You can go to the 4S store for a free inspection when the warranty period is about to expire. Reasons for providing the service: To make car owners feel that the service of the 4S store is still good, increase their trust in it, and continue to maintain their cars there. If any quality problems are detected, they will be replaced for free. The 4S store also makes a profit because the cost is paid by the manufacturer. If some problems are detected that require the owner to pay, such as suggesting the owner to clean the throttle valve, fuel system, or replace various fluids, etc. Depends on the situation: As long as it is free to replace, it can be replaced, because if the 4S store is willing to replace it, there must be a real problem. For all maintenance and cleaning items that require payment, it depends on the situation. You can check the maintenance manual to see if it is really time to replace them.

Is Flooring the Gas Pedal Harmful to the Car?

Flooring the gas pedal is very harmful to the car. It is not recommended for drivers to use this technique, as it not only compromises driving safety but also damages the car's engine and transmission, leading to increased fuel consumption. Negative effects of flooring the gas pedal: Incomplete combustion: Frequent use of flooring the gas pedal can worsen engine carbon buildup; Engine wear: At high RPMs and under heavy loads, if the engine oil has poor characteristics, internal engine wear increases, potentially causing mechanical damage such as cylinder scoring; Damage to the drivetrain: Besides harming the engine, flooring the gas pedal can also damage the drivetrain, especially in automatic transmission models. Shifting gears at high speeds generates significant impact forces that the clutch or torque converter must absorb. Although these components are designed to withstand impacts, excessive wear shortens their lifespan, increasing maintenance costs. Fuel-saving driving tips: Control RPM: The engine's RPM directly affects fuel consumption during driving. For typical household fuel-injected cars, the optimal RPM range is around 2200-2500. Excessively high RPMs can damage the engine; Maintain speed: Keeping the vehicle within its economical speed range can improve fuel efficiency; Control shift RPM and gear selection: When driving a manual transmission car, it's important to flexibly manage gear shifts. During gear changes, slightly increase the throttle to raise the engine RPM to around 2500. Shifting below 2000 RPM compromises comfort and increases fuel consumption.

Are Cars Without Airbags Really Unsafe?

Cars without airbags are indeed very unsafe, as they cannot protect the occupants in the event of a collision. Below are the relevant details: 1. Definition of airbags: The airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. It mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side collision airbag is usually mounted on the dashboard. 2. Function of airbags: When used in conjunction with seat belts, airbags provide effective collision protection for the driver. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%, making them extremely important.

Why doesn't the dash cam turn off after the car is turned off?

The reason why the dash cam doesn't turn off immediately after the car is turned off: Because the dash cam itself has a built-in battery to prevent unexpected power failure which may cause the last video segment not to be saved, so the dash cam will wait for a while before shutting down after the vehicle is turned off. The following are the functions of a dash cam: 1. Evidence: After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process including video images and sound, which can provide evidence for traffic accidents. 2. Surveillance: It can also be used as a parking monitor. The video footage from the dash cam cannot be edited; if it is edited, it will not be helpful in case of an accident. It also helps prevent unavoidable fraudulent claims that are common in today's society.

What Are the Reasons Why the Other Party Can't Hear You When Making Calls via Car Bluetooth?

The reasons why the other party can't hear you when making calls via car Bluetooth are: the call volume on the phone or the volume of the car navigation system is not turned on, or the car Bluetooth is not paired and connected with the phone. If the call volume on the phone is not turned on, the solution is to try dialing a phone number. During the dialing or call state, press the volume up button on the side of the phone to increase the sound. If the volume of the car navigation system is not turned on, simply turn it on. The solution for car Bluetooth not being paired and connected with the phone is to first establish a pairing relationship between the phone and the car Bluetooth device. Turn on the Bluetooth function on both the phone and the car Bluetooth device, and set the phone Bluetooth to "Visible to All" in the settings. Then, search for Bluetooth devices on the phone, select the car Bluetooth device once found, and pair it using the password: 0000. Once the pairing is complete, the connection will be successful. After the car Bluetooth and phone Bluetooth are successfully paired and connected, you can make and receive calls; playing music on the phone can be enjoyed through the car Bluetooth device. Bluetooth hands-free is also known as car Bluetooth or car hands-free. The Bluetooth technology in car Bluetooth systems has the same transmission system. The main function is to connect with the phone via Bluetooth for hands-free calls during normal driving, achieving hands-free operation and reducing the risk of traffic accidents. It automatically identifies mobile phones without the need for cables or phone holders to connect with the phone; the owner can control the phone without touching it, even keeping both hands on the steering wheel, using voice commands to answer or make calls. Users can conduct calls through the car's audio system.

What does it mean when the lower edge of the rearview mirror is parallel to the yellow line during reverse parking?

When the lower edge of the rearview mirror is parallel to the yellow line during reverse parking, it means that you should focus on the side of the car body closest to the boundary line. The side of the car body farther from the boundary line will appear parallel to the yellow line when viewed in the rearview mirror. Below are some precautions for reverse parking: 1. Reverse from the left side: Whenever possible, choose to reverse from the left side, as it is easier for the driver to observe. During the reversing process, first look behind, then pay attention to both side rearview mirrors. 2. Observe the rear situation: Before reversing, check the situation behind the car, estimate the reversing route, and determine whether the front of the car will hit any obstacles during reversing. Especially when the steering wheel is turned significantly, the turning radius of the car's steering wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels, and the front of the car will swing outward more during reversing. Be sure to avoid scraping or hitting the front of the car.

Where is the coolant location in the Magotan?

The coolant in the Magotan is located in a small pink liquid reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment. The filling position is in the middle of the reservoir, marked by two horizontal lines. If the fluid level is below the "MIN" mark, coolant should be added immediately. Coolant replacement method: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leaks or cracks in the pipes, with a special focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose gets its name from having five connection interfaces to various parts. The coolant flows through the five-way hose and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there are any signs of coolant leakage in this section, replace the hose or re-secure the interface as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue filling the reservoir with water so that it continuously flows through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir will have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until clear water flows out. Note: Remember to disconnect the heater hose to drain all water from the heater core. Approximately one hour after draining, add the new coolant through the radiator hose, which allows the coolant to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level will drop slightly as air is purged from the cooling system. Top up the coolant to the "MAX" mark on the reservoir.
