Inspect the car's exterior to check if the lighting devices are damaged, if the body is tilted, or if there are any leaks such as oil or water. Check the illumination of all warning lights and indicators to ensure they function properly and turn off as they should. Monitor the fuel gauge and refuel when necessary. Examine the tires for bulges, abnormal wear, aging, or any other damage. Thoroughly clean the interior of the car and remove any unnecessary items from the luggage compartment. Clean debris from the surface of the radiator, oil cooler, and air conditioning radiator. Remove oil stains from the car body and touch up any areas where the paint has peeled off.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, car maintenance is as crucial to me as taking care of a pet. What I prioritize most are daily habits: checking the tire pressure gauge every morning before starting to ensure proper pressure and avoid high-speed blowouts; changing the engine oil every six months or 5,000 kilometers to prevent engine wear; not slacking on car washes—waxing at least every two weeks to prevent rust, and wiping the interior with a soft cloth to keep it clean; driving at a slower pace, avoiding hard acceleration or sudden braking to reduce component wear; cleaning the air conditioning filter every three months to prevent allergen buildup. These small practices add up, extending the car's lifespan and saving unnecessary repair costs. Regular comprehensive check-ups at the service center are also highly effective, especially for brakes and lights, ensuring safety.

What does electromagnetic induction suspension mean?

Electromagnetic induction suspension refers to a type of suspension that utilizes electromagnetic reactions to achieve changes in the height of the vehicle chassis. More information about electromagnetic induction suspension is as follows: 1. During the driving process, electromagnetic induction suspension can react in a short time to suppress vibrations generated by the vehicle, ensuring its stability. 2. The electromagnetic induction suspension system consists of an onboard computer, wheel displacement sensors, electromagnetic hydraulic rods, and straight-tube shock absorbers. A wheel displacement sensor is installed between each wheel and the vehicle body, connected to the onboard computer, which in turn is linked to the electromagnetic hydraulic rods and straight-tube shock absorbers. This combination enhances the efficiency of the suspension. 3. The damping process of electromagnetic induction suspension: When the vehicle encounters uneven road surfaces causing wheel bouncing, the sensors on the wheels quickly transmit signals to the onboard computer, which then issues corresponding commands. This achieves the purpose of controlling the vehicle body and enhances the vehicle's stability.
