Car display showing a wrench symbol is a maintenance reminder. Automakers set this function to alert owners to perform necessary maintenance. After servicing, the maintenance reminder light can only be turned off by following a specific reset procedure. Car maintenance refers to preventive work involving regular inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain components, also known as vehicle servicing. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle's appearance clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. Modern car maintenance mainly covers engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other maintenance areas.

Will 3 points deducted from an A1 driver's license affect the annual inspection?

If a driver's license has no points deducted, it can be exempted from the annual inspection. However, if 3 points are deducted, the annual inspection is required, along with attending study sessions and exams during the inspection. For A2 license holders, if points are deducted within a scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security bureau within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends to undergo the inspection. The inspection includes: handling of road traffic violations and accident situations; physical condition; points deducted for road traffic violations and participation in study sessions and exams after accumulating 12 points. Annual inspection precautions: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the inspection. If the lights are too dim, check the wiring and bulbs for aging, and replace relevant parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to revert to the original headlights before the inspection to pass the test.

Where is the front bumper located?

Located at the front of the car is called the front bumper, and at the rear is called the rear bumper. The car bumper is a type of accessory and consumable part of the body. Generally, toughened modified polypropylene (PP) material is used as the raw material for injection molding - polypropylene Poly(propylene) plastic (commonly known as PP material), which has a high melting point up to 167°C, is heat-resistant, and has a density (0.90g/cm3), making it the lightest among general-purpose plastics. The front and rear ends of the car are equipped with bumpers, which not only have a decorative function but, more importantly, serve as safety devices to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the car body and the safety of passengers. Extended information: 1. The structural composition of the car bumper: The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, and the crossbeam is pressed into a U-shaped groove from cold-rolled thin steel sheets with a thickness of about 1.5 mm; the outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam, and the crossbeam is connected to the frame longitudinal beams with screws, allowing it to be disassembled at any time. 2. Materials: The plastic used for these bumpers is mainly divided into polyester and polypropylene materials, manufactured using injection molding methods. For example, the bumper of the Peugeot 405 sedan is made of polyester material and formed using reaction injection molding.

Can Engine Oil Still Be Used If It Gets Mixed with Water?

Engine oil cannot be used if it gets mixed with water. When engine oil contains excessive water, its performance will deteriorate. Under certain conditions, excessive water can reduce or even nullify the effectiveness of certain additives in the oil, disrupt its viscosity, and prevent the oil from forming a proper lubricating film on moving friction pairs. This can lead to mechanical damage or even failure. Normally, water-free engine oil appears semi-transparent with a bright color. However, when the oil contains a significant amount of water, it will emulsify, turning milky white and developing foam. In such cases, to prevent engine damage, it is necessary to clean the engine and replace the oil.
