After a new car has been driven for 2,500 kilometers, an oil film forms inside the engine, providing better protection during operation. Here are the specific details: Replace the oil filter: It is advisable to change the oil and oil filter before driving on the highway to avoid any abnormalities during the process. The purpose of driving a new car on the highway is mainly to allow the engine to operate in a better environment. The duration of highway driving doesn't need to be too long; generally, 10-20 minutes is sufficient. Driving on the highway before the first maintenance: It is best to drive on the highway after the car's first maintenance. The first maintenance of a new car primarily involves checking the vehicle's operational condition, ensuring the torque of various screws and addressing any potential issues with fluid levels, making driving more reliable. It is recommended to drive on the highway only after the first maintenance.

How to Turn on Automatic Transmission Lights?

The method to turn on automatic transmission lights is: The switch is located on the control panel to the left of the steering wheel. Turning it clockwise once sets it to 'auto' (automatic mode), turning it twice activates the low beams, and turning it three times turns on the high beams. Depending on the car model, some vehicles may have additional settings when rotated further clockwise, such as front fog lights and rear fog lights. Most cars only have one rear fog light because rear fog lights can be dazzling, and very few models have dual rear fog lights. Emergency lights are either located on the dashboard or below the steering wheel, usually in a noticeable red color. All light switches are marked, and car owners can press them randomly to familiarize themselves. The exact positions of the car light switches can also be found in the detailed instruction manual.

Do Oxygen Sensors Need Regular Replacement?

Oxygen sensors do not require regular replacement; they only need to be replaced if they malfunction. Under normal conditions, an oxygen sensor can last up to 100,000 kilometers without issues. Normal conditions refer to the vehicle being regularly maintained by the owner and not subjected to aggressive driving behaviors. More information about oxygen sensors is as follows: 1. There are typically two oxygen sensors: a front oxygen sensor and a rear oxygen sensor. The front oxygen sensor is located before the catalytic converter and is used to adjust the air-fuel mixture concentration. The rear oxygen sensor is located after the catalytic converter and is used to monitor the working condition of the catalytic converter. 2. In engines equipped with catalytic converters to reduce exhaust emissions, the oxygen sensor is an essential component.

Can an automatic transmission car be put into N gear when parking?

An automatic transmission car can be put into N gear when parking, but if you need to turn off the engine, you must shift into P gear to do so. Some cars can be turned off without shifting into P gear, but the key cannot be removed. The N gear is suitable for short-term parking without turning off the engine. Both automatic and manual transmissions have an N gear, which is the neutral gear. After shifting into N gear, the car cannot move. Automatic transmissions also have a P gear, which is the parking gear. After shifting into P gear, the car also cannot move, but P gear is different from N gear. P gear has a locking mechanism; after shifting into P gear, the locking mechanism can lock the transmission gears, which indirectly locks the wheels.

What are the advantages of automatic sensor headlights?

Automatic sensor headlights offer the following advantages: they automatically adjust to changes in external light intensity, providing additional illumination before visibility is affected by light conditions (such as when entering tunnels or underground parking garages) without requiring any manual operation, thus not distracting the driver. To use this feature, the ignition key must be placed in the first notch (accessory position), and the button on top of the light control lever must be pressed for more than 4 seconds to activate or deactivate this function. Once completed, a prompt will appear on the central display screen. Automatic sensor headlights, also known as sensor-activated automatic headlights, are controlled by the central intelligent control box, which determines changes in light brightness based on the light sensor located behind the interior rearview mirror, to automatically turn on or off the parking lights and low beams.

Why does the steering wheel slightly pull to the left when driving straight?

If the steering wheel pulls to the left during straight driving, you can have it adjusted at a 4S shop. Below is relevant information: 1. Vehicle pull refers to the phenomenon where a car spontaneously drifts to one side while moving straight on a flat road, causing the central line connecting the front and rear axles to deviate from the centerline of the driving trajectory. Mild pull may result in uneven tire wear or tire failure, while severe cases can lead to dangerous situations like tire blowouts or loss of vehicle control. 2. The most direct method to correct steering wheel misalignment is through wheel alignment. Essentially, adjusting the steering wheel involves modifying the tie rods, which are crucial components in a car's steering system. They directly affect driving stability, operational safety, and tire lifespan.
