The maintenance items required for a car that has traveled 20,000 kilometers mainly include: changing the engine oil, replacing the air filter, replacing the cabin air filter, replacing the oil filter, and replacing some wear-prone parts and fluids. The wear-prone parts of a car include brake pads, tires, wipers, brake discs, various filters, spark plugs, ignition coils, etc. The car's fluids include engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. During car maintenance, it is recommended that the owner check the moisture content of the brake fluid. Brake fluid is highly absorbent, and if its moisture content exceeds 3%, it needs to be replaced immediately. The remaining lifespan of wear-prone parts should also be checked, especially tires. Tires are rubber products and will age over time. They are typically replaced every four years, but for owners who drive frequently, it is advisable to shorten the tire replacement cycle.

What are the reasons for a car's air conditioning not cooling?

Reasons for a car's air conditioning not cooling: 1. Lack of refrigerant; 2. Damaged air conditioning flap; 3. Dirty condenser; 4. Damaged air conditioning compressor, throttle valve, or expansion valve; 5. Aged or loose belt; 6. Water in the pipeline; 7. Leakage in the air conditioning system pipeline; 8. Blocked condenser fins or excessively high system temperature, resulting in poor cooling effect, etc. Things to note for cleaning and using car air conditioning: 1. The air filter is used to filter dust, pollen, and bacteria in the air, effectively preventing the air conditioning system from being polluted by external factors. The filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. 2. The refrigerant level can be checked through the drying bottle or the glass sight glass on the air conditioning pipeline. 3. Do not open the internal and external pipelines of the car by yourself.

What does a car and a lock symbol displayed on the dashboard mean?

When a car and a lock symbol appear on the dashboard, it indicates that the vehicle's anti-theft system is activated. The primary function of the car anti-theft system is to prevent unauthorized individuals from stealing the vehicle using its own power, specifically by preventing illegal engine starts. The vehicle anti-theft system and the engine immobilizer system are essential for ensuring vehicle security. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch and turned to the 'ON' position, if the password verification is successful, the warning light will turn off, allowing the engine to start. If the password verification fails, the warning light will flash at a frequency of once every 2 seconds. When the vehicle is left unattended and locked, the electronic anti-theft system enters sleep mode, and the warning light will flash at a frequency of once every 5 seconds.

What to Do If the Driver's License Expires and Is Not Renewed in Time?

If the driver's license expires and is not renewed in time, you can apply for a deferred renewal. If a motor vehicle driver is unable to renew the license within the specified time due to reasons such as military service or going abroad, they may apply for deferred renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued. When applying, the applicant must fill out an application form and submit proof of identity, the motor vehicle driver's license, and documentation supporting the reason for deferral. During the deferral period, the driver is not permitted to operate a motor vehicle. If the driver's license has been expired for more than one year but less than two years, the driver can restore the license to normal use by passing the subject one exam. If the license has been expired for more than two years, the driver must reapply for a new license.

Should vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers use dry powder or water-based agents?

Vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers can use either dry powder or water-based agents. Dry powder fire extinguishers work by chemically inhibiting the fire through the volatile decomposition products of inorganic salts in the powder, or by the powder particles covering the surface of the combustible material to cut off oxygen supply. Water-based fire extinguishers spray fire suppressant that evaporates the heat from the fire scene, rapidly lowering the temperature. The surfactant in the agent quickly forms a water film on the surface of the combustible material, isolating oxygen and providing both cooling and isolating effects, while also participating in fire suppression to achieve rapid extinguishing. Common causes of vehicle fires include electrical fires and fuel leakage fires. For electrical fires, water-based mist extinguishers are more suitable; for fuel fires, water-based foam extinguishers are better. Dry powder fire extinguishers, on the other hand, have good versatility and a wide range of applications, making them suitable for both types of fires mentioned above.
