Documents required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; vehicle registration certificate; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle purchase invoice, to be taken to the designated first maintenance institution for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: make an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after the new car has been driven, with the specific time varying by vehicle, generally after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. The car must attend the first maintenance on time, neither earlier nor later. The completion of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the vehicle. The timing of the first maintenance is calculated based on the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever comes first will be the standard. First maintenance items include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various oil levels for normality, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normality, and examining tires for damage or bulges. Estimated time required: approximately 2 hours to complete all tasks. The most crucial aspect of the first maintenance for a new car is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced simultaneously. The selection of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars themselves during holidays, washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. Here, it is important to remind that the interior of the car body should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, clean them with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many through-holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driver's compartment. If water enters, it will not dry by air but will flow through the holes to areas like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. The better practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is insufficient, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze first and then add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Since antifreeze brands differ, their chemical functions vary significantly. Various functional corrosion inhibitors can corrode others. Different brands of antifreeze use different corrosion inhibitors, so they should not be mixed to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function properly again. To prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to them, which poses a necessary risk to safe driving. When the car is driven at high speed, the bolts and nuts can be easily loosened or even fall off, leading to driving failures. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a regular car. Its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and working conditions, ensuring a smooth start.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Sagitar?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Sagitar is 50 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 2021 Sagitar can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2021 Sagitar requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.3 to 5.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 893 to 943 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to always monitor the remaining fuel level. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity.

How to Exit the Parking Space When Surrounded by Cars on Both Sides and the Front?

In such a situation, it's best not to attempt exiting the parking space. If your driving skills are not proficient, it's easy to cause a car collision. At this point, you should wait for the car owners to come. Try looking for their phone numbers and give them a call to facilitate exiting the parking space. If the car owners still don't show up after a long wait, you can arrange for a tow truck to move the cars to another location.

Is the exhaust sound adjustable with a valve?

Valve exhaust sound is adjustable. The valve exhaust can alter the sound, as the exhaust note differs when the valve is open versus closed. Many supercars come equipped with valve exhaust systems from the factory. The exhaust sound varies when switching between sport mode and normal mode, which is the function of the valve exhaust. Properly installed exhaust valves not only control the vehicle's exhaust sound but also more effectively manage exhaust backpressure, keeping the vehicle in optimal condition. If the exhaust valve's opening and closing timing is inaccurate, it can be highly detrimental to the engine's power output, especially at high speeds where smooth exhaust flow is crucial, leading to significant negative effects.

How to Determine if the Universal Joint is Faulty?

When the universal joint is faulty, you can hear a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel left or right while driving, and the steering wheel's free play increases. The noise is particularly noticeable when turning on bumpy or uneven roads, giving the sensation that the steering gear is about to detach. Below is relevant information: 1. The main forms of universal joint damage include: wear, cracks, and severe damage to the journal surface (such as metal peeling, obvious dents, etc.). If there is slight peeling on the journal surface, use an oilstone to polish the surface before continuing to use it. If there is severe damage, replace the universal joint. 2. Inspection and maintenance of the universal joint include the following: (1) Check the fit clearance between the universal joint bearing and the journal. Clamp the universal joint in a bench vise, place the needle bearing sleeve on the journal, and use a dial indicator against the highest point on the outer surface of the bearing housing. Push the needle bearing housing up and down by hand; the change in the dial indicator's reading represents the fit clearance between the bearing and the universal joint. This clearance should be less than 0.05mm. (2) The needle bearings in the universal joint must not show severe burning, rusting, or fatigue peeling. Otherwise, they should be replaced. When replacing, ensure the needles are of uniform length and diameter. (3) The retaining tabs (support plates) on the universal joint bearing must be completely secure, and the bolts should be intact. Thread damage should not exceed two threads. If requirements are not met, repair or replace as necessary.

How to Fix Uneven Vehicle Height on One Side?

Possible causes for this situation include: 1. Tire Pressure Issues: Uneven tire pressure between left and right sides. Simply adjust inflation to resolve. 2. Shock Absorber Problems: One shock absorber might be leaking oil and needs replacement. If there are no external factors like accidents, and after confirming all four tires have equal pressure, uneven vehicle height indicates a fault in one side of the suspension system. In most cases, this is caused by insufficient rigidity due to a faulty shock absorber spring. Measure the ground clearance at all four corners of the vehicle - the corner with the smallest clearance indicates the faulty shock absorber spring side. Replacing one shock absorber spring will solve the problem. 3. Suspension Issues: Possible deformation in one side of the suspension system, requiring inspection and repair.
