The two mileage readings on the dashboard are the total mileage and the trip mileage. Total mileage: Refers to the distance traveled by the car since it left the factory. Trip mileage: The trip mileage can be reset to zero. It can be used to calculate the distance of a specific route or to measure how many kilometers a full tank of fuel can cover. Press and hold the button to reset it. Odometer adjustment, commonly referred to as "clocking": Adjustment means modifying; the meter is a device that measures a certain quantity. Clocking refers to the process where a skilled operator manually or with the help of specialized equipment modifies the current displayed or recorded value of the meter. Besides having basic hands-on skills, adjusting a car's odometer requires understanding and mastering its working principles, and specialized equipment is needed to modify the mileage count.

What Causes a Vehicle's Idle Speed to Decrease?

Vehicle idle speed decrease can be caused by: 1. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup, which can be resolved by cleaning; 2. Faulty stepper motor; 3. Poor fuel flow or inadequate fuel supply pressure; 4. Faulty electronic fuel pump; 5. Internal engine malfunction; 6. Damaged spark plugs, ignition wires, or distributor. Causes for increased vehicle idle speed include: 1. Throttle sticking or not closing properly; 2. Faulty auxiliary air valve; 3. Malfunctioning idle control valve; 4. Faulty coolant temperature sensor; 5. Defective air conditioning switch or power steering pressure switch; 6. Malfunctioning crankcase forced ventilation valve; 7. Air leaks in the intake system; 8. Insufficient charging voltage from the alternator.

What are the safety warning signs?

Safety warning signs include prohibition signs and obstacle warning signs. Safety signs are set up for safety considerations to reduce potential hazards, and are applicable at factory entrances, inside factories, and on roads. Material selection: 1. For surfaces that are uneven or excessively rough, polypropylene boards should be used; 2. For smooth surfaces, self-adhesive stickers can be used. Obstacle warning signs include: 1. Traffic signal warning signs, which are placed at appropriate locations where drivers may not easily notice signal-controlled intersections ahead; 2. Falling rocks warning signs, which are placed at appropriate locations before sections of mountain roads with falling rock hazards.

How Often Should the First Oil Change Be Done?

First oil change should be done every 5,000 or 7,500 kilometers. You can refer to the detailed requirements in the manual. Routine maintenance typically involves changing the oil and filter, which are relatively simple tasks. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in a base oil. It mainly contains anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. Its primary functions are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (function of detergents) from the engine.

Why does the car's brake squeak?

The causes and solutions for abnormal brake noises in cars are as follows: 1. Use of inferior or overly hard brake pads. Solution: Replace with high-quality brake pads. 2. Presence of foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs. Solution: When driving at about 5 km/h, quickly press the brake several times; in most cases, this can remove the foreign objects. 3. Severe wear of the brake discs. Solution: Replace with new brake discs. 4. The brake pads have worn down to the warning line, triggering the brake pad alarm. Solution: It is recommended to send the car to a 4S shop as soon as possible for professional inspection and repair.

What are the main reasons for slowing down when driving a motor vehicle in rainy weather?

The main reasons for slowing down when driving a motor vehicle in rainy weather are: the braking distance of the car will increase, rainy weather will affect the driver's vision, and emergency braking is prone to skidding. When driving a motor vehicle in rainy weather, you need to be more careful and attentive than usual because a layer of fog will form on the car windows, obstructing your view. Additionally, when it rains heavily, the windshield wipers may not be able to clear the rainwater in time. Therefore, when driving in the rain, you must be cautious and keep your eyes on the road conditions. Moreover, when driving in rainy weather, you should also pay attention to your speed, as the roads outside are very slippery, and you need to prevent the wheels from skidding.

How to Read the Tire Pressure Limit on Tires?

The tire pressure limit can be found on the tire pressure markings. These markings are usually located on the sidewall of the tire, indicating the maximum load capacity of a single tire and the maximum safe inflation pressure under normal conditions. For example, if the sidewall reads MAX.PRESS.350kPa, it means the maximum safe inflation pressure for the tire under normal conditions is 350kPa; MAX.Load615KG indicates the maximum load capacity of a single tire is 615KG. According to the international standard GBT2978-2008, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be slightly increased by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures or damage to the tire pressure sensor.
