Replacing spark plugs does not necessarily require going to a 4S shop. If you have some hands-on skills, you can completely replace them yourself. There is no need to visit a 4S shop for such small components, and you can also save on labor costs. To replace spark plugs, you need to prepare the necessary tools, including 10mm, 14mm, and 16mm sockets, a long extension bar, a ratchet wrench, a magnetic rod, a towel, etc. Steps to replace spark plugs: 1. After the engine has completely cooled down, unplug the high-voltage coil connector, then use a 10mm socket to remove the fixing bolts. After removing the high-voltage coil, you can see the spark plug in the cylinder; 2. Depending on the size of the spark plug nut, use a 14mm or 16mm socket with a long extension bar to turn counterclockwise to loosen it. After loosening, use a magnetic rod to pull out the spark plug; 3. Use the magnetic rod to hold the new spark plug and insert it into the hole, then tighten it.

What does the 'set-' on a car mean?

The 'set-' on a car refers to cruise control deceleration, or alternatively, temporarily canceling the cruise control. Pressing 'set' sets the current speed as the cruising speed, and the corresponding button to 'set' is 'res'. The 'res' button also has two meanings: one is to accelerate after setting the cruise control, and the other is to restore the previously set speed after temporarily canceling the cruise control by pressing 'res'. The function of 'set' is that after adjusting the tire pressure of all four tires to the standard pressure, long-press 'set' for three seconds while observing the speedometer; a symbol with an exclamation mark inside brackets will appear. Upon hearing a 'ding' sound, the tire pressure of all four tires will be calibrated according to the adjustments made.
