Introduction to the differences between lateral deceleration and longitudinal deceleration: 1. Different appearance: Lateral deceleration markings are rectangular dashed lines; longitudinal deceleration markings are diamond-shaped. 2. Different directions: Lateral deceleration markings are perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel; longitudinal deceleration markings are parallel to the direction of vehicle travel. The standard term for deceleration markings is deceleration zone markings. Below are detailed introductions: 1. Lateral deceleration markings: These are white dashed lines set up in toll plaza areas, exit ramps, or other road sections requiring vehicle deceleration. They come in forms of single dashed lines, double dashed lines, or triple dashed lines, set perpendicular to the direction of travel. Lane lateral deceleration markings consist of a group of parallel white dashed lines to remind drivers to slow down. 2. Longitudinal deceleration markings: Lane longitudinal deceleration markings are a group of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to the lane boundary lines. At the starting position of the lane longitudinal deceleration markings, a gradient section is set up, where the diamond-shaped dashed lines gradually widen from narrow, with the width increasing from centimeters to centimeters. This is one of the newly added markings in the new national standard for road traffic markings (GB78.-dao9).

Does a car that has been used for 3 years need to be serviced at a 4S shop?

It is not necessarily required to service a car that has been used for 3 years at a 4S shop. The decision mainly depends on the usage condition of the car, and servicing does not always have to be done at a 4S shop. Locations for car servicing: After 3 years of use, you may choose not to service your car at a 4S shop. You can select a servicing location based on your needs, such as opting for a third-party professional automotive service provider. If you can ensure that the vehicle will not encounter quality issues requiring warranty claims during the warranty period, you may skip 4S shop servicing. Otherwise, it is advisable to go. Standards for car servicing: A car that has been driven for three years does not necessarily require a major service. If the vehicle has been used infrequently during these three years, with a total mileage of less than 60,000 kilometers, the major service can be slightly delayed. However, basic minor maintenance should still be performed regularly. Generally, 60,000 kilometers is the standard interval for major servicing for most vehicles, and you can use this as a benchmark for judgment.

How Long After Touch-Up Paint Can You Wash the Vehicle?

You can wash the vehicle 48 hours after touch-up painting. After car touch-up painting, the paint needs time to harden before washing is possible. If the weather is warm, hardening may take about 48 hours; if temperatures are low, it may take around 72 hours. Precautions for car touch-up painting include: avoid using water other than soft water, including hot water, alkaline water, or water with high hardness; avoid using high-pressure water jets to wash the car body; avoid indiscriminate use of stain removers; avoid washing the car under direct sunlight; and regularly apply wax or glaze. Methods for car touch-up painting include: prepare protective tape and cloth to cover areas not requiring touch-up; assemble a touch-up pen and spray can; spray paint, maintaining a certain distance from the touch-up area to ensure a smoother finish; wait a few minutes after painting for the paint to partially dry, then prepare blending clear coat; spray blending clear coat on the painted area to better match the touch-up color with the original car color and protect the newly applied paint.

How long does it take to complete paint touch-up at a 4S shop?

At a 4S shop, if it's a large-area paint touch-up, it usually takes 1-2 days to complete. For small-area touch-ups, it can be done within a few hours. The vehicle can be driven away on the same day after the touch-up, but it's important to avoid exposing the touched-up areas to corrosive cleaners such as adhesive removers or tar removers, as these can severely damage the new paint, even causing it to melt completely. Precautions after vehicle paint touch-up: Do not use high-pressure water to wash the car body. The hardness of the touched-up paint is lower compared to the original factory paint, and excessive water pressure can damage the car's paint surface. Avoid using random cleaners. While driving, the vehicle is inevitably exposed to substances like tar, oil stains, and insects, which require careful handling. Check if the paint color matches the original car paint. Although a 100% color match may not be possible, it should be largely consistent with the original factory paint. It's best to check under sunlight, as color perception is greatly affected by lighting. Inspect the smoothness of the paint surface. A normal paint surface should have no pitting, impurities, or dripping marks. Paint touch-up is best done in summer. In winter, the drying time is much longer, and the curing process is slower, making the overall process relatively slower. Although the speed is slower, there is no difference in quality.

How to Solve the Issue When Car Bluetooth Cannot Find Bluetooth Devices?

Use Bluetooth to connect and restart the device. Go to Bluetooth settings and turn off Bluetooth. Wait for 5 seconds, then turn Bluetooth back on. Check the user manual of the car stereo system to learn how to pair with Bluetooth devices. Most cars require phone settings to be configured on the car display. If multiple phones have been connected to the car stereo system, try renaming the device: go to Settings > General > About > Name, then enter a new name. Then attempt to connect again. Reasons why the phone Bluetooth cannot find the car Bluetooth: The car's Bluetooth is not turned on, which prevents the phone Bluetooth from finding the car Bluetooth within range. Solution: Turn on the car Bluetooth in the vehicle settings. The distance from the car is too far. Bluetooth search has a certain range limit, and if the distance is too far, the car Bluetooth cannot be found. Solution: Adjust the distance between the phone and the car. The car Bluetooth name has been changed. If the car Bluetooth name has been changed, the originally set Bluetooth name will not appear in the search list. Solution: Check if the car Bluetooth name has been changed and search again. The car Bluetooth is set to not be discoverable by other Bluetooth devices. If the car Bluetooth is set to not be discoverable by other devices, it will not be found. Solution: Turn on the car Bluetooth and check if it can be discovered by other devices. Enable the Bluetooth discoverable mode.

How many years can a full-body paint job from a 4S store last?

A full-body paint job from a 4S store, if using imported paint with standard application, can last over a decade. If domestic paint is used with good workmanship, it may last around six to seven years. However, with poor workmanship or low-quality materials, the paint could crack within one or two years. The longevity of a 4S store paint job depends on the quality of both the paint and the application. The lifespan of a repaint is generally shorter than the original factory paint. The quality of the repaint largely depends on paint mixing, the painting environment, and the technician's skill level. Complex paint jobs require color codes and computer analysis for mixing, while simpler ones involve adding colorants for comparison. Although the mixed paint won't perfectly match the original factory paint, the color difference is usually indistinguishable to the naked eye. Precautions after vehicle repainting: Avoid using high-pressure water jets to wash the car, as the hardness of repainted surfaces is lower than factory paint, and excessive water pressure can damage the finish. Be cautious with cleaning agents; vehicles inevitably accumulate tar, oil stains, and insect residues during driving, which require careful handling. Check for color consistency with the original paint—while a 100% match is impossible, the repaint should appear nearly identical under sunlight, as color perception is highly light-dependent. Inspect the paint's smoothness: a proper finish should be free of pitting, impurities, or runs.
