I take the first maintenance very seriously, after all, cars need care just like people. My Volkswagen hit 5,000 kilometers and I headed straight to the 4S shop—never exceed the mileage or it might affect the warranty. Remember to make an appointment in advance to avoid queues, bring the maintenance manual and driving license, and present them for registration upon arrival. The technician mainly changed the engine oil and oil filter using genuine manufacturer-specific oil, and also performed free checks on chassis bolts and tire pressure. I watched the entire process and secretly learned the trick to checking brake pad wear. After maintenance, the technician reminded me to take the car on the highway post-first maintenance, so I deliberately drove on the highway for half an hour to clear carbon deposits. Finally, I got back the stamped maintenance manual—this is the warranty proof and must be kept safe.

Can alcohol-based wipes be used in cars?

Alcohol-based wipes can be used in cars. The alcohol on the wipes evaporates relatively quickly, usually within minutes, after which driving the car poses no issues. Here are some relevant points regarding alcohol use inside vehicles: 1. Maintain interior ventilation: In enclosed spaces, high concentrations of alcohol vapor can easily cause fires. Air circulation helps reduce indoor alcohol concentration. 2. Prohibit open flames: Alcohol has a very low ignition point and can spontaneously combust when exposed to fire or heat. Therefore, avoid open flames during or after use. Ensure power sources and flames are turned off before disinfection, and remember to ventilate afterward.

What does 'start' mean on a car?

Start on a car refers to one-key start, also known as a keyless ignition system. One-key start is different from the traditional mechanical key ignition method and conventional starting procedures. Simply press the one-key start button to start or stop the engine, eliminating the hassle of losing or searching for keys. During the ignition process, it is mostly necessary to step on the foot brake. The one-key start device is part of a smart car, serving as a button device that simplifies the ignition process. Vehicles equipped with one-key start functionality generally do not require inserting a key, but they still have a key slot. Its purpose is to allow the use of the mechanical starting method in case the one-key start function malfunctions.

What causes the abnormal noise when lightly pressing the brakes?

There are metal hard spots on the brake pads. Detailed explanations for the abnormal noise when lightly pressing the brakes are as follows: 1. Rust on the surface of the brake disc: First, it could be due to brake disc deformation or rust on the surface. If the vehicle's brake disc is deformed, it may sway left and right during braking, causing wear on the brake pads and resulting in abnormal noise. In such cases, grinding and repairing the brake disc should suffice. Additionally, if the brake disc surface is rusty, the brake pads scraping off the rust spots can also produce noise, which usually disappears after a few minutes. Two emergency brakes at high speed can also resolve this type of noise issue. 2. Mirror-like surface condition: Secondly, new cars or vehicles that have just had their brake pads replaced may produce sharp noises during braking. This happens because the brake disc surface becomes mirror-like after use, and the brake pads develop a hardened layer after friction with the disc. If this hardened layer rubs against the mirror-like brake disc, it can create a sharp, piercing sound. In such situations, simply grinding down the hardened layer will usually prevent the noise during braking. 3. Worn-out brake pads: Another possibility is that the brake pads are completely worn out, causing the limit plate to directly rub against the brake disc and produce noise. To avoid this, regularly inspect the brake pads. If they are only 1/3 of their original width or less than 0.5cm, they should be replaced promptly. Additionally, a loose brake shield can also cause noise during braking. In such cases, the vehicle should be taken to a nearby 4S shop or repair shop for reassembly.

What are the effects of a damaged outer CV joint in a car?

CV joint, also known as a 'constant velocity joint,' transmits power from the transmission to the wheels. A damaged outer CV joint in a car may cause issues such as the vehicle pulling to one side, accelerated tire wear, damage to the power steering pump, and even the steering wheel locking up, making it impossible to turn. Below is some related knowledge about a damaged CV joint: 1. Symptoms of a CV joint problem: Noise when turning the steering wheel, but no noise when driving straight. 2. Cause: Due to a damaged dust cover causing oil leakage, the steel balls and cage inside the CV joint wear out due to lack of lubrication.

How to Remove Car Emblem Stickers?

Methods for removing car emblem stickers: 1. Use a household hairdryer set to the hot air setting, then blow it at the sticker. Once the adhesive on the back of the sticker softens, peel the sticker off the car body. 2. Owners can also try dipping a towel in some essential balm, then wiping the surface of the sticker to evenly coat it. Wait for a while before peeling the sticker off directly. 3. Use a specialized adhesive remover spray on the surface of the sticker, then peel it off directly. However, be cautious when using this method on glass with sun protection film. When removing stickers from the car body, if adhesive residue is left behind, the following methods can be tried: 1. Soak a towel in some alcohol and wipe the adhesive residue to remove it. 2. Use an eraser to rub off the remaining adhesive. 3. Use some tar remover, but wear gloves to avoid corrosion from the cleaner.
