It is best to use a specialized car wash detergent for new cars. Dedicated car wash liquids are neutral cleaners that are gentle on both hands and paint, primarily composed of natural plant-derived surfactants. Precautions for car washing: After high-speed driving or prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, the surface temperature of the car paint becomes very high. If cold water is used to rinse at this time, the paint surface may be damaged, and in severe cases, it could lead to cracking. Frequency of car washing: There is no need to wash the car too frequently. Generally, washing the car once every 7-10 days is sufficient, as frequent washing can accelerate paint oxidation. However, this is not absolute. If the car body is contaminated with mud, rainwater, bird droppings, etc., the owner should clean the vehicle as soon as possible to prevent corrosion of the paint.

How to Bleed Air from Car Brake Fluid?

When bleeding air from car brake fluid, the sequence should follow the principle of 'from far to near', performing the bleeding operation on each wheel cylinder in the order of right rear wheel, left rear wheel, right front wheel, and left front wheel. The method for bleeding air from car brake fluid is as follows: 1. The air bleeding operation requires two people to cooperate. One person continuously presses the brake pedal inside the vehicle to raise the pedal position and holds it steady without loosening. 2. The other person loosens the bleeder valve to allow air and brake fluid in the pipeline to be discharged together. When the pedal position lowers, immediately tighten the bleeder valve. 3. Repeat this process several times until no air bubbles are discharged from the plastic tube. 4. Tighten the bleeder valve and install the dust cover, then proceed to bleed air from the other wheel cylinders in sequence. 5. During the bleeding process, check and replenish the brake fluid while discharging air until all air is completely expelled. Then, add an adequate amount of the specified type of brake fluid to the reservoir. Below are the precautions for bleeding air from car brake fluid: 1. After performing the air bleeding operation or checking and replenishing the brake fluid, ensure the reservoir cap is tightened to minimize the time the brake fluid is exposed to air, preventing it from absorbing moisture and reducing its performance. 2. When replenishing brake fluid, the amount should not exceed the upper limit (MAX or HIGH) mark. 3. Brake fluid should not be mixed with other brands of brake fluid.

Where are the drainage holes located on the BYD S7?

BYD S7's drainage holes are distributed in locations such as the fuel tank cap, engine compartment, door panels, sunroof, and more. Below are the specific details: 1. Sunroof drainage hole: The initial clogging of the sunroof drainage hole usually occurs at the entrance, which can be seen by opening the sunroof and is relatively easy to clean. 2. Engine compartment drainage hole: Since the engine compartment is very close to the air conditioning intake, bacteria can easily grow in the stuffy compartment and affect the air quality inside the car through the air filter. In severe cases, water may flow into the car through the air conditioning intake, causing floor water accumulation. 3. Door drainage hole: Due to the low position of the door drainage hole, vehicles driving on muddy roads for a long time can easily have the drainage hole blocked by mud. 4. Fuel tank cap drainage hole: Since the vehicle is used outdoors, sand and dust can accumulate around the fuel tank cap through its gaps. If this drainage hole is blocked, water may enter the fuel tank during car washing or rainy weather, leading to fuel tank damage. 5. Air conditioning drainage hole: The car's air conditioning produces condensate during cooling, and the condensate pipe is located under the chassis. During the rainy season, mud and water accumulation can also block the drainage hole, with consequences similar to the engine compartment drainage hole blockage—water may flow back into the car, causing floor water accumulation. 6. Trunk drainage hole: The spare tire area in the trunk is one of the lower parts of the car body. If the vehicle wades through deep water or water seeps through the gaps in the lights, it will flow to this position inside the car body.
