New car second maintenance should be performed after driving 10,000 kilometers or 9 months. The items for the second maintenance of a new car include: 1. Engine: Three cleanings and three filters to ensure the engine starts easily, runs smoothly, meets exhaust standards, and has no abnormal noises, water leaks, oil leaks, electrical leaks, or air leaks; 2. Steering wheel: Light and flexible steering, with no wobbling or deviation of the front wheels during driving; 3. Clutch: Easy operation, complete separation, smooth engagement, no abnormal noises, and no oil leaks in the hydraulic system; 4.

Where is the headlight cleaning switch located?

The headlight cleaning switch is located on the panel below the headlight switch on the left side of the steering wheel. The headlight cleaning device has a water outlet below the headlight, which can usually clean dust and dirt from the headlight when activated. High-end vehicle models are equipped with this feature. During nighttime or low-light driving, rain and dust can reduce the illumination of headlights by up to ninety percent, severely affecting the driver's visibility and posing a significant safety hazard. Many countries now mandate the installation of a headlight cleaning system in vehicles. The headlight assembly also includes parking lights for use during dusk and nighttime driving.

Do not drive long distances or at high speeds; 4. Use high-quality fuel; 5. Shift gears in a timely manner; 6. Do not brake harshly during the running-in period; 7. Avoid frequent use of emergency braking. The speed during the running-in period should be controlled between 50 to 80 kilometers per hour, and the running-in mileage is approximately 500 kilometers. The running-in period is a fundamental process to ensure that mechanical parts fully contact, rub, adapt, and set. During this period, the car's components can adjust and enhance their ability to adapt to the environment, wearing down any protrusions on the parts.
