Volkswagen's tire pressure monitoring principle utilizes data transmitted by the ABS system sensors to monitor the rotational speed of each wheel and changes in their rolling circumference. Below are the relevant details: 1. If the rolling circumference of any wheel changes, the warning light will illuminate. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting drivers to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. 2. When tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, while the pressure borne by the tire increases relatively, affecting the tire's grip. 3. Additionally, when the vehicle passes over potholes or bumpy roads, insufficient space inside the tire to absorb vibrations not only impacts driving stability and ride comfort but also increases the impact on the suspension system, posing further risks. Moreover, the potential for tire blowouts in high temperatures also increases accordingly.

What Are the Causes of Intermittent Failure in Power Window Operation?

The causes of intermittent failure in power window operation are: 1. Deformation or damage to the glass channel; 2. Loose screws fixing the window regulator; 3. Damage to the window regulator; 4. Misalignment in the installation position of the guide rail. Reasons for difficult window operation include: 1. Damage to the window lift motor or poor contact in the electrical control harness; 2. Motor overheating protection; 3. Excessive resistance in the glass guide channel; 4. Loss of computer data. Solutions for difficult window operation are: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, hold the switch to raise the window, continue holding for more than three seconds after the window reaches the top, release the switch and immediately press it down to lower the window to the bottom for more than three seconds, then repeat the raising action once to complete the initialization procedure; 2. Insert chopsticks wrapped in a damp towel into the glass guide channel, move them up and down forcefully to clean the channel, and continuously remove and clean the towel to remove dirt until no more dirt comes out.

Is OFF On or Off?

OFF means off. ON and OFF on machine switches indicate the power's on and off states, respectively. These are not abbreviations but full English words: ON means on, and OFF means off. Of course, some car switches may also be labeled, such as the headlight switch. Below is some information about OFF: 1. The OFF light on a car mainly refers to ESP-OFF. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, an active safety device designed to prevent the vehicle from skidding or losing control. If the ESP-OFF light comes on, it means the vehicle's stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. Blue and green indicator lights on the dashboard indicate that the corresponding system is on or functioning normally, while yellow and red lights indicate that the system is off or malfunctioning. 2. If you accidentally press the ESP-OFF button in the car, simply press it again briefly to reactivate ESP. If the ESP-OFF light comes on due to a system malfunction, you should promptly take the car to a 4S shop for inspection. There are many reasons why a warning light might come on, such as wiring faults, sensor damage, incorrect signals from the electronic control unit, or a low battery.

What is the difference between Haojue VF100 and VF125?

The difference between Haojue VF100 and VF125 lies in the fuel tank capacity: the fuel tank capacity of Haojue VF100 is 6.2 liters, while that of Haojue VF125 is 5.9 liters. A motorcycle is a flexible and fast means of transportation, powered by a gasoline engine, and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It can be a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle, known for its light weight, agility, and speed, widely used for patrolling, passenger and cargo transport, and as sports equipment. Daily maintenance methods for motorcycles include: 1. During the break-in period, keep the motorcycle idle speed at 100 rpm; 2. Match the gear with the speed; 3. When braking is needed upon noticing an obstacle ahead, release the throttle, step on the rear brake with the right foot, and gently apply the front brake with the right hand; 4. Regularly check the spark plug; 5. When installing a new spark plug, hand-tighten it until it can't be turned anymore, then use a spark plug socket to tighten it by a quarter to half a turn; 6. Regularly lubricate the chain.

Can the old license plate number still be used when buying a new car?

Yes, the old license plate number can still be used when buying a new car. As long as the conditions for retaining the original plate are met, you can apply to the counter staff to use the original plate when registering a newly purchased vehicle (either a new car or a used car). Five conditions for retaining the original plate: The license plate must be under the same owner, meaning the two vehicles must belong to the same person; The registration location must be the same; The type of license plate must be the same, meaning a yellow plate can only be replaced with another yellow plate, a blue plate with another blue plate, and a green plate with another green plate; The vehicle must be non-commercial, meaning only private household vehicles can be replaced; commercial vehicles like taxis cannot be replaced; For plates that have undergone a swap, you must wait one year before applying for another swap or to retain the original plate number. Steps for installing a vehicle license plate: Screw all the mounting points for the plate with the screw components; Once the plate is in the correct position, tighten all the screws; Align the cap with the gasket, press it down, and secure it in place.

Should I use D+ or D- for uphill driving?

D gear is generally used for city driving. D+ is used when climbing hills that require more power, while D- is used for descending small slopes. The choice between D, D+, or D- depends on the steepness of the slope. For gentle slopes, D gear is sufficient. For steeper slopes where D gear lacks power, S gear may be necessary. Lower gears provide higher torque, making it easier to climb hills. However, it's essential to develop the habit of using S gear when descending steep slopes, as it benefits the vehicle and ensures driving safety. Below are introductions to D gear and S gear: 1. D gear represents the drive gear, common in all automatic transmission vehicles. After shifting into D gear, the vehicle's computer will automatically shift gears based on pre-set programs. + is for manual mode upshift, and - is for manual mode downshift. 2. D(+,-): Manual mode. Allows manual gear shifting—push up to upshift, pull down to downshift. It enables starting in 2nd gear. 3. S gear consumes more fuel. S gear operates at higher RPMs, with delayed upshifts and early downshifts, providing better vehicle power. It's suitable for climbing steep hills or overtaking. Switching between S and D is generally possible at any time, but it's advised not to shift from D to S at high speeds or high engine RPMs.

How to Quickly Remove Formaldehyde from a Newly Purchased Car?

Methods to quickly remove formaldehyde from a newly purchased car are as follows: Remove the plastic wrapping promptly: After buying a new car, do not delay removing the interior plastic wrapping to maintain the car's freshness. Remove it as soon as possible to allow harmful gases to dissipate quickly. Open windows for ventilation: To accelerate the dissipation of harmful gases, an effective method is ventilation. Before starting the car each time, open the windows to let air circulate before driving off. Alternatively, when parking, leave a small gap in the windows to maintain ventilation inside the car, which can effectively reduce the hazards of formaldehyde.
