Secondary maintenance mainly includes the following items: 1. Measure the cylinder pressure of the engine and adjust the valve clearance; clean various filters, oil pan, and the assembly of the oil collector. 2. Check and adjust the wear and clearance of connecting rod bearings; inspect and tighten the bolts of the front and rear engine brackets. 3. Check and adjust the brake, perform tire rotation; inspect the clutch and adjustments of other assemblies. 4. Extension: Secondary maintenance is generally performed when the car has traveled 6,000~8,000 km. The purpose of secondary maintenance is to ensure that the vehicle maintains good operating performance for a long period of time thereafter.

As someone who has driven for several years, I think the second maintenance is quite important. The key is changing the engine oil and oil filter to keep the engine running smoothly. It's also essential to check tire pressure and wear, and ensure the brake pads aren't too thin, otherwise braking performance suffers. Testing the lighting system, including headlights and turn signals, ensures nighttime safety. I always have them check the air filter—city driving gathers a lot of dust, and a dirty filter affects air intake. Suspension system inspection prevents excessive bumpiness, and a battery test prevents unexpected power loss. Regular second maintenance improves fuel efficiency and extends engine life. I recommend going to a 4S shop or a trusted repair shop for peace of mind.

What are the restricted hours for trucks on highways?

There are no restricted hours for trucks on highways. Generally, private cars and trucks are allowed to travel on highways 24 hours a day, while commercial passenger vehicles are prohibited from traveling between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM. The restricted hours may vary depending on the specific highway section. Here are some important considerations for driving on highways: 1. Maintain a safe distance: Due to the high speeds on highways, drivers may not have enough time to react in case of an emergency, so it is important to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. 2. Follow traffic regulations: Overtake from the left lane, do not occupy the emergency lane, do not speed, and avoid frequent lane changes.

What is the method to remove the driving video block?

The method to remove the driving video block, taking the Highlander as an example: 1. Cut the yellow speed signal wire and then ground it; 2. Remove the central control screen, locate the speed signal wire, and cut it; 3. After enabling the driving video restriction, when the vehicle speed exceeds the limit, the video and image browsing functions during driving will be disabled. For safety reasons, it is recommended not to remove the restriction. Taking brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz as examples, if the vehicle allows the removal of the driving video restriction, simply drive to a 4S store for decoding and then remove it. However, some vehicles support the removal of the driving video restriction, while others do not.
