Generally, the first maintenance for a new car is at 5,000 kilometers. In most cases, it is recommended to visit the service center for maintenance between 4,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Below is some extended information about car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle upkeep. 2. Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. 3. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

I always remember to get the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers when driving a new car, based on years of car ownership experience. The engine of a new car is just breaking in and will produce metal debris. Timely oil and filter changes can remove these particles and extend the engine's lifespan. I recall delaying it once, which resulted in a sharp increase in fuel consumption and nearly voided the warranty. It's advisable to check the vehicle's user manual, as different brands like Toyota or Volkswagen may have variations, but generally, 5,000-8,000 kilometers is the optimal interval. Regular maintenance, though minor, is crucial to avoid major repair costs later and ensures both the safety and performance of the car.

From a professional perspective, the first vehicle maintenance is recommended between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. I always suggest checking the owner's manual first to confirm the exact interval, as this helps maintain the vehicle's condition after the break-in period. The service includes oil change and basic component inspections. Neglecting timely maintenance may lead to accelerated engine wear or increased fuel consumption. For instance, in one case study, vehicles with delayed maintenance showed 30% higher failure rates. Therefore, don't risk major losses for minor savings. The initial investment in maintenance can save significantly more money in the long run.

As a new driver, I was quite confused about this issue when I first bought my car. Typically, the first maintenance is around 5,000 kilometers, focusing on oil change and simple inspections, which helps the car last longer. Skipping it might shorten the overall lifespan. I remember a friend who delayed it and ended up spending more on repairs later. Simply put, making regular maintenance a habit is the way to go.

How to Turn On the Automatic Folding Function for the Vezel's Rearview Mirrors?

The rearview mirror folding switch is located on the driver's side door. The Vezel's rearview mirrors support electric heating and power folding functions, which can be used during rainy or foggy weather, but they do not automatically fold when the car is locked. Rearview mirrors reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the vehicle, allowing the driver to indirectly observe these areas. They act as a "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. Rearview mirrors can be categorized by installation location as follows: 1. Interior Rearview Mirror: The interior rearview mirror allows the driver to confirm the situation behind without significantly shifting their forward view while driving. 2. Exterior Rearview Mirrors: Passenger cars generally mount exterior rearview mirrors on the doors. In Japan, they are often mounted on the fenders. 3. Under-Mirror: The under-mirror enables the driver to see areas beyond the front and rear wheels beneath the car body through the mirror directly in front of the driver's seat. This helps the driver check for people or obstacles near the wheels and the sides of the car when reversing or starting forward, preventing injuries, damage to objects, or harm to the vehicle.

What is the best method to remove formaldehyde from a car?

Methods to remove formaldehyde from the car interior: 1. Bamboo charcoal bags: Place some bamboo charcoal bags in the car. The bamboo charcoal inside these bags has a porous structure with strong adsorption capabilities, effectively absorbing harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, and sulfur dioxide from the car air, while also releasing natural minerals. Additionally, bamboo charcoal bags have excellent moisture absorption properties, helping to dehumidify, deodorize, and prevent mold in the car. 2. Car air purifiers: Install a car air purifier in the vehicle. Car air purifiers can filter the air inside the car, not only effectively removing formaldehyde but also significantly eliminating pollutants like PM2.5, TVOC, odors, and bacteria, thus creating a healthier car environment. 3. Frequent window ventilation: This method is the most economical and practical. Keep the car windows open as much as possible while driving, and even when using air conditioning, opt for the external circulation mode to maintain air flow inside the car. This helps eliminate odors and formaldehyde from the car air, reducing the accumulation of formaldehyde. 4. Photocatalyst spraying: For car formaldehyde removal, you can also visit a professional car detailing shop for photocatalyst spraying. Photocatalyst, similar to regular air fresheners, comes in liquid form and mainly contains titanium dioxide. Upon absorbing ultraviolet rays from sunlight or artificial lighting, it reacts to produce substances that can break down organic compounds and their nutrients, decomposing harmful substances like formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene into harmless water and carbon dioxide. This process purifies the air, effectively preventing mold, eliminating odors, and providing antibacterial and bactericidal effects.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration During Acceleration?

Steering wheel vibration during acceleration can be caused by: 1. Improper tire dynamic balance; 2. Deformed wheel rims; 3. Damaged half-shaft intermediate bearing; 4. Warped wheel hub. Solutions for steering wheel vibration include: 1. Checking and maintaining consistent tire pressure; 2. Performing dynamic balancing on both front wheels; 3. Replacing tires. The steering wheel functions by converting the driver's input force at the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted through the steering shaft. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connecting component between the steering gear and steering shaft, facilitating steering gear standardization while compensating for manufacturing and installation errors, ensuring proper installation of both steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.

Can You Make a U-turn Inside a Highway Toll Station?

You cannot make a U-turn inside a highway toll station. If you are outside the toll station, you can make a U-turn as long as there is an exit provided for U-turns. However, if the highway entrance only has a single road leading directly to the toll station, then a U-turn is definitely not possible. Below is an introduction regarding U-turns at highway toll stations: 1. Making a U-turn before entering the toll station will not result in penalty points: Making a U-turn before entering the toll station will not result in penalty points. If there is no median barrier or if there is a gap in the median barrier in the section before the toll station, you can make a U-turn without it being considered a traffic violation. However, you must carefully observe oncoming traffic to avoid disrupting the normal flow of vehicles. 2. The 'New Traffic Regulations' have corresponding provisions: If a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, they will be penalized with 12 points: (1) Driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type or driving under the influence of alcohol. (2) Operating a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with more than 20% over the permitted passenger capacity; fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime. (3) Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, or intentionally obscuring, damaging, or not installing the license plate as required; using forged or altered motor vehicle license plates, registration certificates, driving licenses, or school bus permits. (4) Driving a motor vehicle on a highway in reverse, against the flow of traffic, or making a U-turn by crossing the central divider.
