Vehicle displays a maintenance reminder because it has reached the recommended mileage or time interval for servicing, at which point the car will alert the owner that maintenance is required. Below is relevant information regarding vehicle maintenance: 1. Maintenance cycle explanation: The maintenance cycle varies depending on the car brand, but it is generally every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. The specific cycle can be found in the vehicle maintenance manual or by consulting the 4S store's after-sales service. 2. Maintenance content: Vehicle maintenance items include core components and wear-and-tear parts. Core components include the chassis, engine, and transmission, while wear-and-tear parts include engine oil and oil filter, spark plugs, cabin air filter, tires, brakes, lights, etc. 3. Maintenance location options: For maintenance, you can go to a 4S store, where the advantage is guaranteed quality and warranty coverage, but the cost is higher. Alternatively, you can go to a repair shop, where the advantage is lower prices, but the quality may vary.

Can I Renew My Driver's License If One Eye Fails the Physical Exam?

If your driver's license is about to expire and you have lost vision in one eye due to special circumstances, you can still renew your driver's license, but you must pass the physical exam first. However, if you originally held a C1 or higher-level license, you may not pass the physical exam because higher-level licenses have stricter vision requirements. In this case, you can only apply for a license below C1. Additional details are as follows: 1. Vision requirements for driver's licenses: Current regulations on driving conditions for people with disabilities have gradually relaxed. Even if one eye is blind, you can still apply for a driver's license. According to the rules, if you have monocular vision impairment, the other eye must have a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0, and the horizontal field of vision must reach 150 degrees. Under these conditions, you can apply for a license for small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, or small automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for people with disabilities. 2. Color blindness disqualifies applicants: Note that since monocular color blindness is rare and most cases involve binocular color blindness, individuals with color blindness cannot take the driving test.

At what tire pressure should you inflate?

If in summer, the tire pressure should be inflated when it is below 2.0 bar, and in winter, when it is below 2.2 bar. Hazards of low tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; It causes the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors that compromise driving safety; It increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; It reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causes damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, causing the tire temperature to rise sharply, the tire to soften, and its strength to drop drastically. High-speed driving may then lead to a tire blowout; It increases the deformation of the tire body, making the sidewalls prone to cracking, and generates flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, cord breakage, and also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

How to Understand the 8-Year/150,000 km Battery Warranty?

8-year/150,000 km means whichever comes first, either 8 years or 150,000 km. If the warranty reaches 8 years but hasn't hit 150,000 km, it is considered out of warranty. Similarly, if it reaches 150,000 km but hasn't been 8 years, it is also out of warranty. In cases where the battery pack experiences capacity degradation or damage without external impact, the manufacturer will provide repair or replacement based on the actual situation. More relevant information is as follows:. Usage time: Generally, the battery of a new car lasts longer, typically up to around 4 years under normal usage. After about 4 years, it's advisable to consider replacement. If the battery has been replaced once, its lifespan is usually around 2 years. Normal usage: Regular vehicle maintenance is essential, ensuring no incidents of battery depletion occur during use. There is no fixed, precise, or uniform answer to the lifespan of a car battery, as it is influenced by many objective factors, such as the condition of the car, road conditions, and driving habits. For example, with a new car battery, some owners may use it for 4 or even 5 years without any issues.

How to turn off the SET light?

SET light is the tire pressure monitoring light. The illumination of the SET light may be caused by abnormal tire pressure. When the SET button light is on, it is necessary to check whether the tire pressure is normal. In most cases, when the SET light is on, the tire pressure monitoring warning light on the dashboard will also illuminate. After the driver confirms that the tire pressure is insufficient, reinflate the tires and then press and hold the SET button to turn off the tire pressure monitoring warning light on the dashboard. The reason for the SET light to illuminate is abnormal tire pressure. The following is an introduction to abnormal tire pressure: 1. Low tire pressure: If the pressure is too low, the tire body deformation increases, cracks are prone to appear on the tire side, and flexing motion occurs, leading to excessive heat generation, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It will also increase the tire contact area and accelerate shoulder wear. 2. High tire pressure: If the pressure is too high, the tire cords will be excessively stretched and deformed, and the elasticity of the tire body will decrease, increasing the load on the car while driving. In case of impact, internal cracks and explosions may occur. At the same time, excessive pressure will also accelerate tread wear and reduce puncture resistance.

What is the full name of Subject 1?

Subject 1, also known as Subject 1 Theory Test or Driver Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', the test content includes theoretical foundations of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The total duration of the Subject 1 test is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100. The test papers are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Specifications'. Content of the Subject 1 test: The test content includes the most basic knowledge such as theoretical foundations of driving, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, as well as local regulations. The timing of the driver theory test is arranged by the local vehicle management offices. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; no loud talking is allowed in the test area; regulation textbooks are not allowed in the examination room (or should be kept in a bag).
