The first maintenance for the Kia Sportage is required at 5000KM or 3 months, and the second maintenance is at 10000KM or 6 months, and so on. The importance of vehicle maintenance: Daily maintenance of the vehicle is essential for driving safety. Proper daily maintenance and upkeep mainly involve adhering to the "three checks," maintaining the "four cleans," and preventing the "four leaks." Keeping the vehicle in good condition is crucial for driving safety, and daily maintenance and upkeep are indispensable, especially for the technical performance of the brakes, steering, and tires, as well as ensuring the proper functioning of lights, horns, and rearview mirrors. Various fluids, such as coolant and brake fluid, must also be maintained at normal levels. Correct car maintenance procedure: Replace the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter; check whether the coolant level meets the specified requirements; inspect the brake and clutch fluid levels; verify that the power steering fluid level complies with regulations and check for any leaks in the system's oil pipe connections; check the battery fluid level and the windshield washer fluid level; inspect the tension and aging of the belts for the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and power steering pump; ensure all front and rear lights are functional (including headlights, marker lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and fog lights); check the tire pressure and wear, tighten the tire bolts to the specified torque, adjust the tire pressure to the vehicle's recommended value, and rotate the tires based on wear patterns; verify that the vehicle's exhaust emissions meet the standards.

What Causes Car Shaking When Starting in First Gear?

The reasons for car shaking when starting in first gear are: 1. Insufficient engine power, causing the engine to struggle and the car to shake during start; 2. Loose connection between the transmission and chassis; 3. Uneven engagement between the clutch pressure plate and clutch friction disc. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When the inner race is fixed, the outer race can rotate freely clockwise as the wedges do not lock; 2. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedges lock and the outer race cannot rotate. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force to ensure smooth starting; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload of the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact from the engine and extending the service life of transmission gears.

Can a Flood-Damaged Car Be Driven?

A flood-damaged car can be driven, but it is not recommended. Flood-damaged vehicles pose significant safety hazards, meaning they often have lingering issues. The electrical circuits are prone to short circuits or even fires. While they can be repaired to some extent, even after repairs, substantial safety risks remain. Most auto repair shops, including authorized service centers, are reluctant to work on flood-damaged cars due to the persistent problems, primarily contamination-related and electrical circuit issues. Here are some driving precautions: Check the rearview mirrors: Always use turn signals and slow down when turning or changing lanes, and be sure to check the rearview mirrors before turning. Left turns mainly require checking the left mirror, right turns the right mirror, and both turns should involve checking the interior rearview mirror. Avoid fixating on the area directly in front of the car: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters, avoiding staring at the immediate area in front of the vehicle.

Can You Start the Engine in P Gear for Automatic Transmission?

You can start the engine in P gear for automatic transmission. As long as you do not pause when shifting from P gear through R gear after starting the engine, it will not cause damage to the transmission. Introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. P gear is the parking gear, used for long-term parking of the vehicle; 2. R gear is the reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N gear is the neutral gear, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. D gear is the drive gear, where the vehicle automatically shifts gears based on throttle opening and speed data when the gear lever is in D gear; 5. S gear is the sport mode, making the vehicle drive more sportily; 6. M gear refers to the manual mode, where gear shifting is done manually by the driver when the gear lever is in M gear; 7. L gear is the low gear.

Why Are Flood-Damaged Cars So Cheap?

Because the quality of flood-damaged cars is very poor. Below are the relevant explanations: Hidden dangers: "Flood-damaged cars" can be repaired to a certain extent, but even after repair, there are serious hidden dangers. The longer the soaking time, the higher the probability of malfunctions. It's like a watch falling into water—even if it's disassembled and dried, the watch will still malfunction and cannot be completely fixed. Hazards: In fact, after being repaired, "flood-damaged cars" are like "time bombs" that can cause problems at any time. For example, the engine may suddenly shut off while driving at high speed, or the airbags may fail to deploy in critical moments or even deploy for no reason. Although such cars are cheap, they pose serious safety hazards during daily driving. Therefore, consumers are advised not to buy "flood-damaged cars" just to save money.
