The second maintenance for a car is generally performed when the new vehicle reaches 10,000 kilometers. Additional information: 1. Typically, after undergoing such extensive inspections and maintenance during the second service, the overall condition of the vehicle will noticeably enter its optimal state, ensuring the highest level of driving safety. After the second maintenance, the performance of the new car becomes essentially stable. Subsequently, based on the vehicle's condition and usage habits, minor maintenance should be done every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers, and a comprehensive check-up every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers. 2. The second-level maintenance for a car involves inspection and adjustment-centered maintenance tasks for vehicles that have traveled a certain mileage. The scope of maintenance, in addition to the tasks of the first-level maintenance, includes checking and adjusting the engine and electrical equipment, dismantling and cleaning the oil pan and oil filter, inspecting and adjusting the steering and braking mechanisms, and dismantling and cleaning the front and rear wheel hub bearings. Lubricating oil is added, tires are dismantled and inspected, and rotation is performed. The purpose is to maintain the good working performance of all parts, mechanisms, and assemblies of the vehicle, ensuring their normal operation between two second-level maintenance sessions.

I usually drive quite casually. The second maintenance is typically done after driving 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers or half a year, depending on your car model and manual specifications. After the first maintenance for a new car, when you reach this point, it's time to check and replace things like engine oil and filters. Last time, I delayed it a bit, and as a result, the engine noise increased, and fuel consumption went up a little. It cost me quite a bit to fix at the shop. The mechanic said regular maintenance can avoid major repairs and ensure the car runs more smoothly. If you often drive short distances or in heavy traffic with poor road conditions, you might need to do it a bit earlier, otherwise, parts wear out faster. Set a reminder to take your car to the 4S shop or a maintenance center, it saves you time and effort.

What does gear mean?

Gear refers to the space between spinning wheels for operation and movement; it also refers to the crossbar on vehicles or machinery. Automatic transmission vehicles have seven gear positions: P, R, N, D, S, L, and M. Below is an introduction to these gears: 1. P (Park): This gear is used for long-term parking. It is usually used in combination with the N gear. When the P gear is engaged, components like the transmission are directly locked, which also prevents the vehicle from rolling. 2. R (Reverse): This is the reverse gear. This gear is the same for both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. It is used when reversing, typically after the car has come to a complete stop. 3. N (Neutral): This is the famous neutral gear. It is often misused, with many car owners mistakenly believing that using this gear while going downhill saves fuel. This is incorrect. It is actually more suitable for short-term parking and is used in combination with the P gear for long-term parking. 4. D (Drive): This is the most commonly used forward gear. Many drivers use this gear indiscriminately regardless of road conditions, whether going uphill or downhill, which is not scientific.

What kind of silver is the Corolla silver?

Corolla silver is a metallic silver-gray color, but metallic colors are not necessarily achieved with metallic paint; they could be resin paint tinted to a metallic shade. The advantage of resin paint is its resistance to wear and scrubbing, while metallic paint is too hard—once damaged, simple polishing may not suffice, and repainting is often required. Here is more information about the Corolla: 1. Body Colors: The Corolla offers seven body colors: Super White, Silver Metallic, Gray Metallic, Black Mica, Platinum Bronze Metallic, Blue Metallic, and Red Mica Metallic. 2. Features: The key characteristics of the 10th-generation all-new COROLLA Corolla are: a significantly increased body width, achieving an innovative wide and low, dynamic, and contemporary exterior design, while also improving ride comfort. It surpasses the conventional impression of compact cars and rivals mid-size sedans. 3. Powertrain: The new COROLLA Corolla is equipped with a new engine featuring dual VVT-i across the lineup. Additionally, a new 1.6L engine variant has been introduced, complementing the 1.8L engine to form a more comprehensive product lineup.

Is the BMW 340i available in China?

The BMW 340i is already available in China. Here is some related information about BMW: 1. Brand Introduction: BMW was founded on March 7, 1916. Originally, BMW was an aircraft factory known for manufacturing streamlined biplane reconnaissance aircraft. Its predecessor was called BFW, and the company's founder was named Gustav Otto. On July 20, 1917, BFW underwent reorganization and was officially named BMW. In 1923, BMW developed its first motorcycle engine, and by the end of 1923, they began producing motorcycles in Munich under the BMW brand, with the R32 motorcycle being the first to hit the market. On July 9, 1929, BMW took out a full-page advertisement in the morning newspaper, announcing its entry into automobile manufacturing. Thus began the legend of BMW's first mass-produced car. The official Chinese name for BMW is 'Bavarian Motor Works,' a world-renowned luxury car brand headquartered in Munich, Bavaria. BMW is often referred to as 'Bimmer,' and in mainland China, Hong Kong, and early Taiwan, it is commonly called 'Bao Ma.' 2. Logo Meaning: B.M.W. stands for Bavarian Motor Works. The colors and design of the logo are derived from the coat of arms of Bavaria, where BMW is based. BMW initially started by producing aircraft engines, leading many to believe the logo represents a rotating propeller. However, this is not the case. The blue and white symmetrical pattern simply mirrors the Bavarian state emblem, symbolizing BMW's pure Bavarian heritage. Like Mercedes-Benz, BMW pursues high quality, performance, and technology in its vehicles. Although BMW's production volume is not high, it enjoys a reputation in the global automotive industry and among users that is nearly on par with Mercedes-Benz. BMW's acceleration and high-speed performance are among the best in the world, making it the preferred choice for police vehicles in many countries.

How much fuel is consumed by idling a car with the AC on for 3 hours?

When a car is idling with the air conditioning on, it consumes approximately at least 9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers per hour. In urban areas with the AC on, fuel consumption can vary around 10 liters depending on driving habits. From the perspective of car air conditioning configurations, there are mainly two types: manual and automatic. Generally, manual air conditioning systems are equipped with a fixed displacement compressor, where adjusting the air volume has no relation to the compressor. Below are some maintenance methods for car air conditioning: 1. Comprehensive AC inspection: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, it's essential to inspect the AC system, such as checking the refrigerant level via the reservoir, whether the AC filter is too dirty, or if there are any foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to AC cleaning: Some beginners only think about cleaning the AC when its performance deteriorates, which is incorrect. The AC filter should be replaced regularly. For instance, in Beijing, spring brings a lot of sand and dust, along with willow catkins, which can stick to the filter, fostering bacteria and causing a musty smell in the AC. Therefore, it's advisable to replace the filter once every year after spring.

Is the Corolla automatic or manual?

Corolla is available in both automatic and manual transmissions. The manual transmission model is mainly the Corolla 2021 1.5L Manual Pioneer Edition, while most of the other models are automatic. The differences between automatic and manual transmissions are as follows: Different levels of operational difficulty: Automatic transmission vehicles mainly rely on the hydraulic torque converter's hydraulic transmission and automatic shifting principle to perform gear changes, making it easy for beginners with little automotive knowledge to quickly master, and it requires less effort. Manual transmissions primarily rely on the driver's physical effort to press the clutch and shift gears, making the operation more cumbersome and requiring the driver to have higher driving skills, thus demanding more effort. Different safety performance: Manual transmissions can lead to risks such as understeer and drifting when coasting in neutral. Additionally, if the engine stalls at idle, the vehicle may lose power steering and brake pedal assistance, increasing safety hazards during driving. Automatic transmission vehicles cannot coast in neutral, maintaining power support throughout the entire journey, making driving safer.
