How Soon Should the First Maintenance Be After Buying a New Car?

Different car manufacturers specify varying maintenance intervals for different models, but generally, the first maintenance is recommended at either 3,000 or 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the first car maintenance: The first maintenance typically involves changing the engine oil and oil filter. It includes checking the engine's working condition, such as whether all pipe connections are normal, if there are any leakage points, whether the engine sounds normal during operation, and if there are any abnormal noises. The inspection also covers the wear level of brake pads and tires, and after lifting the vehicle, checking the chassis for any deformation or damage caused by impacts. The purpose of changing the engine oil is to ensure better lubrication for the engine, as the lubricating effect of the oil deteriorates over time, necessitating its replacement.

How to Remove the Spare Tire of Volkswagen Tharu?

Method to remove the spare tire of Volkswagen Tharu: First, open the tailgate of the trunk, and the spare tire to be used is located under the trunk cover panel; then manually pry out the cover panel, followed by removing the subwoofer connecting pin and setting it aside. Finally, take out the tire removal tools to remove the spare tire. Below are precautions for using the spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long-distance trips, few car owners inspect the spare tire, and some unprofessional repair shops often overlook this. Spare tire inspection mainly involves checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible once the tread wear reaches the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, do not use it for long-distance or high-speed driving, as the sidewall is relatively thin, making it prone to blowouts at high speeds. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is most vulnerable to erosion by various oil products. Car owners often store lubricants and other oil products in the trunk. Once these oils come into contact with the tire, they can cause swelling and corrosion, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. If the tire is contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. After a blowout, some car owners may want to replace it with the spare tire, only to find that the spare tire has severely aged after years of storage and is no longer usable. Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging, typically around 4 years. Therefore, the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.

How to Adjust the Headlight Height of a Car?

The following is the working principle of headlight height adjustment: 1. Manual adjustment: A sliding rheostat is used to adjust the motor for height. The driver can adjust the angle of the light via the light knob under the car dashboard according to the driving route conditions. 2. Automatic adjustment: The height position sensor inputs a signal, which is converted into a voltage signal through an algorithm, and the headlight control module drives the motor to adjust the headlights. There are corresponding sensors inside the car that can automatically detect the dynamic balance of the car during driving. 3. A few car models do not have the headlight height adjustment function, hence no headlight height adjustment button. The headlight height can be fine-tuned by adjusting the micro-knob on the headlight assembly.

What are the precautions for each item in Subject 3 of the driving test?

Below are the precautions for the Subject 3 driving test: 1. The clutch should only be used during starting, shifting up, shifting down, and stopping. Avoid pressing the clutch during normal driving. When slightly slowing down for situations, only use the brake to prevent coasting in neutral. 2. The traffic light will flash several times before changing from green to red. At this point, based on the distance to the intersection and the vehicle speed, press the accelerator if the distance is short and the speed hasn't dropped. 3. After completing the road test for Subject 3, when the examiner gives the "pull over and stop" command, stop decisively as long as it's not at an intersection or on a solid line. 4. Upon hearing the command, assess the road conditions. If there are no solid lines or you're too close to the intersection, quickly turn on the right signal, check the rearview mirror, brake to slow down, and merge. Position the car slightly to the right of the road center, steer left, and press the clutch when the car can coast to straighten out. Finally, straighten the wheels to the right and stop.

What Causes Brake Lock-Up?

Brake lock-up causes: If a car is not equipped with ABS, when the brakes are applied too forcefully while driving, the wheels rapidly decelerate. If the braking force exceeds the friction between the tires and the road surface, brake lock-up occurs. More details are as follows: 1. Hazards of wheel lock-up: If the front wheels lock up, the car loses steering capability since steering relies on the front wheels. This can easily lead to accidents due to inertial forward sliding. If the rear wheels lock up, skidding occurs, which is also a very dangerous situation. 2. Solutions: Brake lock-up is primarily caused by sudden braking, so drivers should avoid abrupt braking in daily driving to eliminate the root cause of wheel lock-up. Additionally, installing an ABS system can effectively prevent wheel lock-up. ABS is an anti-lock braking system now commonly installed in most vehicles.
