When a car should undergo four-wheel alignment: New cars should have their four-wheel alignment checked after 3 months of driving, and subsequently every 10,000 kilometers traveled, after tire rotation, and after a collision. Four-wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusting them to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability. Four-wheel alignment improves driving safety, reduces tire wear, keeps the steering wheel straight when driving straight, maintains straight-line driving, allows the steering wheel to automatically return to center after turning, enhances driving control, reduces fuel consumption, and decreases wear on suspension components.

What is the difference between Moonlight White and Pearl White?

Moonlight White and Pearl White differ in their oxidation resistance: Moonlight White paint has weaker oxidation resistance and is more prone to yellowing; Pearl White paint contains fluorescent powder within its color, which reflects bright fluorescence under sunlight, resembling pearls. Under strong light, it reflects a shiny fluorescence, has strong oxidation resistance, and is less likely to yellow. Methods to prevent car paint from yellowing: 1. Avoid exposing the car to strong sunlight. If parking in a garage is not possible, it is recommended to use a sunshade cover and try to park under shade when parking on the roadside to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight; 2. Waxing is also a good method. Avoid using ordinary wax for car waxing; if possible, use inorganic liquid wax, which can prevent the paint from yellowing.

Does Mercedes-Benz Need Fuel Additives?

Mercedes-Benz can use fuel additives. Functions of fuel additives: In addition to removing carbon deposits, fuel additives can also inhibit the formation of carbon deposits. Cleaning-type fuel additives can adhere to metal surfaces, forming a protective film to reduce carbon deposit formation. Therefore, the primary purpose for new cars is prevention, typically used after 1,000 kilometers. Choosing fuel additives: High-quality fuel additives can positively impact carbon deposits, fuel consumption, emissions (power and acceleration), while inferior ones can be harmful. Therefore, it is crucial to choose fuel additives carefully and avoid low-quality products, as they may have adverse effects.

What is the reason for the Nissan Sunny's brake being hard to press?

Nissan Sunny's brake being hard to press is due to: failure of the vacuum booster pump, issues with the brake booster pump. Vacuum booster pump failure: If the car's vacuum booster pump leaks or fails, the force applied to the brake pedal is amplified by the brake booster pump. If the vacuum booster pump fails, the brake loses its power assist, making it very hard to press. Brake booster pump: Pressing the brake after the engine is turned off is also related to the brake booster pump. The brake booster pump continuously generates vacuum only when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies on the remaining vacuum assist, which will be restored after starting the engine, and is not a malfunction.
