New cars require maintenance after 3 months. The first maintenance for a new car is typically recommended within 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. Precautions during the break-in period of a new car include: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It's best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full capacity during the break-in period can damage components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. Avoid long-distance driving: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous operation time of the engine, which can easily lead to component wear.

What to Do About Scratches on the Tire Sidewall?

Solutions for scratches on the tire sidewall are as follows: 1. If the scratch on the tire sidewall is not severe and has not damaged the tire's cord layer, it may not be a big issue even if left unrepaired. 2. Of course, if you're still concerned, you can go directly to an auto repair shop to patch the damaged area and redo the wheel balancing. A properly patched tire will perform almost as well as before the scratch. 3. However, if the scratch has reached the cord layer inside the sidewall, the tire should generally be scrapped immediately to avoid potential safety hazards. In summary, scratches on the tire sidewall directly impact driving safety and should never be ignored.

Mazda CX4 has a ground clearance of 206mm when unloaded, which meets the ground clearance standard for compact SUVs. Generally, SUVs have higher ground clearance to provide better off-road capability and passing performance. Sedans or high-performance cars are usually used on urban paved roads, so they have lower ground clearance for better stability. The dimensions of the Mazda CX4 are 4637mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1524mm in height.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Stall Automatically?

Motorcycle automatic stalling is caused by: issues with the sensor or intake system, requiring inspection and repair at a professional service shop. The four-stroke engine of a motorcycle operates through four cycles: 1. Intake stroke: The intake valve opens, and the piston moves downward to draw in the combustible air-fuel mixture; 2. Compression stroke: Both intake and exhaust valves close, and the piston moves upward to compress the combustible mixture; 3. Power stroke: Both intake and exhaust valves remain closed, and the spark plug ignites the combustible mixture, causing it to burn and push the piston downward, thereby generating power; 4. Exhaust stroke: The exhaust valve opens, and the piston moves upward to expel the combustion byproducts. The four-stroke engine continuously cycles through these four strokes during operation, requiring both fuel and air to function. Without air, the engine will stall.
