When the car maintenance time is due but the mileage has not reached the standard, the car should still be serviced because maintenance has two indicators: time and mileage, and whichever comes first should be followed. This is especially important for the first maintenance of a car, which must be done promptly to avoid potential hazards. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Definition of car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. Purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers to prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

My years of driving experience have taught me that when the maintenance time is up but the mileage hasn't been reached, never slack off and ignore it. You see, even if the car isn't driven, the engine oil will slowly oxidize and deteriorate over time, reducing its lubricating effect and making internal engine components more prone to wear. Like what happened to me before—less than 5,000 kilometers in six months, and I thought it was fine. But then I noticed abnormal noises during startup, and a check revealed the oil quality had degraded. Fortunately, I dealt with it in time to avoid greater damage. I recommend directly consulting the vehicle manual for the manufacturer's specific guidelines; usually, maintenance is based on whichever comes first—time or mileage. It's best to follow the manual's requirements and get maintenance done at a 4S shop or a reputable repair shop. If you're too busy at the moment, you can start with simple self-checks like inspecting the oil dipstick and tire pressure to ensure daily safety. Developing a habit of regular maintenance can extend your car's lifespan and make driving more worry-free.

How Many Kilometers Can One Kilowatt-Hour Drive?

Under normal circumstances, in the NEDC comprehensive driving cycle, new energy vehicles can generally travel between 5 to 8 kilometers per kilowatt-hour, depending on the energy consumption performance of different electric vehicles. However, according to the law of energy conservation, the larger the curb weight, the higher the energy consumption per 100 kilometers will be, meaning the distance that one kilowatt-hour can drive will decrease. Related introduction to new energy vehicles: 1. Definition: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. 2. Classification: New energy vehicles include four major types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those using supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices).

Why Can't the Car Door Be Opened with the Key?

The reasons why the car key cannot open the door are as follows: 1. The remote key may be out of power: Remote keys use button batteries, which may not be available in convenience stores. If there are auto parts markets or 4S stores nearby, these places will definitely sell them. Car owners can buy more online for emergency use. 2. The remote key is interfered with by signals: Signal interference with the key is relatively rare. If the key battery is confirmed to have power, it can be judged as signal interference. 3. Failure of the connection device between the door handle and the door lock itself: This situation leading to the door not opening is a type of fault, and the possibility of the car owner solving it on their own is very small. The door connection mechanism may fall off due to driving bumps, and the door lock cannot sense the action of pulling the door handle. 4. The door is frozen and cannot be opened in winter: If the door lock, door handle, or door frame area is frozen in winter, the door cannot be opened with the key. Note that if the door is frozen, do not pull it violently, as this can easily damage the door.

What Causes a New Energy Vehicle to Suddenly Lose Power While Driving Normally?

Possible reasons are as follows: poor contact between the battery power output plug and socket; failure of the speed control handle; power signal system failure. The following are detailed explanations of the specific causes: 1. Poor contact between the battery power output plug and socket: This is usually caused by wear and oxidation over time, leading to poor internal circuit contact. 2. Failure of the speed control handle: This is generally due to poor contact among the three wires inside the speed control handle, typically red, gray, and black, or red, green, and black. The gray or green wire is the output signal wire of the handle. It is best to cut off the middle connector of the speed control handle wiring, reconnect according to the color difference, and then wrap it with insulating tape for safety. 3. Power signal system failure: If the electric vehicle is highly intelligent, it may also experience power loss. This mainly manifests as damage to the ignition lock or poor contact between the controller and the ignition lock signal wire. The simplest solution is to enable the keyless function.

What are the differences between domestically produced and imported cars?

The differences between domestically produced and imported cars are as follows: 1. Firstly, imported cars are divided into two types: regular imported cars and parallel imported cars. Simply put, regular imported cars are those purchased through 4S stores, while parallel imported cars are those directly imported from the product's country of origin by importers other than the domestic general distributor. 2. In terms of price: domestically produced cars are the cheapest; followed by parallel imported cars; the most expensive are regular imported cars. This is because parallel imported cars can bypass the general distributor, eliminating middlemen, which naturally lowers the price significantly. 3. In terms of models: through parallel imports, you can purchase models that are not available as domestically produced or regular imported cars. Additionally, depending on the import region, they are further classified into "U.S. specification cars," "European specification cars," etc. 4. In terms of subsequent car usage and after-sales services, domestically produced cars are the most convenient and worry-free; followed by regular imported cars; the worst are parallel imported cars. Parallel imported cars do not come with a warranty, requiring owners to purchase insurance themselves, and many 4S stores do not provide maintenance services for them.

How to turn on the low beam lights of the Lavida?

The method to turn on the low beam lights of the Lavida: There is a set of light combination switches on the left side of the steering wheel. At night, rotating the combination switch forward one notch turns on the dashboard lights, rotating it another notch turns on the low beam lights, and rotating it one more notch turns on the high beam lights. The low beam lights have an illumination distance of about 30 to 40 meters. When driving at a speed of 55 kilometers per hour at night, if you notice a situation and immediately apply the brakes, the stopping distance is approximately 30 meters. The Lavida is an A-class sedan produced by SAIC Volkswagen.

What Causes the Brake to Suddenly Become Hard and Unpressable While Driving?

When the brake suddenly becomes hard and unpressable while driving, it is related to a malfunction in the vacuum booster pump. Below are the reasons and solutions for the brake becoming hard: 1. Vacuum Booster Pump Air Leak: Under normal driving conditions, the negative pressure in the intake manifold draws air from the vacuum booster pump, keeping the pump in a constant state of energy storage. If the brake becomes hard upon the first press, it indicates an air leak in the vacuum booster pump. Solution: Replace the vacuum hose. 2. Speed Too Low, Gear Too High: Under normal driving conditions, the negative pressure in the intake manifold draws air from the vacuum booster pump, keeping the pump in a constant state of energy storage. If the brake becomes hard only after pressing it once, it might be due to insufficient intake negative pressure caused by low speed and high gear. Solution: Increase speed. 3. Leak in the Connecting Hose: A leak in the hose can lead to excessively low vacuum, causing the loss of power assistance and resulting in a hard brake. Solution: Inspect the vacuum hose to ensure it is sealed properly, restoring normal function.
