There are differences between buying a car at an auto mall and a 4S store in terms of product guarantee, after-sales service, and maintenance warranty. Below is relevant information: 1. Precautions: When picking up the car, pay attention to the odometer reading: it is generally within 100 kilometers. Check if there are any debris in the radiator, if the seat protective packaging and the plastic sheet on the front of the car are intact, and if there are any stains on the interior driving position and dashboard. When picking up a pre-ordered car, pay attention to whether the manufacturing date and the pickup date are too far apart. If the time gap is too long, the car might be a display car or a refurbished car. 2. Detailed introduction: Observe the car paint from different angles to see if the color is consistent and check for any scratches. Some cars may have been scratched during transportation. Inspect the tire tread for any scratches, bulges, or heavy friction marks. Tires are crucial for driving safety, and problematic tires are prone to blowouts.

Which Foot Controls the Accelerator, Brake, and Clutch?

Left foot for the clutch, right foot for the accelerator and brake. Function of the Clutch: While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the gearbox. This ensures smooth starting or seamless gear shifting. Function of the Brake: Used to decelerate, either to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Function of the Accelerator: By controlling the pedal's depression, it regulates the engine throttle opening, intake air volume, and computer-controlled fuel injection, thereby adjusting the engine's speed.

Is it necessary to clean carbon deposits in the cylinder?

It is necessary to clean carbon deposits in the cylinder. The methods for removing carbon deposits are: 1. Disassemble and clean various engine components; 2. Use an intravenous drip method to clean the car; 3. Add fuel cleaner to the fuel tank. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. The main components of carbon deposits in a car are: 1. Metal debris generated from engine friction and wear; 2. Dust from the air; 3. Sticky substances formed when engine oil oxidizes, thickens, and acidifies under high temperatures; 4. Paint film produced by the oxidation and concentration of lubricating oil.

What are the rules for right turns at red lights?

When the red light is on, vehicles making a right turn may proceed provided they do not hinder the passage of released vehicles or pedestrians. Below is a partial introduction to the rules for turning at traffic lights: 1. Left turns: When driving a motor vehicle to make a left turn at an intersection controlled by traffic signals, enter the left-turn lane or drive on the left side of the road in advance and wait for the release signal. At intersections with left-turn waiting area lines, enter the waiting area when the straight-through green light is on. When the green light or green left-turn arrow light is on, make a low-speed turn to the left of the intersection center point. 2. Right turns: When the red light is on, vehicles making a right turn may proceed provided they do not hinder the passage of released vehicles or pedestrians.

How long can a vehicle be parked without turning off the engine?

Vehicles can be parked without turning off the engine until the fuel is exhausted, with the specific duration depending on the fuel level. Here are relevant details: 1. Idling: Idling refers to the operation of the engine without any load, where it only needs to overcome the internal friction resistance of its components and does not output power externally. The minimum speed required to maintain stable engine operation is called idling speed, which is one of the five basic operating conditions of an engine. 2. Gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained through the distillation and cracking of petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C, and mainly consists of C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes.
