According to relevant regulations, generally, 4S shops can provide warranty services. If maintenance has been performed outside a 4S shop and you wish to enjoy the three-guarantee service, you need to provide a series of relevant materials from the maintenance and repair shop, including the shop's maintenance qualifications, material list, repair items, quality inspection sheet, duplicate of the completion and factory qualification certificate, and purchase proof. Here is some relevant information about 4S shop warranty services: 1. The national three-guarantee policy does not clearly specify the connection between not performing maintenance at a 4S shop and the three-guarantee service. The three-guarantee policy states that as long as maintenance is performed according to the manufacturer's requirements, the warranty will not be voided, and any quality issues during the three-guarantee period can be covered by the three-guarantee service. 2. If a part unrelated to maintenance fails, there is no problem enjoying the three-guarantee service. However, in actual practice, if other warranted components, such as the engine, develop issues and the maintenance during the warranty period was not performed at a 4S shop, claiming the three-guarantee service can be somewhat troublesome.

What does the speed ratio of a car mean?

The speed ratio of a car refers to the transmission ratio, which is the ratio of the rotational speeds between the front and rear transmission mechanisms in the vehicle's drivetrain. There are two types of transmission ratios in a car's drivetrain: the speed ratio of the main transmission (final drive) and the speed ratio of the gearbox. In the same vehicle model, the speed ratio of the main transmission is a fixed value, while the speed ratio of the gearbox varies depending on the gear used. The speed ratio data for various types of vehicles can be found in the vehicle performance manual. When the minimum transmission ratio is too small, the car will operate under heavy load, resulting in poor acceleration and possible noise and vibration. Conversely, if the minimum transmission ratio is too large, fuel economy will suffer, and the engine will produce more noise at high speeds.

What to Do When the Car Battery Dies?

Methods to deal with a dead car battery: 1. Use a portable car emergency power bank to start the car: Compared to a car emergency jump starter, a portable car emergency power bank is much cheaper, compact, easy to carry, and can also charge mobile phones or other electronic devices; 2. Push-start the car: Before pushing, the drivers of both vehicles should agree on communication signals to coordinate their actions; 3. Use a car emergency power supply: You can keep an emergency power supply in your car, so you don't have to wait for help from another vehicle when the battery dies. Additionally, this emergency power supply can serve multiple purposes, such as cooking, boiling water, and lighting.

Does a new car need a break-in period?

New cars do require a break-in period, as the quality of this phase directly impacts the vehicle's lifespan. Key considerations during the new car break-in period include: 1. Always warm up the engine before driving; 2. Observe speed limits - domestic cars should generally stay between 40-70 km/h, while imported vehicles should remain under 100 km/h; 3. Maintain engine RPM between 2,000-2,500 during operation, shift gears promptly and appropriately, avoid high-gear low-RPM or low-gear high-RPM driving, and don't use a single gear for extended periods; 4. Keep loads below 75% of maximum capacity during break-in, always staying under the specified weight/passenger limit and never exceeding it; 5. Avoid sudden braking during break-in as emergency stops may affect the braking system and place excessive strain on the engine.

Which direction should car tire bolts be turned when loosening?

When removing car tire bolts, they should be turned counterclockwise. It's important to pay attention to the direction when taking off the tire: counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. After that, be cautious when using the jack. Make sure to place the jack into the designated slots on both sides under the car to prevent accidents. Car tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, as they directly contact the road surface and work together with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring a comfortable ride and smooth driving experience. They also provide good traction between the wheels and the road, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities. Additionally, tires bear the weight of the car, and their crucial role in vehicle performance is increasingly recognized.
