You should be cautious to prevent the 4S shop from swapping out car parts without authorization or unnecessarily replacing parts that don't need replacement, which could lead to wasted money. Here are some relevant details: 1. 4S Shop: A 4S shop, fully known as an Automobile Sales Service 4S Shop (Automobile-Sales-Servicshop-4S), is a car sales enterprise that integrates four main services: vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). 2. Car Maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a car, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other related components.

What is the optimal position for adjusting rearview mirrors in Subject 2?

Methods for adjusting rearview mirrors in Subject 2: 1. The rearview mirror adjustment button is located on the inner side of the front door, allowing adjustments in four directions: up, down, forward, and backward. In some car models, the rearview mirror adjustment switch is near the window. 2. First, adjust vertically—simply press it to the lowest position. Taller students may slightly raise it, ensuring visibility of ground markings. 3. Then, adjust horizontally, keeping in mind that the standard is for the car body to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's area. Note: Rearview mirrors must be adjusted while maintaining a proper posture; otherwise, accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

How to Control the Clutch?

Here are the methods to control the clutch: 1. Learn the correct posture for pressing the clutch: Place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal with your heel touching the ground. When the clutch is pressed to its lowest point, keep your knee slightly bent. 2. Press the clutch to a point just above the critical value between semi-engagement and neutral coasting. The exact critical point varies with different vehicle adjustments. To find this critical value, first engage the gear, then press the clutch until the point where the gear just engages—this is the power engagement critical value. Slightly lifting the pedal will put it in the semi-engaged state. Then release the foot brake or handbrake, and the vehicle will start moving. 3. Control the position near the semi-engagement limit, and the vehicle speed will naturally adjust to idle. Since road surfaces are not perfectly flat—some have bumps, pits, or uneven friction—you must place your foot near the critical value between semi-engagement and neutral coasting, making slight adjustments to keep the vehicle moving at a constant speed throughout the test. 4. Do not release the clutch too quickly or deliberately raise the engine RPM too high. This not only accelerates clutch wear but may also cause the vehicle to stall, leading to a failed test due to an unexpected stop.

What to Do If You Lock Your Keys in the Car

Methods to handle locking your car keys inside the car: 1. Generally, cars come with two keys—one for regular use and another as a spare. If the primary key is lost, the spare key can be used. You can either go back to get it yourself or ask a family member to bring the spare key. 2. Contact a professional locksmith. Make sure to choose a licensed and reputable locksmith company. They will ask for relevant documents, such as your vehicle registration and ID, before unlocking the car. 3. Most 4S shops offer after-sales rescue services. Simply call them and wait for the rescue team to arrive. 4. If the car is in a remote location and none of the above methods are feasible, breaking a window may be the only option. Avoid breaking the windshield, especially the triangular window, as replacement and repair costs can be very high. Instead, target the side windows—break them quickly and decisively to avoid injury from glass shards.

What should be paid attention to during the break-in period of a car?

Precautions for the break-in period of a new car: 1. The speed should not exceed two-thirds of the maximum speed, the engine RPM should not exceed 3000-3500 (different car manufacturers have different requirements for engine RPM), avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking. 2. Do not overload, pay attention to checking tire pressure, coolant, and brake fluid. 3. When driving downhill for a long distance, pay attention to controlling the speed and avoid suddenly using engine resistance to decelerate. For manual transmission models, gear shifts should be anticipated in advance, and shifting should not be done at inappropriate speeds. Introduction to the break-in period: 1. Generally, the break-in period for a new car is around 1000-1500 kilometers, and different manufacturers may have different regulations for different models. 2. During the break-in period, tires and brake pads have the shortest break-in time, usually around the first 200-300 kilometers. During this time, try to drive on roads with better conditions. Since new tires have not yet reached optimal adhesion, avoid sudden braking during sharp turns and brake in advance. 3. The engine break-in period requires about 1000 kilometers. In the first 500 kilometers, it is best to drive at a speed of 60-70 km/h, with the RPM not exceeding 2200 for optimal performance; between 500-1000 kilometers, the speed can be increased to 90-100 km/h, with the RPM below 2500 for the best results, which can promote the break-in process; after 1000 kilometers, the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h, and the RPM should not exceed 3000.
