Vehicle first-level maintenance refers to the most basic routine inspection and maintenance of a car. It primarily involves tasks such as changing the engine oil and coolant, checking the tires, water pump, and power steering pump tightness, with the goal of eliminating potential safety hazards and maintaining the vehicle's various performance aspects. The main items of a vehicle's first-level maintenance include the following: 1. Changing the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter. Typically, engine oil should be changed every 5,000 KM, and the fuel filter should be changed every 20,000 KM. 2. Checking whether the coolant level meets the specified requirements. Generally, the coolant should be replaced every two years. 3. Checking the brake and clutch fluid levels. Typically, the brake and clutch fluids should be replaced every 30,000 km or every two years. 4. Checking whether the power steering fluid reservoir level meets the specified requirements and inspecting all system oil pipe connections for leaks. 5. Checking the battery fluid level and windshield washer fluid level. If the levels are too low or insufficient, they should be topped up or replaced. 6. Checking the tension and condition of the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and power steering pump belts for signs of aging. If any abnormalities are found, they should be replaced promptly. 7. Checking whether all front and rear lights are functional (including headlights, width marker lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and fog lights) and ensuring their brightness and beam angles meet standards. 8. Checking the tire pressure and wear condition, tightening the tire bolts to the specified torque, inflating the tires to the manufacturer-recommended pressure, and rotating the tires based on wear patterns.

What lights to use when driving behind another vehicle at night?

When driving behind another vehicle at night, use low beam headlights. Below are the usage scenarios for other lights: 1. Driving at night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting conditions: high beam headlights should be turned on. 2. Driving in foggy conditions: fog lights + hazard lights + high beam headlights should be used. 3. Meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges at night: use low beam headlights. 4. Meeting motor vehicles at night: use low beam headlights. 5. In case of vehicle breakdown or traffic accident at night that obstructs traffic and is difficult to move: switch from high beam to position lights + hazard lights. 6. When passing through sharp curves, arched bridges, slopes, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic lights at night: alternately use high and low beam headlights.

What is the appropriate amount of fuel to keep in the tank during summer?

The specific amount to add depends on the driving distance. However, in high temperatures, gasoline stored in the fuel tank for too long can easily produce gum and sediment, which may clog the fuel injectors and cause the engine to operate abnormally. Below are specific methods for choosing engine oil for your car: 1. Performance selection: If you prioritize long-lasting performance, you can choose Mobil oil; if you focus on the cleaning properties of the oil for the engine, you can use Shell lubricants; for lubricants with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. 2. Driving conditions: If you frequently drive in congested areas, have an older vehicle, or operate heavy-duty vehicles for long-distance transport, the viscosity of the lubricant can be appropriately increased. 3. Engine type: Naturally aspirated engines can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably full synthetic oil.

Is the Newly Replaced Steering Gear Always Heavy?

If other components are functioning properly, the newly replaced steering gear should not feel heavy. Here are the relevant details: 1. Introduction: The automotive steering gear, also known as the steering mechanism or steering box, is the most crucial component in a car's steering system. Its function is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to alter the direction of force transmission. 2. Symptoms of Damage: Unstable driving direction, increased steering wheel play, difficulty in steering wheel return, understeer or oversteer, steering wheel vibration, directional wobbling, heavy steering, and unusual noises from the steering gear. 3. Maintenance Methods: Avoid turning the steering wheel while the car is stationary; steer only after the car is in motion. After parking, return the steering wheel to the central position to avoid bearing unnecessary load.

The following is the relevant introduction about new energy vehicles: 1. Introduction: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels and adopt new vehicle power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, forming vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. 2. Definition: The terminology varies by country. In Japan, they are usually called "low-pollution vehicles". In 2001, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan formulated the "Low Pollution Vehicle Development and Popularization Action Plan". The low-pollution vehicles referred to in this plan include five categories: natural gas-fueled vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, methanol-fueled vehicles, and clean gasoline vehicles with the strictest emission and fuel efficiency standards.
