The cigarette lighter fuse in the Lincoln MKC is located on the right side of the luggage compartment. Open the knob, pull down the fuse box cover, and refer to the paper diagram on the back of the cover to locate it. The Lincoln MKC is a compact SUV with the following body dimensions: length 4552mm, width 1864mm, height 1657mm, wheelbase 2690mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 59.4 liters. The Lincoln MKC is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 149kW and a maximum torque of 381Nm.

I recently encountered a cigarette lighter issue while helping a friend repair his Lincoln MKC, and it took quite some effort to locate the fuse. The cigarette lighter fuse is usually hidden in the fuse box. In the Lincoln MKC, it's typically located on the driver's side, under the left footrest area, with a small black cover that can be lifted to reveal it. The exact position is usually marked in the vehicle manual or on the diagram on the fuse box cover, possibly labeled as CIG or Fuse 23, with a 15-amp rating. If the cigarette lighter isn't working, first turn off the ignition and power to avoid electric shock. Then, open the cover and look for the diagram—the fuse labeled with the cigarette lighter symbol is the one you need. If it's blown, buy a new one of the same specification and replace it. Avoid using a fuse with a higher amp rating, as it could cause a fire. For safety, wear gloves when handling. If you're unsure about the location, searching online for an MKC fuse diagram can provide a reference. After a few years of driving, wiring can deteriorate, making fuses more prone to blowing, so regular checks are best to prevent issues.

What are the new regulations for vehicle annual inspection?

New regulations for vehicle annual inspection: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and mini buses with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years are included in the exemption range; for non-operational small and mini buses (excluding minivans) over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars only need to undergo on-site inspection twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Contents of annual inspection: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety performances comply with the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or transformed, whether the driving license, license plate, and all registrations in the vehicle file match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether approval and change procedures have been completed; Check whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or unclear, and whether they need to be replaced; For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the maximum seating capacity in the cab are printed in imitation Song typeface on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the rear tailgate of trailers) is printed with the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and for individual or joint-venture vehicles, whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door; the characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special circumstances require approval from the vehicle management office).

Does the ETC Reader Need to Be Charged?

There are two types of ETC devices: solar-powered and rechargeable. The solar-powered ETC does not require charging as it uses its own power source. The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but it does not need regular charging because it has a built-in solar panel on the back that charges itself. During installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield. The other type requires charging, and if it is not used frequently, it is recommended to charge it every two to three months. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent must also provide their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. For company vehicles, the required documents include: A letter of introduction from the vehicle owner (with company seal); a photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); the agent's original ID card; the original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle for which ETC is being applied. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping. Reduces wear and tear: Lowers costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy toll discounts. Improves efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more advanced. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. Here are some installation precautions for ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror. Many car models have windshields with a steep angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing ETC without considering this can increase blind spots. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid blocking the view. Does not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that charges itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed on the windshield, the anti-tamper lever is pressed in. If removed, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This feature prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

Is it okay to stall the car while in drive mode?

Occasionally stalling the car in drive mode has no significant impact, but it should not be done frequently as it can increase wear and tear on the transmission. Reasons for car stalling: Automatic transmission models are less likely to stall easily, whereas manual transmission models may stall more often due to lower driving proficiency. However, it's not impossible for automatic transmission cars to stall, mainly due to the use of low-quality fuel leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling. Precautions for car stalling: It is best to refuel at reputable, larger gas stations with higher-grade gasoline. Although more expensive, the fuel quality is better.

What is the classification of diesel engine oil?

Diesel engine oil grades are roughly divided into: CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF4, CG4, CH4, CI4, CJ4. Here is more information about diesel engine oil grades: 1. Different models of diesel engine oil indicate different oil grades and corresponding applicable vehicle models. In other words, the further back the letters are arranged, the higher the oil quality grade. 2. The English letter C at the beginning represents diesel engine oil. The further back the letters are arranged, the higher the oil quality grade. Generally, CD-grade oil is sufficient for ordinary diesel engines. Turbocharged diesel engines require higher oil quality, such as CF4, where 4 indicates that the oil is suitable for four-stroke diesel engines.

What Causes Frequent Tire Pressure Alarms?

The reasons for frequent tire pressure alarms are: 1. Tire replacement without resetting the tire pressure module; 2. Nail punctures causing tire pressure changes; 3. Tire inflation without resetting the tire pressure monitoring system; 4. Prolonged vehicle inactivity leading to tire pressure drop without inflation. Below are the functions of tire pressure monitoring: 1. Immediate alarm when rapid or slow air leakage occurs due to tire puncture. 2. Warning when tire loosening causes uneven friction, raising tire temperature to 70°C to prevent blowouts. 3. Alert when prolonged lack of inflation causes tire pressure to fall below the vehicle's set limit, preventing low-pressure-induced temperature rise and blowouts.

What does the maximum engine power in kW mean?

Engine maximum power refers to the maximum power output that an engine can achieve. Engine output and speed: Engine output is directly related to speed. Initially, the engine's output power increases as the speed rises. However, once the output reaches its maximum value, the power output will decrease as the engine speed continues to increase. Precautions for using the engine: The engine speed at maximum power for cars or buses is higher than that of trucks to meet the needs of high-speed driving. When the engine's maximum power drops by more than 25% compared to the standard, a major overhaul should be performed.
