Are new car options installed by the 4S dealership or the manufacturer?

Based on the owner's personal choice, here is the relevant introduction to the options: 1. Car navigation: If you need to install navigation, 4S dealerships generally provide navigation installation services, offering two types of navigation—one from the original manufacturer and another from aftermarket brands. The original manufacturer's navigation is usually more expensive at 4S dealerships, but some features work better, while aftermarket options are cheaper and may offer more functions. In fact, whether original or aftermarket, navigation systems can be purchased elsewhere. 2. Window tinting: Most new cars do not come with tinted windows from the factory. Some 4S dealerships offer tinting as a complimentary gift, while others require owners to pay for it. It is not recommended to buy tinting at a 4S dealership, as the quality is often poor and the price is not cheap. 3. Undercoating (rustproofing): New cars do not come with undercoating from the factory. Some 4S dealerships provide this service for free, while many charge for it. 4. Dash cams: Dash cams are becoming increasingly common and affordable. If offered as a free gift by the 4S dealership, take it. However, if you need to pay, it is best not to buy from the dealership, as the features are limited and the price is high. Buying online is more cost-effective, with more functions, better aesthetics, and very simple installation.

How to Shift Gears While Driving on the Road?

Driving on the road, the steps for shifting gears are: 1. Press the car's brake pedal all the way down; 2. Start the car and let it idle; 3. Place the car's automatic gear lever in the D position; 4. Use the steering wheel paddle shifters to shift up or down. The gear shift position is located at the rear of the car's steering wheel, with the right side for upshifting and the left side for downshifting. The technical requirements for shifting gears are: 1. Master the appropriate timing for shifting; 2. The coordination between the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever must be correct and harmonious, with precise positioning; 3. After shifting into a new gear, release the clutch pedal smoothly and promptly; 4. The shifting action should be swift to minimize shifting time and reduce the loss of the car's kinetic energy.

What should be paid attention to when driving on rainy days?

Things to pay attention to when driving on rainy days include: 1. Slow down and maintain a safe distance from vehicles in front and behind; 2. Turn on the wipers to maintain good visibility; 3. Turn on the air conditioner and direct it towards the windshield to reduce fogging; 4. Drive at low speed in waterlogged sections, and detour if the water level exceeds the exhaust pipe; 5. Slow down on curves and avoid sudden braking; 6. Turn on the fog lights so that other drivers can notice; 7. If the engine is flooded, do not start the vehicle; 8. Do not restart the vehicle after stalling; 9. Pay attention to the dynamics of non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, and maintain a safe speed.

Is the spark plug continuously working during engine startup?

During engine startup, the spark plug is continuously working. Its working principle involves generating an arc between the electrodes through voltage to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the engine. The function of the spark plug is to discharge the high-voltage pulse electricity delivered by the high-voltage wire, break down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, and generate an electric spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Automotive spark plugs are categorized into: 1. Standard spark plugs: The insulator skirt is slightly recessed into the shell end face, and the side electrode is outside the shell end face; 2. Insulator-protruding spark plugs: The insulator skirt is longer, protruding beyond the shell end face; 3. Fine-electrode spark plugs: The electrodes are thin, characterized by strong sparks and better ignition capability.

How to Replace the Battery in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class Key?

The method for replacing the battery in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class key is as follows: 1. Press the rectangular button on the top of the key; 2. While pressing the button, slide the black cover to the left; 3. Pull down the cover marked with +-; 4. Remove and replace the battery. Below are some precautions for using the key: 1. In daily use, some of our actions can easily damage the car key, such as dropping it from a height. Many owners may have tried giving the key to their children as a toy, but children don’t understand and may throw it around. The internal circuitry of the key is relatively fragile and can be easily damaged by strong impacts. Another situation is water damage—if water seeps inside and damages the circuit, it can cause the remote to malfunction. 2. If the remote key gets wet, do not shake it vigorously or press any buttons, as this can cause water to seep into other important circuits. Also, avoid using the remote to unlock the car immediately, as this may burn out the circuit board. The correct approach is to open the key casing, lay it flat, and use a hairdryer to dry it before checking it again.

What kind of oil should be used for Volkswagen Tharu?

Volkswagen Tharu uses 5w-40 or 0w40 fully synthetic original engine oil. For later maintenance and oil changes, you can choose from brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Castrol. Any 40-viscosity oil that meets Volkswagen's 502 certification can be used. For Volkswagen Tharu 1.4T and 2.0T models, 5w-40 fully synthetic oil is recommended. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity—5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The latter number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher number means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in a Tharu is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new oil through the engine valve cover filler port, typically filling about three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.
