New car essentials include: reverse radar, tire pressure gauge, toolkit, and phone holder. Reverse radar is a must-have device for new drivers—not only should you install a reverse camera, but a reverse radar is also essential. Tire pressure gauge: Some cars come with built-in tire pressure monitoring, while others only have a tire pressure warning system. Regular tire checks are necessary if your car lacks built-in monitoring. Toolkit: A car's toolkit is usually stored in the spare tire well in the trunk. Some new cars may not come with a fully equipped toolkit. Deodorizer: New cars often have odors. Besides ventilating by opening windows, you can also purchase activated charcoal bags or car deodorizers to improve air quality. Phone holder: Buy a holder that can be mounted in the car for convenient phone use while driving. However, using your phone while driving is not recommended, as it can distract you and pose safety risks.

What do PWR and SNOW mean in the Reiz?

The PWR in Reiz stands for Power mode (sport mode). The SNOW in Reiz refers to Snow mode. When starting or driving on slippery surfaces like snow or mud, you can switch to this mode, which automatically adjusts traction by controlling gear shifts to prevent wheel spin. Below is an introduction to the Reiz: 1. Model. The Japanese MARK-X is a sports sedan, and after being domestically produced, the MARK-X was given a resounding Chinese name—Reiz, while the German word 'Reiz,' meaning 'charm,' also appears on the rear of the car. 2. Exterior. The Reiz achieves a dynamic and elegant beauty with its optimal body proportions, combining a sporty, flowing aesthetic with the dignified luxury unique to premium sedans.

Should the clutch be pressed all the time when reversing into the garage?

No. During the reversing process, when you need to stop, you should first press the clutch, followed by the brake. If you press the brake directly, it may cause the engine to stall and the car to jerk. When starting again, first release the brake, then slowly release the clutch. Here is an extended explanation: Clutch semi-engagement: This refers to the moment when the clutch friction disc is just pressed against the flywheel as you lift the clutch pedal, and then you stop lifting the clutch, keeping it in an unstable state of partial engagement. This ensures the engine keeps running while allowing some power to be transmitted in a slipping state. Avoid prolonged semi-engagement: Generally, brief semi-engagement during reversing is not a problem. For cars, semi-engagement for less than a minute has little impact. Frequent semi-engagement in traffic jams is also acceptable, as long as there are brief intervals—it's not a big issue as long as you don't keep pressing it continuously.

Does Modifying Ambient Lighting Affect Warranty?

Modifying the original ambient lighting does not affect the warranty. Using the original factory socket is sufficient, and there is no need to alter the wiring. Pros and Cons of Ambient Lighting: Modifying the interior ambient lighting allows for customized lighting effects based on personal preferences, enhancing the driving mood during nighttime. However, altering the car's interior ambient lighting involves modifying the vehicle's internal circuits, which have specific load and voltage requirements. Incorrect modifications can lead to significant safety hazards. The brightness of ambient lighting should not be too high; it should serve as an interior decoration and visual enhancement. Excessive brightness can interfere with driving visibility. What's Covered in Car Warranty: The warranty covers core components such as the engine, transmission, powertrain, and chassis, as well as wear-and-tear parts like tires, wheels, headlights, and brakes. Car warranty refers to the manufacturer's obligation to provide free repairs or replacement of faulty parts under normal usage conditions as specified.

Does Using Fuel-Saving Mode Harm the Car?

Using fuel-saving mode does not harm the car. When the fuel-saving mode is activated, the vehicle's fuel efficiency can be significantly improved while driving in urban road conditions. Fuel-Saving Mode: Fuel-saving mode, also known as ECO mode, means that the engine consumes less fuel in this setting. The fuel-saving effect of ECO mode is more noticeable when the vehicle frequently operates in congested urban traffic conditions, but there is no difference in fuel consumption compared to normal driving when traveling on suburban or highway sections. How Fuel-Saving Mode Works: The working principle of ECO mode involves comprehensively judging and analyzing factors that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit then calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine for operation, resulting in lower fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode.
