For a new car, maintenance is required either 3 months from the date of purchase or at 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Once either condition is met, the car should be taken to a 4S shop for maintenance. The first maintenance is free within the specified period, but any maintenance beyond the first one will require payment. If maintenance is not performed as required, the 4S shop may consider it as voluntarily waiving the warranty rights, which is not cost-effective because the nature of the vehicle warranty is similar to buying insurance for the vehicle. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. Purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

What does the term 'Three Treasures of the Car Loser' mean?

The 'Three Treasures of the Car Loser' is a catchy phrase referring to the Chevrolet Malibu. Here is some extended information about the 'Three Treasures of the Car Loser': 1. Meaning: The 'Three Treasures' were considered to be all show and no substance, looked down upon by others. The term 'Three Treasures of the Car Loser' is merely a playful and teasing nickname. In the car market environment of that time, joint-venture mid-size cars were expensive, and domestic mid-size cars didn't have any standout models. The 'Three Treasures' managed to do quite well with their ultra-low prices. Mainstream mid-size cars were all quite pricey, such as the Accord, Passat, Magotan, and Camry of that era. The three families behind the 'Three Treasures' began to exploit market gaps by introducing the three brothers that focused on cost-effectiveness, hence the origin of the 'Three Treasures of the Car Loser.' 2. Development: Nowadays, domestic mid-size cars have started to improve, and the prices of mid-size cars from joint-venture brands like Volkswagen, Toyota, and Honda have also dropped. The advantages of the three brothers no longer exist.

How Does Nighttime Driving Affect Visibility Distance?

During nighttime driving, drivers have significantly worse visibility of objects compared to daytime, and the visibility distance is shortened. At night, while driving on the road, due to the effect of headlights, drivers see bright objects against a dark background, making these objects appear larger. However, the eyes still judge distance based on the perception that closer objects appear larger, leading to a reduced visibility distance. Important precautions for highway driving include: 1. Both the driver and front-seat passenger should fasten their seat belts, and the driver should avoid using a phone; 2. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements while driving at high speeds; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily while driving. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle ahead, the turn signal must be activated in advance; 4. Only use adjacent lanes for overtaking, and immediately return to the driving lane after overtaking. Vehicles must not straddle or drive on lane dividers; 5. Do not reverse, drive in the opposite direction, make U-turns or turns by crossing the central divider, conduct test drives, or drive a training vehicle. Overtaking or parking on ramps is prohibited; 6. Maintain a following distance of at least 100 meters. When the speed is below 100 km/h, the distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance should not be less than 50 meters.
