Car first maintenance specific items are as follows: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, clean air filter, check whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged, check whether the levels of various fluids are normal, check whether the tire pressure is normal, and whether the tires have uneven wear, bulges, damage, etc.; 2. Check the car chassis: including brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, CV joints for scratches, etc.; 3. Check all switches and lights in the car to see if they are working properly. The following are precautions regarding the first maintenance of a car: 1. The first maintenance time of the car is calculated based on the date of picking up the car. 2. There are two indicators for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first, maintenance must be done. Exceeding either will affect the warranty. It is worth mentioning that according to relevant regulations, if the first maintenance date is exceeded, it will be regarded as automatically giving up the right to the first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, future quality problems of the car will not be guaranteed. Most car owners must pay attention to the dealer's reminders. Therefore, car owners must not miss the first maintenance period. 3. The first maintenance time and maintenance cycle of the car are different. Some car maintenance cycles are only 2000 kilometers, while others are as long as 8000 kilometers. This is caused by differences in the specific technical conditions of the car. The engine and the new car have a running-in period. Different car systems, brands, and even models are equipped with engines of different designs. Some engines are made of better materials, have higher precision, so the wear is relatively small, and some have higher requirements for oil, even special requirements.

Are the reference points the same for left and right reverse parking?

No, they are different. Below is extended information about left and right reverse parking: Right reverse parking: Observe the positional relationship between the left rearview mirror and the parking line. First turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right and start moving, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the left rearview mirror covers the parking line. While reversing with the steering wheel fully turned to the right, look at the right rearview mirror. Observe the distance between the car body and the right front corner of the parking space, keeping this distance at 30 centimeters. Once half of the car body has entered the parking space, observe the relationship between the car body and the side lines through the left and right rearview mirrors. When the car body is parallel to the side lines, straighten the steering wheel. When the left rearview mirror covers the side line, immediately press the clutch and stop. Left reverse parking: Observe the position of the left rearview mirror and the parking line, and turn the steering wheel fully to the left when there is still a small distance between the left rearview mirror and the parking line. Through the left rearview mirror, observe the position of the car body and the left corner of the parking space to predict whether the car body will cross the line. After the car enters the parking space, observe the left and right rearview mirrors, and straighten the steering wheel when the car body is about to be parallel. When the left rearview mirror covers the side line, you can stop the car.

How to Fix the Lifted Edges of Full Coverage Car Mats?

Below is relevant information about full coverage car mats: 1. Background Introduction: Full coverage car mats, developed on the basis of full coverage, are the most popular type of car mats currently. The most popular full coverage mats on the market are mainly divided into two types: full coverage carpet mats and full coverage leather mats. Full coverage mats are designed with high-sided, three-dimensional specifications tailored to different car models, providing protection for the car's carpet and 360° non-slip coverage. 2. Cleaning: Daily cleaning only requires wiping with a damp cloth. They can also be rinsed with water and then air-dried, or cleaned with leather mat cleaning agents.

If they are not used for a long time, you can apply a specialized leather care wax to the full coverage leather mats. Cleaning these mats is relatively simple. First, take them out and remove any gravel, mud, or other debris inside. Then, rinse them directly with water, scrub them with a brush a few times, rinse again, shake off excess water, and place them in a dry, ventilated area to air dry before reinstalling them in the car.

Why Does a Truck's Steering Feel Unstable and Sway from Side to Side?

There are many reasons why a truck's steering may feel unstable and sway up and down, including issues with the steering gear, abnormal tire pressure, incorrect wheel alignment, or damaged shock absorbers. A detailed analysis is as follows: 1. Steering gear malfunction: When there is a problem with the vehicle's steering gear, the truck may experience unstable steering, veering to one side, difficulty turning, or even an inability to steer. There are numerous potential causes for steering gear malfunctions, and it is advisable to seek professional inspection and repair at a service center or 4S shop. 2. Abnormal tire pressure: If the tire pressure is uneven on both sides of the vehicle, the truck will tend to veer toward the side with lower tire pressure. In such cases, it is essential to stop immediately, inspect the tires, and proceed with repairs or replacements as needed. 3. Incorrect wheel alignment: If the truck's wheels are not properly aligned after tire replacement, the tires may become unbalanced, affecting the vehicle's handling. In this situation, a complete wheel alignment should be performed, and the tires' dynamic balance should be checked. 4. Damaged shock absorbers: When the truck's shock absorbers are damaged or there are issues with the ball joints, it can often lead to steering instability and veering problems.

What is the break-in period for the Audi Q5 in kilometers?

1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only harms the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact on the engine and transmission. 2. Do not drive at high speeds: Drivers who floor the accelerator should note that the engine has limited capacity; do not overload it. Try to keep the engine RPM steady below 3,000r/min. 3. Do not overload the vehicle: Overloading makes steering heavier, increases centrifugal force, and affects the vehicle's handling performance. Long-term overloading also shortens the car's lifespan and accelerates the aging of components. Keep the total weight of the vehicle and cargo within 70% of the rated load capacity. 4. Use high-quality fuel: There are many types of fuel on the market; choose fuel that meets national standards. Non-standard fuel can clog the fuel tank and lines. 5. Preheat the engine during cold starts: Preheating the car: first, it ensures smooth engine startup; second, it effectively saves fuel; third, it reduces wear on moving parts. 6. Use the appropriate gear: Manual transmission drivers, please note that gears and RPM should match. Remember: high speed requires high gear, and deceleration requires low gear.
