Main maintenance items for a car at 30,000 kilometers: engine oil maintenance, replacement of air filter and cabin air filter, replacement of brake fluid, replacement of coolant, spark plug carbon cleaning, and inspection of the vehicle's technical condition (including tightening specific parts, checking if vehicle lights are functioning properly, and detecting any faults in the onboard computer). Additional tips for car protection: 1. Regularly clean the vehicle. Don't overlook these details; a clean vehicle ensures better working conditions for its components, thereby extending the car's lifespan, enhancing reliability during driving, and reducing the need for workshop visits. 2. Regularly replace filters, including air filters, cabin air filters, oil filters, and fuel filters. These components filter out impurities, and replacing them with new ones ensures optimal vehicle condition. 3. Regularly inspect the vehicle's condition, including tire pressure, levels of various fluids, and the proper functioning of certain driving features.

My car just had its 30,000-kilometer maintenance, and I remember quite a few things were replaced. The engine oil and oil filter definitely needed changing—that's unavoidable every time. The air filter had to be replaced too, otherwise, the engine wouldn't breathe smoothly. It's also best to change the cabin air filter, especially if there's any odd smell when the AC is on. The braking system requires special attention—check how much brake pad material is left and whether the brake fluid needs replacing. The tires should be rotated, and while at it, check the tire pressure and tread wear. All the chassis bolts need tightening one by one, and the suspension should be inspected for any leaks. Fluids like coolant and power steering fluid should also be checked to ensure they're at the right levels. Lastly, the mechanic cleaned the throttle body for me, saying it would improve throttle response. Don’t forget to check all the lights and wipers—safe driving is the top priority.

Here's a list of 30,000 km maintenance items for your reference. Routine items include oil change and three-filter replacement: oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. The braking system requires inspection of brake pad thickness and brake fluid condition, with replacement if necessary. For tires, perform rotation and dynamic balancing, plus check tire pressure. Inspect suspension components underneath the vehicle, especially wear-prone parts like ball joints and bushings. Check fluid levels including coolant, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid. Finally, conduct a full vehicle computer diagnosis to check for trouble codes. Special reminder: many modern vehicles have turbochargers - pay extra attention to inspecting turbo pipe sealing, as this is often overlooked. Always follow the maintenance manual for best practice.

I have quite some experience with maintenance. The 30,000-kilometer service mainly consists of three parts: the most basic is changing the engine oil and oil filter, and it's recommended to use fully synthetic oil for better lubrication. Then there's the replacement of the three filters—the air filter ensures clean air intake, and the cabin air filter improves the air quality inside the car. Finally, there's the safety inspection, focusing on measuring the thickness of the brake discs and checking tire wear. Remember to ask the mechanic to also check the battery life and the tightness of the chassis bolts. You can add a sterilization and deodorizing treatment to the air conditioning system to make it more comfortable when using the cold air. I recommend bringing your own high-quality filters for replacement, as the original parts at the 4S store are too expensive. After maintenance, remember to test drive the car to listen for smooth engine sounds and check if there are any changes in the brake pedal feel.

The maintenance items at 30,000 kilometers are quite crucial. The must-do tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter, with full synthetic oil being recommended. The air filter should ideally be replaced as it affects the engine's lifespan. The cabin air filter can be replaced optionally, but it's necessary if there's a strong odor. Tire rotation is due to balance wear between front and rear tires. Checking the braking system is vital—measure if the brake pads meet the thickness requirement. Inspect the chassis for loose bolts and check for cracks in the suspension bushings. Don’t overlook routine checks like lights and wipers. Engine cleaning services often promoted in maintenance packages aren’t always necessary unless you notice a significant drop in performance. I always check tire pressure every six months—this small detail shouldn’t be skipped.

Let me briefly explain the 30,000-kilometer maintenance items. First is the basic maintenance - oil and oil filter replacement are standard. Then two filters: the air filter and cabin air filter are recommended to be replaced together to save on labor costs. Tire rotation is a must to prevent uneven wear and save money - tires are expensive to replace. Brake system inspection is most critical - check how much life is left in the brake pads as this affects safety. For the chassis, mainly inspect components like control arms and ball joints. Coolant and brake fluid need freezing point and moisture content testing. Remember wiper blades are best replaced annually, ideally before rainy season. Throttle body cleaning depends on circumstances - only do it if experiencing idle vibration. Finally, don't forget to reset the maintenance reminder in the vehicle computer after oil change - many people overlook this.

How to Deactivate the Anti-lock Braking System?

Methods to deactivate the car's anti-lock braking system are as follows: 1. First, if the ABS wheel speed sensor malfunctions, it will cause the ABS light to illuminate. Generally, the wheel speed sensor is installed on the wheel, and after prolonged driving, dust and mud can accumulate, affecting signal transmission. In this case, simply cleaning off the accumulated dust will suffice. 2. Second, if there is a connection fault in the ABS wiring, which usually occurs at the plug connection of the wheel speed sensor, you can check each connection one by one to ensure they are secure. 3. If the issue is due to programming problems in the ABS control unit, a specialized diagnostic computer will be required to identify and resolve the problem. 4. In the case of a circuit board fault in the ABS control unit, the corresponding computer module needs to be replaced, although the probability of this fault occurring is very low. 5. Finally, the problem might be with the ABS master cylinder. Although there is a risk of wheel lock-up, it does not affect the normal braking system or vehicle operation. You only need to visit a 4S shop promptly for inspection, diagnosis, and repair.

What does vehicle ADS mean?

Vehicle ADS stands for Adjustable Damping System. Below is the relevant introduction about ADS: 1. ADS, which stands for Adaptive-damping-System, is an adjustable damping system, also known as adjustable shock absorbers. This system allows the driver to adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers according to personal preferences, road conditions, and usage requirements to suit different needs. 2. ADS works by varying the damping force of the shock absorbers. In the stiffer mode, it provides greater damping force to enhance shock absorption during aggressive driving. In the softer mode, it offers lower damping force, delivering a smoother and more comfortable ride.
