After the car's warranty period expires, it is not recommended to go to a 4S shop for maintenance because the cost is too high. However, during the warranty period, it is still advisable to go to a 4S shop for maintenance, as quality issues with the car are quite common. Quality issues are not something you can control, and you may not be clear about which issues fall under quality problems. During the warranty period, if you go to a 4S shop for maintenance, any repairs caused by quality issues will be free of charge. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: Appearance check: Before driving, check the doors, hood, trunk, and glass condition, inspect the body for damage, whether the body is tilted, and if there are any oil or water leaks. Engine and various fluids: Check the fixation of engine components, inspect the engine's joints for oil or water leaks. Check and adjust the tightness of belts, inspect the fixation of various pipes and wires. Check and top up engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte. Tires:

Can You Drive with a Shattered Rear Windshield?

Can You Drive with a Shattered Rear Windshield? You can drive at low speeds, but avoid high-speed driving as it poses significant risks. Introduction to Windshields: Most vehicle windshields are laminated, consisting of an inner layer of tempered glass and an outer layer of laminated glass. If cracks appear only on the outer laminated layer, they can be repaired. Side and rear windows are made of tempered glass, which shatters entirely upon impact and is difficult to repair. Precautions for a Shattered Windshield: If cracks appear on the windshield surface, it is recommended to replace it. Front and rear windshields are particularly vulnerable during regular use. Stones kicked up at high speeds can easily crack the front windshield, so avoid driving behind semi-trailers or trucks when frequently traveling on highways.

How many kilowatt-hours does an electric motorcycle consume per hour of charging?

An electric motorcycle consumes 0.5-1 kilowatt-hour per hour of charging. Electric vehicle charging time: Most chargers have a charging current of 1 to 1.5A, which means the power consumption during charging is 50-100 watts. If the charging duration is 10 hours, the electricity consumption will be between 0.5-1 kilowatt-hours, which is relatively economical. Electric vehicle charging precautions: To protect the battery from overcharging, it is generally recommended not to exceed 10 hours of charging time. When charging the battery, if more than half of its capacity remains, controlling the charging duration to 5-8 hours can effectively extend the battery's lifespan. It is best to charge as you use it. If the vehicle is not needed for a long time, it is also advisable to charge it regularly.

What unit can a sedan travel 70 per hour?

A sedan can travel 70 kilometers per hour, and the distance it travels per hour is called speed, which can be written as 70 km/h. Definition of speed: It can be understood that the distance traveled per hour is called speed; then, according to the representation method of speed, it is separated by a slash, with the distance traveled per unit time written on the left side of the slash and the time unit written on the right side. Based on this, the speed of the car can be written and read out. Method for judging speed: The distance from the car in front is determined by visually estimating the area of the front part of the vehicle blocking the rear part of the car in front. Different car models have different front views, so the standards for judging the distance from the car in front vary depending on the car model. It needs to be determined according to the actual situation of your own vehicle, but the judgment method is consistent.

Do I need to turn on AC when using the heater?

You don't need to turn on AC when using the heater. Because what you need in winter is warm air, which is hot air. Function of the heater: It generates heat by converting the heat from the coolant in the engine. For new energy vehicles, the heat is provided by a heating module. AC is the air conditioning cooling button. Pressing this button will start the air conditioning compressor. On some models, the indicator light on the button will illuminate, while others will display a prompt on the central control screen. Precautions for using the heater: During winter use of the air conditioning, since most vehicles now use automatic air conditioning, you may notice that the AC function is automatically activated after turning on the air conditioning. The reason for this is that when the driver sets the air outlet direction to the windshield, the defrosting function will be activated.

Is it necessary to repair scratches on the bottom of the bumper?

It is not necessary to repair scratches on the bottom of the bumper. The bumper itself is made of plastic, so when it gets scratched, even if the primer is exposed, it will not cause the paint to rust. Toothpaste repair method: When the front bumper is scratched, using toothpaste for repair is very effective because toothpaste itself has a polishing function, which is equivalent to applying a layer of wax to your car, thus achieving a good repair effect. Touch-up paint pen repair method: Using a touch-up paint pen can cover up some small and shallow scratches, making the marks less noticeable. Although there is still a certain gap compared to the original factory paint (color difference), and the durability is certainly not comparable to the original factory paint—after all, the touch-up pen is only for local paint repair—the overall effect is still relatively good.
