There is a button on the lower left and lower right corners of the dashboard. You only need to use these two buttons to quickly adjust the time. Here are the steps to adjust the time on the dashboard: 1. First, familiarize yourself with the two buttons for adjusting the time. Press the left button once. The left button is the selection button, and pressing it once adjusts the hour. Then press the right button once. The right button is the adjustment button, and pressing it once increases the value by one. After adjusting the hour, proceed to adjust the minutes. 2. Press the left button twice in quick succession to adjust the minutes. Then, similarly, use the right button to increase or decrease the minutes until the desired time is set. Note that you should operate quickly when adjusting the time. If the interval is too long, you may need to readjust. Additionally, you cannot adjust the time while the vehicle is in motion.

When it comes to adjusting the time on the dashboard, I have to share my own experience with my car. Most models have a setting button near the steering wheel or on the center console. I first press the button labeled MODE or SET, and the dashboard screen will display the time option. Then, I use the directional keys to adjust the hours and minutes up or down, and confirm once done. If the dashboard doesn't respond, it might be due to a dead battery or loose wiring connections. You should check if the vehicle is powered on, as the electronic system only works then. My old car sometimes resets to the initial time, which indicates a backup power issue in the system. It's advisable to regularly check if the dashboard display is functioning properly. Different car models have different methods—for example, German cars often require navigating the main menu for settings, while Japanese cars can be adjusted directly with physical buttons. The general rule is to avoid forcing it and operate patiently. I always feel that an inaccurate time affects my driving mood, so I check it monthly to ensure it's precise.

What does the automotive VCU mean?

The automotive VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) refers to the core electronic control unit responsible for vehicle control decision-making. It is typically equipped only in new energy vehicles, while traditional fuel-powered vehicles do not require this device. Below are relevant details about the automotive VCU: 1. Functional aspects: The VCU collects signals from components such as the accelerator pedal, gear position, and brake pedal to determine the driver's intentions. By monitoring the vehicle's status information, the VCU processes this data and issues operational control commands to the powertrain and battery systems. It also regulates the working mode of the vehicle's auxiliary electrical systems. Additionally, the VCU features comprehensive system fault diagnosis, protection, and storage functions. 2. Design principles: The VCU hardware adopts standardized core module circuits and specialized VCU circuit designs. The standardized core module circuits can be ported for use in MCUs (Motor Control Units) and BMS (Battery Management Systems), making the platform-based hardware highly portable and scalable.

What is the Difference Between Full Synthetic and Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil for Car Maintenance?

Different base oils, different replacement cycles, different operating temperatures, different vehicle suitability, and different additives used. Below is relevant information about full synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oils for car maintenance: 1. Different base oils: Semi-synthetic oil uses Group III base oil; full synthetic oil is a blend of Group III, IV, and V base oils. 2. Different replacement cycles: Semi-synthetic oil should be replaced every six months or 7,500 kilometers; full synthetic oil should be replaced every year or 10,000 kilometers. 3. Different operating temperatures: Full synthetic oil has a wider operating temperature range. Under the same working conditions, full synthetic oil can protect the engine with lower viscosity, while semi-synthetic oil has relatively higher requirements. 4. Different vehicle suitability: Semi-synthetic oil is more suitable for economical, small-displacement vehicles with smooth driving; full synthetic oil can perform under various harsh and extreme conditions or for those pursuing engine maintenance. 5. Different additives used: Full synthetic oil uses additives with higher TBN content, extending oil life and cleaning the engine; semi-synthetic oil uses additives with lower TBN content, shortening the maintenance cycle and producing sulfated ash.
