Cleaning the engine throttle body and fuel injectors should be performed every 20,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about automotive maintenance: 1. First maintenance: Some manufacturers determine the initial maintenance schedule based on time or mileage. The exact timing should be referred to in the vehicle's owner's manual or warranty booklet. The first maintenance is crucial and free of charge, so it's essential to remember to have it done to avoid missing it, which could affect the vehicle's three-year warranty. 2. Maintenance items: Major maintenance items include replacing engine oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, spark plugs, cabin air filters, engine air filters, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need replacement during every maintenance session; this depends on their service life. Additionally, maintenance involves inspecting and servicing dozens of components across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

Can a Car Spare Tire Be Used for a Long Time?

Car spare tires cannot be used for a long time. Here is some relevant information about car spare tires: 1. Purpose of Spare Tires: Compact spare tires, folding spare tires, and run-flat tires also help save storage space inside the vehicle. The maximum speed when using a spare tire is lower than that of a standard tire, and it is advisable to replace it with a standard tire as soon as possible after reaching the destination. This is usually indicated in multiple languages with prominent labels. 2. Types of Spare Tires: A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. A non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary substitute. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or commonly referred to as "anti-burst tires," are literally translated in the industry as "tires that can run without air."

What Causes Power Steering Failure in Cars?

Reason: The steering system operates under excessive load, causing excessive wear of the stator and rotor inside the steering pump. This leads to irregular movement of the oil inside the pump, resulting in power steering failure. Below is an introduction to electro-hydraulic power steering: 1. Introduction: Power steering fluid is a special liquid used in the power steering pump of a car's power steering system. Through hydraulic action, it makes the steering wheel very light, facilitating the driver's control of the driving direction. 2. Function: When the driver turns the steering wheel, the power steering system automatically provides power, thereby reducing the driver's steering effort. Power steering fluid is a medium oil added to the power steering system, serving to transmit steering force and provide cushioning. 3. Common power steering fluids: Brake power steering fluid, steering power steering fluid, clutch power steering fluid, etc. 4. Note: Power steering fluid does not need to be changed frequently.

Should Windshield Washer Fluid Be Diluted with Water?

If it is pre-mixed windshield washer fluid, no additional water is needed. However, if it is windshield washer concentrate, it should be diluted with water. Below is relevant information about automotive windshield washer fluid: 1. Types of washer fluid: In northern regions, choose anti-freeze washer fluid to prevent the pipes from freezing and cracking in winter before the fluid is used up. In southern areas, washer fluid with added insect-cleaning agents is sufficient. 2. How to dilute: Generally, purchased washer fluid needs to be diluted before use. Simply follow the instructions on the product manual. The capacity of a car's washer fluid reservoir is approximately 1.5 liters, so a container of 1.25L to 1.5L is suitable for dilution. 3. How to refill: There is a reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment with a cap marked with a windshield washer symbol—this is the washer fluid container. Open it and pour in the diluted anti-freeze washer fluid, but do not overfill. It is sufficient to just see the water level at its deepest point, and do not exceed the MAX mark.

What does the last letter on a tire mean?

The last letter on a tire indicates its speed rating. Sometimes it's V, sometimes H, etc. Here are the specific details: 1. V means the maximum speed is 240 km/h. 2. H means the maximum speed is 210 km/h. 3. The speed rating indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h, R: 170 km/h, S: 180 km/h, T: 190 km/h, H: 210 km/h, V: 240 km/h, W: 270 km/h, Y: 300 km/h, Z: ZR speed is above 240 km/h—if ZR appears, such as in P275/40ZR1793W, then the maximum speed rating (the "W" in "93W") is 270 km/h. Below is additional information about tires: 1. Tire markings: Tires are an important component of a vehicle. There are over 10 types of markings on a car tire. Correctly identifying these markings is crucial for selecting, using, and maintaining tires, as well as ensuring driving safety and extending tire lifespan. 2. Tire specifications: Specifications are the geometric parameters and physical performance data of a tire. There are three methods to represent tire specifications: A. Metric (m); B. Mixed metric and imperial; C. Imperial. Imperial tire specifications are often represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the second number indicates the rim diameter, both in inches. 3. Tire structure: "R" stands for radial tire, while "D" and "-" indicate bias-ply tires. 4. Others: "XL" denotes a locally reinforced tire, "TG" indicates tires for engineering tractors and graders (off-road use), and "NHS" stands for non-highway service tires.

What does auto mean on a car?

Auto on a car means automatic. Here is an introduction to the auto button on a car: 1. AUTO button on the air conditioner: It refers to the automatic function of the air conditioner. Car air conditioners can be divided into automatic and manual types. Manual air conditioners can be forced to heat or cool, while automatic air conditioners are different. When the air conditioner is turned on and the AUTO button is pressed, the air conditioner will determine the temperature, whether to cool or heat, and the fan speed based on the detection data from the car's internal sensors. 2. AUTO button on the window control: It refers to whether the window opens or closes automatically. If there is an auto window button in the car, opening or closing the window only requires pressing the button once, and it will complete the action automatically without needing to hold it. 3. AUTO button below the electronic handbrake: Its name is the automatic parking system. When the vehicle is frequently started or stopped, this button helps the owner park the car. When the automatic parking system is turned on, after stepping on the brake, the vehicle will lock, and releasing the brake will not move the car. The car will only move again after stepping on the accelerator, eliminating the hassle of repeatedly using the handbrake.

Reasons for the Emergence of Used Cars

The main reasons for the emergence of used cars are abundant vehicle supply and strong consumer demand. Other reasons include the consumer psychology of preferring the new and discarding the old, immature consumption concepts, the balance between income and expenses for car owners, and changes in property rights for enterprises, government departments, or individuals. Here is some related information about used cars: 1. Introduction: Used cars refer to motor vehicles that have been registered with the public security traffic management authorities, have not yet reached the national scrapping standards or are still within their economic service life, and can continue to be used. 2. Suitable Groups: Affordable pricing is the biggest selling point of used cars. With the same amount of money used to buy a new car, one can purchase a used car of a higher grade. Therefore, from the perspective of reducing car purchase costs, buying a used car is a wiser choice for the general public. For novice drivers who have just obtained their licenses but lack solid driving skills, buying a used car to practice is also a good option. For car enthusiasts who seek fresh experiences, used cars are undoubtedly the best choice.
