100,000 kilometers is considered mid-life for a car. However, after reaching this mileage, many minor issues often start to appear, making regular maintenance essential. Overview of car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain components of a vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. Currently, car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other related systems. The purpose of car maintenance: The goal of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and in good technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the vehicle's service life.

What is the engine model of the Fista?

The 1.4T version of the Fista uses the G4LD engine model, with a maximum power of 103kW and a maximum torque of 240Nm. The 1.6T version is equipped with the G4FJ engine, delivering a maximum output power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 265Nm. The Fista engine is a domestically produced engine manufactured by Beijing Hyundai. For daily maintenance of the Fista engine, the following methods can be applied: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, bypassing through the relief valve and bringing contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Periodically clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is automotive OBD?

Automotive OBD is the On-Board Diagnostics system, which continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards and will issue an immediate warning if they do. When a system malfunction occurs, the malfunction indicator lamp or check engine warning light will illuminate, while the powertrain control module stores the fault information in memory. Through specific procedures, the fault codes can be read from the PCM. Based on the fault code prompts, maintenance personnel can accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. The OBD interface in vehicles is generally located in the interior trim panel below the steering wheel, near the driver's knee area.

What are the reasons for the engine fault warning light to illuminate?

The reasons for the engine fault warning light to illuminate are: 1. Poor combustion state; 2. Poor fuel quality; 3. Dirty engine cylinder interior with carbon deposits. The engine fault signal on the car dashboard is issued by the ECU (Engine Control Unit), which controls all electronic devices of the entire engine, such as the electronic throttle, fuel injectors, alternator, fuel pump, etc., covering various systems including intake, exhaust, fuel, ignition, and timing. When the engine fault light comes on, the owner should start and turn off the vehicle three times in a row, or disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it.

How to use the car's cruise control?

The method to use the car's cruise control is: First, ensure the vehicle speed is above 40 km/h, then press the on/off button (the middle button). Note that simply activating this function doesn't engage cruise control; you must also press the top button among the three buttons to officially enable the cruise control feature. The cruise control system can only reduce speed by decreasing throttle input, not by applying brakes. Once cruise control is activated, the vehicle will maintain the speed set by the driver automatically without needing to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed.
