The first maintenance of a new car can be done at any 4S store of the same brand nationwide. As long as the vehicle is within the warranty period, it can be serviced nationwide, and the maintenance records can be checked as the backend maintenance systems are interconnected. However, before the first maintenance, remember to bring the vehicle's maintenance manual or the first maintenance card. First maintenance items for a car: Car lights: Car lights include emergency signal lights, trunk lights, glove box lights, indicator lights, dashboard warning lights, and passenger compartment lights. When these lights are not working, they need to be carefully checked. Car tires: For tires, the wear condition and tire pressure need to be checked. If the tire pressure is insufficient, it should be repaired and checked at a professional car repair shop. Car oil: Engine oil is divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil, with synthetic oil further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic. Full synthetic oil is the highest grade. When changing the oil, refer to the vehicle's user manual and follow the recommended specifications. Note that the oil filter should be changed along with the oil. Mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months; synthetic oil should be changed every 8,000-10,000 kilometers or every 8 months. Condition of the car's underside: When driving on general roads, sedans have a slightly lower chassis than SUVs, so when passing over higher terrain, sedans may scrape the parts underneath the car. Therefore, after driving for a while, it's necessary to check the fuel pipes, dust covers, rubber protective parts, and the car's chassis fixation. Check areas with screws and tighten them.

How Often Should the Intake System Be Cleaned?

Generally, the intake system should be cleaned every six months or every 20,000 kilometers. Below are the correct cleaning methods for a vehicle's intake system: 1. Park the vehicle securely, open the front hood, and install protective covers on the fenders and front bumper. Start the vehicle and observe until the coolant reaches normal operating temperature, then turn off the engine. Select appropriate tools and remove the intake hose. Install the intake atomizing nozzle onto the cleaning equipment. 2. Set the cleaning equipment's switch to the off position and add the intake system cleaner to the storage tank. Place the intake atomizing nozzle at the throttle body. Connect the air source and adjust the air pressure (pressure range: 0.1-0.2 MPa). Start the vehicle, turn on the fuel cleaning equipment switch, and observe the atomizing nozzle spraying liquid in an even mist for cleaning (idle cleaning). After cleaning, turn off the fuel cleaning equipment switch, disconnect the air source, release the pressure, and restore the equipment.

How to Solve the Transmission Noise Issue in Audi A4L?

Several causes and solutions for transmission noise are as follows: 1. Bearing wear and damage When the bearing wears, its gap increases and the fitting accuracy decreases; when the bearing is damaged, it cannot operate normally, resulting in abnormal noise and even causing damage to the transmission components, leading to further faults. 2. Loose bolts on the transmission housing Vibration during use can loosen the bolts, so regular inspections are recommended. 3. Long-term lack of automatic transmission fluid replacement The automatic transmission fluid becomes thick and lacks sufficient fluidity, leading to a lack of a protective layer between components, resulting in direct friction, which exacerbates mechanical wear and causes noise. 4. Use of inferior automatic transmission fluid Transmission noise can be caused by low or deteriorated transmission fluid, improper gear meshing (either too tight or too loose), poor gear engagement, excessive bearing clearance, or loose fits between the bearing inner race and the shaft or the outer race and the transmission housing. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for immediate inspection and repair.

How Does a Car Detect Drowsy Driving?

Generally, a simple way for cars to detect drowsy driving is by calculating continuous driving time. Once it exceeds the system's preset duration, an alarm will be triggered. Below are introductions to common fatigue monitoring systems equipped in vehicles: 1. The commonly equipped fatigue monitoring system is called the "Driver Fatigue Warning System (BAWS)". It is based on the driver's physiological image response, consisting of two main modules: ECU and a camera. This system uses the driver's facial features, eye signals, head movements, etc., to infer the driver's fatigue state, then issues alerts and takes corresponding measures. It provides active and intelligent safety protection for drivers and passengers. 2. Another fatigue monitoring system equipped in some cars is called the "Fatigue Recognition System" (which records the driver's operational behavior from the start of the journey) and can determine the driver's fatigue level by identifying changes in driving operations during long trips. A decrease in the frequency of steering operations by the driver, accompanied by slight but abrupt steering actions to maintain the driving direction, is a typical sign of the driver's lack of concentration.

How to Drive a Geely Automatic Transmission Car?

Geely automatic transmission cars are very easy to drive. You just need to understand what each gear means. Since automatic transmission cars do not require the driver to shift gears manually, there's no need to worry about stalling or similar issues. Simply move the gear lever to the corresponding position and press the accelerator to drive. Extension: The Geely Binyue has the following gears: R gear; N gear; P gear; D gear; M gear. The R gear is the reverse gear, which has the same function as the R gear in a manual transmission. Shift into R gear, press the accelerator, and the car will move backward. The N gear is the neutral gear, also the same as the neutral gear in a manual transmission. The P gear is the parking gear. After parking, you need to shift into P gear. The D gear is the drive gear. Shift into D gear, press the accelerator, and the car will move forward. The driver does not need to shift gears manually as the car will shift gears automatically.

Can a car change its color?

Yes, a car's color can be changed, but not all colors are permissible. Below are the relevant regulations regarding vehicle color modifications: 1. According to the revised version of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" (Order No. 124) issued by the Ministry of Public Security: Vehicle owners are allowed to change the body color first and then complete the registration process. The traffic management department has clear time limits for registration—within ten days after the color change, the owner must bring the "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration/Record Application Form," the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID, the original "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate," the original "Motor Vehicle License," and other required documents to the vehicle management office to complete the modification registration. 2. It is explicitly stated that the body color cannot be the same as or similar to that of special-purpose vehicles: firefighting red, engineering rescue yellow, or the white-and-blue combination used for national administrative law enforcement. Vinyl wrap color changes cannot exceed one-third of the vehicle's surface area, and the body color cannot exceed three different colors.

How to Check the Car Battery Level?

Here are the methods to check the car battery level: 1. Observe through the inspection eye: green or blue indicates good condition; black or red indicates the need for charging; white indicates the battery needs replacement. 2. Test the battery voltage by connecting the starter in the car. With the engine at normal temperature, connect a voltmeter to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, unplug the fuel injector wire to prevent the engine from starting. Start the engine and let it run continuously for 5 to 10 seconds while observing the voltmeter reading. With the starter and wiring in good condition, a 12V battery voltage of 9.6V or higher indicates good battery condition; if the voltage is below the above value, it means the battery is undercharged and has insufficient power.
