extricate itself or climb, so to ensure successful extrication, the ESP should be turned off first. Snow chains used for driving in snow can interfere with the sensor data in the ESP system when altering the wheel's outer diameter, causing signal inaccuracies, thus requiring the ESP to be turned off. When the vehicle is drifting, the wheels are in a skidding state, and the ESP will intervene to limit the vehicle's skidding, necessitating the ESP to be turned off.
