Passat seat heating and seat ventilation are not the same functions. Seat heating refers to the electric heating device inside the seat. Seat ventilation is the "summer cooling device" of the car seat air conditioning, which is divided into air supply type and air suction type. More details are as follows: 1. The car seat air conditioning system includes ventilation circulation, dehumidification and cooling/heating, and intelligent temperature control, completely eliminating the discomfort caused by the seat being hot and sticky in summer and cold in winter while driving. 2. As an effective supplement to the car air conditioning system, the car seat air conditioning system can adjust the temperature and humidity of the seat surface, maximizing the satisfaction of different drivers and passengers' requirements for seat surface temperature in different seasons, helping them maintain full energy and clear reaction ability. According to statistics, it can save fuel consumption by an average of 7-9%. 3. The car seat air conditioning system is divided into two types: external and built-in. Seat heating uses electric heating wires inside the seat to heat the seat interior and transfers the heat to the occupant through heat conduction, improving the discomfort caused by the seat being too cold after long periods of parking in winter.

What are the test items for C2 Subject 2?

The C2 Subject 2 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Some regions also include highway toll card collection. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess hill start and parking. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, so many test centers place it as the first item. The requirement is to follow the designated route and sequence. The vehicle must be parked within the lines without crossing, scraping, or stalling. Students should slow down, observe the left and right rearview mirrors before fully parking, align the reference points, and adjust the vehicle decisively. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheel, spotting the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheel and the left dashed line. There's no need to straighten the wheels after parking, and the turn signal must be used when exiting. The vehicle body must not cross the lines, and the tires must not touch the lane boundaries. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-turn, is manageable for many students with good spatial awareness, though some may misjudge the line positions during the test, leading to failure. The key is observing the reference points on the hood and the edge lines. The wheels must not cross the lane boundaries. Right-angle turns are relatively simple, akin to the exit part of reverse parking. The method involves aligning the hood's horizontal line with the front line (either exactly or slightly delayed). The wheels must not touch the edge lines. Completing the required training hours is mandatory for taking the Subject 2 test. Hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If a student fails the Subject 2 test, they can retake it once. Failing the retest terminates the current attempt, and the applicant must reschedule the test after 10 days. If the test is failed five times in a row (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects become invalid, and the student must restart from Subject 1.

What to do if the vehicle fails the OBD test during annual inspection?

If a vehicle fails the OBD test during its annual inspection, the owner should take it to a 4S shop for a system upgrade. OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics, is a system that monitors the vehicle's emissions control. If there are any fault alerts related to emissions control or if the OBD system fails to connect properly with the diagnostic tool, the vehicle may fail the inspection. Owners of older vehicles are advised to visit a 4S shop to upgrade the OBD system before the inspection. OBD, translated into Chinese as the On-Board Automatic Diagnostic System, continuously monitors the engine's operation to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard limits. If they do, the system will immediately issue a warning. When a fault occurs in the system, the fault light or the check engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will store the fault information in its memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM using specific procedures. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately identify the nature and location of the fault.

What to Do If You Can't Steer the Wheel While Learning to Drive?

The practice methods for steering the wheel while learning to drive are: 1. Make full use of a reference point on the front of the car; 2. Utilize the peripheral vision of both eyes effectively; 3. Develop a good habit of not moving the steering wheel unless the car's front deviates; 4. Combine with field training to practice the timing and speed of turning the steering wheel; 5. Cultivate a feel for the car. The correct hand position on the steering wheel should be: the left hand at the 9 o'clock position and the right hand at the 3 o'clock position, with the palms slightly tightened and thumbs naturally resting. To determine whether you've turned the steering wheel half a turn or a full turn, refer to the brand logo and horn mark on the steering wheel. After a full turn, the position of the brand logo and horn remains unchanged; after a half turn, the brand logo and horn are upside down.

What does the red key warning light on the car dashboard indicate?

There are two types of red flashing key lights on the dashboard. One without the KEY symbol is the engine anti-theft indicator light, which normally turns off after the car starts. If it remains lit, it may indicate a fault in the anti-theft system, and you should take the car to a 4S shop or auto repair shop for inspection. The other type, with the KEY symbol, indicates low battery in the car key. You should check it promptly to determine if the battery needs replacement. If the battery is low, it should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid inconvenience. The car anti-theft system is designed to prevent the car from being stolen and to protect valuable items inside the vehicle. The system mainly consists of electronic control circuits, alarm devices, remote control keys, mechanical keys, and actuators. Mechanical door locks prevent the doors from opening automatically while the car is in motion but do not provide anti-theft protection. The anti-theft system includes a steering lock that secures the car's steering column. Both the steering lock and ignition lock are located below the steering wheel.

How to Jump Start a Car with Jumper Cables?

The steps to jump start a car with jumper cables are: 1. Before connecting the cables, make sure to turn off the engine; 2. Take out one positive and one negative jumper cable; 3. In addition to the cables, you will need another vehicle with a functioning battery; 4. Remove the clips to open the battery cover, exposing the positive and negative terminals; 5. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the live battery; 6. Take the other jumper cable, first connect it to the negative terminal of the live battery, then connect the other end to the engine block or chassis of the dead vehicle—remember, negative to negative; 7. Once the cables are connected, start the vehicle with the live battery to provide a reliable voltage to the dead car. Revving the engine can speed up the charging process.
