How many kilometers is the first maintenance for a new Classic Sylphy?

New cars generally require their first maintenance between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Typically, domestic vehicles have their first service at around 3,500 kilometers, while some joint-venture and imported cars usually have their first maintenance at approximately 5,000 kilometers. Therefore, new cars generally undergo their first service within the range of 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. The inspection and reasonable maintenance plan for new cars are as follows: New car maintenance inspection: During the first maintenance, a comprehensive inspection is required. During the driving process, the break-in period of car components may reveal issues that can be identified and resolved during the first service. If the problem is due to the manufacturer, the car can be sent back for repair. Reasonable maintenance plan for new cars: Change the engine oil and oil filter. Next, check whether the throttle is dirty—if cleaned, a computer reset is necessary. Replace the air filter and cabin air filter, but it is not recommended to simply blow them with compressed air and continue using them. Such an operation may damage the filter paper, allowing large particles of dust to enter the engine and cause unnecessary wear.

Is Rust Inside the Car Wheel Hub a Serious Issue?

Generally, rust inside the car wheel hub is not a serious issue, as long as it is not extensive rust that causes the hub to deform, which would have no impact on the vehicle's performance. Causes of Wheel Hub Rust: Actually, rust on the wheel hub does not mean the hub itself is rusting. It occurs because the car is exposed to a humid environment for a long time, and with prolonged use, the hub surface inevitably gets scratched or damaged. Then, when the car is washed with poor-quality cleaning agents containing acids or alkalis, the hub may corrode and rust. Treatment Methods for Wheel Hub Rust: For minor rust on the wheel hub, you can first use very fine water sandpaper dipped in water to gently sand off the rust spots. After completely cleaning the area, apply a layer of primer to ensure the rust does not spread or worsen. For new scratches, clean the area and directly apply primer. Most vehicles come with a small can of original paint. Although this treatment may not look perfect, it is not a big issue for very small areas.

Will a Car Get Damaged from Daily Sun Exposure?

Daily prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause problems for a car, as high temperatures directly accelerate the aging of rubber components, paint fading, and the deterioration or damage of electronic components inside the vehicle. Accelerated Aging of Rubber Components: Under direct sunlight, the rubber parts of a vehicle can develop cracks and deteriorate due to UV radiation, leading to reduced braking efficiency, poor traction, increased fuel consumption, and decreased power. Tires are particularly affected, with their lifespan significantly shortened. Paint Fading: The car's paint, being the largest surface area exposed to sunlight, undergoes oxidation reactions between metal ions in the paint and oxygen ions in the air when exposed to prolonged sun exposure. For example, white cars may turn pale yellow over time, while darker-colored cars gradually lose their luster and vibrancy. In severe cases, the paint may even peel off. Aging or Damage to Electronic Components: Under intense sun exposure, the interior temperature of a car can soar above 60 degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to such high temperatures accelerates the aging and failure rate of electronic components inside the vehicle. For instance, most sensors experience a significantly reduced lifespan in high-temperature environments. Additionally, leaving hazardous items like sunglasses or lighters inside the car can pose serious safety risks.

How to Remove the Car Glove Box?

The method for removing the car glove box: 1. Open the car glove box, remove the piston buffer latch on the right side, and rotate the right fixing button counterclockwise; 2. There are knobs on the upper and lower sides inside the glove box. Remove the knobs on both sides, and the glove box can be opened; 3. After opening the glove box, you can see the fixing latches between the glove box and the base. Use a latch remover to remove the fixing latch on the right side of the glove box. Similarly, after removing the left latch, the glove box can be taken off. There are two types of car glove box bodies: fixed type and dump type. The fixed type refers to the internal part of the frame serving as the inner compartment of the glove box, with the storage space located within the instrument panel body. The dump type means the inner compartment is integrated with the door inner panel, and the storage space is on the door. When the door is opened, the inner compartment will flip out together. The dump type makes it more convenient for the owner to take items, but its structure reduces the internal space of the glove box, making it unsuitable for storing larger items. It also makes it difficult to arrange components such as glove box lights. In contrast, the fixed type provides a larger space.
