The Octavia comes pre-installed with a high-strength plastic underbody guard from the factory. Due to its slightly smaller coverage area, many owners choose to install additional aluminum alloy or other metal underbody guards. Functions of the underbody guard: The primary purpose of the underbody guard design is to protect the engine or transmission oil pan from being struck by flying stones or debris, while also helping to reduce exterior acceleration noise (there are national regulations regarding exterior acceleration noise). It is not designed to prevent oil pan scraping when driving on rough roads. Underbody guard materials: The factory-installed underbody guard is made of high-strength plastic. Being lightweight, it can be installed on the subframe, wheel arches, and other areas without compromising the vehicle's original structure.

I've been driving the Octavia PRO for a while and noticed that the base model doesn't come with an engine guard as standard, but the salesperson said it could be added. So I installed a steel one myself, and now I don't worry about gravel or water splashes damaging the engine when driving in rural areas. The guard protects the oil pan from leaks or rust, especially important on gravel roads. After installation, I feel more at ease, and maintenance is also more worry-free. I suggest you check the configurations when buying a car or spend a little extra to add this option—it significantly improves the car's durability.

As a practical car owner, I've researched the configuration of the Octavia PRO – it doesn't come with an engine guard plate by default. After installing one, the benefits are evident: for instance, during commutes, it prevents mud and water corrosion and protects battery cables from low-speed collision damage. I chose aluminum alloy material for its lightweight and anti-corrosion properties. Don't underestimate this small component – it safeguards the engine's lifespan during long journeys. Installation is straightforward, easily handled by a 4S shop or modification shop, and the cost is quite affordable.

Having driven for many years, I prioritize safety details, and an engine guard is essential for vehicle protection. The Octavia PRO generally doesn't come with one as standard, but adding a guard plate is crucial. It blocks road debris from damaging the engine and prevents rust on slippery roads. Always inspect the undercarriage before driving to ensure secure installation.

What are the benefits of car OTA updates?

Car OTA updates serve the purposes of quickly fixing system defects and enabling rapid iteration to enhance product and user experience. Below are the relevant introductions about car OTA updates: 1. Quick Fix for System Defects: Traditional cars may encounter system defects during user driving verification, and the only solution is for the automaker to initiate a recall program, requiring users to return to the factory for a unified system upgrade after receiving the recall notice. In contrast, OTA technology can remotely and swiftly complete defect fixes via data packages, significantly avoiding the risks associated with prolonged factory recalls lasting several months. 2. Rapid Iteration and Improved Product & User Experience: Due to the advanced hardware configuration in product design, smart connected car operating systems can continuously unlock new features for car owners through successive OTA updates, optimize product experience, enable rapid iteration, and provide higher-quality system services. This truly allows car owners to experience what it means to 'always drive a new car.'

Is it illegal to put stickers on the rear window of a car?

It is not illegal to put stickers on the rear window of a car. Types: Car windows are usually divided into four types: front and rear windshields, ventilation windows, heat-insulating side windows, and sunroofs. The front and rear windows of a car are usually made of curved glass that provides good visibility and aesthetics, embedded in the window frame with rubber seals or attached to the window frame with special adhesives. To facilitate natural ventilation, the side window glass of a car can usually be moved up and down or back and forth. Window materials: More than 80 years ago, glass was already installed on the Ford Model T, using flat glass at the front of the compartment to protect the driver from wind and rain. In the decades since, the glass industry has gradually entered the automotive industry, creating a variety of safety glass types such as laminated glass, tempered glass, and regional tempered glass, greatly improving the performance of automotive glass.

Does Revving the Throttle in Neutral Affect a Motorcycle?

Yes. Revving the throttle in neutral is bad for a motorcycle and can easily cause carbon buildup. Engine Lubrication: If you rev the throttle immediately after starting the engine, the engine won't be properly lubricated before it starts working, which increases wear on various components. When you start the car in the morning, the idle speed hasn't yet dropped to normal levels, meaning the engine is still cold, and the oil remains in the oil pan. At this point, it takes a few minutes for the oil to circulate and properly lubricate the engine. If you rev the engine above 4,000 RPM before it's fully lubricated, the components won't be operating under optimal conditions, making them highly susceptible to damage. Normal Driving: Under normal circumstances, aggressive driving refers to engine speeds exceeding 6,000 RPM, while speeds between 3,000 and 6,000 RPM are considered spirited driving. Anything below 3,000 RPM falls under normal driving conditions.

Can Motorcycles Use Elevated Roads?

Motorcycles are generally not allowed on elevated bridges, but they can use elevated interchanges where motorcycle traffic is not prohibited. Engine displacement requirements for motorcycles on highways: Motorcycles with 50cc or larger displacement can use highways. The driving speed must not be lower than 60 km/h and should not exceed 80 km/h. When riding on highways, motorcycles must not carry passengers and riders must wear helmets. Except during national holidays designated by the State Council when tolls are waived, motorcycles are charged according to the toll standard for passenger vehicles with fewer than 7 seats. Restrictions for motorcycles on highways: According to the speed limits for different lanes on highways, motorcycles should travel in the outermost lane. A motorcycle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. They are lightweight, flexible, fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serve as sports equipment.
