Civic's first maintenance should be performed at 5,000 kilometers or within 3 months. Here is relevant information about the first maintenance: 1. Regulations: According to relevant regulations, exceeding the first maintenance date will be regarded as voluntarily waiving the right to first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, the vehicle will not be covered by warranty for any quality issues that may arise in the future. 2. Precautions for first maintenance: Before the first maintenance, it is best for the owner or the person who will frequently drive the car in the future to drive it. This allows the new car to adapt to the driver more quickly and effectively. During the first maintenance, the mechanic can also assess the vehicle's condition based on the driver's habits and make adjustments accordingly, achieving the best coordination between the car and the driver.

I remember when I last drove a Honda Civic, regarding the first maintenance mileage, according to the official manual, it is generally set at around 5,000 kilometers. After purchasing a new car, the engine and components need to break in, so it's best to complete the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers. The service mainly includes changing the engine oil and filter, as well as checking the tires and chassis. Missing or delaying this maintenance may affect the vehicle's warranty status or lead to performance degradation. From my experience, completing the first maintenance early makes the engine run smoother and reduces the risk of future repairs. It's advisable to note the mileage as soon as you get the new car and schedule an appointment with a 4S shop or an authorized maintenance center in advance. This approach is cost-effective and hassle-free. If you drive frequently, such as commuting long distances daily, it's wise to pay extra attention to the engine oil level just in case.

For cars like the Civic, the first maintenance is around 5,000 kilometers. I make it a habit to regularly check the engine oil and basic items. The first maintenance for a new car isn't just about changing the oil; it also includes inspecting the brakes and lights. In practice, if you drive a lot, it's better to do it a bit earlier, around the 5,000-kilometer mark. This helps keep the car in good condition and prevents small issues from turning into costly problems. From my personal experience, fuel consumption becomes more stable after maintenance, especially in city driving, and issues like idle shaking are reduced. Subsequent maintenance intervals are usually every 10,000 kilometers, but don't delay the first maintenance—it should be prioritized. Choosing a reputable maintenance center is crucial; avoid cheap shops to prevent the use of substandard parts that could harm your vehicle's health.

Release the button, remove the key, wait for 30 seconds, and then start the car—the 'Service' light should turn off. The 'Service' prompt on the car dashboard is a maintenance reminder function set by the manufacturer to alert the owner to perform scheduled maintenance based on mileage.

Why does the car make a hissing sound like air leakage when the air conditioner is turned on?

The reasons why the car makes a hissing sound like air leakage when the air conditioner is turned on are: 1. Faulty car air conditioner compressor: The clutch inside it slips, causing a hissing sound when the air conditioning system is working; 2. Loose car clutch: When the car starts the air conditioner, the engine load will increase at the same time, which will cause the car's clutch to vibrate and produce abnormal noise; 3. Clogged air conditioner filter. The car air conditioner is an air conditioning device installed in the car, which can cool, heat, ventilate and purify the air in the compartment, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing the driver's fatigue intensity, and improving driving safety. The air conditioning device has become one of the signs to measure whether the car's functions are complete.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Applying Rear Drum Brakes?

Rear drum brakes making a squeaking noise when applied may indicate severely worn brake pads that need replacement. Brake pads are consumable items that gradually wear thinner with vehicle use. When the friction material is nearly depleted, a warning mechanism—the brake pad wear indicator—comes into play. This metal tab contacts the brake drum, producing a sharp metallic scraping sound as an alert. Considerations for brake pads are as follows: 1. Check thickness: New brake pads typically measure around 1.5cm thick, gradually thinning with friction. When visual inspection shows only about 1/3 of the original thickness remains (approximately 0.5cm), owners should increase self-inspection frequency and prepare for replacement. Some vehicle models' wheel designs prevent visual inspection, requiring tire removal. In such cases, if the warning light activates, the brake pad's metal base is already grinding against the drum, often visible as shiny metal particles near the wheel rim. 2. Listen for sounds: If light braking produces metallic scraping or squealing (which may also occur during initial pad bedding), immediate replacement is necessary. 3. Assess pedal feel: If braking requires significantly more effort or deeper pedal travel to achieve normal stopping power, or if the pedal feels abnormally low during emergency braking, the pads may have lost friction capability, mandating replacement.

Can Color Weakness Glasses Pass the Driver's License Renewal Physical Examination?

Color weakness cannot be corrected by wearing glasses. Both color blindness and color weakness are hereditary conditions that are generally difficult to treat, and wearing glasses hardly improves color sensitivity. Since there is no effective treatment, it is unlikely to pass the driving school physical examination by wearing color weakness glasses. According to Chinese regulations, only individuals with red-green color blindness are prohibited from obtaining a driver's license. The physical examination items for obtaining a driver's license are as follows: 1. Height: Applicants for A1, A2, A3, and B2 licenses must be at least 155 cm tall, while B1 applicants must be at least 150 cm tall. 2. Vision: For regular car licenses, vision must be at least 4.9 without red-green color blindness. For large vehicles, trucks, and buses, vision must be at least 5.0. Applicants with monocular vision of 5.0 or above can apply for a regular car license. 3. Hearing: Must be able to distinguish the direction of a sound source at 50 cm with both ears. 4. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact with normal limb and finger movement. 5. Lower limbs: Normal movement function with no more than a 5 cm difference in leg length. 6. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction.
