New car odometer readings within 0-50 kilometers are considered normal. Below are the relevant details: 1. After assembly on the production line, a new car's odometer displays 0 kilometers. However, once it leaves the assembly line, the vehicle undergoes movement by staff, centralized placement by the manufacturer, and transportation to dealerships. The odometer records all movements during these processes. Since transportation conditions vary, odometer readings may differ, but any display within 0 to 50 kilometers is considered normal. 2. Mileage is not the sole criterion for inspecting a new car. Upon delivery, you can request staff to open the engine cover and verify the production date. A smaller gap between production and delivery dates indicates less movement.

Which is more focused, xenon lights or LED lights?

Xenon lights are more focused. Below is some related information: 1. Xenon lights: These are high-pressure gas discharge lamps filled with a mixture of inert gases, including xenon, and do not have the filament found in halogen lamps. They are also known as HID (High-Intensity Discharge) xenon lights or metal halide lamps. The principle of light emission involves a starter and electronic ballast to increase the voltage to over 23,000V, which ionizes the xenon gas, creating an arc between two electrodes that produces light. Xenon lights are categorized into automotive xenon lights and outdoor lighting xenon lights. 2. LED lights: These are solid-state semiconductor devices that can convert electrical energy into visible light. They directly transform electrical energy into light. The core of an LED is a semiconductor chip, with one end attached to a support (the negative electrode) and the other connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. The entire chip is encapsulated in epoxy resin.

What to Do if a Nail is Stuck in the Tire?

If a nail is stuck in the tire while driving and there is no air leakage, it is recommended not to remove the nail yourself. Instead, drive the car to a professional tire shop where trained staff can remove the nail and inspect the puncture. Since the tire is in a rolling state while driving, the nail may not be vertically inserted into the tire. If removed without timely repair, it may damage the tire sidewall and rim, potentially making the tire irreparable. Here are some guidelines on whether a tire can be repaired: 1. Damage to the tire sidewall cannot be repaired. 2. A puncture hole in the tread exceeding 6 mm in diameter cannot be repaired. 3. Other irreparable damages include bead damage or deformation, tread deformation, rubber corrosion by chemicals, or damage caused by driving with insufficient tire pressure.

How Long Does the Battery of the 2018 Sagitar Last?

The battery of the 2018 Sagitar typically lasts around 2-3 years. The following factors affect battery lifespan: 1. Deep Discharge: The molar volume of lead sulfate is larger than that of lead oxide, and the volume of active material expands during discharge. When one mole of lead oxide is converted to one mole of lead sulfate, the volume increases by 95%. The bonding between lead dioxide molecules is inherently weak, and as the active material on the positive electrode expands during discharge, lead dioxide particles gradually loosen. In cases of deep discharge, the volume expansion is even greater, making the active material more prone to detachment. 2. Overcharging: During battery charging, water is electrolyzed into oxygen and hydrogen. Severe overcharging leads to the release of large amounts of oxygen. Due to oxygen's strong oxidizing properties, the released oxygen can corrode the electrode plates, causing the active material to detach and reducing the battery's lifespan.

What Does Steering Wheel Free Play Mean?

Steering wheel free play refers to the angle the steering wheel can turn when the car is moving straight, to eliminate gaps and overcome elastic deformation. Below is an extended introduction about steering wheel free play: 1. Definition: During driving, the angle the steering wheel can turn to the left or right without causing the steering wheels to deviate. 2. Requirements: (1) It should not be too large. Steering wheel free play is beneficial for easing road impact, making the driver's operation smoother, and preventing the driver from excessive tension. However, it should not be too large to avoid excessively affecting steering sensitivity and causing steering wobble. (2) Proper adjustment. The free play of the steering wheel from the middle position corresponding to the car's straight-line movement in any direction should not exceed 10°~15°. When it exceeds 25°~30°, adjustment must be made.

What is the applicable range of 5w30 engine oil?

5w30 engine oil is suitable for temperature environments above -30 degrees Celsius. The 'W' stands for winter, indicating its use in cold conditions. The number before the 'W' (0 in this case) represents the oil's viscosity at low temperatures - the smaller the number, the better the fluidity and cold resistance. The number '20' indicates the viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius - the higher this number, the greater the viscosity and high-temperature resistance. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, plays vital roles in engines including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, wear reduction, vibration damping, and rust/corrosion prevention. It's often referred to as the 'blood' of automobiles. Currently, there are three main types of engine oil on the market: conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil.
