Maintenance does not necessarily have to be done at the dealership where you bought the car. Any authorized dealership nationwide that matches your car's brand and model will suffice. Whether you should go to a dealership for car maintenance depends entirely on your personal circumstances, including your income and the condition of your vehicle. Additional Information: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as vehicle upkeep. 2. Modern car maintenance primarily includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. 3. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and in good technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down deterioration, and extend the vehicle's lifespan.

What to Do If the Rear Window Was Left Open During Heavy Rain and Water Got Inside the Car?

If water got inside the car due to heavy rain with the rear window left open, the first step is to assess the severity of the situation before taking action. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Severe Water Intrusion: Check the extent of water intrusion. If it's severe, it may involve water entering the electrical circuits. Avoid turning on any electronic devices if possible. Use a mechanical key to open the door and call a tow truck to take the car to a 4S shop for drying treatment. 2. Moderate Water Intrusion: If the water intrusion is not too severe, remove and clean items like floor mats and seat covers, then let them dry to prevent odors later. 3. Slightly Severe Water Intrusion: If the water intrusion is slightly severe and the car seats are soaked, drive the car to a detailing shop to have the seats removed and dried. Since car seats contain sponge material, failing to dry them properly may cause them to rot.

How to Solve the Problem of Blurred Car Glass in Humid Weather?

In humid weather, blurred car glass can be resolved using wipers and the air blowing system. Here are the detailed solutions: 1. Fog on the windshield: The fog on the windshield can be removed by turning on the wipers; if the glass is very dirty, spray glass cleaner several times, and the glass will become clean. Then, turn on the car's air blowing system and direct it towards the windshield. Blowing cold air for a few minutes will completely eliminate the fog on the windshield. 2. Fog on side windows: When the fog is severe, the side windows may also fog up. In this case, slightly opening and closing the windows can significantly reduce the fog, improving visibility outside. 3. Fog on rearview mirrors: Installing rain guards above the rearview mirrors and applying soapy water or anti-fog agents before driving can keep them clear for at least 1-2 days.

Car Forward Gear and Reverse Gear?

Car D gear is the forward gear, and R gear is the reverse gear. More information about car D gear and R gear is as follows: 1. When shifting to reverse gear, some vehicles require pressing the safety button device on the gearshift to move the gear lever to the R position. The R gear cannot be engaged while the car is moving; the vehicle must come to a complete stop before shifting into reverse. 2. When preparing to start driving, after pressing the brake, shift the gear lever into the D position, then release the handbrake, release the brake, and press the accelerator to start. Continue pressing the accelerator as needed for speed, and the car will automatically shift between gears 1~4 based on speed. 3. When going downhill for a long distance, since the automatic transmission D gear does not have engine braking function, do not keep it in D gear, otherwise the speed will increase continuously, posing safety risks. Frequent braking can cause the brake pads to overheat and wear excessively.

What Causes Abnormal Noise During Cold Engine Start?

The reason for abnormal noise during cold engine start is that the internal gears of the starter lose lubrication, causing stiffness and jamming, which affects the timely return of the gears. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. When there is abnormal noise during cold start, the car should be parked for a day, as the engine's lubricating oil has basically all flowed back into the oil pan. During a cold engine start, the oil pump cannot immediately establish oil pressure, preventing the formation of an oil film between components. After the engine runs for a while, oil pressure is established, an oil film forms, and the oil temperature rises. The "clicking" sound disappears once the engine operates normally. 2. Due to excessive dirt inside the starter and the failure of the lubricating oil, the flywheel engine forcibly drives the starter to operate at its own speed. Since there is a speed difference between the two, this causes the starter to produce the "grinding" sound that is heard. This noise only ends when the starter reaches the same thermal state as the engine, but in severe cases, the noise occurs every time the engine is started.
