It is not mandatory to go to the designated 4S store. You can take your vehicle for maintenance at any repair shop, which will not have any impact on the normal maintenance of the vehicle. However, performing maintenance at a 4S store can slightly improve the resale value of the vehicle when it is sold. Relevant information about the first maintenance of a vehicle is as follows: 1. The requirement for the first maintenance is to go to the 4S store for service at the specified mileage or time. 2. For maintenance, you need to bring the vehicle's driving license and the user manual, as the maintenance form is included in the user manual. 3. After completing the maintenance, the after-sales service personnel at the 4S store will tear off the maintenance form and report it to the manufacturer to claim the cost, as the first maintenance fee is covered by the manufacturer.

How to Eliminate the Illuminated Malfunction Indicator Light?

Methods to eliminate the illuminated engine malfunction light: Start and turn off the vehicle three times consecutively, or disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it. It should be noted that when the engine malfunction light is illuminated, it cannot be manually eliminated. Typically, you need to visit a 4S shop to use a fault detection device for troubleshooting before it can be eliminated. The methods mentioned above only apply to false malfunctions in the engine. If they are ineffective, you will need to go to a 4S shop for elimination. The function of the car engine malfunction indicator light is to display the working condition of the engine. When the car starts and performs a self-check, the engine malfunction light will illuminate. If the engine is normal, the engine malfunction indicator light will automatically turn off after the car starts. If there is a malfunction in the engine, it will remain illuminated. In such cases, the illumination of the engine malfunction indicator light may be due to poor fuel quality or carbon deposits inside the engine. In these situations, it is necessary to identify the cause before proceeding with repairs.

Can a 4S Shop Detect Odometer Tampering?

4S shops can detect odometer tampering. They can check whether the odometer has been tampered with based on repair and maintenance records and professional diagnostic computers. Additionally, for vehicles with automatic transmissions, diagnostic computers can be used to examine the transmission mileage to determine if the odometer has been altered. Here is some additional information: 1. Odometer tampering is common: Odometer tampering is a frequently encountered phenomenon in the used car market. Many used car buyers place significant importance on a vehicle's mileage, which leads to the occurrence of odometer tampering. Tampering with the odometer is relatively simple to accomplish. Even if you don't have professional equipment, you can easily get it done by visiting an auto repair shop for a few dozen dollars in just a few minutes. Most tampering can be done by connecting a diagnostic computer to the OBD interface. However, some vehicle models require specialized diagnostic computers that are specific to the brand, such as German-branded cars, which need their own brand-specific diagnostic tools. 2. Maintenance condition and usage environment are more important: When purchasing a used car, don't focus too much on the vehicle's mileage. What's more important than the mileage is the car's maintenance condition and its usual operating environment. For example, take two cars of the same model, both five years old. One has been used daily in congested urban areas and has traveled 50,000 kilometers. The other has been used primarily on highways and has traveled 150,000 kilometers. Between these two cars, the latter's engine and transmission conditions are likely to be better, and the engine wear is likely to be less than the former's. Therefore, when buying a used car, it's essential to carefully evaluate the vehicle. The mileage will affect the car's price.

What car brand does the double R emblem represent?

The double R emblem represents Rolls-Royce, a luxury car brand from the United Kingdom. The double R logo stands for the initials of its two founders, Charles Stewartrolls-Rolles and Henry Royce. Rolls-Royce adheres to the philosophy of "Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it." Here is some information about Rolls-Royce: 1. The famous Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament was inspired by a 2,000-year-old statue of the Winged Victory of Samothrace in the Louvre Museum in Paris. When automobile art master Charles Sykes was commissioned to design the emblem for Rolls-Royce, he incorporated the Winged Victory into his creative inspiration. Thus, a graceful goddess with outstretched arms and flowing robes emerged, officially becoming the Rolls-Royce emblem in 1911. 2. Rolls-Royce was officially established in the UK in 1906. In 1907, it launched its first car, the Silver Ghost, which was hailed as "the best car in the world." In 1997, the Rolls-Royce Group announced the sale of the Rolls-Royce brand, and in 1998, German automaker BMW acquired Rolls-Royce. 3. The Rolls-Royce Phantom was the first product launched after BMW's acquisition of Rolls-Royce. Thanks to its all-aluminum body design, the massive car weighs less than 2.5 tons. Paired with a 6.7L V12 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Phantom accelerates from 0-100 km/h in under 6 seconds. 4. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the brand's first SUV model. Externally, the Cullinan resembles a taller Phantom, but the company prefers to refer to it as a "high-bodied vehicle" and an "all-terrain vehicle."
