Car maintenance is typically required every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, which generally involves changing the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter. Engine oil serves multiple functions including cooling, lubrication, cleaning, and sealing, playing a crucial role in ensuring the engine operates properly. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. The scope of car maintenance primarily includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more.

Compared to regular trains, the express trains save nearly 10 minutes for a one-way trip from Dongfeng to Jiahewanggang. Here is more relevant information: 1. Residents of Zengcheng can reduce one transfer when traveling to the city center, saving nearly 14 minutes for a one-way trip from Zhenlong to Jiahewanggang compared to regular trains, fully leveraging the advantages of rail transit in terms of speed and convenience. 2. Line 14 uses 6-carriage Type B trains and an overhead contact system with a maximum operating speed of 120 km/h. 3.

What does a cumulative score of 8 points mean?

Cumulative deduction of 8 points refers to the accumulation of penalty points on a driver's license due to traffic violations. Below is more relevant information: 1. As long as the total points accumulated within one scoring cycle (one year starting from the initial license issuance date) do not reach 12 points, after paying the fine, the system will reset the accumulated points from the previous cycle at the start of the next cycle. 2. After accumulating 12 points on the driver's license, the traffic police will notify the driver to attend a training session. 3. Driver's license points: Points on a driver's license are penalties for traffic violations. Depending on the severity of the violation, points can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12 per violation. The scoring cycle is one inspection period. If a driver accumulates 12 points in one cycle, they lose their driving privileges and must undergo at least 7 days of traffic safety education. Only after passing the exam can they regain their driving privileges. 4. Passing the exam: The points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Failing the exam requires continued participation in training and retaking the exam. Refusing to attend training or take the exam will result in the traffic management department of the public security authority announcing the suspension of the driver's license.

What is the function of the triangular window in a sedan?

The functions of the triangular window in a car are as follows: 1. The first function is to expand the field of vision and reduce blind spots: The triangular window on the front door of the car can increase the driver's field of vision. While driving, it is necessary to observe not only the front of the car but also the traffic conditions on both sides. If there is no triangular window on the front door, the driver may not be able to see the traffic conditions and surrounding situation in that direction, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. The triangular window on the rear door can increase the viewing area for the rear passengers, providing them with a broader field of vision. 2. The second function is that the triangular structure is more stable: Among many polygons, the triangle has the best stability. In daily life, many objects that require high stability are designed using the principle of triangles, and the triangular window on the car can make the entire window more stable. 3. The third function is to determine the position of the car body: Through the triangular window, the driver can clearly see the position of the wheels. When turning, the direction of the wheels can be judged through the triangular window. Although the triangular window on the car is small, its manufacturing difficulty is much higher than that of the car's glass, and the price is not cheap.

What size wrench is needed for car battery screws?

Generally, the commonly used wrench sizes for removing car batteries are 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 14mm. Car battery usage tips: 1. Avoid excessive use of in-car electronic devices: With the increasing number of in-car electronics, while they provide entertainment, they also increase the battery's load. Using them while driving is acceptable, but if used while parked or idling, it will inevitably increase the battery's power consumption, adding to its load and leading to battery depletion, affecting its lifespan. 2. Forgetting to turn off the air conditioning after turning off the engine: Many drivers have this habit—not turning off the air conditioning after shutting down the engine, then letting it start when the car is restarted. Unbeknownst to them, this method causes an instantaneous high power demand on the vehicle, and over time, it also wears out the battery. 3. Frequent vehicle starts in a short time: Especially in winter, when the car is hard to start, if the first attempt fails, do not rush to restart repeatedly. The interval between each start should be at least 3 seconds; otherwise, it can cause excessive battery discharge and damage.
