The use of break-in additive during the first maintenance is optional. Below are the key aspects of a car's first maintenance: 1. Air Filter: The engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. Without filtration, dust in the air can accelerate wear on the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can even cause severe "cylinder scoring." The air filter's role is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient, clean air enters the cylinder. 2. Fuel Filter: The fuel filter provides the engine with clean fuel by filtering out water and impurities from gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and offers the best protection for the engine. During car maintenance, technicians will perform additional checks based on the vehicle's condition and may include other maintenance items, such as inspection and cleaning of engine-related systems, tire alignment checks, and examination of various fastening components.

The Most Damaging Behaviors for Automatic Transmission Cars

The most damaging behaviors for automatic transmission cars are not towing the vehicle randomly when it has a malfunction and not shifting into P gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Below are detailed explanations of these behaviors: 1. Do not tow the vehicle randomly when it has a malfunction: When the car breaks down and needs to be towed, the automatic transmission cannot be shifted into neutral like a manual transmission, which can damage the transmission. After a malfunction occurs, the transmission oil pump cannot operate, and the components lack lubrication and cooling. When the vehicle is being towed, the transmission is still in operation, which can cause damage. Before towing, it is essential to determine whether the car is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive. In any case, avoid towing the drive wheels of an automatic transmission car. 2. Do not shift into P gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop: When stopping the car, first engage the handbrake to allow the force to be partially absorbed by the handbrake. Shifting directly into P gear puts all the force on the transmission, and if the car is hit by external factors while parked, it may cause internal damage to the transmission.

Is placing a warning sign at 150 meters practical?

Placing a warning sign at 150 meters is a regulatory requirement. Here is an introduction to warning signs: 1. Overview: A warning sign is a standard emergency equipment on vehicles, typically triangular in shape, hence also known as a triangular warning sign, used in special circumstances. 2. Requirements: Warning signs must strictly comply with the "Road Traffic Safety Law," made of plastic reflective materials as passive reflectors. 3. Principle: The principle is that when a driver encounters a sudden traffic accident on the road, the reflective properties of the warning sign are used to alert other vehicles to avoid, thereby preventing secondary accidents.

What does the car PTC switch mean?

PTC switch in a car refers to the car heater switch. 1. Introduction: Temperature PTC can be used as a ceramic heating element for car startup in low-temperature conditions. We can design it into different structural forms such as tubular and flat-plate types, which results in the full utilization of the heat efficiency generated by PTC. 2. Function: It is generally directly fixed on the inner wall of the vaporization chamber, where it directly heats the gasoline inside the vaporization chamber, rapidly increasing its temperature. This improves the fuel combustion and vaporization effect, which not only helps the car to start normally in low-temperature environments but also reduces pollution caused by car exhaust emissions and decreases fuel consumption.

What Causes Water Dripping Under the Car's Front Passenger Seat?

Water leakage under the front passenger seat of a car is likely caused by door leakage. Here are specific explanations for water leakage under the front passenger seat: 1. Open the sunroof: The initial blockage of the sunroof drain hole usually occurs at the entrance, which can be seen when the sunroof is opened. At this stage, it's relatively easy to clean; simply remove the blockage. 2. Clear the drain hole: When opening or closing the door, or while driving, you may hear a noticeable sound of water sloshing, indicating water accumulation inside the door. In this case, just use a thin wire or a small screwdriver to clear the drain hole. Alternatively, the window regulator might need replacement.
