Dongfeng Renault City K-ZE, this electric vehicle, has an official comprehensive range of 271 kilometers. It is equipped with a relatively small battery pack, only 26.8kWh. Here are some relevant details: 1. The Renault City K-ZE has a wheelbase of 2423mm, which is not too short, but the designers pursued an extremely compact body size of 3735mm x 1579mm x 1515mm, making it clear at a glance that this is a city commuter car. 2. In terms of storage space, the Renault City K-ZE offers a trunk volume of 300L. Despite the perfect performance in seating area space, it still provides such a large trunk space, which is somewhat unexpected. If the rear seats are folded down, the storage space can be further increased. 3. The interior features some detailed designs and combinations that meet the unique standards of joint-venture cars. To cater to the domestic market trend, it also comes with an 8-inch LCD display screen, which is quite impressive.

I just got my hands on the Renault City K-ZE electric vehicle, which has an official claimed range of 395 kilometers (WLTP standard). However, in actual use, I find it typically fluctuates between 330-350 kilometers, mainly depending on driving habits and environmental conditions. For example, when I drive in stop-and-go city commuting, I can get close to 360 kilometers because the energy recovery system helps save power. But when driving on the highway at speeds above 120 km/h or with rapid acceleration, the range can drop to around 300 kilometers. Weather is also a key factor; using air conditioning in summer or heating in winter can reduce the range by another 20-plus kilometers. My car has a 52kWh battery, and the battery health is still good. By maintaining smooth driving and proper tire pressure, I can slightly improve the range. Overall, as a daily commuter, charging once a week is sufficient, making it quite worry-free and reducing range anxiety.

What are the basic steps for replacing an oil filter?

The steps for replacing an oil filter are as follows: 1. Remove the drain plug and drain the engine oil. 2. After draining, clean the drain plug. Then reinstall the drain plug and tighten it as required, with a tightening torque of 30N·m. 3. Loosen the oil filter using an oil filter wrench. 4. Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter. 5. Hand-tighten the new oil filter onto the oil filter bracket until the filter's O-ring contacts the mounting surface. Then tighten it further using the oil filter wrench. To ensure proper tightening, accurately identify the exact position where the filter's O-ring initially contacts the mounting surface. 6. After contact with the mounting surface, tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn using the oil filter wrench. Tightening torque: 15N·m. Note: Oil filters vary, but only high-quality filters can ensure maintenance quality. Therefore, it is essential to use genuine, high-quality oil filters. Using non-compliant oil filters may cause engine oil leaks and contamination. Special reminder: Before installing a new oil filter, always replace the rubber gasket on the cylinder block's filter mount.

What is the maintenance interval for the Volkswagen Golf?

The maintenance interval is not fixed. If high-quality fully synthetic oil is used, maintenance can be performed every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. If mineral oil is used, maintenance should be done every 5,000 kilometers. Here is more information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is known as the lifeblood of the engine. It serves to lubricate, clean, seal, cool, cushion, and prevent rust within the engine. 2. Without engine oil, the engine cannot function properly. During routine maintenance, changing the oil is a primary task. Each time the oil is changed, the oil filter should also be replaced. If the oil is not changed for an extended period, it can oxidize and degrade, reducing its lubricating properties and increasing engine wear. When purchasing engine oil, it is essential to choose the appropriate viscosity. The oil's viscosity should neither be too high nor too low. If the viscosity is too high, it increases the engine's operating resistance; if it is too low, it accelerates engine wear. 3. During normal engine operation, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of engine components, reducing friction between them. If the oil is not changed for a long time, it cannot maintain a stable protective film, leading to increased engine wear. When purchasing an oil filter, always opt for products from reputable brands.

How long after car window tinting can ETC be installed?

After car window tinting, you need to wait one month before reinstalling the ETC device. The process for installing ETC in a car is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU - a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display "Label Invalid" and "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the protective film on the OBU adhesive backing and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with its front facing the driver and back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device. Where ETC can be installed: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, install it on the lower middle part. ETC installation position requirements: Height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; The installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane).

How Long Can Antifreeze Be Stored?

Generally speaking, the shelf life of antifreeze is two years. For long-life antifreeze, the shelf life can be longer, ranging from three to five years. However, it is essential to refer to the product's manual for specific details. If the antifreeze has passed its expiration date but shows no signs of deterioration, it can still be used. Functions of Antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year. Methods to Determine a Lack of Antifreeze: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to a lack of antifreeze, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Inspect the water level scale on the antifreeze bottle. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. To determine if antifreeze is lacking, check the scale. If the antifreeze level is below the minimum mark, it indicates a deficiency.

How to Confirm ETC is Functioning Properly After Installation?

You can remove the card and reinsert it into the device. For a debit card device, it will display 'card' or 'debit card,' while a stored-value card device will show the balance, indicating normal status. Additionally, when passing through an ETC lane, a beep sound signifies successful deduction of the fee, and the barrier automatically rises, confirming normal operation. Benefits of Installing ETC: Saves time by eliminating the need to queue and wait. Environmentally friendly, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution. Reduces wear and tear and saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improves efficiency, as ETC lanes theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. How ETC Works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, computer networking technology is used for backend settlement processing with banks. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees.

Where to Add Transmission Fluid for the Hyundai Elantra?

Modern Hyundai Elantra has only one screw on the transmission oil pan, which serves as both the filling hole and the draining hole. Unscrewing this screw allows for the replacement of the transmission fluid. Transmission fluid not only delivers power to the gears through hydraulic pressure but also functions to lubricate and clean the transmission. Below are some relevant details about transmission fluid: 1. Transmission fluid is an oil product designed to keep the gear system clean, providing lubrication to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. It offers effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and reduces oil loss under severe operating conditions. 2. Depending on the structure of the transmission, transmission fluid is categorized into automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid. In fact, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models may vary in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. 3. Therefore, it is best to use the original manufacturer's transmission fluid. This is because when changing the transmission fluid, some of the old fluid cannot be completely drained and remains in the transmission. Mixing this residual fluid with other brands of fluid may cause a reaction, leading to transmission damage. 4. Not all high-quality fluids are suitable for every vehicle model, and switching to a premium fluid does not necessarily mean it will perform better than the original manufacturer's fluid.
