Generally speaking, car maintenance refers to the work done to maintain the vehicle in good technical condition and extend its service life. In fact, it encompasses a broader range of activities, including cleaning, inspection, tightening, adjustment, and lubrication. It mainly consists of the following three aspects: 1. Body Maintenance Body maintenance is commonly referred to as car detailing. Its primary purpose is to remove various forms of oxidation and corrosion from both the exterior and interior of the vehicle and then protect it, highlighting the car's 'beauty.' It mainly includes: paint maintenance, seat cushion and carpet maintenance, bumper and skirt maintenance, dashboard maintenance, electroplating maintenance, leather and plastic maintenance, tire and wheel hub warranty, windshield maintenance, chassis maintenance, and engine exterior maintenance. 2. Interior Maintenance While body maintenance aims to keep the car looking youthful, interior maintenance ensures the car can travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers without major repairs, maintaining it in optimal technical condition. It mainly includes: lubrication system, fuel system, cooling system, braking system, and carburetor (fuel injector) maintenance. 3. Body Refurbishment This includes diagnosing and treating deep scratches, repairing multi-material bumpers, fixing hard damage to wheel hubs (covers), refurbishing leather and synthetic fiber materials, and refreshing the engine's color. Car maintenance is divided into two major categories: scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Scheduled maintenance includes: daily maintenance, primary maintenance, and secondary maintenance. Unscheduled maintenance includes: break-in period maintenance and seasonal maintenance.

What Causes the Brake Pedal to Kick Back?

There are several reasons why the brake pedal may kick back: Uneven brake drums: The brake pedal kicking back could be caused by uneven brake drums or discs. Another possibility is air entering the brake lines. For safety reasons, it is best to have the brake system inspected at a repair shop. ABS protection function: When forcefully applying emergency brakes, the brake pedal pulsation is the ABS system activating its protective function. In emergency situations, drivers may slam on the brakes to control speed and avoid danger. However, when the braking system suddenly locks up, it may cause the vehicle to lose lateral control.

Should Rear Passengers Wear Seat Belts?

Rear passengers should wear seat belts. Not wearing a seat belt has become the third leading cause of road traffic fatalities, second only to speeding and drunk driving. Most drivers and front-seat passengers have developed the good habit of fastening their seat belts upon entering the vehicle. However, rear-seat passengers often overlook the importance of wearing seat belts. The dangers of not wearing seat belts in the rear seats are as follows: In the event of a traffic accident, if rear passengers are not wearing seat belts, they may collide with the front seats, roof, windshield, dashboard, or even be thrown out of the vehicle due to the lack of airbag cushioning and protection, seriously endangering their own lives and the safety of the front-seat occupants.

Under what circumstances should the four supporting parts of a car be replaced?

Car four supporting parts should be replaced under the following circumstances: Engine overload: The higher the engine speed and the greater the load, the more mixed gas will enter the crankcase, which can easily cause the oil-gas separator to overload and fail. Excessive clearance: The valve guide and valve clearance in the cylinder head are too large (especially when using butterfly valve braking at this time). Air compressor blow-by: Air compressor blow-by is caused by wear of the air compressor piston rings, which leads to obstruction of the air compressor's exhaust and results in blow-by. For example, blockage of the air compressor's air outlet pipe or drying tank blockage. As the vehicle ages, the clearance values of various parts will also increase, making the probability of such situations more likely to occur.

Is There Harm in Not Straightening the Steering Wheel When Parking?

Not straightening the steering wheel when parking can cause harm. If the steering wheel is not straightened, the vehicle's steering mechanism, tires, and suspension struts remain under continuous stress. Over time, this can accelerate the aging or deformation of these parts, leading to vehicle misalignment and uneven tire wear. After the car is fully stopped, you can feel whether the steering wheel is straightened. If unsure, you can shift into P or D gear and let the car move slightly to check if the wheel is straightened. Drivers can also determine if the steering wheel is straightened by counting the number of turns. A full lock is one and a half turns. If the steering wheel is straight but the wheels are misaligned, it means the steering is at one turn. With practice, you can easily remember which way the steering was turned when parking.
