During the first car maintenance, the transmission fluid will not be changed. Transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. Under normal circumstances, automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 2 years or every 40,000 kilometers. If the vehicle shifts smoothly and there is no significant change in transmission noise, replacement may not be necessary. However, if shifting becomes difficult, especially when the vehicle speed exceeds 100 km/h and the transmission noise increases noticeably, it may be time to consider changing the transmission fluid. When replacing transmission fluid, it is essential to use the same type as originally specified for the vehicle. Pay attention to selecting the appropriate oil grade, as different brands of automatic transmissions have different friction coefficients. Using the wrong transmission fluid can damage the friction plates, leading to issues such as clutch or brake slippage, and in severe cases, can destroy the friction plates.

How Long Does It Take to Transport a New Car to a 4S Store?

It mainly depends on which production base the car comes from, generally taking about 2 to 3 days. Below are the relevant introductions about 4S stores: 1. Introduction One: 4S is the abbreviation of the English initials for whole vehicle sales, spare parts, after-sales service, and information feedback. The full name is Automobile Sales Service 4S Store. The first S in 4S stands for Sale, the second S stands for Sparepart, the third S stands for Service, and the fourth S stands for Survey. 2. Introduction Two: A 4S store is an automobile sales enterprise that integrates these four functions into one. Therefore, a 4S store can sell vehicles, and consumers can make purchases within the store, which is the meaning of the first term. The second term means that if any issues arise with the vehicle later, such as the need for replacement parts, customers can go to the store for maintenance and replacement. The third term refers to the fact that customers who consume at a 4S store can enjoy corresponding high-quality services. The fourth term means that car owners can provide feedback on post-use vehicle information, which helps in the planning and development of future vehicles.

Can I Get Cash Compensation Without Repairing the Car After Damage Assessment?

Insurance companies require the car owner to provide repair invoices and repair lists issued by the repair shop as proof of claim. Without repairing the car, there will be no repair documents, making it impossible to proceed with the normal claim process. Below is an introduction to relevant insurance purchase information: 1. Purchase Method: Car insurance can be reasonably purchased according to the owner's needs, either at a 4S shop or elsewhere. Generally, when buying a car on loan, insurance must be purchased in-store, and a certain renewal deposit will also be charged. 2. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance in China, a type of insurance that all vehicles must purchase. If the vehicle involved in an accident has compulsory third-party liability insurance for motor vehicles, the insurance company will pay the rescue expenses within the liability limit.

Where is the sensor of automatic headlights generally located?

The light sensor for headlights is generally located near the instrument panel, mainly because this position can accurately reflect the actual light intensity. Automatic headlights are a photosensitive control system installed on the front headlights by some car manufacturers for user convenience. When the light intensity is greater or less than a certain value, the headlights will automatically turn on or off. Below is relevant information about automatic headlights: 1. Purpose: When the light dims while driving, the front headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. Many people mistakenly believe that "automatic headlights" are specifically designed for tunnels, but this is not the case. The activation of automatic headlights has a delay, meaning the headlights will only turn on automatically within a few seconds after the light sensor detects dimming. According to traffic regulations, headlights must be turned on before entering a tunnel, so manual activation is still required when passing through tunnels. 2. Principle: Electronic components such as photoresistors act as sensors (installed behind the rearview mirror, etc.) and send electronic signals to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit, similar to a computer CPU) to inform it whether to turn the front headlights on or off, or to switch between high and low beams. The ECU controls the headlight switch and beam changes. Thus, when driving in suddenly darkened environments, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when there is sufficient light. Additionally, during nighttime encounters with other vehicles, the headlights may automatically switch between high and low beams.

What is the difference between parking brake and brake pedal?

The difference between parking brake and brake pedal is that the parking brake is the handbrake; the brake pedal is the foot brake, i.e., the service brake. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The brake pedal decelerates the vehicle when the driver steps on it. Below is an introduction to the parking brake: 1. The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. 2. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc., and automatically releases the parking brake when the driving force exceeds the running resistance, allowing the car to start smoothly. 3. When driving in urban areas with frequent traffic jams, enabling the AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function prevents stalling when stopping and starting again.
