The new Santana only has a front anti-collision beam but lacks a rear one. The primary function of anti-collision beams is to transmit impact forces. Both front and rear anti-collision beams are connected to the vehicle's longitudinal beams. When the car suffers a frontal or rear impact, if the force acts on the anti-collision beam, the beam can transfer the impact force to the connected parts behind, allowing the longitudinal beams and passenger compartment to bear the main force. The platform of the new Santana is an expanded version of Volkswagen's PQ25 platform, offering advantages in wheelbase and width compared to the older Santana models. The new Santana adopts Volkswagen's updated A05+ platform, where 'A05' signifies the fifth-generation platform for Volkswagen's A0-class vehicles, and the '+' symbol indicates an enhanced version of the platform. The so-called enhancement mainly refers to an increase in dimensions.

Should You Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission Car While Driving?

Whether you need to press the brake when shifting gears in an automatic transmission car while driving depends on the situation: it is mandatory to press the brake only when shifting from P (Park) to other gears; switching between other gears does not require pressing the brake. Automatic transmission cars do not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car include: 1. Do not shift into P (Park) while driving; 2. After driving, you must turn off the engine and shift into P (Park) before removing the key; 3. Do not shift into N (Neutral) to coast while driving; 4. When starting the vehicle in P (Park) or N (Neutral), shift the gear lever out of P (Park) while pressing the brake, turn on the power while pressing the brake, shift to N (Neutral), and after ignition, shift to D (Drive) to move forward directly.
