First, the basic knowledge of automobile basic maintenance

1. Fatigue

Tire pressure is directly related to the safety performance of tires. Too high or too low tire pressure will lead to bad consequences. The temperature is high in summer, the tire pressure is lower, and the tire pressure is sufficient in winter. Also, check whether there are any cracks in the tires, and replace the tires in time when there are potential safety hazards. When selecting a new tire, it should be consistent with the original tire model.

2. Check the lubricating oil level.

Before each trip, check the lubricating oil level. If the vehicle is inspected while driving, the engine should be turned off, and after a period of time, it should be carried out after the lubricating oil flows back to the oil pan. During the inspection, the vehicle should be parked on the ground, then the dipstick should be pulled out and wiped with a clean cloth, reinserted and pulled out, and the liquid level should be between MAX and MIN. When the liquid level is lower than MIN, lubricating oil should be added in time.

waistband

There are two reasons why the belt rings when starting the engine or driving: one is that the belt has not been adjusted for a long time, and it can be adjusted in time after it is found. Another reason is that the belt is aging and needs to be replaced with a new one.

4. Supplement and replacement of brake fluid

The brake fluid reservoir located above the front brake master cylinder is marked with the maximum (max) and minimum (min) brake fluid levels. If low brake fluid is found, it should be added immediately. Brake fluid is toxic and corrosive, and can't touch paint. At the same time, it has strong hygroscopicity and can absorb moisture in the surrounding air. Therefore, brake fluid should be changed every two years.

5. Gasoline filter

If it is found that the oil supply is not smooth, check whether the gasoline filter is blocked in time, and replace it in time if it is found to be blocked.

Second, the first car maintenance matters needing attention

1. Remove the iron filings produced during the running-in period.

Careful car owners will find that there will be some iron filings in the running-in oil. I wonder if there is anything wrong with the car. But in fact, it is because the car will produce some foreign objects during driving, and iron filings are one of them. Iron filings will lead to difficulties in starting the car and lack of fuel.

Step 2 check it carefully

Check the nuts of all parts of the car during the first insurance. Once it is found loose, it should be tightened immediately, and no one should be missing. Add lubricating oil to the joints of the car, such as the hinges of the front and rear doors, add coolant to the engine, and check the brake oil level and battery fluid.

In daily life, you must pay attention to check your car in time and maintain it in time. Don't wait until the problem is big to make up for it.
