Car maintenance should include changing the oil and oil filter, washing the car regularly, and frequently checking the tire surface and pressure, oil level, coolant level, and brake fluid level. Car maintenance, also known as car servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc., with the purpose of keeping the car clean, maintaining normal technical conditions, eliminating potential hazards, preventing faults, and extending the service life. Car maintenance is divided into minor maintenance and major maintenance. Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine maintenance items performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage to ensure vehicle performance, mainly including oil and oil filter replacement. Major maintenance refers to the routine maintenance performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage, which includes replacing the oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter.

How to Press the Clutch Slowly and Steadily?

The method to press the clutch slowly and steadily is as follows: First, you need to master the correct posture for pressing the car clutch. Use your heel as a pivot and place the ball of your foot on the pedal. When pressing the clutch pedal, do it all the way down in one motion. When releasing the clutch pedal, the movement should be slow. While driving, there's no need to keep your left foot on the clutch pedal at all times; you can place it directly on the floor. This allows you to observe road conditions better and respond promptly in emergencies. During driving, pressing the clutch must be done quickly. After shifting gears appropriately, release the clutch slowly to avoid jerking. When downshifting, first reduce the speed by pressing the brake until the speed is within a certain range, then quickly press the clutch to change gears and slowly release the clutch.

Can the Engine Automatically Shut Off After Leaving with One-Button Start?

One-button start vehicles cannot automatically shut off the engine after the owner leaves. Below are specific reasons why the one-button start fails to detect the key: Battery Depletion: For cars with batteries older than 2 years or those parked for extended periods, you can check for battery depletion using a multimeter. Generally, the voltage should be around 12V when not in use and above 10V during ignition to rule out battery issues. Poor Fuse Contact: Lightly tap the fuse box; if the engine starts, it indicates poor fuse contact. Starter Motor Failure: If the battery has power but no sound is heard from the starter motor when pressing the ignition button, it might be a starter motor failure, requiring replacement at a repair shop.

How much pressure is required for the cylinder?

Cylinder working pressure is approximately 0.6 MPa, which equals 6 kilograms per square centimeter. If the cylinder pressure becomes unbalanced, it may cause engine knocking and power loss in the vehicle. In severe cases, it could even lead to complete engine failure. About cylinders: Cylinders are mainly divided into two categories - reciprocating linear type and reciprocating swing type. The reciprocating linear cylinders can be further classified into single-acting cylinders, double-acting cylinders, diaphragm cylinders, and double-impact cylinders. Conditions for cylinder pressure testing: 1. Ensure the vehicle battery has sufficient charge before testing, otherwise it may cause excessively low engine RPM leading to stalling in manual transmission vehicles; 2. Maintain the engine at normal operating temperature, as excessively high engine temperature will increase pressure within the engine cylinders.
