After the maintenance light comes on in a new car, it can still be driven normally. The maintenance light is just a reminder, but a car that has not been serviced poses safety hazards and should be maintained on schedule. More details about the first maintenance for a new car are as follows: 1. The first maintenance of a car is the mandatory initial service after the vehicle leaves the factory. The first maintenance is very important because it involves replacing the break-in oil with oil suitable for regular driving. Without this maintenance, the engine and its internal components may experience excessive wear. 2. The first maintenance for a new car should be performed after driving 5,000 kilometers or six months. 3. The first maintenance includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. During the oil and filter change, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle will be conducted. This includes checking all lights, fluid levels, the functionality of all electrical systems, tire inspection and pressure adjustment, examining the condition of all chassis components, checking for oil leaks in the engine and transmission, and ensuring they are functioning properly. A professional diagnostic device will also be used to perform a computer scan of the entire vehicle, and the maintenance light will be reset.

Steps for changing engine oil: Lift the vehicle, remove the undercover, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain plug; unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, then tighten the oil drain plug after draining and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; reinstall the undercover and lower the vehicle, use a funnel to add oil to the filler port. Precautions when changing engine oil: Perform the change when the engine is warm to ensure the old oil is drained as thoroughly as possible; add oil and ensure the amount is appropriate; after adding oil, start the engine and check all parts for leaks, run the engine for 3 minutes to confirm the oil level is at the normal mark.

What is the problem with water leakage on the left side of the car?

Water leakage at the front of the car may be caused by windshield washer fluid or coolant leakage. In the front part of the car, if it's not engine oil, the only two systems with liquids are the windshield washer and coolant systems. Generally, first check the windshield washer pump, pump connections, washer fluid tank, tank connections, and then inspect the pipes. The reasons for water leakage are as follows: 1. The tank is too full: The same applies to coolant. For the tank body, upper and lower tank openings, water pump, pump connections, and pipes, there is an overflow pipe at the coolant tank filler. If the tank is overfilled, when the water temperature rises, it may overflow from the overflow pipe, which is normal. A small trick is to observe the ground where the water is leaking after parking, corresponding to which part of the front of the car is above it. Trace the water marks upwards from the lowest dripping point to easily find the leak. 2. Chassis water leakage: There are generally two possibilities for water leakage from the car chassis: one is exhaust pipe dripping, and the other is air conditioning dripping. Exhaust pipe dripping occurs when the ambient temperature is relatively low, especially in winter, and the car's exhaust pipe drips water outward, which is a very normal phenomenon. Air conditioning dripping happens when the air conditioning is cooling. Due to the evaporation and heat absorption of Freon, the surface temperature of the evaporator is much lower than the "dew point" temperature of the room temperature at that time, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water.

Can a car start after running out of fuel and then refueling?

When the fuel tank runs empty, air enters the fuel lines. When refueling, add enough fuel to cover the fuel pump, and let the engine idle for a while to expel the air from the fuel lines before starting the car. Nowadays, various types of gasoline contain alcohol components, so in emergencies, alcohol can be mixed in as a substitute for gasoline. Relevant information about car fuel tanks is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car fuel tank is the full name for the automobile fuel container. Currently, with the development of the automotive industry and the revitalization of the domestic automotive sector, the demand for car fuel tanks from major automobile manufacturers has shown a significant upward trend. 2. Design Principle: Utilizing the heat generated by the engine during operation, a thermal circulation system is added between the engine, fuel tank, and radiator. The original single fuel tank design is modified into a combined fuel tank consisting of a main tank and an auxiliary tank.
