The first maintenance should be done as written in the car's user manual. Normally, a new car needs its first maintenance after driving 5,000 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. The first maintenance is the car's initial service, which only requires changing the engine oil and oil filter, followed by some routine inspections. When the car is manufactured, the car manufacturer adds initial engine oil, which is more suitable for the break-in period. After the break-in period, this oil should be drained and replaced with regular engine oil. Engine oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat in the engine.

What is the reason for the fluctuating temperature gauge in the Volkswagen Magotan?

Reasons for the fluctuating temperature gauge in the Volkswagen Magotan are as follows: Dirty contact surface: The contact surface between the temperature sensor and the coolant is dirty, or the thermistor has aged. Short circuit in the heating coil: The voltage regulator is malfunctioning, or the heating coil of the temperature gauge has a short circuit. Unstable sensor: An unstable thermostat sensor, which turns on and off intermittently, can cause the temperature gauge to fluctuate. Solutions for the fluctuating temperature gauge in the Volkswagen Magotan are as follows: Stop driving: When abnormal phenomena such as the temperature gauge alarm occur, it is recommended to stop driving immediately. Allow the car to rest for a while and then have it inspected at a professional repair station to prevent other engine components from being damaged due to high temperatures. Restart the engine: Driving speed affects heat dissipation, and traffic congestion can also cause the temperature to rise. Normally, the temperature gauge should fluctuate between one notch below the midline to one and a half notches above the midline. If the temperature suddenly rises to the red line occasionally, it is abnormal. In such cases, stop the car, turn off the engine, and restart it to restore normal operation.

How Many Kilometers Can You Drive When the Fuel Light Comes On?

Depending on the engine displacement and fuel tank size, there is generally 5-10 liters of fuel remaining when the fuel light comes on. Based on the vehicle's fuel consumption, you can roughly calculate a reference value. When the fuel gauge light illuminates, the car can typically drive approximately 58-117 kilometers. This may vary slightly for different vehicle models. To determine the exact remaining fuel when the light comes on, you can refer to the car's user manual. For example, Volkswagen's manual states there are 7L of fuel left after the light comes on, while Toyota's manual indicates 9L remaining. You can also estimate it yourself: when the fuel light turns on, go to a gas station and fill up until the pump automatically stops. Note how many liters were added, then subtract this amount from the manufacturer's specified total fuel tank capacity to find out the remaining fuel. Combining this with your vehicle's fuel consumption will give you a more accurate kilometer estimate. According to China's urban road planning, the service radius of urban gas stations is 0.9 to 1.2 kilometers, meaning the maximum straight-line distance between two stations is 2.4 kilometers. On highways, there is a service area approximately every 57 kilometers on average. Therefore, if the fuel light comes on and you can't refuel immediately, there's no need to panic—unless you're in a remote area, the remaining fuel should be sufficient to reach the next gas station. These are just theoretical distances; actual mileage will depend on driving conditions and habits.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in a Mercedes-Benz?

To turn off the auto start-stop function in a Mercedes-Benz, press and hold the auto start-stop switch. The working principle of the auto start-stop system is as follows: when you brake to a stop and shift into neutral, the system automatically detects that the engine is idling and no gear is engaged, the speed sensor shows zero, and the battery sensor indicates sufficient energy. The engine then automatically stops. When you depress the clutch, release the brake, or turn the steering wheel, the system quickly restarts the engine. Taking the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5290 mm, width 1921 mm, height 1503 mm, wheelbase 3216 mm, and fuel tank capacity 76 liters.
