4S shop car maintenance items include: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, clean air filter, and check whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; 2. Check whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Check whether the tire pressure is normal and whether the tires have uneven wear, bulges, or damage; 4. Check whether the car chassis is normal, including whether the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints are scratched; 5. Check whether all switches and lights in the car are working properly. Car maintenance precautions are: 1. Make an appointment in advance; 2. Record any faults or questions encountered while driving and inform the staff during maintenance registration.

A few days ago, I just went to the 4S shop for maintenance. The basic items included changing the engine oil and oil filter, which are must-do tasks for every maintenance session. They also checked the tire pressure and wear, measured the brake pad thickness, topped up the windshield washer fluid, and scanned for fault codes with a computer. The cabin air filter and engine air filter are replaced based on how dirty they are. After the car had run 20,000 kilometers, additional items like replacing the spark plugs and brake fluid were included. At the 40,000-kilometer major service, the transmission fluid and coolant were changed. I made sure to ask the technician to check for any loose bolts under the chassis and leaks in the suspension system, as these details are hard to notice during regular use. Regular maintenance like this helps prevent problems, improves fuel efficiency, and ensures safer driving.

As a long-time car owner, I value the comprehensiveness of 4S dealership maintenance. Basic maintenance includes oil and oil filter replacement, full vehicle lighting inspection, and brake system check. During major maintenance, they handle the replacement of three filters (oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter), and fluid replacements including brake fluid and coolant. When my car passed 60,000 km, they performed belt inspection, spark plug replacement, and suspension bushing check. Additional services like throttle body cleaning and fuel system maintenance should be based on actual vehicle condition - don't get tricked into unnecessary spending. Always review the work order after each service and keep records for future warranty claims.

Does running out of fuel and stalling the car have any impact on the vehicle?

Running out of fuel and stalling has minimal impact on the car, but it's not advisable to do this frequently. Here's relevant information: 1. Overview: The fuel system's function is to supply the engine with a specific quantity of clean, well-atomized gasoline according to its operating conditions, allowing it to mix with air and form a combustible mixture. Additionally, the fuel system needs to store a considerable amount of gasoline to ensure the vehicle has a substantial driving range. 2. Classification: The fuel system also includes electronically controlled gasoline injection systems, fuel supply systems (including auxiliary devices such as fuel tanks, fuel filters, fuel pumps, oil-gas separators, fuel lines, and fuel gauges).

What does 9AT transmission mean?

It refers to a 9-speed automatic transmission. The "AT" stands for automatic transmission, while the number 9 indicates it has 9 forward gears. As a core component of automobiles, transmissions significantly impact vehicle performance, safety assurance, and stability. Below are more relevant details: 1. Advantages of 9AT transmission: Its greatest benefits are fuel efficiency and faster acceleration. The core structure of a 9AT transmission consists of 4 planetary gear sets and 6 shift elements, one more shift element than the 8HP. With multiple gears, the gear ratio difference between each gear is reduced, providing a wide range of reduction ratios. This allows for lower engine speeds at high speeds, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and stronger acceleration. 2. Disadvantages of 9AT transmission: The increased number of gears means more internal components, higher manufacturing and R&D requirements, and consequently greater costs. The complex internal structure also leads to more potential failure points. Additionally, compressing component sizes to fit the housing reduces the torque capacity.

Is the Road Slippery During Rain or After Rain?

At the beginning of rain, the road surface is most prone to becoming slippery. Extended information about driving in rainy weather is as follows: 1. Overview: The incidence of car accidents in rainy weather is five times higher than in sunny weather. When driving in windy and rainy conditions during summer, the driver's visibility is obstructed, and the viewing distance is shorter, especially during heavy rainstorms when the windshield wipers cannot promptly clear the rainwater from the windshield, leaving the driver's vision blurred. 2. Maintain Good Visibility: Besides driving cautiously when on the road in rainy weather, it is essential to promptly turn on the windshield wipers. In dim weather conditions, the low beam and fog lights should also be activated. If there is frost on the front windshield, turn on the air conditioning and direct the cold air towards the front windshield. If the rear windshield has frost, activate the rear windshield heater to quickly eliminate the frost and prevent obstructed visibility of vehicles behind.

What are the effects of depressing the clutch on a downhill slope?

Depressing the clutch on a downhill slope means coasting in neutral. Once the vehicle's braking system fails, the result is that the driver completely loses control of the vehicle. Keeping the clutch depressed for prolonged periods causes the release bearing to rotate at high speeds continuously, significantly reducing its lifespan. It can also lead to excessive wear in the clutch system. Additional information about the clutch is as follows: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. 2. Definition: The clutch, commonly known as "geely zi" in Hong Kong, is a device that switches the engine power of a car or other power machinery to the axle.

Handle Violations First or Renew the License First?

First, you must handle the violations before applying for license renewal. When renewing a driver's license, it is not allowed to have any outstanding violations or unpaid fines. All violations must be settled, and fines must be paid before the license can be renewed. If you have outstanding violations and need to renew your license, please first visit the traffic enforcement station of the local police branch to handle the violations, pay the fines at the bank, and then proceed to the relevant license renewal office to complete the renewal process. Documents required for license renewal: Bring two copies of your ID card, two recent 1-inch color passport photos without headwear, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or higher hospital (free medical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office). License renewal process: The driver submits the required documents to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after verifying the documents.

Are LED headlights brighter than xenon headlights?

LED headlights are brighter than xenon headlights. The functions of automotive LED lights are: 1. Activating turn signals to alert following vehicles and reduce rear-end collisions; 2. Improving road visibility to enhance driving safety; 3. Informing trailing vehicles about braking actions to prompt speed reduction; 4. Using hazard lights during emergency stops or poor visibility conditions to notify surrounding traffic. Maintenance methods for automotive LED lights include: 1. Regularly inspecting lamp covers to prevent moisture accumulation; 2. Periodically replacing bulbs; 3. Properly adjusting headlight height; 4. Using high-quality replacement bulbs; 5. Protecting lights from foreign object impacts.
