Here is the maintenance required for a car at 25,000 kilometers: 1. Oil change: Replace the engine oil (lubricant) and oil filter: This must be done every 5,000 kilometers or six months. If using full synthetic oil, it can be changed up to every 8,000 kilometers. 2. Replace the air filter: Replace the air filter and cabin air filter: The air filter and cabin air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or two years. 3. Replace the fuel filter: Replace the fuel filter, brake fluid, and transmission fluid: For automatic transmission models, the transmission fluid also needs to be replaced; for rear-wheel-drive cars, the differential oil should also be replaced. 4. Tires: Tires older than four years may need replacement. Brake rotors can be replaced if the brake pads have been changed three times. 5. Battery: The car battery should normally be replaced every two years. Even if the car hasn't been driven 40,000 kilometers in two years, the battery should still be checked for power loss.

What are the body dimensions of the new Focus sedan?

The length, width, and height of the new Focus sedan model are 4647mm, 1810mm, and 1468mm respectively, which are official data. The length of the new Focus sedan model refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle support plane. The new Focus sedan model is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, with a maximum horsepower of 177, and the transmission system is matched with a 6-speed manual and an 8-speed automatic transmission. There are relevant national regulations regarding the dimensions of vehicles. According to the national standard "GB1589-89", the total width of the vehicle does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in the national standard is to ensure sufficient space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.

Should BYD Song Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle user manual recommendation, the BYD Song should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle user manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. Even engines with high compression ratios can be tuned to use lower octane gasoline. This is because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the BYD Song occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance in practice. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane value is significantly lower, the reduced ignition point of the gasoline may cause premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance can make the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it may only increase noise without obvious damage to the engine. However, if noticeable knocking occurs, it indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

What does the ECON button next to the car air conditioner mean?

The ECON mode in a car's air conditioning system is essentially an energy-saving mode, which only takes effect when the air conditioner's cooling function is activated. Since the air conditioning compressor is driven by the engine and can consume up to 20% of the engine's power, enabling the ECON mode reduces the air conditioner's power consumption while maintaining its cooling performance, thereby improving fuel efficiency. Activating the air conditioner's economy mode is straightforward. After turning on the air conditioner, simply press the "ECON" button to enable it. When the button's light is on, the cooling system is turned off, and only natural or warm air is circulated. Here’s an introduction to the car air conditioner's ECON mode: Typically, the A/C button on a car's air conditioner indicates whether the air conditioning is on or off, while the ECON mode only functions when the cooling system is active, representing the air conditioner's economy mode. In this mode, the compressor still operates, but compared to the normal mode, the control point for the compressor is higher. The compressor does not remain continuously engaged; instead, its start and stop are controlled by the evaporator temperature. In normal mode, the compressor starts and stops between 2~4°C. In ECON mode, this range shifts to 8~10°C. Lower temperatures require the compressor to work longer and harder. By activating the ECON mode, the engine's power output is conserved, leading to fuel savings. Functions of the car air conditioner: Utilizes the continuous phase change cycle of refrigerant to achieve cooling effects. Removes dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the car's interior, freshening the air and increasing relative humidity. Uses engine coolant, waste heat, or heat generated by a burner as a heating source. The heater warms the air, which is then blown into the cabin by the blower to raise the outlet air temperature for heating purposes. Draws in fresh outside air for ventilation and air exchange, also helping to prevent windshield fogging. Precautions for using the car air conditioner: Avoid setting the air conditioner temperature too low. A significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car can easily cause the driver to catch a cold, and excessively low temperatures may increase the risk of arthritis for passengers. Adjust the air vent direction. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and warm air rises, set the vents upward when cooling and downward when heating. Do not turn on the air conditioner immediately after the car has been exposed to the sun. After prolonged sun exposure, the interior temperature becomes very high. First, open the windows to ventilate and allow the hot air to escape before turning on the air conditioner.
