After the engine water temperature reaches 100 degrees, driving for 1-2 kilometers may cause engine seizure. Here are specific details about engine seizure: 1. Cause: Engine seizure refers to the appearance of obvious longitudinal mechanical scratches and abrasions on the inner wall of the cylinder within the movement range of the piston rings, and in severe cases, adhesive wear occurs. 2. Prevention: The engine must be properly run-in, maintain the normal cooling water temperature between 70°C and 95°C, avoid engine overheating, do not operate under overload, do not start the engine without sufficient coolant, and strengthen the maintenance of the air filter to prevent dust from being sucked into the cylinder.

What is the legal basis for the three-document consistency requirement when refueling motorcycles?

There is no legal basis for the three-document consistency requirement when refueling motorcycles; it is a regulation established based on the "Fire Protection Design Code for Automobile Gasoline and Gas Filling Stations". Three documents required for motorcycle refueling: To refuel a motorcycle, the rider must present a driver's license, ID card, and vehicle registration certificate, and the motorcycle must be licensed. This is primarily to combat the illegal operation of unlicensed and unregistered vehicles on the road. Regulations for refueling at gas stations: First, open flames are strictly prohibited within the gas station, and all hazardous materials are forbidden. Repairing vehicles, striking metal objects, or any other activities that may generate sparks are strictly prohibited inside the station. When a motorcycle enters the station for refueling, the gas station should assign a designated staff member to guide the motorcycle to the designated refueling area. The rider must not remain seated on the motorcycle during refueling. All motor vehicles must be turned off while refueling. Motorcycles, light motorcycles, and tractors must be turned off before entering the station and must not be started within the station.

Is the Trunk Safe?

The safety of a car's trunk is relatively good, but it's best not to store valuable items inside. Precautions for placing items in the trunk: Do not overload the trunk with heavy items, as this not only increases the vehicle's burden but also raises engine consumption. Over time, it may also pose safety hazards. Avoid placing items that are prone to corrosion or spoilage, as this situation often occurs. Do not store flammable or explosive materials; such items must be transported by specialized vehicles, and private cars should never transport them without authorization. Methods to open the trunk: Press and hold the trunk unlock button on the remote key, and the trunk will open automatically. Some models may only pop open slightly, requiring manual lifting. There is also a trunk-opening switch in the driver's compartment with an icon indicating the trunk; activating this switch will open the trunk.

Why Does the Motorcycle Stall When Shifting Gears?

Motorcycle stalling when shifting gears can be caused by improper clutch adjustment, high oil viscosity, excessive component wear, etc. Improper clutch adjustment: Incomplete clutch disengagement. It is necessary to adjust the spacing of the clutch cable. The free travel of the clutch handle should be between 1-3 millimeters. If the stalling issue persists after adjustment, check if there is an internal clutch malfunction. High oil viscosity: If the motorcycle hasn't been started for a long time, the clutch pressure plate and friction disc may stick together, leading to poor separation. Consider switching to winter-grade oil or try starting in 5th gear before shifting to 1st gear. Component wear: Wear on the clutch friction disc and pressure plate sliding grooves. Repair the worn grooves on the clutch housing and main shaft to resolve the issue.

How many people can a car carry?

An ordinary car is approved to seat five people, including the driver. As long as the number of passengers does not exceed the approved capacity, it is acceptable. Each car model has different passenger capacities, so the specific number should be checked on the vehicle's documentation. Penalties for overloading a car: Driving other passenger vehicles with more than 20% over the approved number of passengers results in a deduction of 6 points. Driving passenger vehicles (excluding buses and school buses) with more than the approved number of passengers but less than 20% over results in a deduction of 3 points. Most private cars have a passenger limit of only 5 people, so carrying even one extra person means exceeding the limit by 20%, making it easy to incur heavy penalties. Exceeding 20% results in a 6-point deduction and a fine. Consequences of overloading: Overloading increases the vehicle's mass and inertia, lengthening braking distances and increasing danger. Severe overloading can lead to tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, or rollover accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the risk of accidents due to loss of control.

Will the 4S shop help with car touch-up paint during maintenance?

Going to the 4S shop for maintenance will not include car touch-up paint, you need to request and pay for it separately. Methods for car touch-up painting: First, completely remove rust, dirt, and grease from the paint surface; then use very fine sandpaper dipped in water to gently sand away rust spots, thoroughly clean the area to ensure the rust does not spread; apply tape around the scratch to prevent the touch-up paint from getting on undamaged areas; use the fine brush tip that comes with the car touch-up pen to apply the paint smoothly along the scratch. Car maintenance: Also known as car servicing, it refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car.

How Often Should Brake Fluid and Antifreeze Be Replaced in a New Car?

Brake fluid should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers or every 2 years, while antifreeze should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. If suspended particles, sediment, deterioration, or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, it should be replaced promptly, and the system should be cleaned. Generally, vehicle antifreeze needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, but this is only a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement interval should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement schedule should be determined based on actual usage. Monitor the antifreeze's condition—if it is insufficient, top it up promptly. If suspended particles, sediment, deterioration, or discoloration are detected, replace the antifreeze and clean the system immediately. The key indicators for antifreeze are its freezing and boiling points. In the market, antifreeze is available with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. It is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Antifreeze is a coolant with special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion year-round.
