A car that only drives 2,000 kilometers a year still requires maintenance. Engine oil has a shelf life, and over time, it can deteriorate. Maintenance should be performed according to the owner's manual, typically every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, whichever comes first. Relevant information about car maintenance is as follows: Introduction: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. Maintenance scope: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other related components.

What is the function of the 'off' button in a car?

The 'off' button in a car refers to the switch for deactivating the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. The working principle of the Electronic Stability Control system is: During scenarios such as rapid cornering, evasive maneuvers to avoid suddenly appearing vehicles or animals, when understeer causes the vehicle to slide outward or oversteer leads to crossing the road centerline or even spinning, the system uses computer-controlled engine output and individual wheel braking to counteract understeer or oversteer, thereby enhancing dynamic driving stability. When the vehicle's ignition is on, the ESC system is activated by default. By pressing and holding the 'off' button, the Electronic Stability Control system can be deactivated.

Which tire does not move when the car turns right?

When the car turns right, all four tires are rotating, but the right tires rotate slower than the left ones during a right turn. Here are some precautions regarding tire purchase and usage: When purchasing tires, always check the production date: If the production date is too old, do not buy them. Tires are rubber products and will age even if unused. During regular use, frequently check tire pressure and look for any surface damage: The sidewalls of tires are relatively fragile. If the sidewall is cut or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is minimal.

What is the Best Way to Charge a Car Battery?

Since the shallower the discharge, the more the number of cycles will significantly increase. Therefore, according to this theory, frequent charging is beneficial to the cycle life. However, as far as the chargers widely circulated and used in the current market are concerned, due to the influence of price factors and technical levels, chargers have defects such as high failure rate, poor reliability, and low accuracy. Therefore, sometimes frequent charging may adversely affect the battery's service life. Moreover, frequent charging of the battery will aggravate the softening and shedding of the active material on the positive plate of the battery, and also accelerate the corrosion of the grid. Finally, it is more reasonable to charge the battery when 50-70% of the power is discharged, which is beneficial to the use of the battery. Generally, it is best to charge the battery when one-third of the power remains.
