Does a New Car Come with an Emergency Tool Kit?

New cars do not come with an emergency tool kit, but you can negotiate with the 4S dealership when purchasing the car. Otherwise, you will need to equip it yourself. Maintenance Tool Kit: Includes commonly used small tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers, as well as an emergency triangular tool kit. These emergency repair tool kits usually have reflective strips, and the entire kit resembles a warning sign. Document Tool Kit: Primarily a small PU briefcase-style bag for storing essential documents. Such kits are generally provided in high-end vehicles. Storage Tool Kit: Available in various sizes, mainly determined by the size of the car's trunk. Lengths range from 70CM to 1 meter. Smaller storage bags can usually be folded into a briefcase form, while larger storage bags, weighing between 2.8 to 3.8 kilograms, generally cannot be folded. Vehicles capable of accommodating such large storage bags are typically larger or higher-end models.

What is the problem if the air pressure of the parking brake drops quickly?

If the air pressure of the parking brake drops quickly, it indicates there is air leakage in the air reservoir or air pipes. If there is no leakage after the engine is turned off, it is normal pressure release. Method for bleeding the brake system: First, two people need to cooperate to avoid mistakes. One person is responsible for pressing the brake pedal 4-5 times, while the other person loosens the bleeder screw on the brake caliper. If there is indeed air in the brake lines, some brake fluid and gas will be expelled. Repeat the above steps until only brake fluid comes out, indicating that all the air in the brake lines has been removed. Finally, tighten the bleeder screw to complete the process. Definition of drum brakes: Simply put, drum brakes are braking devices that use stationary brake shoes inside the brake drum to create friction against the rotating brake drum, thereby reducing the wheel's rotation speed.

Should the turn signal be turned off when exiting a parallel parking space?

When exiting a parallel parking space, the turn signal does not need to be manually turned off. It will automatically turn off once the steering wheel is straightened. During the process of exiting a parallel parking space, it is important to control the clutch properly, maintain a slow speed, and avoid stopping midway. The timing of turning the steering wheel must be accurate; otherwise, missing the right moment can easily lead to crossing the line. The main purpose of parallel parking is to enable drivers to master the skill of correctly parking the entire vehicle in a roadside parking space on the right. This skill is primarily used to meet the needs of temporary parking in daily driving situations. Steps for exiting a parallel parking space: After hearing the voice prompt, press the clutch and brake, shift into first gear, turn on the left turn signal, and fully turn the steering wheel to the left. The car will slowly exit the parking space. When the right front corner of the engine hood aligns with the roadside line on the right, straighten the steering wheel and continue moving forward. Continue moving forward until one-third of the left side of the engine hood aligns with the yellow line, then turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right. This will allow the vehicle to navigate around the corner of the parking space and exit. Once the car body is parallel to the direction of the road, turn the steering wheel back to the left to straighten it. At this point, the car body is properly aligned, and you can exit the parallel parking test area.

What is the symbol for high beam?

Generally, on the dashboard, the high beam symbol is blue with straight light projection lines without any tilt; the low beam symbol is green with downward-tilted light projection lines. More information about modifying car lights is as follows: 1. Legal basis: Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states, "No unit or individual may assemble motor vehicles or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of motor vehicles without authorization." Article 97 further stipulates: "Illegal installation of alarms or marking lights shall be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan shall be imposed." 2. Introduction: Halogen lamps emit light by heating a filament to incandescence, while xenon lamps rely on high-voltage arc discharge for illumination. Compared to ordinary halogen car lamps, xenon lamps have the advantages of lower energy consumption, higher brightness, longer range, and longer lifespan. The disadvantages of xenon lamps include poor light focus and the potential to impair the vision of oncoming drivers due to excessive brightness (which can be mitigated with lenses). Xenon lamps also have weak penetration and a delayed response effect.

What are the reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption?

There are several reasons that may cause a sudden increase in fuel consumption: 1. The use of inappropriate fuel may be a factor. 2. Aging spark plugs or excessive carbon buildup can directly reduce ignition efficiency. 3. Issues in the fuel system, such as a dirty or clogged fuel filter or a faulty fuel injector, can also lead to higher fuel consumption. If you notice a sudden increase in fuel consumption, it is best to have your vehicle thoroughly inspected at a repair shop. Additional information: Recommended spark plug replacement intervals are as follows: 1. For nickel alloy center electrodes: If the spark plug's center electrode is made of nickel alloy, it is recommended to replace it every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. 2. For platinum or iridium center and side electrodes: If both the center and side electrodes of the spark plug are made of platinum or iridium, it is recommended to replace them every 80,000 kilometers, and clean carbon deposits from the spark plugs as needed. 3. For platinum center electrodes only: If only the center electrode of the spark plug is made of platinum or iridium, it is recommended to replace it every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers.
