New car maintenance includes the following aspects: 1. Tire maintenance. Tire maintenance is very important because the car's tires and rims are the most prone to dirt. Before cleaning the tires, prepare a brush with a long handle. Do not use the brush on chrome-plated mirror surfaces to avoid leaving obvious scratches. If the tires are not too dirty, general cleaning agents can be used. If there is too much dirt on the tires, professional cleaning agents should be purchased for cleaning. 2. Car paint maintenance. The effect of glaze sealing usually lasts between 3 months to half a year, while coating lasts more than half a year. It is recommended to perform a second glaze sealing or coating after a certain period to reduce the frequency of car washing. Try to avoid waxing and polishing the car. Promptly remove corrosive substances like bird droppings. The car should be parked in a place where it is not exposed to prolonged sunlight, especially white cars. Avoid directly wiping the car surface with a duster or dry cloth. It is recommended to rinse off the dust with water first and then wipe it clean with a clean absorbent cloth. Do not let the car air dry naturally after rinsing. 3. Car interior maintenance. Regularly visit a 4S shop for maintenance of the carpet, shoe marks on the lower side of the inner door panels, dashboard, and ceiling. Strictly follow the three-step process of dust removal, cleaning, and maintenance to thoroughly clean and maintain the dashboard, ceiling, seats, floor mats, and inner door panels. 4. Check the oil level. The oil level can be checked using the dipstick. If the oil level is between the F and L marks, it is within the normal range. If it is below L, it indicates that the specified type of oil should be added. After adding oil, the oil level should preferably not exceed the F mark. 5. Check for leaks. If the brake fluid is close to or below the lower limit, it may indicate a leak in the system or excessive wear of the brake pads. Promptly visit a repair shop for inspection and repair.

What is the difference between beam wipers and conventional wipers?

The difference between beam wipers and conventional wipers lies in the material and the wiping effect. Material difference: Beam wipers use stainless steel as the connecting material, making them lightweight, easy to install, and quieter during use, but they are slightly more expensive. Conventional wipers are made of iron, which is harder and less prone to deformation during use, but they produce more noise, have a longer lifespan, and are lower in cost. Wiping effect: Beam wipers, without the support of a frame, provide better contact with the windshield and more even pressure and wear distribution, resulting in superior wiping performance. Conventional wipers, supported by a frame, are more effective at removing debris from the windshield, especially larger particles, ensuring efficient impurity removal.

Can a temporary ID card be used for the Subject 4 driving test?

Temporary ID cards can be used for the Subject 4 driving test, as they hold the same legal validity as regular ID cards. Applicants can obtain a temporary ID card on the same day by visiting any public security bureau, submitting their household registration booklet, a recent one-inch black-and-white photo without a hat, and paying the document processing fee. Subject 4 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination, which separates the safety and civilized driving requirements from the original Subject 1, including safe driving skills in complex conditions and emergency handling knowledge. It is conducted after the Subject 3 road test to further assess the candidate's traffic awareness and competency.

What are the hazards of parking with wheels not straightened?

The hazards of parking with wheels not straightened: 1. Accelerated aging of the steering tie rod. The tie rod remains under force for a long time and cannot return to its original position, leading to accelerated aging over time; 2. Accelerated aging of the power steering pump. When the hydraulic power steering system's pump pushes oil for steering but lacks a return oil action, it causes negative pressure in the pump, which over time accelerates its aging; 3. The suspension will tilt towards the direction the wheels are not straightened, causing accelerated wear on the soft-support rubber pads and bushings; 4. Increased force on the tire sidewalls leads to accelerated wear, which over time can result in dangerous situations like tire blowouts.

What does an exclamation mark inside a Skoda bulb mean?

An exclamation mark inside a Skoda bulb is the bulb failure warning light, indicating that one of the car's bulbs is damaged.

The lights on a car include headlights, brake lights, turn signals, width indicators, fog lights, etc., and these lights are crucial for the car's driving safety.
