While researching cars recently, I noticed the Polo Plus has significant dimensional changes compared to the standard Polo - mainly about 30cm length increase from approximately 4.05m to 4.37m, with slight width and height growth. This extension substantially improves interior space, especially rear legroom and trunk capacity, allowing more luggage for shopping or trips. Despite the larger size, handling remains agile with responsive steering, making it ideal for family use like mine - more comfortable when transporting kids or parents. Volkswagen's design is clever, offering consumers a practical alternative beyond just compact models, while still being manageable for urban parking. The slight weight increase may marginally affect fuel efficiency, but the space benefits make it worthwhile.

What to Do When the Car Interior Fogs Up on Rainy Days?

If the car interior fogs up, the following methods should be used to clear it promptly. 1. Use the air conditioning system to adjust the temperature for defogging. 2. Turn on the cold air to blow on the glass, which quickly eliminates fogging—the defogging effect is very direct. 3. Use hot air to blow on the glass, but the effect is slower than cold air. When parked, turn on the hot air first, then wipe the glass with a cloth. 4. Open windows for air circulation. If the fogging is not severe and the outside temperature is not too low, you can lower the windows slightly on both sides to allow air circulation inside the car. 5. Use detergent-based antifogging solutions to prevent fogging in advance. Mix the detergent and water in a ratio of about 1:10, then apply it to the inside of the front and rear windshields using a cotton swab or a clean, soft cloth. After drying, wipe off any remaining watermarks on the glass. Using this method in combination with the air conditioning will yield better results.

Can Windshield Washer Fluid Freeze and Crack the Reservoir?

If the windshield washer fluid is only slightly frozen, it will not crack the reservoir. However, if it freezes excessively, there is a possibility of damage. In mild cases, the reservoir may deform, while in severe cases, it could crack, and the spray piston may also freeze and crack. Therefore, if your current windshield washer fluid does not have antifreeze properties, it is best to replace it with an antifreeze-type fluid. It is recommended to choose a washer fluid with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the local minimum temperature. If you find that the washer fluid is not spraying out despite the reservoir being full, it indicates that the fluid has frozen. In this case, do not attempt to spray it further, as this could damage the motor. If the sun is strong, you can park the car in direct sunlight at noon and open the hood to let the sun thaw the fluid. If the freezing is not severe, the fluid will eventually melt. Alternatively, you can add some warm water to the reservoir. Once the washer fluid has thawed, drain it completely to prevent refreezing. Additionally, you can start the vehicle and drive for a while to use the engine's heat to thaw the frozen washer fluid, or purchase a specialized de-icer to melt it. After the washer fluid has thawed, remember to promptly replace it with a winter-grade or high-performance antifreeze-type washer fluid to prevent freezing again.

How long is a study session for Subject 3?

Each study session for Subject 3 lasts 60 minutes, with effective teaching time required to be no less than 45 minutes during clock-in sessions. According to regulations, candidates can clock in a maximum of 4 hours per day, and any sessions exceeding 4 hours will not be counted. The "Motor Vehicle Driver Training Syllabus" stipulates that for common C1 and C2 driver's license tests, 24 study sessions must be completed to schedule Subject 3. This includes 2 theoretical sessions and 22 practical driving sessions. For A1 and B1 licenses, 20 sessions are required, while A2, A3, and B2 licenses require 22, 33, and 32 sessions, respectively. For clocking in study sessions, trainees generally need to input their fingerprints during practice, and instructors must swipe their cards to prevent cheating by substitutes. Some regions have also begun implementing facial recognition for clock-in, which is more convenient.

Can a Newly Purchased Car Be Driven on the Highway?

Newly purchased cars can be driven on the highway, but proper methods should be followed. With the rapid advancement of automotive technology, mechanical precision has reached a high level. Some manufacturers even perform "cold running-in" before the vehicles leave the factory to spare owners the hassle of a traditional break-in period. This involves running the engine on a specialized test bench. Even so, it is still recommended to break in a new car for a period of time. Therefore, even when driving on the highway, appropriate driving methods should be adopted to avoid irreversible damage to the vehicle. Tips for Driving a New Car on the Highway: Warm up the car before driving on the highway. Whether driving on the highway or in daily use, it is advisable to drive slowly (at speeds not exceeding 60 km/h) for a while when the engine is cold. Wait until the coolant reaches the normal operating temperature before accelerating. Avoid aggressive driving. It is recommended to keep the RPM below 3,000 when accelerating. Gradual acceleration makes it easy for a new car to reach 120 km/h on the highway. Avoid prolonged highway driving. Generally, it is advisable to drive for two to three hours at a time. If continuous highway driving is necessary, take a break at a service area every four hours. Use reliable fuel. Different car engines have different compression ratios, so always follow the manufacturer's fuel recommendations. Additionally, refuel at reputable gas stations to avoid poor-quality or unverified gasoline from unauthorized sellers.

Why Does Water Drip from the Car Chassis?

The reasons for water dripping from the car chassis are: 1. Exhaust pipe dripping: The combustible mixture enters the engine cylinder for combustion, producing carbon dioxide and water. Under the airflow generated by the high-speed operation of the car engine, liquid water is carried out of the exhaust pipe along with the exhaust gas, resulting in water dripping from the exhaust pipe and causing water to appear on the car chassis. 2. Body drainage holes dripping: To prevent rainwater from accumulating in these areas and causing rust, drainage holes are designed in some parts of the body and chassis to allow rainwater and melted snow to drain out as quickly as possible. Drainage holes are usually located on both sides of the windshield wipers, and rainwater near the front windshield flows out through the deflector. Door drainage holes are generally hidden under the door seal at the bottom of the door panel, mainly to drain rainwater that seeps into the door from the gaps around the windows, which can also cause water to appear on the car chassis. 3. Air conditioning drain pipe dripping: In summer, the use of air conditioning is very frequent. When the air conditioning is working, condensation water is generated in the evaporator of the air conditioning system. Normally, this condensation water is drained out of the car through a dedicated drain pipe. If the drain pipe is blocked or bent, the water cannot flow out, leading to water appearing on the car chassis.

What does OBD mean on a car dashboard?

OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics in English, which means the onboard automatic diagnostic system in Chinese. The OBD system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check whether the vehicle's exhaust exceeds the standard. If it exceeds the standard, a warning will be issued immediately. When a system failure occurs, the malfunction indicator lamp or check engine warning light will illuminate, and the powertrain control module will store the fault information in the memory. Through a certain procedure, the fault code can be read from the PCM. Based on the prompt of the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. OBD monitors the engine, catalytic converter, particulate trap, oxygen sensor, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, and other systems and components in real-time. Then, through different emission-related component information, it connects to the ECU. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes and issues a warning through the malfunction indicator lamp to inform the driver. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.
