Not going to a 4S shop for maintenance does not affect the three guarantees. As long as the first maintenance of a new car is done at a 4S shop, subsequent maintenance can be performed elsewhere without losing the three guarantees. However, if a new car owner fails to have the first maintenance done at the designated 4S shop or manufacturer-authorized service station within the specified mileage, and the car develops issues, even within the warranty period, the owner may have to bear certain repair costs. Below is relevant information: 1. During the warranty period: During the car's warranty period, as long as the fault or part damage occurs under normal usage conditions as specified, the manufacturer will provide free repair or replacement of corresponding parts. 3. Three guarantees policy: The car three guarantees policy is a retail business practice where the seller provides 'repair, replacement, and refund' guarantees for sold products.

Where is the car carburetor located?

The car carburetor is located between the intake pipe and the air filter. The function of the carburetor is to utilize the kinetic energy of the incoming airflow to atomize gasoline. The carburetor automatically adjusts the mixture ratio according to the engine's different working states, delivering the corresponding amount of air-fuel mixture. To ensure a well-mixed and uniform mixture, the carburetor also has the effect of atomizing the fuel for smooth engine operation. The method for adjusting the carburetor mixture ratio is as follows: 1. When adjusting the needle valve, do so at full throttle, but be careful not to exceed 5 seconds at high RPM to avoid engine damage due to excessive speed. The adjustment interval should be 5 to 10 seconds. 2. Turn the needle valve counterclockwise and observe if the RPM decreases. If the RPM continues to rise, keep turning counterclockwise until the turning point where the RPM starts to drop. 3. Continue adjusting the needle valve counterclockwise to reach the desired RPM range.

What does the auto switch mean?

auto switch in cars is commonly found in air conditioning systems, windows, and auto start-stop systems: 1. auto on air conditioning: pressing the switch allows the air conditioning system to automatically adjust its temperature and fan speed according to environmental changes; 2. auto on windows: once activated, pressing the window button once will automatically close or open the window without the need to hold the button; 3. auto in start-stop systems: enabling this function allows the car to automatically shut off the engine during brief stops to reduce fuel consumption. Engine auto start-stop automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving.

What is the normal engine RPM when starting a car?

When starting a car under normal temperature conditions, the engine RPM will typically exceed 1000 revolutions per minute (rpm), stabilizing to an idle speed between 600 and 1000 rpm after warm-up. During a cold start, the initial RPM is usually at least 1200 rpm or higher, gradually decreasing as the engine warms up until it reaches the stable idle range. There are no absolute values, but there is a fixed range for normal operation. If the idle speed exceeds this range - for instance, if the RPM approaches 2000 when starting the vehicle and takes more than 10 seconds to decrease - this indicates an abnormal condition. Higher engine RPM means more work is done per unit time, resulting in greater power output. However, excessively high RPM accelerates the entire combustion cycle, causing fuel to be expelled before complete combustion occurs, which can lead to a several-fold increase in fuel consumption. Therefore, higher RPM doesn't always mean better performance.

What does 'res' mean on a car?

res is the resume button for the cruise control system, which restores the set speed. It has two functions: one is to accelerate after setting the cruise control, and the other is to press res to restore the previously set speed after temporarily canceling the cruise control. In the cruise control system, res is located on the control handle and serves as the resume button. Pressing this button cancels the previous setting and starts a new one. It also acts as a reset button or a machine restart key. When there is an issue with the navigation, pressing the restart key can restore the original settings. During cruising, pressing the res button increases the speed by 1.6 km/h each time. Holding the res button during cruising will continuously increase the vehicle speed. Pressing the cancel button during cruising will temporarily stop the cruise control, and pressing the res button again will cause the car to accelerate rapidly to the previous cruising speed. Although cruise control is convenient, it is best not to use it while driving. First, in rainy or snowy weather, the road surface is prone to slipping, and it can be somewhat difficult to operate. Second, if there are many vehicles on the road, it is also not advisable to use cruise control, as it can lead to a poor driving experience and increase the risk of rear-end collisions. Finally, if the road has many mountain passes or sharp curves, it is best to avoid using cruise control.

What is the Difference Between Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive and On-Demand Four-Wheel Drive?

The differences between full-time four-wheel drive and on-demand four-wheel drive are: 1. Wheels: In full-time four-wheel drive, all wheels move independently during driving; on-demand four-wheel drive only engages all four wheels when appropriate. 2. Vehicle Models: Full-time four-wheel drive is featured in models such as Volkswagen 4MOTION, Audi quattro, and Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC; on-demand four-wheel drive is found in models like Renault Koleos, Kia Sportage, and Jeep Compass. 3. Differentials: Full-time four-wheel drive uses a connected central differential, while on-demand four-wheel drive employs a simpler viscous coupling central differential.
