A new car does not have to be serviced at a 4S shop for three years. After the initial maintenance period, you can choose the service location yourself. Maintenance at a 4S shop is relatively safer as they have all the car's records, understand the vehicle well, and have relatively complete parts. If you consistently service and maintain your car at a 4S shop, there will be a complete maintenance record, which serves as a comprehensive health report for the car. If you can ensure that the car does not have quality issues during the warranty period and does not require warranty service, the manufacturer will provide a warranty period for a certain time. If quality issues arise during the warranty period, they will be repaired for free. If you do not follow the manufacturer's requirements to service the car at a 4S shop on time, the warranty will be voided.

What does EST mean on a Volkswagen car?

The EST icon on the car dashboard indicates a problem with the vehicle's stability control system. Automotive Electronic Devices: The vehicle's electronic stability control system is an automotive electronic device that further enhances the anti-lock braking and traction control functions. The stability control system helps maintain the vehicle's stability during driving and better handles various complex road conditions, ensuring driving safety. Functions of the Vehicle Stability Control System: The electronic stability control system includes electronic brake-force distribution and anti-lock braking systems. It adjusts braking force distribution to prevent the rear wheels from locking up first, and typically only fails when there is a hardware malfunction in the module. It prevents wheel lock-up by calculating the vehicle's slip rate and controlling it near the peak adhesion coefficient, which is part of passive safety control.

What is the difference between a 4S store and a dealer?

What is the difference between a 4S store and a dealer? 1. Price: Buying a car from a dealer is cheaper than from a 4S store, and there are fewer additional conditions. When purchasing a car, you can not only go to a 4S store but also buy from some auto trading companies, which usually sell multiple car brands. 2. Supply channels: 4S stores source their cars directly from manufacturers, while auto trading companies purchase from 4S stores. However, auto trading companies will look for 4S stores in other regions where car prices are cheaper. Buying a car from an auto trading company is generally more affordable because their operating costs are lower than those of 4S stores, resulting in cheaper car prices.

Following a taxi: When following a taxi, be prepared for it to pull over at any time to pick up or drop off passengers. 2. Following a learner vehicle: When the vehicle ahead has a learner sign, increase your following distance to prevent sudden braking by the leading vehicle. 3. Following a large truck: When following a large truck loaded with goods, increase your following distance and avoid following for extended periods to prevent hazards from falling cargo and blind spots behind the truck. 4. Following in foggy conditions: When following another vehicle in fog, be alert for sudden braking by the vehicle ahead.

What is the normal temperature gauge reading for the Baojun 310W?

Baojun 310W's normal water temperature is 3 bars or 90 degrees. Engine temperature: The engine temperature is usually sensed by the water temperature sensor, so the normal engine temperature is often associated with the water temperature. Typically, the optimal engine water temperature is 90 degrees, but the temperature varies under different operating conditions. In a cold engine state, it may be around 85 degrees, while in a hot engine state, the water temperature can exceed 100 degrees. Causes of high engine water temperature: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can gradually deplete the coolant in the engine's cooling system, leading to insufficient coolant in the radiator. If the owner fails to promptly inspect, detect, and replenish the coolant, it can easily result in the engine water temperature becoming too high.
