A deformed cabin air filter can still be used. The cabin air filter is installed in the car's air conditioning system to absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. Here is additional information: 1. Replacement Cycle: For general urban household cars, it is recommended to replace the filter every six months or once a year. If the usual driving routes are dusty, more dust will enter the car, making the air conditioning system dirty and requiring earlier replacement. The frequency of air conditioning use varies with different seasons. After a period of use, the activated carbon filtration function in the cabin air filter will diminish. 2. Precautions: (1) If the airflow from the air conditioner significantly decreases, the cabin air filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter, or replace it if necessary. (2) The cleaning frequency depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.). It is advisable to clean it earlier. (3) The cabin air filter should be correctly installed in its position. Using the air conditioner without the filter may degrade its dustproof performance and affect the air conditioning performance.

The first maintenance items include changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking the levels of various fluids to ensure they are normal, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for any damage, checking the tire pressure, and examining the chassis and all switches in the vehicle. Before the first maintenance, please note the following points: 1. Make an appointment with the 4S store in advance; otherwise, you may encounter situations where there are no available service bays or long waiting times. 2. Bring essential items such as the maintenance manual and vehicle registration when going for the first maintenance. If unsure, be sure to ask for clarification when making the appointment. 3. Record any faults or questions encountered during daily driving and inform the staff during the first maintenance registration, so the technician can check all issues during the first maintenance.

What gear should be used for climbing slopes in underground garages?

Gears for climbing slopes in underground garages: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, use 1st gear when climbing garage slopes; 2. For automatic transmission vehicles, use L gear if available, otherwise use manual mode. When climbing slopes, both the driving resistance and the backward gravitational force on the vehicle are relatively large. Lower gears provide greater torque output to the drive wheels, and when the torque reaches a sufficient level, it can be converted into strong thrust and traction, reducing the burden on the engine. The L gear is also a low-speed gear, which restricts the vehicle to low gears, preventing the transmission from frequently shifting up or down automatically. This allows the vehicle to reduce speed and increase torque, making it commonly used when climbing slopes.

What Are the Symptoms of Low Refrigerant in a Car?

Symptoms of low refrigerant in a car include insufficient air conditioning power and frosting of liquid pipe valves, among others. The specific manifestations are as follows: 1. Reduced Cooling Efficiency: When the air conditioner lacks refrigerant, it operates with insufficient power, leading to decreased cooling performance. The extent of the reduction depends on the amount of refrigerant missing. 2. Frosting of Liquid Pipe Valve: Frosting on the liquid pipe valve indicates a severe refrigerant shortage. If only the gas pipe valve frosts, it suggests a slight refrigerant shortage or excessively low ambient temperature. Frosting on both valves indicates a secondary throttling phenomenon in the system. 3. Oil Stains on Outdoor Unit Gas and Liquid Valves: The presence of oil stains on the outdoor unit's gas and liquid valves occurs because refrigerant and refrigeration oil are somewhat miscible. When refrigerant leaks from a point, oil stains adhere near the leak.

How to remove the ABS light?

ABS light removal methods are: 1. Go to a repair shop and use a computer to clear it; 2. Locate the car's battery, remove the negative terminal, wait a few minutes, and then reconnect it. ABS is the Anti-lock Braking System in a car, which automatically controls the braking force during braking to prevent wheel lock-up, effectively keeping the wheels rotating and improving the car's stability during braking and braking performance on poor road conditions. The functions of the ABS system are: 1. Maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, shortening braking time and distance; 2. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; 3. Allow steering during emergency braking, ensuring good steering control; 4. Avoid severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.

How to Remove Paint Sprayed on a Car

Paint sprayed on a car can be wiped off with a car cleaning cloth. Below are some related car paint maintenance methods: 1. Car Waxing: Waxing is the simplest and most affordable method of car paint maintenance. If you have a limited budget but still want to take good care of your car, waxing is a good option. 2. Car Glazing: This method lasts longer, typically around six months, and provides a better gloss than waxing. 3. Car Coating: This paint maintenance method is very effective, leaving the car looking bright and new after application. 4. Car Crystal Coating: This is currently the most advanced method of car paint maintenance, requiring a certain level of financial capability, and can maintain its effect for 2-3 years.
