During the initial break-in period of 1 to 500 kilometers, the speed should generally be kept below 70 to 80 km/h, with the engine speed not exceeding 2,200 rpm. The mid-term break-in period from 500 to 1,000 kilometers allows speeds of up to 90 to 100 km/h, with engine speeds below 2,500 rpm. In the later break-in stage of 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers, the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. All vehicles bear greater actual load when driving at low speeds compared to medium speeds, so it's not advisable to maintain speeds below 60 km/h for extended periods during the break-in period. The speed must be gradually increased. If the car is consistently driven at 80 km/h throughout the break-in period and then suddenly accelerated, it may cause the new car to perform poorly.

Is It Necessary to Repair Scratched Wheels and Tires?

It is necessary to repair scratched wheels and tires. The design of wheels and tires allows the wheels to function properly, serving as a support structure and an indispensable part of the vehicle. They enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the car and ensure driving safety. Wheels and tires are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for a long time, they may corrode or deform, leading to potential safety hazards. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the maintenance of wheels and tires. The methods for repairing wheels include: 1. Cleaning the wheels to inspect all scratches thoroughly, then drying them with a towel; 2. Repainting the wheels, using old newspapers to isolate the edges to prevent paint from getting on the tires; 3. Smoothing the scratches with fine sandpaper and applying body filler evenly, which can be done in multiple layers.

What is the starting procedure for a semi-automatic transmission?

The starting procedure for a semi-automatic transmission is: 1. Starting in automatic mode: Press the brake pedal, shift the gear lever to D (Drive) position, then release the brake to start moving slowly, and press the accelerator to speed up; 2. Starting in manual mode: Push the gear lever to M (Manual) position when starting, begin with first gear, then shift to second gear after starting, approximately shift to third gear at 30 km/h, and shift to fourth gear around 50 km/h. The semi-automatic transmission combines manual shifting and automatic shifting, integrating the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions, reducing power loss in the transmission system. Manual mode allows drivers to freely adjust gears and RPM, providing a thrilling and sporty driving experience, full of driving pleasure.

When to Change Transmission Fluid for Automatic Cars?

Automatic cars should have their transmission fluid changed every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid ensures smooth gear shifting, lubricates internal transmission components, and prevents damage during gear changes. Expired or deteriorated transmission fluid can lead to difficult gear engagement and wear on transmission bearings. The steps for changing transmission fluid are: 1. Start the engine to warm it up, allowing the transmission to reach operating temperature, then remove the drain plug to collect the old fluid; 2. After the old fluid has completely drained, open the oil pan, replace the transmission filter, reinstall the oil pan and drain plug; 3. Add new transmission fluid, start the car, and shift through all gears; 4. Check if the automatic transmission fluid level is normal and make adjustments as needed.

What tire specifications are required for the ix35?

The ix35 uses two types of tires: one is 225/60-R17, and the other is 215/70-R16. This vehicle is equipped with Kumho tires, which are domestically produced in South Korea and belong to the wear-resistant type. Information about tire specifications is as follows: 1. Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter represents the rim diameter in inches. 2. The aspect ratio refers to the ratio of the height from the rim to the tread to the maximum measured width of the tire section. 3. The wider the tire width used by a car, the better the stability of the vehicle during driving. 4. Different types of cars use different tire sizes, and the tire size used by a car must also match the vehicle's positioning. Large-sized models cannot use small-sized tires.
