Cars and people are the same. Every car has a key, and each key must be equipped with a car key chain. From the automobile key chain, the service life of the car is closely related to the vehicle condition. Therefore, if you want to have a good car condition, maintenance becomes particularly important. In different periods of use, vehicle conditions are very different. If you want to keep the car in good condition, you need to know the maintenance precautions in different periods.

Car key chain manufacturers divide car maintenance into six major steps

1. Running in period: the car is in the best condition when it is 1 year old

   
   

It's youth. If there is any quality problem with the car, it will be found in about a year. Do a good job in general maintenance can make the car operate more smoothly, handle small problems in time, and the car will be used for a longer time. The first maintenance checked the basic condition of the car, and the second one changed the engine oil and oil compartment for free; the rest of the maintenance was simple maintenance items that were paid for by ourselves. The first maintenance service of a car is generally carried out according to the recommendations in the car maintenance manual. Because of the environment, condition and other factors of the car, the maintenance time is also different. It is usually recommended to carry out the first maintenance within the range of 5000 km / 6 months. The maintenance of new cars is very important for future use. The time and mileage can be slightly floating, but not too long. For what reason, we will talk about it later. However, for a new car in the running in period, it is recommended that you do not rush to refuel or brake, drive smoothly and pay attention to the change of gear. The speed of 60-90 km / h is helpful for running in.

2. Golden age of automobile: 1-3 years old

At this time, although the performance and running state of the car are quite good, it is still necessary to carry out ordinary maintenance items, such as oil change, filter, etc. In view of this period of maintenance, is the following aspects: season change period car problems occur frequently, love the car should do a full range of inspection. Also need to check the use of the wiper, lights and reversing radar. Because these parts are very easy to be damaged and related to driving safety, if you want to steadily cross the three-year warranty period, you must pay attention to it. The second-hand car with the age of less than three years is relatively good. Since the car is still in the warranty period and has passed the run in period, there are few "problem" cars. Good maintenance is no different from a new car.

3. Maturity of automobile: 3-5 years old

Just like people over 30 years old, gradually began to go downhill, so do cars. After three or five years of use, the car with poor quality and quality will begin to appear: aging parts, oil leakage, water leakage and other problems. Of course, the appearance of good quality is still very beautiful. Although the surface of the car is still bright and bright, the parts inside the car will gradually age. During this period, the car should pay attention to the maintenance of brake pads, fuel pump and shock absorber, and replace them timely if necessary. The brake pads should be inspected once every 5000 km. During the inspection, not only the remaining thickness but also the wear status of the brake pads should be checked. Whether the wear degree of both sides is the same, whether it is easy to return to the original position is easy. When abnormal conditions are found, it must be dealt with immediately. The brake must not wait for the friction materials to be worn out before replacing, which is quite dangerous.

4. Decline period of automobile: 6-10 years old automobile

After ten years of driving, the performance of the car will decline year by year, and the cost of maintenance will also increase year by year. The car needs to be maintained. It's just like human beings can't keep old. Problems such as paint, rubber parts, air conditioning, power system and so on will be quite prominent. Therefore, we must strengthen the maintenance of the car during this period. We should check the condition of the car at the maintenance center at a fixed time, and check whether the car has problems before and after each driving. And then in the maintenance of their own engine for a fixed period of time inspection and oil change, you can clean the engine, change oil and so on to ease. In addition to good daily maintenance habits, accurate way of using the car can also keep your car in a healthy condition and effectively extend the service life of the car.

5. Elimination period of automobiles: 10-15 cars

The age of a car is 10 to 15, which is equivalent to the old age of a person. Although China has abolished the mandatory scrapping period for non operating vehicles, the performance of various parts of the car during this period is quite different from that before, and the owners will feel uneasy when using them, for fear of breaking down on the road. For cars in this period, not to mention keeping them in the garage for maintenance or sending them to scrap stations to sell scrap iron, in principle, they can only run in urban areas or in medium and short distances, and they also need to have sufficient psychological preparation.

6. Maintenance of cars in the elimination period

Be practical and realistic. In this period, it is recommended to replace a new car. If you want to use it, you must pay attention to these aspects: is there any significant damage to the chassis and cause rust? At present, in order to reduce the cost, some cars use smaller and smaller batteries, the quality of tires is getting worse and worse, and the brake pads are becoming more and more wear-resistant. Pay attention to the periodic inspection of tires and batteries Check and replace. In the actual use, the new car in the running in period should not drive too fast, so that the engine speed is too high, can not maintain a gear for a long time, to prevent fierce driving. Editor's note: if you want your car to accompany you for a few years, you can pay more attention to the maintenance of your car! I wish your car always maintain its peak condition: original paint, air conditioning, hot seat, give oil to fly!
