Typically, a minor maintenance is performed every 7,000 kilometers or so, while a major maintenance is done around 14,000 kilometers, but this depends on the specific condition of the vehicle. Below is more relevant information: 1. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a vehicle, also known as vehicle upkeep. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down deterioration, and extend the usage cycle. 2. Car maintenance is divided into major and minor maintenance. In addition to changing the engine oil, major maintenance also involves replacing the three filters and spark plugs. The three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. The filters function to remove impurities, with each filtering dust from the air, sludge and carbon deposits from the oil, and impurities from the fuel, respectively. 3. Minor maintenance generally refers to routine maintenance tasks performed when the vehicle hasn't traveled long distances to ensure its performance, mainly including changing the engine oil, oil filter, and conducting routine inspections.

Does the Three-Way Catalytic Converter Malfunction Light Affect the Car?

The three-way catalytic converter malfunction can affect many aspects of the car, including annual inspection, fuel consumption, power, and exhaust emissions. Below are the specific impacts: 1. Excessive exhaust emissions: If the three-way catalytic converter is clogged or fails, harmful gases such as CO and NOx are directly emitted, resulting in non-compliant exhaust emissions. 2. Increased fuel consumption: A clogged three-way catalytic converter affects the normal operation of the oxygen sensor, which in turn affects the accuracy of the oxygen sensor signals received by the engine. This leads to inaccurate control of fuel injection, air intake, and ignition, naturally increasing fuel consumption. 3. Poor exhaust flow and reduced power: This is more noticeable in turbocharged models. When high-pressure exhaust is needed, a clogged three-way catalytic converter restricts exhaust flow, affecting air intake, reducing engine power, and causing sluggish acceleration.

What Causes Fuel Supply Issues in Cars?

Here are the specific reasons for insufficient fuel supply in cars: 1. Low engine temperature: Especially during cold starts in winter, when the engine temperature is insufficient, both fuel and lubricant temperatures are too low. More fuel should be injected during cold starts to meet power requirements. Poor fuel atomization at low temperatures leads to reduced ignition energy, thus affecting performance. 2. Carbon buildup in engine and intake manifold: Since carbon deposits can absorb a certain amount of fuel, the ECU makes incorrect judgments. For example, if the computer controls injection of 100 units of air-fuel mixture, only 90 units actually enter the cylinder, with 10 units being absorbed by carbon deposits. Even if the remaining 90 units burn completely, the required power output still can't be achieved. 3. Ignition system failure: Aging ignition systems result in weaker ignition energy, causing ignition coils or spark plugs to misfire or experience intermittent ignition. This discontinuous ignition leads to inconsistent power output.

Can the USB port in the car charge a phone directly?

The USB port in the car can directly charge a phone. Below are specific reasons why the USB port might fail to charge: 1. No charging indication on the phone: The vehicle's USB port fuse may be blown. Refer to the vehicle's user manual to locate the corresponding fuse and replace it with a spare if it's blown; the data cable might be damaged; or the phone's charging port spring may be loose, causing poor contact. 2. The phone shows charging but doesn't actually charge: Check the USB port's application range in the vehicle's user manual. Generally, USB ports intended only for data reading provide a current of 0.5A, while a phone charging port requires at least 1A current output.

Introduction to the Function of the Relay Below the Refine Steering Wheel

The relay located below the Refine steering wheel records and displays the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) data of the vehicle's computer, which includes a driving record function. It can provide operational data for various systems of the vehicle, allowing users to check the working status of each system. Generally, some data can be read through the dashboard, but there is much more data that cannot be displayed. The data recorded by OBD is more comprehensive than what is shown on the dashboard. Here is more detailed information about OBD: 1. Quickly identify fault points: OBD can read a variety of professional data such as throttle opening, air-fuel ratio, and the opening degree of the accelerator and brake pedals, as well as retrieve fault codes to quickly locate issues. 2. Fault analysis: Through data calculation, OBD can analyze faults in electronic components within the engine's electronic control system.
