New car break-in period lasts for one month. Below are relevant introductions about the break-in period: Definition of break-in period: The break-in period generally refers to the process where mechanical components initially come into contact, rub against each other, and mesh together during early operation. In modern usage, it often describes the period when two entities or internal operations within an organization familiarize and adapt to each other, and can also refer to the initial stage of relationships or marriages where mutual familiarity develops. Mileage for break-in period: Break-in is also called running-in. The automotive break-in period refers to the initial driving phase of a new car or after major repairs, typically covering 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers. This mileage ensures that components fully contact, rub against each other, adapt, and stabilize. During this period, the car's various parts can adjust and enhance their ability to adapt to the environment, while wearing down any protrusions on components. The quality of a car's break-in will significantly impact its lifespan, safety, and fuel efficiency.

Has the environmental protection sticker on the car been canceled?

The environmental protection sticker on the car has been canceled. The removal of the green environmental protection label is because it has been merged with the vehicle inspection label. This does not mean that vehicles no longer need to undergo emissions testing. Every time a vehicle undergoes its annual inspection, emissions testing is still required. Only after passing the emissions test is the vehicle allowed on the road. Vehicle annual inspection refers to the annual examination of vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted in accordance with the technical conditions for the safe operation of motor vehicles. The purpose is to check the technical condition of the vehicle, enhance vehicle maintenance and upkeep, ensure the vehicle is in good condition, and guarantee its performance and driving safety.

How often should tires be replaced under normal conditions?

Under normal conditions, tires should be replaced every 3 years. If the vehicle is driven 20,000 kilometers per year, replacement should be considered every 2 to 3 years; if it's driven around 10,000 kilometers annually, replacement should be considered every 4 to 5 years. Tires are often used in complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during operation. Therefore, they must possess relatively high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties. Car tires are one of the crucial components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working in conjunction with the suspension system to mitigate shocks encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation.

What are the emergency handling methods for a tire blowout?

Wheel blowout emergency handling methods include: firmly hold the steering wheel with both hands, try to maintain straight-line driving, do not slam on the brakes, repeatedly press and release the brake pedal to use intermittent braking, turn on the hazard warning lights after the vehicle speed decreases, pull over to a safe area, place the triangular warning sign on the road behind the vehicle, and replace the spare tire as soon as possible. A tire blowout refers to the phenomenon where a tire suddenly loses air and goes flat within a matter of seconds due to rupture. Tire blowouts are one of the frequent accidents for cars in summer, mostly caused by improper tire maintenance by the vehicle owner.

Is It Safe to Spray Alcohol in the Car?

Spraying alcohol in the car is safe, but the vehicle must be turned off and kept in a non-operational state, while ensuring proper ventilation. Since 75% alcohol has a flash point around 22°C and evaporates quickly, car owners must ensure there are no open flames nearby and control the amount of alcohol used to avoid high airborne alcohol concentrations that could lead to explosions. After disinfecting the car, avoid smoking inside or closing the windows completely, as rising temperatures reaching the alcohol's ignition point may cause explosions or fires. Additionally, wiping surfaces with alcohol may damage genuine leather seats, so extra caution is needed.
