After the car warranty expires, it is not recommended to go to a 4S shop for maintenance. The following is the relevant content: Introduction to specific reasons: After the car warranty expires, there is no need to go to a 4S shop for maintenance because the charges are too high. However, during the warranty period, it is still recommended to go to a 4S shop for maintenance, as quality issues with cars are quite common. Quality issues are not something you can control, and it is not clear 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. Introduction to 4S shops: A 4S shop, fully known as an automobile sales service 4S shop, is a type of automobile sales enterprise that integrates four functions: vehicle sales, spare parts, after-sales service, and information feedback. Automobile 4S franchise stores are invested and built by dealers according to the standards set by automobile manufacturers. The stores have uniform designs inside and outside, with huge investments often exceeding tens of millions, featuring luxury, grandeur, and a comfortable environment. They can only sell a single brand of cars specially authorized by the manufacturer, providing customers with lower prices, more professional technical support, and more in-depth after-sales services. 4S shops and automobile manufacturers together form a car brand alliance, representing the brand culture, reflecting brand value, maintaining brand loyalty, and establishing the brand's reputation and credibility for the automobile manufacturer. Typically, a brand's 4S shops are distributed in a region with only one or a few equally spaced franchise stores, and cross-regional sales are not allowed between the franchise stores.

Why does the 2013 Peugeot 408 have high fuel consumption?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the 2013 Peugeot 408 are as follows: 1. Driving habits: Rapid acceleration and sudden braking in urban driving and speeding can increase fuel consumption by 5% to 30%. Prolonged idling will also increase fuel consumption because the vehicle consumes energy as long as it is running. Driving at a constant speed as much as possible can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. External environment: Road conditions and weather temperature can affect fuel consumption. Generally, flat roads are more fuel-efficient than bumpy roads, straight roads are more fuel-efficient than winding roads, and smooth roads are more fuel-efficient than congested roads. In hot summer weather, air conditioning cooling will consume some fuel. 3. Car maintenance: Car maintenance includes checking tire pressure and cleaning carbon deposits. Regularly check and adjust tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, leading to higher driving resistance and increased fuel consumption. In addition, dirt and grease on the engine surface can affect engine cooling, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
