Car first maintenance can be postponed, but the quality of the engine oil should be considered. If the engine oil used is of poor quality, it is recommended to perform maintenance as soon as possible. The first maintenance for a new car is free, and it should be done according to the maintenance cycle specified in the vehicle maintenance manual. The first maintenance period for a family car is 5,000 kilometers or three months, whichever comes first. Once the mileage or time is reached, you should go to the 4S store for maintenance. Although the first maintenance time of the car can be delayed, if the car exceeds the maintenance cycle, it will cause certain damage to the internal parts of the car. Therefore, the first maintenance time of the car should not be delayed for too long.

What are the rules for the Subject 2 retest?

Subject 2 immediate retest rules are: Each subject is tested once, and if the test is failed, one retest is allowed. If the retest is not taken or still results in failure, the current test session is terminated, and the candidate needs to reschedule the test. When Subject 2 is failed, the vehicle must be driven to the test endpoint. Then, the test center staff will park the test vehicle at the starting point and reset the computer before the candidate can retake the test. The main content includes five items: reversing into a garage, right-angle turns, curve driving, parallel parking, and stopping and starting on a slope. Each candidate has two attempts per test session. If both attempts fail, the candidate must wait 10 days before rescheduling the test. Subject 2 requires candidates to master basic driving operations and possess fundamental vehicle control abilities; proficiently grasp basic methods for on-site and in-field road driving, have the ability to reasonably use vehicle controls and correctly manage the vehicle's spatial position, and accurately control the vehicle's movement, speed, and route. Within the validity period of the learning driving permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test still results in failure, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated.

Do Three-Cylinder Cars Have More Maintenance Issues in the Long Run?

Three-cylinder cars do have some minor maintenance issues in the long run, but major problems are rare. The most noticeable issue is the significant engine vibration. Automakers promote three-cylinder cars aggressively to save costs and meet emission standards, while consumers tend to avoid them due to their average power, low resale value, and potential for more issues over time. Introduction to Three-Cylinder Engines: A three-cylinder engine consists of three cylinders. Inside, three identical single cylinders are arranged on a single block sharing a common crankshaft to output power. Its primary function is to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The basic principle of a three-cylinder engine involves converting the chemical energy of gasoline (or diesel) into thermal energy. When the mixed gas in the sealed cylinder combusts and expands, it pushes the piston to perform work, thereby transforming thermal energy back into mechanical energy. Reasons for Significant Vibration in Three-Cylinder Cars: The engine's operation relies on the reciprocating motion of pistons, which generates vibrations during movement—this is the root cause of vibration in three-cylinder engines. Four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines do not vibrate as much because their opposing pistons cancel out each other's vibrations. However, due to the limited number of cylinders in a three-cylinder engine, it cannot balance the vibrations between cylinders, leading to persistent shaking. To address this issue, manufacturers have implemented various balancing mechanisms, but the results have been less than ideal.

What Causes Increased Engine Noise and Shaking?

The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts. This makes starting difficult, and the combustible mixture in the engine fluctuates between lean and rich, leading to rough idling after a cold start. If necessary, an engine protector can be added to safeguard the engine. Below is an introduction to engine protectors: 1. Overview of Engine Protectors: Engine protectors, also known as engine anti-wear protectors, are additives that effectively reduce wear and corrosion on engine components, inhibit the formation of deposits such as sludge and varnish, and form a protective layer on metal surfaces with high compressive strength and excellent wear resistance. They prevent oil oxidation, thickening, and acidification, thereby protecting engine components and extending engine life. 2. Functions of Engine Protectors: The roles of engine protectors include anti-wear, lubrication, noise reduction, improving engine power, and fuel savings. Some also prevent oil burning and have carbon-cleaning capabilities.

What Causes the Alarm to Sound After Locking the Car?

Here are several reasons why the alarm may sound after locking the car: 1. Issue with the hood latch button: If there's a problem with the two small buttons near the front hood, adjusting the hood upwards can resolve this issue. 2. Damaged sensor button: If the sensor button on the driver's side door is damaged, it needs to be inspected and replaced at a 4S shop. 3. Malfunctioning alarm system: If the alarm system is malfunctioning, it is recommended to deactivate the alarm and investigate the root cause of the alarm trigger, checking each possibility one by one. Note: Generally, if the vehicle alarm cannot detect the front sensor or if the front sensor sends an alarm signal, the vehicle alarm will subsequently sound.

What lights should be turned on when driving in fog at night?

When driving in fog at night, the lights that should be turned on include fog lights, tail lights, marker lights, and low beams. High beams should not be used. More information about driving in fog at night is as follows: 1. Article 58 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When motor vehicles are driving at night without street lights, poor lighting, or in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, they should turn on headlights, marker lights, and rear position lights. However, high beams should not be used when the following vehicle is driving close to the preceding vehicle in the same direction. High beams should not be used because the upward tilt of the high beam axis causes the light to scatter diffusely in the fog, creating a blinding white haze in front of the vehicle, making it impossible to see anything while driving. 2. Before driving in fog, remember to thoroughly check your vehicle's lighting system. While driving, follow the regulations on light usage to maximize visibility and clearly observe the movements of vehicles and pedestrians. When driving in fog, strictly adhere to the speed limits set by traffic rules and avoid speeding. The thicker the fog, the shorter the visibility distance, and the lower the speed should be. When visibility is less than 200 meters but greater than 100 meters, the speed should not exceed 60 km/h. When visibility is less than 100 meters but greater than 50 meters, the speed should not exceed 40 km/h. When visibility is within 30 meters, the speed should be controlled below 20 km/h. If visibility is within 10 meters, it is recommended to stop by the roadside and not continue driving.
