Car maintenance primarily involves the five oils, three fluids, and tires. The five oils refer to gasoline, engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid. The three fluids refer to coolant, windshield washer fluid, and battery fluid. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Routine maintenance, or regular maintenance, refers to the operations performed before driving, during driving, and after parking, which are carried out by the driver. The main tasks of a maintenance center are cleaning, replenishment, and safety inspections, which are routine and necessary work to maintain the vehicle's normal working condition. Primary maintenance is performed by professional maintenance companies. In addition to routine maintenance tasks, the main tasks of the service center are cleaning, lubrication, and tightening, as well as inspecting safety components such as brakes and operations. Secondary maintenance is performed by professional maintenance companies. In addition to primary maintenance, the main tasks of the service center are inspection and adjustment, tire disassembly and inspection, and tire replacement.

What Causes the Throttle to Stop Responding While Driving?

When the car's throttle does not respond when pressed, it indicates an abnormality in the vehicle's power system. The engine's power is generated through the coordinated operation of the intake system, ignition system, and fuel system. If any of these components malfunction, it can lead to a decrease in engine power, resulting in unresponsive throttle, vehicle shaking, or smoke from the exhaust. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Dirty Throttle Position Sensor: A dirty throttle position sensor or voltage imbalance can cause electronic throttle failure, leading to situations where the car does not accelerate even when the throttle is fully pressed. 2. Clogged Intake System: If the intake system has leaks or blockages, pressing the accelerator may result in reduced power, inability to increase RPM, and vehicle shaking. 3. Poor Fuel Quality: The fuel system is crucial for the engine. Using low-quality gasoline can damage the fuel pump, catalytic converter, or pistons, directly affecting engine power and potentially causing stalling or inability to accelerate. 4. Worn Spark Plugs: While ignition high-voltage wires rarely fail, the main issues often lie with the ignition coils and spark plugs, as they are wear-prone components. Worn or low-quality spark plugs can lead to weak acceleration or shaking during acceleration.

Where to Apply for Vehicle Electronic Identification?

Vehicle electronic identification can be processed at the Traffic Police Vehicle Management Division under the Public Security Bureau. Below are the specific details about vehicle electronic identification: 1. Anti-counterfeiting: Each RFID tag has a globally unique ID number that cannot be altered, giving RFID technology unparalleled anti-counterfeiting capabilities. In addition to the ID number, the RFID tag also includes a DATA area where encrypted vehicle license plate and certificate information can be written if needed. By using a reader to inspect passing vehicles, counterfeit certificates or unauthorized vehicles can be easily identified. 2. Anti-borrowing: Since vehicle license plate information can be encrypted and written into the tag, along with accessing the system database, it can determine whether a vehicle is authorized to use the certificate (i.e., electronic tag), thereby preventing the borrowing of certificates and ensuring the unity of the certificate and vehicle or the unity of certificate, vehicle, and driver. 3. Anti-theft: If a certificate is accidentally lost, not only can the above methods be used to verify whether a vehicle is authorized to use the certificate based on the certificate number and consistency, but the certificate can also be invalidated through the owner's report of loss. Any vehicle attempting to use a reported lost certificate for entry or exit can be identified. 4. Anti-removal: Each electronic tag comes with an anti-removal feature. Once installed, any attempt to remove it will render the tag inoperable, preventing reuse after removal and ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the electronic tag and the identified vehicle, fulfilling the true marking role of the electronic tag.

What Can Be Used to Wash a Car Without Damaging the Paint?

When conditions permit, it is advisable to use dedicated car wash soap for cleaning the vehicle. The correct method for washing a car is as follows: Prepare a hose, basin, towels, and a high-pressure water gun. The fabric of the towels must be fine, as coarse materials may cause damage to the paint during wiping; Rinse the entire car with a hose to remove dust particles and debris from crevices; Use a specialized car wash soap that is pH-neutral. Avoid using alkaline or acidic soaps, as they can harm the car's paint; Use the high-pressure water gun to rinse the body of the car, and also clean the wheel hubs; Use towels to dry the car thoroughly. To better protect the car's paint, it is recommended to choose a professional car wash service. These establishments use pH-neutral soaps (with a pH value between 6.5 and 7.5) that do not corrode the paint and can nourish and maintain the car, enhancing the elasticity of the paint and preventing minor scratches from sand or debris. Car washing does not need to be overly frequent; once every two weeks is sufficient, as excessive washing can accelerate paint oxidation. However, after exposure to dust, mud, heavy rain, or other harsh conditions, the car should be washed promptly. Prolonged neglect of washing can lead to damage from acidic components in the air, bird droppings, and dust, accelerating paint aging and deterioration. Damaged paint can also expose the metal body to oxidation, leading to premature vehicle wear.
