Winter car maintenance methods are introduced as follows: 1. Wiper Blades and Windshield: Due to weather conditions, wiper blades often freeze to the windshield in winter. Do not force them off; instead, turn on the car's air conditioning, set it to blow air towards the windshield to raise its temperature. This also helps check if the heating system is functioning properly. Regularly clean the heating system to ensure good air quality inside the car. 2. Body and Chassis: The car's exterior inevitably gets damaged while driving, or even when parked. In winter, with rain and snow, the car's exterior is prone to corrosion. Roads are often salted to quickly melt snow, and the tires can splash saltwater onto the chassis, causing rust. Therefore, before winter arrives, thoroughly inspect the car's body, promptly repair any scratches, and apply wax in early winter to protect the paint. A waxed body is less likely to get damp, and ice formation on the car's surface will be significantly reduced. Also, perform rust-proof maintenance on the vehicle's chassis to extend its lifespan.

Is after-sales service at 4S stores nationwide universal?

In theory, purchasing a car from any authorized dealer nationwide entitles the owner to enjoy the warranty provided by the manufacturer and the three-guarantee policy offered by the state, with no explicit statement indicating that claims cannot be made. This means that if a car is purchased at a 4S store, it can be serviced at any 4S store of the same brand during the warranty period. Below is more related information: Car warranty period: 1. The car warranty period refers to the time frame during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues when selling the product to consumers. 2. Currently, most car manufacturers implement a new vehicle warranty period of "two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first." This means there are two conditions for the warranty period: one is a time limit of two years, and the other is a mileage limit of 60,000 kilometers. Once either of these conditions is met, the vehicle's warranty period is considered expired, and normal maintenance and repairs will no longer be free. 3. During the warranty period, not all repair costs are waived; it depends on the free items specified by the manufacturer within the warranty period. Usually, relevant descriptions can be found in the owner's manual and the after-sales service departments of various car 4S stores. Therefore, owners are advised to carefully read the manual to avoid unnecessary expenses during the warranty period.

How to Fix Rapid Turn Signal Blinking?

Check and repair methods are as follows: 1. Flasher relay damage: First, check if the flasher relay is functioning properly. Use a multimeter to measure the output line of the flasher relay to see if there is a 12v output. If there is an intermittent output change, it indicates normal operation. If there is no output or a constant 12v output, it means the flasher relay is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one. 2. Poor bulb contact: If you have some DIY skills, you can check the bulb and its socket for poor contact. Poor contact can naturally cause rapid blinking, so make sure to reinstall it securely. 3. Bulb filament burnout: Of course, it could also be due to the bulb filament burning out. Over time, aging is normal, which can cause the turn signal to malfunction. In this case, promptly replace it with a new bulb.
