Volkswagen cars should undergo their first maintenance after six months of purchase or after reaching 5,000 kilometers. The first maintenance of a car refers to the initial servicing after the vehicle leaves the factory. The primary tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter. During the oil and filter replacement, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle is conducted, which includes checking all lights, fluid levels, the functionality of the electrical system, tire inspection, and pressure adjustment. Volkswagen's lineup includes models such as the Lavida, Tayron, Magotan, Santana, and Sagitar. Among these, the Santana has a body length, width, and height of 4475mm, 1706mm, and 1469mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2603mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 82kW and a maximum torque of 145Nm.

What does the MAX button in a car represent?

"MAX" stands for "maximum." When the MAX button on a car's air conditioning system is activated, it represents the strongest cooling mode. Below are detailed explanations of MAX in cars: 1. After turning on the air conditioning cooling switch (A/C) and then pressing MAX, the air conditioning will enter the strongest cooling mode with the blower operating at maximum airflow. Its purpose is to lower the interior temperature as quickly as possible. 2. In the engine compartment, various fluid reservoirs also have MAX markings. Here, MAX similarly means "maximum" or "highest," sometimes simply denoted by the letter M. 3. The MAX marking on fluid reservoirs indicates the upper limit of the fluid level. The highest point of the fluid level should not exceed the horizontal line corresponding to MAX.

What is the B-pillar of a car?

B-pillar, also known as the center pillar, is located between the front door and the rear door. More information about the B-pillar is as follows: 1. The B-pillar bears the pressure from both the roof and the front and rear doors. Additionally, some additional components, such as the front seat belts, are installed inside the B-pillar. To better achieve force transmission, the B-pillar often protrudes outward. 2. There are three pillars on both sides of the front windshield and the front and rear door windows, which are, from front to back, the A-pillar (front pillar), B-pillar (center pillar), and C-pillar (rear pillar). 3. The strength of the A, B, and C pillars is also an important indicator of a car's safety, which is significant for the lives inside the vehicle. Some high-end cars integrate the A, B, and C pillars with the body and frame, greatly improving safety.

Can a Rearview Camera Be Installed Afterwards?

A rearview camera can be installed after the original purchase. 1. If the vehicle does not come with a rearview camera, it can be installed later. 2. Installing a rearview camera does not harm the vehicle itself, as long as the original wiring is not damaged during the installation process. Currently, there are two main types of aftermarket rearview cameras: the standalone external screen type and the embedded screen type. 1. Standalone External Screen Type: This type uses a separate small screen to display the image captured by the rear camera. It features a simple structure and easy installation, but the screen size is usually small and of lower quality. 2. Embedded Screen Type: This type displays the image on the embedded infotainment screen. Since most embedded screens are Android-based head units, they not only provide the rearview camera function but also include additional smart features such as car connectivity, intelligent navigation, and other functionalities supported by Android-based car systems.
