Engine maintenance is recommended every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. The maintenance interval also depends on the type of oil used. For ordinary mineral oil, it's every 5,000 kilometers, while for better semi-synthetic oil, it can be extended to around 7,000 kilometers. Key points of engine maintenance: 1. Use the appropriate grade of engine oil and change the oil and filter regularly; 2. Maintain the air filter frequently and replace it periodically; 3. Clean the fuel system regularly and replace the fuel filter; 4. Maintain the radiator mesh regularly; 5. Replace spark plugs periodically. Essential maintenance tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter. Regular car maintenance should include frequent car washing, and key areas to check regularly are tire surface and pressure, oil level, coolant level, and brake fluid level.

What are the warning lights on the Foton truck dashboard?

Foton has many models, and the dashboard warning lights may vary depending on the model. Below is a detailed introduction to some of the dashboard warning lights: 1. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: This light indicates whether the engine oil pressure is normal. If it lights up while driving, the vehicle should not continue to operate. Continuing to drive may cause severe damage to the engine. 2. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light: This light will illuminate if the coolant temperature is too high or too low. It appears blue when the temperature is too low and red when it is too high. In some vehicles, instead of a warning light, there is a temperature gauge on the dashboard where the needle moves up or down with the coolant temperature. 3. Seat Belt Reminder Light: Most models nowadays are equipped with a seat belt reminder light. It is depicted as a small red figure with a band across the chest, resembling a figure holding a sword. The light will turn off once the seat belt is fastened or when exiting the vehicle.

What is the Reverse Gear Letter?

The letter for the car reverse gear is R, which stands for 'reverse' in English, meaning backward direction. When using the R gear in daily driving, it's important to note that you must wait until the car has completely stopped before shifting into R gear. Otherwise, it may cause certain damage to the transmission, and over time, it can affect the car's braking performance. Below is an introduction to the correct usage of the car reverse gear: 1. Manual transmission models: After stopping the vehicle, first press the clutch and brake, then shift into reverse gear, followed by a half-clutch and slight throttle operation. 2. Automatic transmission models: For automatic cars, you need to press the brake pedal and press the safety button on the gear lever or push down the gear shift lever to engage or disengage the R gear. Both P (Park) and N (Neutral) gears can be directly switched to R gear, but when switching between forward gears and R gear, you should pause at the N gear to reduce the impact of reverse oil flow in the transmission during gear shifting.
