The maintenance interval for the Trumpchi GS5 should be based on the maintenance manual, typically every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, whichever comes first (time or mileage). The maintenance items include changing the engine oil and oil filter. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The Trumpchi GS5 is an SUV model developed by GAC Motor on a high-performance European car chassis. Combining classic European design and crafted with new technology, the Trumpchi GS5 features innovations in technology, craftsmanship, configuration, and both active and passive safety. It is available with 2.0L and 1.8T engine options, as well as both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems.

I drive a GAC Trumpchi GS5, and the maintenance schedule is quite regular. The manufacturer recommends servicing every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. I've always stuck to this because engine oil degrades over time, affecting performance and fuel consumption. In city traffic jams, the oil wears out faster, so I suggest not delaying it too long. I check the dipstick every three months to ensure there are no leaks, and I change the oil earlier after long highway trips. After developing this habit, the car has run over 80,000 kilometers and still feels like new, with no major issues. Regular maintenance really can extend the car's lifespan and save a lot of hassle.

How to Adjust the Headlight Height on the Elantra?

The button for adjusting the headlight height on the Elantra is located below the left air vent on the dashboard. The adjustment knob has four positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Position 0 is generally used when the vehicle is unloaded, while position 3 is used when the vehicle is fully loaded. If the vehicle's headlights still do not meet usage requirements after adjustment, the basic headlight position can also be adjusted at a repair shop. The Elantra is equipped with an advanced AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) system, which can effectively predict potential collisions by assessing the relative speed and size of obstacles in front of the vehicle, enabling automatic braking in emergencies. Additionally, the BSD (Blind Spot Detection) system provides prominent warning alerts even during the day. To enhance safety, the Elantra's body is constructed with 53% hot-stamped steel and ultra-high-tensile steel plates, significantly increasing the average strength of the vehicle body.

What is the drainage principle of a car's front windshield?

The drainage principle of a car's front windshield involves a rain collector panel on the windshield surface. When rainwater flows to this area, it is directed out through drainage holes at the front of the car's side beams. The lower decorative component of the front windshield is commonly referred to as the water channel trim. A high-quality water channel trim ensures uniform gaps and minimal surface discrepancies when fitted with the windshield. The functions of the water channel trim are primarily divided into two aspects: diverting rainwater and directing airflow in the engine compartment. Since the water channel trim is installed between the front windshield and the car's body frame, improper rainwater diversion can lead to water entering the engine compartment, causing operational issues with the engine.

What to Do When the Magotan's Reversing Camera Stops Working?

If the Magotan's reversing camera is not working, first check if the reverse lights are on. If they are not, the original car's fuse may be blown, and replacing the fuse should solve the issue. Next, inspect the control wires of the display screen and the power and video cables of the camera to see if they have come loose. If they have, reconnect and secure them properly. If the first two points are not the issue, then the camera itself may be faulty, and replacing it will be necessary. The dimensions of the 2016 Magotan are 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm.
