The engine start-stop function can be manually turned off via a switch in the vehicle. However, it cannot be permanently disabled; you need to manually deactivate it each time you start the car. The start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. When you need to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Below is an introduction to how the start-stop system works: 1. The Start/Stop system automatically detects when the engine is idling and no gear is engaged. 2. The wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system indicate zero movement. 3. The electronic battery sensor shows there is sufficient energy for the next start. 4. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops running.

How to Apply for Vehicle Scrapping Procedures?

Here are the steps for applying for vehicle scrapping procedures: 1. For motor vehicles that have reached the national mandatory scrapping standards, the owner must submit the vehicle to a motor vehicle recycling company, fill out an application form, and provide the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license. 2. The motor vehicle recycling company should verify the vehicle and dismantle it, then issue a 'Recycling Certificate for Scrapped Motor Vehicles' to the owner. 3. Scrapped school buses, large passenger vehicles, trucks, and other commercial vehicles must be dismantled under the supervision of the vehicle management office. 4. Within seven days after dismantling the vehicle, the recycling company must submit the application form, vehicle registration certificate, license plate, driving license, and a copy of the 'Recycling Certificate for Scrapped Motor Vehicles' to the vehicle management office to apply for deregistration. 5. The vehicle management office should review the submitted documents and certificates within one day of receiving the application, retrieve the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license, and issue a deregistration certificate.

How to Judge the Distance in the Rearview Mirror?

First, observe the distance from the left rearview mirror. Since the driver's position is closest to the left rearview mirror, it is easier to judge the left field of vision. Divide the rearview mirror into four parts: the outer 1/4 is the danger zone, and the inner 3/4 is the safety zone. The following are the tips for judging the distance of vehicles in the rearview mirror: 1. The smaller the rear vehicle, the safer it is: you can proceed with normal driving, overtaking, and lane changing. 2. The rear vehicle occupies 1/3 of the mirror: the distance between the two vehicles is 10 meters. 3. The rear vehicle occupies 1/2 of the mirror: the distance between the two vehicles is 7 meters, suitable for turning. 4. The rear vehicle fills the entire rearview mirror: the distance between the two vehicles is 3 meters, not suitable for turning.

What is the repair method for partial damage of chrome trim?

The repair methods for partial damage of chrome trim are: 1. Use chrome paint for touch-up; 2. Remove the chrome plating entirely, weld and repair the damaged area, then re-plate the entire piece, polish, and apply thermal spraying; 3. Brush plating repair, which operates at low temperature, has good adhesion, allows for localized repair, and offers fast repair speed. Cleaning methods for chrome trim: 1. Toothpaste: Toothpaste contains antioxidants and decontamination abrasive particles, which can be applied with a wet towel to polish the trim; 2. WD-40 rust inhibitor: It has strong surface affinity and permeability for metal, penetrating into the metal's capillary pores to remove moisture and form an extremely thin, dense protective film.

How Many Years Do Jetta Shock Absorbers Generally Last?

Jetta shock absorbers do not have a specific replacement cycle and need to be replaced when signs of oil leakage or damage appear. Shock absorbers are used to dampen the oscillations from spring rebound after absorbing shocks and impacts from the road surface. Below are situations when shock absorbers need replacement: 1. Oil leakage: Inspect the shock absorber through the wheel arch using a flashlight. If external oil leakage is observed, it indicates damage to the shock absorber, and replacement is necessary. 2. Loose chassis: When driving on bumpy roads, if the vehicle exhibits excessive bouncing or unstable swaying, it usually indicates an issue with the shock absorbers, requiring inspection. 3. Abnormal noises: If the shock absorber produces unusual noises while driving on bumpy roads, it is highly likely damaged, necessitating inspection and possible replacement. 4. Uneven tire wear: Damaged shock absorbers cause unstable wheel vibrations during driving, leading to phenomena like wheel tilting. This results in severe wear on the part of the tire in contact with the ground while the unaffected part remains intact, creating uneven wear patterns. In such cases, inspect the shock absorbers and replace them if damage is confirmed.

How to Replace the Battery in a Toyota Remote Key?

Here is the method to replace the battery in a Toyota key: 1. There is a round button on the side of the car key. Press this button with one hand while pulling out the mechanical key with the other hand. 2. Locate the gap in the middle of the top of the key and insert a flat-head screwdriver into it. Pry the key up and down until a gap is created. If the key doesn't move, gradually increase the force until it does. 3. Remove the key's circuit board and gently push one side of the battery to remove it. Place the new battery with the positive side facing up into the battery slot and gently push it until it is fully secured. 4. Cover the key's circuit board back onto the key, align the two separated halves of the key, and press both sides of the key with your hands until the two parts are completely joined. Then, insert the mechanical key back into the key gap.

What are the symptoms when a car's timing belt is about to fail?

Symptoms when a timing belt is about to fail: 1. Minor damage (small deviation) can cause the car to lose power and struggle to accelerate when going uphill. 2. Severe damage (large deviation) can result in no idle speed, or the engine shaking violently at idle, with the exhaust pipe making popping sounds when accelerating, occasionally accompanied by the engine stalling after the popping sounds. 3. While driving, sudden unstable idle speed and a tendency to stall, most notably poor throttle response and weak acceleration. If these issues occur and faults in components like the throttle body are ruled out, the timing belt should be considered as a possible cause. 4. If the engine suddenly stalls while driving and, upon attempting to restart, the starter motor spins at a high speed with no compression felt, this typically indicates a broken timing belt (especially in older cars). Additional information: Timing belts are generally replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Each replacement involves one timing belt, and it is usually recommended to replace the tensioner and idler pulleys at the same time. If the belt shows cracks or missing teeth, immediate replacement is advised.
