Maintenance refers to the further protection of items, such as car maintenance, which involves maintaining components and adding lubricating oil, while repair is needed when something is worn out or broken. Maintenance is performed when the item is not damaged. Additional extended information is as follows: 1. Oil maintenance cycle: Oil also has a shelf life. Generally, the maintenance cycle for most cars is every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers, while some cars require maintenance every year or 10,000 kilometers. 2. Spark plug maintenance cycle: For most cars, spark plugs generally require maintenance every 60,000 kilometers. The specific maintenance intervals vary for each car, so it is necessary to refer to the maintenance manual. Spark plugs are used for ignition, so they operate at high temperatures.

What does a TC with a slash on the dashboard mean?

The appearance of a TC icon with a slash on the dashboard indicates that the traction control system is turned off. The illuminated light does not signify a fault in the car; it is merely a reminder icon, so there is no need to worry. Once the system is turned back on, the slash will disappear. Below is relevant information about the car's traction control system: 1. Cars equipped with a traction control system will, during driving, activate the ABS anti-lock braking system when it detects wheel slippage. The system will then apply braking to the slipping wheel to prevent loss of traction, thereby improving the vehicle's passability. 2. When the system is active, a yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard will flash to alert the driver. 3. The traction control system in a car is highly important, second only to seat belts in significance. It reduces the occurrence of wheel spin and ensures the car maintains good stability during driving. 4. The traction control system automatically activates when the car starts. If the wheels show any signs of slipping, the system will intervene immediately.

Is it normal for the fuel nozzle to occasionally click off when refueling a new car?

It is normal for the fuel nozzle to occasionally click off when refueling a new car. Reasons for the nozzle clicking off during refueling: This may be due to blockages or poor fuel flow in the fuel line. Additionally, it's important to check the ventilation condition of the air vent near the fuel filler neck. If the vent pipe is blocked or deformed, causing poor air circulation, it can easily lead to the nozzle clicking off. Refueling precautions: Try not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and operates at high temperatures during continuous use. Being submerged in fuel helps to effectively cool it down. When the fuel light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level has dropped below the pump. Consistently waiting until the light comes on to refuel can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. Having too little fuel or running out of fuel completely may even cause the fuel pump to burn out.

What Causes Gear Shifting Noise?

Gear shifting noise can be caused by: the clutch not being fully depressed; loose linkage mechanism; severely worn clutch disc or damaged pressure plate; incomplete gear engagement, etc. Solutions for gear shifting noise: Ensure the clutch is fully depressed; inspect and tighten the linkage mechanism; replace damaged clutch discs; master proper gear shifting techniques to ensure complete engagement. Correct gear shifting steps: Shift gears according to vehicle speed. Generally, start in first gear, shift to second after moving a few meters; shift to third when speed reaches above 20 mph but below 35 mph; shift to fourth between 35-45 mph; shift to fifth above 45 mph. Gear shifting precautions: In cold weather, start driving in low gear and gradually shift up after full lubrication of transmission components to prevent mechanical damage. After shifting, don't rest left foot on clutch pedal to avoid partial clutch engagement and increased wear - place foot on floorboard. While shifting, maintain proper driving posture with both hands on steering wheel and gear knob, looking forward to prevent dangerous steering deviations.

Is there a difference between unlicensed driving and not having obtained a driving qualification?

There is a difference between unlicensed driving and not having obtained a driving qualification. The differences between unlicensed driving and not having obtained a driving qualification: Unlicensed driving refers to operating a motor vehicle without a driving qualification, which may result in fines and possible detention if caught. Not carrying a driver's license while driving means the driver is qualified to drive but simply forgot to bring the license, which incurs a fine and a one-point deduction. The hazards of unlicensed driving: If a traffic accident is caused by the fault of the unlicensed driver, they shall bear full responsibility. For road traffic accidents caused by the fault of both or multiple parties, a comprehensive analysis should be conducted based on the actions of each party and the severity of their faults, and they shall respectively bear primary, equal, or secondary responsibility. If none of the parties are at fault for causing the road traffic accident, meaning no party is responsible for the accident, and if one party intentionally causes the road traffic accident, the other party shall not bear responsibility.

What causes the tire pressure light to illuminate in the 2019 Bora?

Reasons for the tire pressure light illuminating in the 2019 Bora: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will trigger if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle without a seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of this indicator signifies abnormal tire pressure.
