Do not use electrical devices for extended periods after turning off the engine. When the battery is used without charging, it enters a "dry consumption" state, which can reduce its capacity and potentially prevent the vehicle from starting. Excessive discharge can cause significant damage to the car battery itself. After turning off the engine, make sure to turn off the lights and unplug any external devices. With the increasing number of external devices in cars, additional electrical equipment adds to the battery's burden. Before turning off the engine, shut down the multimedia and air conditioning systems. If these systems are not turned off, they will automatically activate the next time the vehicle starts, creating an excessive instantaneous power load. Particularly, if the air conditioner is left on, it can lead to prolonged battery drain. Avoid prolonged or frequent ignition attempts. When starting the engine, do not exceed 3 seconds of ignition time. If the engine fails to start, avoid frequent or repeated ignition attempts. Wait for at least 15 seconds before trying again. The above are the methods introduced on how to extend the lifespan of a car battery.

What is the difference between braking and stopping?

Braking, also known as stopping, refers to the action of bringing a moving vehicle, locomotive, or other transportation tool or machinery to a halt or reducing its speed. 1. Two types of braking: Engine braking means releasing the throttle to reduce the engine speed, thereby achieving the purpose of deceleration, while service braking is achieved by stepping on the brake pedal. Under non-emergency conditions, engine braking can reduce the use of brakes and extend the lifespan of brake pads, whereas friction braking relies on friction pads to achieve deceleration. 2. Comparison: Service braking is more efficient in deceleration than engine braking; engine braking results in a slower deceleration process, while service braking can quickly and effectively achieve the goal of deceleration. During long downhill descents, using engine braking can reduce wear on the brake discs. If one always relies on service braking to maintain a constant deceleration during long downhill descents, it will accelerate the wear and tear on the brake discs.

What does it mean when a 4S shop touches up the paint?

4S shop touching up the paint refers to quickly treating scratches, which is a localized paint touch-up without affecting other areas. Below is an extended introduction: Painting environment: 4S shops generally only have a separate paint room, and many even operate outdoors. It is impossible to ensure the cleanliness and consistency of the painting environment. Construction tools: 4S shops only use ordinary spray guns for manual work, and the quality of the painting largely depends on the skill of the workers. Baking method: 4S shops generally use baking lamps for curing. Temperature control is also based solely on experience, usually only a few dozen degrees. At such temperatures, the paint surface cannot cure and cross-link well. Therefore, the paintwork done by 4S shops ages quickly and is prone to color differences.

Do I need to follow when the 4S shop tows my car away?

Towing the car to the 4S shop for repairs does not require the owner to be present; a proxy can handle it instead. If the car is under warranty, bring the warranty manual. If it's out of warranty, bring the maintenance manual. Below is additional information: Introduction to 4S Shops: A 4S shop is a car franchise model centered around the 'four-in-one' concept, encompassing vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey), hence the name 4S shop. Simply put, it's akin to an authorized dealership, uniformly designed by the manufacturer and operated according to the manufacturer's business model. Currently, joint-venture car manufacturers in China have established 4S shops nationwide. These manufacturers supply vehicles and spare parts directly to the 4S shops, which are responsible for sales and providing after-sales services on behalf of the manufacturer. However, 4S shops are not permitted to sell vehicles from other manufacturers.
