The first service for the Focus is at 5,000 kilometers, primarily involving an oil change and oil filter replacement. Subsequent services are required every 10,000 kilometers. Car Maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. Car Maintenance Time Considerations: After the vehicle's regular maintenance is completed, prompt the service to address any other previously identified faults. Prepare the user manual (must bring) for the maintenance. Also, organize the items in the car and avoid leaving valuables inside to prevent loss.

What is the emission standard for a 2004 car?

2004 cars comply with China II emission standard. Below is relevant information about China II: 1. Application scope: According to the "Announcement on Implementing the National Phase II Vehicle Emission Standards" issued by the Environmental Protection Administration, starting from September 1, 2003, all newly designed heavy-duty vehicles must meet the National Phase II Type Approval Emission Limits equivalent to Euro 2 standards.

Where is the big green book for used car loans?

The big green book (Vehicle Registration Certificate) is required to be mortgaged at the bank or auto finance company for car owners who purchase vehicles through loans. Since it's a loan purchase, the bank or auto finance company fears that the owner might sell the car before the loan is fully repaid, hence the need to hold onto this big green book. After the transfer of a used car, the following items must be obtained; otherwise, it will be very troublesome to reapply for them later: 1. Vehicle Registration Certificate: It is essential to obtain the Vehicle Registration Certificate, commonly known as the green book. The green book is equivalent to a property deed, recording all vehicle information, including the owner, transfer history, and whether the vehicle is mortgaged, etc. The green book accompanies the vehicle from its first registration until it is scrapped. 2. Invoice: After the vehicle transfer is completed, the transfer office window will provide you with a new invoice, that thin, white, rectangular piece of paper. If lost, not only will future vehicle transfers be impossible, but reissuing it will also be very troublesome. 3. Driving License: Before the vehicle transfer, the vehicle needs to be re-inspected, and the driving license information must be updated, changing the previous owner to the current vehicle owner. The driving license must not be lost and must be kept safe. 4. Compulsory Insurance Policy: The compulsory insurance policy is required during the vehicle transfer and must be transferred along with the vehicle. Be sure to distinguish between commercial insurance and compulsory insurance, as both policies are similar in size to A4 paper and look alike; check the font labels carefully. If commercial insurance is not needed or if you prefer to choose a different insurance company, the previous owner can cancel it, but the compulsory insurance policy must be obtained.

To move the gear lever out of this position, the brake pedal must be pressed, and the ignition switch must be turned on. 2. R gear: Reverse position. Move the gear lever into this position when reversing. The gear lever can only be moved into this position after the car has come to a complete stop. 3. N gear: Neutral position.

Can the Honda Vezel use 5w40 engine oil?

1.5L naturally aspirated engine models do not require the use of 5w40 engine oil. For 1.5L turbocharged models, 5w30 engine oil can be used. If the driving style is more aggressive, 5w40 engine oil can also be used. The replacement capacity is 4L, and the replacement interval is 10,000 kilometers. It is recommended to check the vehicle's user manual and select the engine oil according to the instructions. Here are the methods for selecting engine oil for the Vezel: 1. For the Honda Vezel, use original manufacturer-recommended engine oil, such as 5W30 mineral oil or 5W40 fully synthetic lubricant. 2. Turbocharged engines and naturally aspirated engines have tighter engine structures and more demanding working conditions, requiring higher-quality engine oil. 3. Use 5W engine oil in winter, and 0W engine oil in northern regions.

What happens if you frequently turn the steering wheel to its limit?

Frequently turning the steering wheel to its limit can cause damage to certain parts of the vehicle. While it won't harm the car's steering system, it can damage the tires. Therefore, avoid turning the wheel to its limit when it's not necessary. The steering wheel is designed for directional control, and every vehicle is equipped with a steering system that protects corresponding car components from damage when turning. The steering system makes it easier for drivers to turn the wheel and prevents damage to vehicle parts when turning to the limit. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and aircraft, functioning to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft.
