Items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; vehicle registration certificate; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle's purchase invoice. Bring these to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after the new car has been driven. The specific time varies by vehicle, usually after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. The car needs to undergo the first maintenance promptly—neither earlier nor delayed. The completion of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven at standard loads and normal speeds as required. The first maintenance time is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever indicator is met first will be the basis. First maintenance items include: oil change, oil filter replacement, cleaning the air filter, checking various fluid levels, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure and inspecting tires for damage or bulges, etc. Time required: Approximately 2 hours to complete all tasks. The most important part of the first maintenance for a new car is changing the oil and oil filter. When changing the oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of oil must refer to the Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual, as different models require different oil specifications. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. Here, it is important to note that the interior should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, scrub them with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many drainage holes under the rubber mats on the cabin floor. If water enters, it will not dry naturally but will flow through the holes to areas like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. The best practice is to vacuum clean and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is insufficient, it is recommended to drain the existing antifreeze and refill it with the same brand from the start. Since antifreeze brands differ, their chemical properties also vary significantly. Different types of corrosion inhibitors can corrode each other. Different brands of antifreeze use different corrosion inhibitors, so they should not be mixed to avoid unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function properly again. To prevent rust on wheel bolts and nuts, some people apply lubricant, but this can pose safety risks. When the car is driven at high speeds, the bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving malfunctions. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a conventional car. Its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.

As a new owner who just bought a Haval H6, I think the first maintenance really needs to be well prepared! You must bring the vehicle registration certificate and ID card, as the 4S shop needs to verify the information to prove the car is yours—otherwise, they won’t perform the maintenance. Don’t forget the maintenance manual, which often includes the free first-service coupon. If you forget it, you’ll have to pay out of pocket. The car key is also crucial—they need it to open the hood for inspections. I recommend making an appointment in advance, either through the Haval app or by phone, to avoid wasting time waiting in line at the shop. The first maintenance usually includes basic tasks like changing the engine oil, checking tire pressure and the lighting system. The 4S shop might also clean the air filter. Remember to bring a phone charger to pass the time watching videos while waiting, and don’t forget to ask about the next maintenance schedule and note it down. Overall, bringing all these items will save you trouble and give you peace of mind—unlike me last time when I forgot the manual and had to make a wasted trip.

What Are the Precautions for Driving in the Rain?

Precautions for driving in the rain include ensuring the vehicle's mechanical systems are functioning properly and reducing speed; promptly turning on fog lights, and continuously monitoring the wipers, brake system, headlights, taillights, and tire pressure. If the rainfall is heavy and visibility is less than 100 meters, all lights should be turned on, and if possible, pull over to the side of the road. If stopping is not an option, proceed at a low speed while avoiding acceleration and braking, and strictly avoid changing lanes. Resume normal driving only when the rain eases. Rain can easily lead to water accumulation, especially in areas like underpasses, where standing water can cause significant damage to the vehicle. It is advisable to avoid severely waterlogged sections of the road whenever possible. If driving through water is unavoidable, check the water depth beforehand and proceed only if it is safe to do so.

When Does a Vehicle Start to Be Considered as Scrap?

The scrap age of a vehicle varies depending on the type: commercial vehicles, motorcycles, full trailers, semi-trailers for hazardous goods transportation, and other motor vehicles are calculated based on their service life. However, vehicles that reach a certain mileage are also guided to be scrapped. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, as well as large non-commercial cars, have no service life limit and can be used as long as they pass the annual inspection. The so-called scrap vehicle refers to a vehicle that has reached a certain service life or has been severely damaged or has poor technical conditions due to other reasons, cannot be repaired, and is compulsorily scrapped according to government regulations. Due to the poor mechanical performance and aging parts of scrap vehicles, coupled with drivers who, in order to carry passengers, haul goods, or make money, arbitrarily reassemble, modify, or damage the balance and stability of the vehicle structure, if the vehicle continues to be used when its technical condition does not meet the requirements, it will lead to various failures, directly affecting driving safety and inducing traffic accidents.

How many points are deducted for not yielding to a school bus?

Not yielding to a school bus results in a 6-point deduction. The correct method to yield when encountering a stopped school bus: On a road with only one lane in the same direction: When a school bus stops on a road with only one lane in the same direction, vehicles behind must stop and wait, and are not allowed to overtake. On a road with two or more lanes in the same direction: When a school bus stops on a road with two or more lanes in the same direction, vehicles in the same lane behind and in adjacent lanes must stop and wait, while vehicles in other lanes should slow down and pass. When riding a school bus, always fasten your seatbelt; otherwise, you may suffer collision injuries during braking. Eating or drinking is prohibited while the school bus is in motion to avoid food or beverages entering the respiratory tract during sudden braking or accidental collisions, which could cause harm or endanger life safety.

Can the license plate of a scrapped car be retained?

Can the license plate of a scrapped car be retained? After a vehicle is scrapped, the license plate number is reclaimed. When the vehicle owner purchases a new car, they need to choose a new license plate number. However, some vehicle owners wish to continue using the original license plate number. According to regulations from the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, within 6 months of the original vehicle being scrapped, the vehicle owner can apply to continue using the original license plate number when registering a new car, or they can choose a new license plate number. If the original owner or the unit owner does not apply to continue using the license plate number within 6 months, the vehicle management office will reclaim the license plate and make it available for reuse. If the scrapped vehicle is involved in unresolved road traffic violations or accidents, the original owner or unit owner cannot apply to use the original license plate number.

What are the P, R, N, and DS gears on a car?

P stands for Parking gear: When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. R stands for Reverse gear: The car can only be shifted into R gear when it is completely stopped and the brake pedal is pressed. N stands for Neutral gear: N gear is used for temporary stops, such as at a red light. Note that this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the car from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed. D stands for Drive gear: When shifted into this gear for driving, the driver's task is to control the throttle and brake—press the throttle to accelerate and the brake to decelerate. S stands for Sport mode: In S Sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for longer to increase the vehicle's power.

How to open the fuel tank of a Jeep Compass?

The method to open the fuel tank of a Jeep Compass: Lift the metal fuel tank cover, insert the key into the fuel tank cap, turn the key to the right, grip the fuel tank cap's rotating knob and turn it to the left to open the fuel cap, then hang the plastic cord on the cap onto the hook of the metal cover. Generally, the ways to open a fuel tank cap in household cars are limited to using a key, an interior switch, or simply pressing it open. The mechanical key method is more complicated, which is why few household cars use it nowadays.
