The coolant in the Volkswagen Teramont should be replaced every two years or 60,000 kilometers. Coolant is a special additive-containing liquid primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems, providing anti-freeze protection in winter, anti-boil protection in summer, and year-round anti-scale and anti-corrosion properties. The Volkswagen Teramont is a mid-to-large-sized 5-door, 7-seat SUV with body dimensions of 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1773mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2980mm. The Volkswagen Teramont is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 137 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 320 Newton-meters.

As a long-term Volkswagen Teramont owner, based on my experience, it's safest to change the coolant every two years or 30,000 kilometers. Volkswagen's official manual also recommends this interval, but you need to pay attention to actual usage conditions. For example, in cold regions, if not replaced promptly, the liquid can freeze and damage the radiator – I once nearly had an engine overheat and stall because of this. I regularly check the coolant level and color changes; if it appears cloudy or develops an odor, those are signs of aging. I recommend having the shop test the freezing point during each maintenance service to protect engine longevity – don't invite major trouble just to save a little money.

What are the fault lights on the Han V400 dashboard?

Dashboard warning lights in a car may indicate issues such as parking sensor failure, excessive brake pad wear, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, insufficient brake fluid, fuel cutoff system intervention, or other faults. Coolant Temperature Warning Light: The coolant temperature fault indicator and dashboard display signal that the engine coolant temperature is too high, indicating a problem. Possible causes include low coolant level, faulty temperature sensor, or cooling system circulation failure. The vehicle should be stopped and inspected immediately to prevent engine damage. Brake System Warning Light: When the brake fault indicator illuminates, potential issues may include severely worn brake pads, brake fluid loss, or electrical circuit shorting. If the brake warning light appears, stop to verify braking functionality and whether the vehicle can decelerate properly, then promptly drive to a nearby repair shop for inspection. Failure to address this may result in catastrophic brake failure leading to vehicle damage or fatalities. ABS Warning Light: Illumination of the ABS warning light requires immediate attention to the vehicle's braking system. Timely diagnosis and inspection are crucial to reduce safety hazards. Airbag Fault Indicator: When the airbag warning light appears, it signifies a malfunction in the airbag system. Immediate inspection at an authorized 4S dealership is recommended. Otherwise, the airbags may fail to deploy during a collision. Oil Pressure Warning Light: The engine oil pressure warning light (typically depicted as an oil can symbol) indicates potential issues such as insufficient oil level or oil leakage. Immediate shutdown and inspection are necessary to prevent engine damage.

How long does it take to process a vehicle inspection exemption on a mobile phone?

Generally, it takes 3-5 working days. Inspection-exempt vehicles need to apply for inspection labels: Exemption from inspection does not mean exemption from review. During the 6-year inspection exemption period, vehicle owners only need to provide proof of compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption every 2 years to apply for inspection labels from the traffic management department. Definition of inspection-exempt vehicles: The 6-year inspection exemption for non-operational passenger vehicles and other vehicles means that the vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection. Owners of inspection-exempt vehicles only need to go to the "6-year inspection-exempt vehicle" label issuance office to apply for inspection qualification labels. Starting from November 20, 2020, seven-seater vehicles have been officially included in the inspection exemption scope.

Will running a red light at night go unnoticed by cameras?

If there are cameras, they will capture the violation. According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations,' driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal regulations results in a 6-point penalty. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to move forward. Here are some tips to avoid running a red light: First, observe the arrow signal, then the circular signal: Currently, there are two types of traffic signals: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. When an arrow signal is present, first check the arrow signal and then the circular signal to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, you may turn right; however, if the right-turn arrow is red, you must not turn right, or you will be penalized for running a red light. Brake promptly: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of your vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light is flashing, if there is a countdown, use it to judge whether to proceed. If there is no countdown and you are close to the intersection with high speed, you may proceed to avoid braking too late and running the red light. If your speed is low and you are far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running the red light. Article 38 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states the following for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signals: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle signal. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered a violation under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the act as running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic signals, the evidence of violation may be blurry. In such cases, mistakenly running a red light will not result in penalties. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, you may run multiple red lights, far exceeding the 12-point limit. After delivering the patient, provide proof from the hospital or the person assisted to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records will be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is advisable to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow the gestures of the traffic police. The traffic police department states that Article 38 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' specifies that when the yellow light flashes at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If you proceed through the intersection after the yellow light has already turned on, you will be penalized for running a red light if captured.

Why Does My Car Have a Strong Gasoline Smell?

Reasons for a strong gasoline smell in a car are as follows: Incomplete Combustion of Gasoline: If the gasoline smell is very strong after starting the car but disappears after the engine warms up, it is a normal phenomenon. This happens because the combustion efficiency is poor when the car is first started. During a cold start, the water temperature and exhaust pipe temperature are low, and the air-fuel mixture is richer, causing some of the mixture to not burn completely and be expelled through the exhaust pipe, resulting in a noticeable gasoline smell. Aging Rubber Hoses: Rubber hoses in the engine compartment can deteriorate over time, especially in older vehicles. Once these hoses age, gasoline may leak into the engine compartment. The air conditioning system can then draw this gasoline smell into the cabin. Therefore, aged rubber hoses should be replaced promptly. Leakage at Gasoline Pipe Connections: If there is leakage at the connections of the gasoline pipes, the gasoline smell can enter the cabin through the air conditioning system. If you notice a gasoline smell inside the car, the connections of the gasoline pipes should be inspected.

Can a Motorcycle Battery Cause Electric Shock?

The voltage of a motorcycle battery is only 12V, which falls under the safe voltage range. Under normal circumstances, it will not cause any harm to the human body. Even if connected incorrectly, it will only blow the battery fuse or damage the wiring on the motorcycle, without directly harming a person. Functions of a Motorcycle Battery: It provides power for the entire vehicle and additional electronic components installed by the user, such as headlights and charging ports. When starting the engine or idling, it supplies all the electrical power needed for the vehicle. During riding, it works in tandem with the generator to promptly charge or discharge, ensuring the vehicle operates normally. Storage of a Motorcycle Battery: Store it in a dry, ventilated, and cool place, avoiding moisture or high temperatures. If the vehicle is left unused for an extended period, remove the battery, clean it, and store it after charging. Maintain a charging frequency of at least once a month. Before using the battery, do not remove the rubber cap or aluminum foil, as this can lead to oxidation of the lead plates, resulting in reduced battery performance.
