The purchase invoice is required for the first maintenance. The items needed for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's registration certificate; vehicle's purchase invoice. Bring these to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's first maintenance. Note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial maintenance after the new car has been driven. The specific time varies by car, usually after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. The car needs to undergo the first maintenance promptly, neither in advance nor delayed. The completion of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time for the first maintenance is calculated based on the date the car was picked up. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first will be the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various oil levels for normalcy, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normalcy, and inspecting tires for damage or bulges. Required time: Completing all tasks takes about 2 hours. The most important aspect of the first maintenance for a new car is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The selection of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle User Maintenance Manual," as different car models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, using water to wash the body and wiping it with a cloth. It is important to note that the interior of the car body should not be directly rinsed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or take them out to brush and clean with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driver's compartment. If water enters, it will not dry but flow through these holes to parts like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. The best practice is to use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is low, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze first and then add the same brand of antifreeze. Since antifreeze brands differ, their chemical properties vary greatly. Various functional additives may corrode others. Different brands of antifreeze use different additives, so they should not be mixed to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function properly again. To prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricant to them, which can pose a safety risk. When the car is driven at high speed, the bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving malfunctions. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a regular car. Its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.

How to Stop the Car When the Brakes Fail?

For manual transmission cars when the brakes fail, use the engine to decelerate by gradually downshifting to lower gears. Do not shift directly from 5th gear to 1st gear; it's best to downshift one gear at a time. For automatic transmission cars when the brakes fail, gradually shift the gear from D to lower gears like 1, and finally use the handbrake or electronic brake button.

What is the material of tires?

Tires are mainly composed of natural rubber or synthetic rubber. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, pressures, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. Characteristics of rubber tires: Rubber has good elasticity, and using rubber for tires can reduce the sense of bumps during driving. However, natural rubber has inherent disadvantages in wear resistance, heat melting, and grip, making it unable to withstand friction and easily worn out. Carbon black tires: Black tires with added carbon black can achieve excellent wear resistance and anti-aging properties, extending the tire's lifespan by 10 times (tires without carbon black have a lifespan of less than 8,000 kilometers). In addition to being more wear-resistant, black tires can also resist ultraviolet rays, preventing tire cracking caused by UV exposure. Precautions: Tires are rubber products, and the shelf life of rubber is generally 3 years. Therefore, when choosing tires, it is essential to pay attention to the production date of the tire. For tires produced after 2000, the last four digits of the manufacturing number indicate the year and week of production. For example, "1907" means the tire was produced in the 19th week of 2007.

How to Install the Brake Switch Limit Rubber Stopper?

After removing the tire, the brake system becomes visible. Use a 12mm and 18mm wrench to remove the bottom screw, and be sure not to clean the blue fixing adhesive on the screw. Once the brake caliper is back in place, it can be lifted to reveal the brake pad section. Remove the old brake pads, replace them with new ones, and after complete installation, secure the fixing screw.

Will Points Be Deducted for Running a Red Light in a Training Vehicle?

If a student runs a red light while driving a training vehicle, points will still be deducted. However, when handling the traffic violation for running a red light in a training vehicle, the responsibility falls on the instructor. Point Deduction Standards for Running a Red Light: According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points per offense. Article 3, Section 1, Clause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibitory signs or markings will result in a deduction of 3 points per offense. How to Check for Red Light Violations: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in using your ID card, then find and click on the "Violation Handling" option. Under "Violation Handling," you can view the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check by visiting the service halls of traffic police branches in various cities and districts and using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the public service websites of the local Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Bureau, find the "Vehicle Violation Query" section, enter your license plate number and engine number, and click "Query."
