Many new car manuals specify clear maintenance intervals in terms of both time and mileage. Once these prescribed limits are reached, it's necessary to visit a 4S shop for servicing. Below is relevant information about vehicle maintenance: 1. Minor Maintenance: Minor maintenance should be performed every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. The main items include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, as well as cleaning the air filter. 2. Major Maintenance: The general recommendation for major maintenance is every 20,000 kilometers or every two years.

What is the reason for no response in headlight left-right adjustment?

No response in headlight left-right adjustment is due to the malfunction of the internal adjustment motor in the headlight, and replacing the motor can solve the issue. Below are specific details about headlight adjustment: Precautions: It should be noted that the width of the headlights is generally preset at the factory, and self-adjustment is not recommended. If there is any deviation, minor adjustments can be made. During adjustment, the right headlight beam can be slightly adjusted to the right, which can provide better visibility of the right side of the road during low-visibility conditions such as rain or fog. However, it is more advisable to have a professional adjustment done at a 4S shop or repair shop. Adjustment Method: Park the car 10 meters away from a wall, measure the distance from the car's low beam to the central axis, the distance from the high beam to the central axis, and the distance from the low beam to the ground. Then move to the wall and mark the corresponding points on the wall. Next, observe whether the headlight beams are offset left or right or too high or low. If the center of the headlight beam does not align with the marked points, it indicates an offset. This can be adjusted by rotating the headlight width adjustment knob to align the center of the headlight beam with the marked points on the wall.
