The items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's registration certificate; vehicle's purchase invoice. Take these to the designated first maintenance institution for the vehicle's first maintenance. Note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial maintenance after the new car is driven, and the specific time varies from car to car, usually after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks that the running-in period of the car is now over, and it can be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time for the first car insurance is calculated according to the date of picking up the car. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first is the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil, oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking whether various oil levels are normal, checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged, checking whether the tire pressure is normal, checking whether the tires are damaged, bulging, etc. Necessary time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important thing for the first maintenance of a new car is to change the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter element must be replaced together. When choosing engine oil, you must refer to the "Vehicle Use and Maintenance Manual", as different models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the inside of the car body with water: Many people will tidy up and clean the car by themselves during holidays, washing the body with water and scrubbing with a cloth. Here, it needs to be reminded that the inside of the car body does not need to be washed directly with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner, or take them out, brush and wash them with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many through holes in the grooves under the rubber mats on the floor of the cab. After water enters, it will not dry by wind, but will flow through the through holes to the gearbox and other parts for erosion and corrosion. The good practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then scrub with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is in short supply, it is recommended that you drain the antifreeze as soon as possible and add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Because the brands of antifreeze are different, their chemical functions are also very different. Various functional preservatives will corrode other functional preservatives. Different brands of antifreeze use different preservatives. Do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate the tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts of a running car are rusty, they are usually oiled so that they can work normally again. In order to prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to the bolts and nuts, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is running at high speed, the bolts and nuts are simply lifted or even dropped, causing driving failure. When promoting the EFI car, there is no need to step on the accelerator: The promoter of the EFI car is different from that of ordinary cars. Its fuel injection control device can actively adjust the fuel supply according to the temperature and working conditions of the promoter, making the promoter smoothly promoted.

What is the fuel consumption of the Beidou Star x5?

1.0 displacement is about 6L per 100 kilometers, and 1.4 displacement is about 6.4L per 100 kilometers. The following are the factors that affect fuel consumption: 1. Whether the air conditioning is used; 2. Driving conditions, the most fuel-efficient when driving at a constant speed and economic RPM; 3. Vehicle weight, the lighter the more fuel-efficient; 4. Electricity consumption, the more electricity used, the greater the magnetic resistance of the generator; 5. Driving habits; 6. Engine temperature, the best is around 70 degrees. When too low, the viscosity of the engine oil is high, and lubrication is poor. When too high, the adhesion of the engine oil is poor, the lubrication degree decreases, and the cooling fan consumes electricity and then fuel; 7. Engine oil performance; 8. Tire resistance, wide tires have greater resistance, and resistance also increases when the tire is underinflated; 9. Aerodynamics of the vehicle design; 10. Vehicle age.

Does Maybach have an SUV?

Maybach does have an SUV. The new vehicle is based on the latest GLS model, featuring Maybach's signature vertical multi-bar grille design. The current camouflaged prototype uses a black finish, but the production version is expected to adopt silver chrome accents. The Maybach GLS is more elongated than the standard GLS. Here are more details: Side profile: The Maybach GLS appears more stretched than the regular GLS, with increased dimensions (specific data remains unknown), primarily through extended wheelbase to ensure ample rear legroom for executives. Design elements: The Maybach GLS features notably wider tires for a commanding visual presence, and will adopt the highly popular two-tone body paint scheme, with color options similar to the Maybach S-Class. Powertrain: The base model will be equipped with a 4.0L V8 biturbo engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. The high-end variant may potentially feature a V12 engine, though official confirmation awaits the model's launch. The vehicle will offer a 4-seat configuration.

How to Focus on Reference Points for Straight-Line Driving in Subject 3?

To maintain straight-line driving, the driver must clearly observe the road conditions ahead. The higher the speed, the farther the driver needs to look ahead, so as to take immediate action when detecting pedestrians or vehicles within the safe visual range. Key points for straight-line driving: 1. Look far ahead: To keep the vehicle moving straight, it's essential to train your eyes to focus on distant objects, which helps prevent the vehicle from deviating from its path. 2. Three-point alignment: Choose a suitable reference point that works for you and align a prominent part of the vehicle with it. If any deviation occurs, make timely adjustments. 3. Control speed: Straight-line driving also has speed requirements, and you must reach the specified speed to pass. 4. Steady steering: Regardless of speed, always make minor corrections to the steering, adjusting slightly and returning the wheel appropriately. Note that keeping the steering wheel fixed doesn't guarantee straight-line driving; instead, the vehicle should maintain equal distance from the lane dividers on both sides. 5. Stay calm: Excessive tension can stiffen your muscles, leading to rigid and unnatural movements. Therefore, it's crucial to relax your body to maintain focus.

How to Replace Coolant in Kia K2?

The coolant replacement steps are as follows: 1. Conduct a comprehensive inspection to check for cracks and leakage signs in the pipelines, with special attention to the five-way pipe. Coolant must flow through the five-way pipe before being distributed to different parts of the car to function. 2. Drain the old coolant and flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continuously inject water into the reservoir to allow it to circulate through the engine cooling system. Let the engine idle for 3 to 5 minutes to facilitate water circulation. Initially, the water flowing out from the reservoir will be light pink. Continue injecting clean water until the outflowing water runs clear. Be sure to remove the heater hose and drain all water from the heater core. 3. Allow the new coolant to flow quickly into the radiator. After draining for 1 hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose. Add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the car and let it run for 10 minutes. As the cooling system expels some air, the coolant level will drop. Add more coolant until the level is between the MAX (maximum) and MIN (minimum) marks.

How often should the spark plugs be replaced in a Volkswagen 1.4T vehicle?

Volkswagen 1.4T spark plugs should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Additional information is as follows: How spark plugs work: Spark plugs consist of an insulator and a metal shell. The metal shell is threaded and screwed into the engine cylinder. Inside the metal shell, there is a central electrode insulated from the shell by insulating material. The top of the central electrode has a terminal nut connected to the high-voltage wire from the distributor. A ground electrode is welded below the metal shell, with a small gap between the central and ground electrodes. A pulsed high voltage arcs across this gap, creating a spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture to perform work. Methods for cleaning carbon deposits from spark plugs: Carburetor cleaner: Place an appropriate amount of carburetor cleaner in a container and soak the spark plug for about 30 minutes. Then, gently scrub the spark plug's tip with a soft-bristled brush to remove carbon deposits. White vinegar cleaning: This method is similar to using carburetor cleaner but is simpler and more practical. However, white vinegar should not be used frequently as its corrosive properties can affect the spark plug. After removing carbon deposits, ensure any residual vinegar is thoroughly cleaned off.
