Primary Maintenance (approximately 5,000 kilometers): This involves tightening and lubrication-centered maintenance tasks for vehicles that have traveled a certain mileage. Secondary Maintenance (approximately 10,000 kilometers): This refers to inspection and adjustment-centered maintenance tasks for vehicles that have traveled a certain mileage. The scope of maintenance includes, in addition to the tasks of primary maintenance, inspecting and adjusting the working condition of the engine and electrical equipment, dismantling and cleaning the oil pan and oil filter, inspecting and adjusting the steering and braking mechanisms, dismantling and cleaning the front and rear wheel hub bearings, adding lubricating oil, dismantling and inspecting tires, and performing tire rotation. The purpose is to maintain the good working performance of all vehicle components, mechanisms, and assemblies, ensuring their normal operation between two secondary maintenance intervals. Tertiary Maintenance (approximately 20,000 kilometers): This involves disassembly, cleaning, inspection, adjustment, and elimination of hidden hazards as the core maintenance tasks for vehicles. The scope of maintenance includes, in addition to all tasks of primary and secondary maintenance, dismantling and inspecting the engine to remove carbon deposits, gum deposits, and cooling system contaminants; dismantling, cleaning, inspecting, adjusting, and eliminating hidden hazards for chassis assemblies as needed; and inspecting or derusting and repainting the frame and body. The purpose is to consolidate the normal performance of all assemblies and components, ensuring their proper operation.

Where is the air filter located in the Honda CR-V?

It is located on the right side of the engine compartment. The commonly used air filters in engines mainly include the inertial oil-bath air filter, the paper dry-type air filter, and the polyurethane filter element air filter. Inertial Oil-Bath Air Filter: It undergoes three stages of filtration: inertial filtration, oil-bath filtration, and filter-type filtration. The latter two types of air filters mainly rely on the filter element for filtration. The inertial oil-bath air filter has advantages such as low intake resistance, adaptability to dusty and sandy working environments, and a long service life. It was previously used in various models of cars and tractor engines. However, this type of air filter has drawbacks such as low filtration efficiency, heavy weight, high cost, and inconvenient maintenance, and has gradually been phased out in automotive engines. Paper Dry-Type Air Filter: Made from resin-treated microporous filter paper, the filter paper is porous, loose, and folded, with certain mechanical strength and water resistance. It offers advantages such as high filtration efficiency, simple structure, light weight, low cost, and easy maintenance, making it the most widely used air filter in automobiles today. Polyurethane Filter Element Air Filter: The filter element is made of soft, porous, sponge-like polyurethane with strong adsorption capabilities. This type of air filter shares the advantages of the paper dry-type air filter but has lower mechanical strength and is widely used in passenger car engines. The drawbacks of the latter two types of air filters are their relatively short service life and unreliability under harsh environmental conditions.

How to Repair a Non-Functional Cigarette Lighter in Haval H6?

To fix a non-functional cigarette lighter in Haval H6, you need to replace either the cigarette lighter or its fuse. The steps for disassembling and assembling the cigarette lighter are as follows: 1. Unscrew the Shell: For some cars, the cigarette lighter socket has a screwed-on shell at the back, which can be unscrewed by turning it counterclockwise and then clockwise. 2. Remove Screws: Some cigarette lighter sockets are secured with screws at the back. Simply use a wrench to remove these screws to detach the socket, and then screw them back in. 3. Remove the Panel: The panel covering the gear shift lever is held by plastic clips. You can pry one side open by hand or with a flat-head screwdriver to remove the entire panel. 4. Remove Panel Screws: After removing the gear shift lever panel, the cigarette lighter panel door will open automatically. You will then see two black screws that can be removed using an M4 hex wrench. 5. Remove the Panel Box: Pull the plastic box of the cigarette lighter panel out by hand. When it's about 10 cm out, disconnect the wiring before pulling the entire box out. 6. Operate the Inner and Outer Rings: The cigarette lighter consists of an outer and an inner ring. Press the inner ring in to use it. Once it reaches a certain temperature, the inner ring will automatically pop back to its original position, at which point you can pull it out by holding the outer ring.

When was the China III vehicle standard implemented?

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China, starting from July 1, 2008, the China Phase III emission standard was implemented for vehicles with a maximum total mass of 3500kg as approved by the National Development and Reform Commission's vehicle model announcement. Therefore, the China III standard came into effect on July 1, 2008. More details about China III: 1. The China III standard refers to the third phase of China's vehicle emission standards. 2. The national third-phase emission standard is equivalent to the European Euro III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is equivalent to Euro III. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system.

What Should the Tire Pressure Be?

Tire pressure is generally normal between 2.2―2.5 kPa. In spring, when the temperature is around 20°C, the tire pressure should be maintained at 2.3-2.5 kPa. However, as the temperature and road surface temperature gradually increase, especially during high-speed or long-distance driving, the tire pressure can easily rise, increasing the risk of a blowout. In summer, road surface temperatures can reach 60-70°C. If the tire pressure is too high while driving, even a slight impact on a weak spot of the tire can easily cause a blowout. Here are some details about tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—its damage can lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the blood pressure of the car, and its level plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. 2. Air pressure is the lifeline of the tire—both too high and too low will shorten the tire's lifespan. Low pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, making it prone to cracks on the sidewalls and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. High pressure, on the other hand, overextends the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the car while driving. In case of impact, it can cause internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates wear on the tire tread and reduces its resistance to punctures.
