Vehicle daily maintenance is defined and includes the following: 1. To prevent accidents and ensure driving safety, it is essential to continuously understand and monitor the technical condition of the vehicle. Drivers must adhere to daily maintenance practices while using the car. 2. The main content of vehicle daily maintenance involves adhering to the "three checks"; maintaining "four cleanings"; and preventing "four leaks". The vehicle's daily maintenance tasks are specified as follows: 1. Exterior of the vehicle body: Inspect and clean all mirrors inside and outside the cabin, as well as the windshield and windows; check the overall appearance, paint, and corrosion of the vehicle; inspect and adjust tire conditions and the tightness of wheel bolts; check and adjust the condition of wiper blades; inspect for any fluid leaks throughout the vehicle; lubricate doors and the engine hood; check and adjust the battery fluid level or inspect the battery hydrometer reading. 2. Interior of the vehicle body: Inspect and adjust the status of lights and signals; check and adjust the operation of the horn; inspect the condition of wipers and windshield washers; check the operation of the windshield defroster; adjust rearview mirrors and sun visors; check the free play of the steering wheel and its smooth rotation; inspect the operation of the accelerator pedal; check the free play of the clutch and brake pedals, as well as the smoothness of pressing and releasing; evaluate the braking performance of the brakes; and check the braking performance of the parking brake.

What is four-wheel alignment?

Four-wheel alignment refers to the adjustment of the relative positions of the car's wheels, shock absorbers, steering rods, and other chassis components during installation. The reasons for performing a four-wheel alignment include the following: 1. Vehicle pulling: When you steer straight ahead, the car may pull to the left or right on its own, potentially veering several meters off course with little warning, which greatly impacts safe driving. 2. Uneven tire wear: Long-term high-speed driving can cause severe uneven tire wear, significantly reducing tire lifespan. 3. Other issues such as the car feeling unstable, skidding, unsteady steering, or abnormal wear of suspension system components.

Why does an automatic transmission car not move when shifted to D gear and accelerating?

The main reasons why an automatic transmission car does not move when shifted to D gear and accelerating are: 1. When the transmission shift valve position sensor signal is incorrect: it cannot sense which gear it is in. 2. Problems with the shift valve: the gear is not engaged properly, and the oil passage cannot open. Here are some additional explanations: 1. Automatic transmission cars usually use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. 2. When the shift lever is placed in the forward gear and the brake pedal is released, as the accelerator is pressed and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.

How Long Does It Take to Practice for Subject 3 Driving Test?

According to the teaching syllabus, Subject 3 requires 24 class hours. Unlike Subject 2, usually, the instructor will arrange 1-2 days of intensive training one week before the test. Key points to note for Subject 3: 1. Gear Shifting: Do not look down at the gear lever when shifting gears. If you shift to the wrong gear, first return to the original gear and then shift again. 2. Speed: On sections without specific gear-shifting requirements, it is best to drive at 25 km/h in 2nd gear. 3. Lights: Pay attention to the timing when using lights—starting too early, too late, or lasting too short can affect test results. When using turn signals, it is advisable to hold the turn signal lever to prevent it from automatically turning off as the steering wheel returns to the center.

Where is the USB port in the Volkswagen Santana?

The USB port in the Volkswagen Santana is located below the air conditioning controls on the center console. The USB interface is a type of vehicle transmission cable known for its fast data transfer, ease of use, support for hot-swapping, flexible connectivity, and independent power supply. It is typically a universal port for connecting USB devices such as flash drives and MP3 players. Below is more information about car USB ports: 1. Car USB ports are primarily designed for transmitting audio data. The current output of car USB ports can vary, with some providing 5V/2.1A and others 5V/0.5A. Many smartphones require an input current of 5V/1A, so a 5V/2.1A car USB port can safely provide 1A to a phone and 2A to a tablet. 2. A car charger is a device that converts the 12V from the cigarette lighter to 5V USB power, allowing it to charge phones and tablets. There is also another type that converts the 12V DC from the cigarette lighter to 220V AC, which can be used with low-power appliances when connected via a power strip.

How to Deal with Fogging Inside the Car During Summer Rain

Solutions for fogging inside the car during summer rain are as follows: 1. Preventive methods like spraying anti-fog agents: Spray a small amount of defogger on the car windows (inner side) and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains from the glass. While polishing the glass, it forms a thin transparent protective film that effectively prevents moisture from condensing on the glass and forming a fog layer. 2. Air conditioning cooling method: Use the air conditioning's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. 3. Air conditioning warm air method: During summer rain, you can also blow warm air onto the glass to quickly raise the temperature of the front glass, reducing the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the window. This can promptly prevent excessive fogging on the windshield. However, it should be noted that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to completely remove all the fog.

What are the three braking methods of motor vehicles?

There are mainly three braking methods in automobiles, which represent service braking, parking braking, and engine braking respectively. They are the braking methods used in different scenarios. Detailed introduction to the three braking methods of motor vehicles: 1. Service braking: commonly known as 'foot brake'. It is the braking method used during normal driving, mainly by converting the mechanical force of the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted to the brake and applied to the four tires of the vehicle to achieve the braking effect. 2. Parking braking: also commonly known as 'hand brake'. It is the braking method used when the vehicle is parked, preventing the vehicle from sliding when stationary. The main working principle involves connecting a steel wire cable to the brake shoe to apply braking, generally acting on the rear wheels of the vehicle. 3. Engine braking: compared to service braking and parking braking, engine braking is somewhat more special. It mainly utilizes the compression resistance, exhaust resistance, and internal friction generated during engine operation to brake the drive wheels. It is generally used in special environments, such as muddy roads and icy conditions.
