Different brand models may have different requirements. Sedans generally require an oil change between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, while the first service for a new car is typically at 3,000-5,000 kilometers. Below are specific details about maintenance: 1. First service: Some manufacturers base it on time or mileage. The exact timing for the first service should be referred to in the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first service is very important and is usually free, so be sure to remember to do it to avoid missing it, which could affect the car's third service. 2. Maintenance items: The main items in car maintenance include replacing engine oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, spark plugs, cabin air filters, engine air filters, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need to be replaced every time; it depends on their service life. In addition, maintenance also involves inspection and upkeep of dozens of items across multiple systems such as the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

Windshield wipers are blade-like structures installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. The maintenance methods for windshield wipers include: 1. Clean the water accumulated on the wipers and windshield promptly after washing the car; 2. Regularly check the wipers for cracks or damage; 3. Stand the wipers upright when parking outdoors for extended periods.

How to Solve Foggy Car Windows?

Press the defogging button, turn on the air conditioning (A/C) switch, set the temperature to the lowest, and turn on the external circulation to remove fog. Both cold and warm air can defog car windows, but warm air works slower than cold air. The most effective method is to use cold air, which blows dry, cold air directly onto the glass, preventing water vapor from condensing on the glass and achieving defogging. The method for warm air defogging is the same as cold air defogging, but note that warm air should not be used on rainy days as it may initially worsen the fog. Always use external circulation when defogging car windows. The reason for foggy car windows: There is a certain temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperatures inside and outside the car are different, the surface with the lower temperature will have a lower saturated vapor pressure than the surrounding environment, causing water vapor to gather on the glass surface in the form of tiny droplets, forming fog. Methods to defog car windows: Air Conditioning Cooling: Use the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car without turning on the air conditioning promptly, the exhaled air has high humidity, and the windshield will fog up quickly. At this time, turn on the air conditioning to blow cold air onto the windshield, using the dehumidifying function to remove the fog quickly. If the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is not effective enough, slightly open a window to quickly reduce the humidity inside the car. Combining this with the air conditioning will yield faster results. Air Conditioning Warm Air: Use the method of reducing the temperature difference to remove fog. In winter, blow warm air onto the glass to quickly raise the temperature of the windshield, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside surfaces of the glass, thereby preventing heavy fogging. However, note that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to remove all the fog. Whether the air conditioning is automatic or manual, turning it on helps with dehumidification. Do not set the air conditioning temperature to the coldest position, as this may cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up over time. Applying Anti-Fog Spray: Spray a small amount of defogging agent on the car windows and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains. While polishing the glass, a thin, transparent protective film forms, effectively preventing water vapor from condensing into fog on the glass. This is especially useful in cold winters. Alternatives to anti-fog spray include dish soap, soapy water, glycerin, alcohol, or saline solution. After applying and letting it dry, wipe off any excess with a chamois or soft dry cloth. This will keep the car windows fog-free for several days. Opening Windows for Airflow: If the fog inside the car is not too heavy, opening the windows on both sides can create airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating the fog. The principle of this method is the same as using cold air from the air conditioning. However, this method has obvious drawbacks and cannot be used during rain, snow, on highways, or when the fog is heavy. Rear Window Heating: Most cars have a rear window heating function, though the button location may vary. Turning on the rear window heating switch will remove the fog in about a minute.

Can the Spare Tire Reach a Speed of 100 km/h?

The speed capability of a spare tire reaching 100 km/h depends on its type: 1. A full-size spare tire can reach speeds up to 100 km/h; 2. A non-full-size spare tire cannot reach speeds of 100 km/h. The locations of spare tires include: 1. Under the trunk mat; 2. Mounted on the rear of the vehicle; 3. Beneath the chassis. The steps for replacing a spare tire are: 1. Retrieve the spare tire, jack, and tire wrench from the trunk; 2. Place the jack under the chassis support and slowly lift the vehicle, placing a tire chock under the car for safety; 3. Use the wrench to remove the bolts of the tire that needs replacing and take off the tire; 4. Align the spare tire with the axle and bolt holes, then tighten the tire bolts securely.
