I've been driving my Passat B8 for almost five years, and adjusting the seat forward and backward is actually quite simple. If you have manual seats, just find a metal lever under the seat, lift it while pushing the seat slider forward or backward with your body, and you'll hear a click sound indicating it's locked. The electric version is even more convenient—there's a small control panel on the inner side of the door with forward and backward arrow buttons; press them, and the seat will automatically slide to your desired position. When adjusting, don't forget to fasten your seatbelt and ensure your sitting posture is comfortable and not awkward, so your legs won't get sore during long drives. For routine maintenance, I occasionally clean the seat rails with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup that might hinder movement. If the seat gets stuck, first check if debris is blocking the slider. If you can't fix it yourself, take it to a repair shop as soon as possible to avoid compromising driving safety.

How to Avoid Stalling on a Hill Start?

Methods to avoid stalling on a hill start: Before starting, first ensure that the clutch and brake are fully depressed. Then slowly release the clutch. When the vehicle begins to shake noticeably, keep the left foot steady on the clutch pedal without moving, and gradually release the brake with the right foot. Once the vehicle starts moving, completely release the brake. Another method involves using the handbrake. When parking on a slope, engage the handbrake. During startup, release the handbrake with the right hand, gently lift the clutch with the left foot, and slightly press the accelerator with the right foot. Then gently lift the clutch again with the left foot until reaching the semi-engaged state. Keep the clutch steady, add a bit more throttle, and immediately release the handbrake. The driver should maintain a calm mindset and avoid panic.

Does the Dash Cam Keep Recording After the Car is Turned Off?

After the car is turned off, the dash cam does not keep recording. The power source of the car dash cam is connected to the vehicle's ignition system. When the car is turned off, the ignition system loses power, so the connected dash cam also powers off. Continuous power supply would increase the battery consumption and wear out the car battery, but it can be manually turned on if needed. Considerations for installing a dash cam: 1. The camera should have a wide-angle lens to comprehensively record the surroundings of the vehicle; 2. The dash cam should have good video clarity and night recording capability; 3. Choose a model with high concealment to reduce the risk of theft or window smashing; 4. The mainstream video processor format is movavi format. In addition to mandatory installation on buses, coaches, and school buses, logistics and transportation companies are also starting to require dash cams, and the products must have 3C certification.
