Volkswagen's dry dual clutch does require oil changes. Essentially, Volkswagen's DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission is a manual transmission system with a dual-clutch setup and shift mechanism. Compared to AT transmissions, it can have its oil changed a bit later. The automatic transmission fluid in the sealed transmission not only serves as a lubricant but also operates the DSG's shift valve body and the AT transmission's torque converter, both of which require oil pressure to function. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. Taking the Sagitar as an example, its body dimensions are 4544mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1461mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2578mm. In terms of appearance, the Sagitar features angular headlights and a wide front bumper, adding a youthful and dynamic feel. The lower waistline on the side of the body adopts a concave design, integrating seamlessly with the front and rear wheel arches, while the high waistline outlines a precise body curve.

Is it allowed to reverse on a one-way street?

Article 49: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make a U-turn at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other dangerous sections.

Where to Apply for a Car ETC?

ETC can be applied for at bank branches, online banking platforms, or highway service areas. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is made by someone other than the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank debit card application form is needed. The debit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the debit card, you can go to designated bank branches to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. Documents required for company-owned vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the agent; original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle requiring ETC. You can also apply online: Since most banks have their own online services and sections, they have launched online ETC application services for the convenience of vehicle owners, allowing applications to be made without leaving home. Here are some notes for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or where the solar panel might be blocked. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield presses the lever in. If removed, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

Does the navigation prompt 'Speed Limit Exceeded' mean I was actually speeding?
