Hail can damage cars. Smaller hailstones, such as those the size of soybeans, have minimal impact and generally do not cause harm to vehicles. 1. Analysis: Cars have a certain level of resistance to impact, and in most cases, they will be fine unless the vehicle's body or glass is of poor quality. Hail falling from high altitudes carries significant potential energy and can be quite destructive. Generally, hailstones the size of a one-yuan coin can damage a car, causing harm to the windshield and paint. 2. Prevention: During hailstorms, try to park your car in a sheltered area, preferably in an underground parking lot. If the car is parked outdoors, covering it with a thick blanket can help reduce damage. If there is no place to hide when hail strikes, quickly move to the back seat of the car to avoid injury from shattered windshield glass.

How often should a car be serviced after the first maintenance?

After the first maintenance, a car should be serviced every year or every 10,000 kilometers. New cars usually require their first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers. If the mileage is relatively low, it is sufficient to have the first maintenance at a 4S shop within one year. As long as the first maintenance is performed at a 4S shop within the specified period, the warranty can still be honored even if subsequent maintenance is not done at a 4S shop. 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. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

Before reinstalling the spark plug, check the electrode gap of the spark plug, which should comply with the specified gap value for the corresponding vehicle model; 3. Install the cleaned spark plug to complete the carbon deposit cleaning.
