How can we keep our cars in good youthful vitality? With the popularity of private cars, people are paying more and more attention to car maintenance. Compared to the old view of 'repairing only when there is a malfunction', more and more car owners have realized the importance of regular car maintenance.

1. Before starting the engine, turn on the power switch first and do not start directly. At the same time as the power switch is turned on, the vehicle usually undergoes a self check, where all indicator lights will light up together. After the self check is completed, they will turn off one by one. Once the entire process is completed, the vehicle can be started. Usually wait for about 3 seconds.

2. The brake pads should be checked regularly. The front brake pads should be checked every 30000 kilometers, and the rear brake pads should be checked every 60000 kilometers. If they wear out quickly, they should be replaced in a timely manner.

3. The tires need to be interchanged once at 30000 kilometers, with the front wheel replaced with the rear wheel and the rear wheel replaced, which can extend the service life of the tires.

4. When starting a cold car, pay attention to letting the car run at a steady speed for one and a half minutes and allowing the car a warm-up period. (At the beginning of the journey, the internal temperature of the engine cannot reach the normal operating temperature - the water temperature gauge indicates 90 degrees, which is normal. The car will shake, the engine will make loud noises, and the tachometer will be slightly higher - the normal reading is between 600 and 900 revolutions per minute. If you start in such a situation, it is easy for the engine to accumulate carbon because the combustion of the engine is not sufficient at low temperatures.)

5. It is important to go to a professional 4S store for maintenance within the specified time. Generally, it is a 5000 kilometer small warranty, 10000 kilometers is a large warranty, and it will be repeated every 5000 kilometers thereafter.

6. After parking, the engine should be turned off for half a minute. After parking, the engine is still in a high temperature state, immediately turn off the engine - the fan will turn off, which is not conducive to cooling the engine.

7. The fuel tank should not be empty, and refueling should be done promptly before the oil lamp lights up. Nowadays, cars are equipped with electronic fuel injection engines, and the fuel pump is cooled by gasoline. Once the fuel level is too low, the fuel pump cannot be cooled, and overheating of the fuel pump can easily damage it.

8. When starting, do not rush to the gas valve, and shift gears when reaching a certain speed. The speed is determined by your car model and varies from car to car. When starting, do not press the accelerator too hard, slowly increase it. Shifting gears between 2000-2500 is more reasonable. Especially for automatic transmission cars, due to slow starting, many people will press the accelerator pedal quickly. This practice only increases the fuel consumption of the car, because automatic transmission cars also need to shift gears at normal speed. The correct way is to lift the foot slightly and release the accelerator when the speed reaches 2000-2500, and then refuel after the speed drops, so that the car can enter the next gear reasonably.

9. Do not shift while driving, and promptly shift out when the engine shakes. Dragging can cause excessive pressure on the engine, insufficient power, incomplete combustion of gasoline, carbon deposition on the nozzle, and affect the service life of the engine.

10. Protection of chassis. The chassis is a component of the car body that is very close to the ground and is also easily damaged by ground objects during driving. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect the chassis to avoid excessive damage from external objects.

The essence of automobiles lies in the principle of "70% maintenance and 30% repair", which means that only regular maintenance should be carried out according to requirements, and problems should be detected and solved as early as possible. Only in this way can the goal of replacing maintenance with repair, minimizing medium repair, major repair, and even lifelong no major repair be achieved, achieving safe, economical, and fault free driving, and prolonging the service life of automobiles. Replace 'surgical procedures' with daily maintenance to achieve non disassembly.
