If the first maintenance of the car is overdue and has not been performed, it is recommended that the owner immediately go to a 4S shop for the first maintenance. The first maintenance of the car is very simple, requiring only an oil change and oil filter replacement. The mileage for the first maintenance is generally 5,000 kilometers. Engine oil is very important for the engine, as it is referred to as the blood of the engine, playing roles in lubrication, heat dissipation, cleaning, and sealing within the engine. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking at High Speed?

Here are the reasons for the clicking sound when braking at high speed: 1. If there is a clicking sound when braking hard, it is best to have it inspected at a professional repair shop. 2. Even if some noises are normal, such as during the break-in period of a new car or ABS operation, braking is a critical aspect of driving safety, so it's better to be cautious. Below is more information about braking: (1) If you hear a "click" sound between the transmission and the gear lever when pressing the brake pedal, the main cause is the electronic linkage between the braking system and the automatic transmission. Pressing the brake activates the transmission solenoid valve, producing the "click" sound, and you must press the gear lock button to shift—this serves as a safety reminder. (2) If the clicking sound occurs even with light braking, or if your vehicle does not have an automatic gear lock button, or if the sound is continuous or recurring, you should be very careful. It is highly likely that there is a fault in the braking system or a loose connection in the chassis. For safety reasons, the owner should promptly take the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection.

What are the reasons for abnormal noises in the Lavida on bumpy roads?

Common causes of abnormal noises in the Lavida when driving on bumpy roads or over potholes may include the following: 1. Oil leakage or bending of the shock absorber itself, which can be resolved by direct replacement. 2. Abnormal aging or wear of the shock absorber pressure bearing, which can be fixed by direct replacement or lubrication. 3. Deformation of the shock absorber spring, which requires direct replacement. 4. It could also be due to abnormal noise from the wheel bearing, which can be resolved by direct replacement. Below are some methods for checking shock absorber faults: 1. Check whether the shock absorber is leaking oil. Look directly at the shock absorber housing or dust cover when it is not raining or the car has not been washed. This can be easily seen at a glance. 2. Listen carefully. At low speeds, when the wheels pass over road bumps or experience slight vibrations, there may be a dull thudding sound. The noise from the shock absorber is different from other chassis noises—it is very muffled. If it is the front shock absorber, there may also be noticeable vibration felt on the steering wheel. An experienced driver can accurately determine which suspension is making the noise.

Can I Not Engage the Handbrake When in Neutral Gear?

You can choose not to engage the handbrake when the car is in neutral gear. Below are the key functions of the handbrake: 1. When parking, pulling up the handbrake keeps the car stationary and prevents it from rolling downhill. 2. While driving, pulling up the handbrake during turns can induce a drift effect. Note: Drifting on public roads is strictly prohibited. 3. In emergencies, the handbrake can serve as a secondary braking system. Correct usage methods are as follows: (1) Always engage the handbrake when stopped on an incline to prevent rolling. (2) Never use the handbrake as a substitute for the foot brake during high-speed driving. (3) Driving with the handbrake engaged causes accelerated brake wear.
