Maintenance for road transport vehicles is divided into daily maintenance, primary maintenance, and secondary maintenance. Daily Maintenance: Performed by the driver before, during, and after daily trips. The main tasks include cleaning, replenishing supplies, and safety inspections. Primary Maintenance: Conducted by maintenance enterprises. In addition to daily maintenance tasks, the focus is on cleaning, lubrication, tightening, and inspecting safety components related to braking and control systems. Secondary Maintenance: Also conducted by maintenance enterprises. Beyond primary maintenance tasks, it primarily involves inspecting and adjusting safety components prone to wear or deformation over time, such as steering knuckles, steering arms, brake shoes, and suspension systems, as well as tire inspection and rotation.

As an experienced long-haul truck driver, I've seen too many accidents caused by improper maintenance. Road transport vehicle maintenance is mainly divided into three categories: daily maintenance, periodic maintenance, and overhaul. Daily maintenance is the most basic, including pre-trip checks of tire pressure, lighting systems, brake fluid levels, and coolant - these are simple and quick operations that can immediately identify potential issues. Periodic maintenance is typically performed by professional technicians, such as changing engine oil and filters every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers and inspecting the drivetrain to ensure core components operate healthily. Overhauls are comprehensive repairs conducted when serious faults occur, like engine rebuilds or chassis refurbishments, often being time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive. Developing these maintenance habits not only saves money but also significantly reduces breakdown risks, especially during long-haul transportation, giving you greater peace of mind while driving.

The triangular button in the car is called the hazard warning flasher (or emergency light) switch. Press this button when parking on the roadside or encountering an emergency while driving, and all the turn signals on both sides of the car will flash simultaneously. Note: This button should only be used in emergencies or under low visibility conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or fog to alert other vehicles. Below are the situations when the hazard warning flasher should be activated: 1. When the vehicle breaks down: If the vehicle suddenly breaks down while driving and cannot be moved to a safe area in time, immediately turn on the hazard warning flasher to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians, and call for help promptly. 2. Breakdown on the highway: If the vehicle breaks down on the highway, stop in the emergency lane, turn on the hazard warning flasher immediately, place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle, and call for help quickly.

What Are the Reasons Why a Diesel Vehicle Won't Start?

There are four reasons why a diesel vehicle won't start. Below is an introduction to the reasons why a diesel vehicle won't start: 1. Engine fuel line blockage: Check if the engine fuel line is clear. If you hear a hissing sound from the fuel injector, it means the fuel line is functioning properly. 2. Cylinder compression: Check the cylinder compression. If the flywheel can still rotate after releasing the decompression device, there is an issue with the cylinder compression, and the cylinder piston and piston rings need to be replaced. 3. Lubricating oil: The lubricating oil should be replaced promptly. Overly viscous lubricating oil can hinder smooth engine startup. 4. Fuel pump: Check if there is air in the fuel pump. If there is air in the fuel pump, the diesel engine won't start.
