Audi A4 uses an electronic oil dipstick, and the engine oil level can be checked on the central control screen inside the car. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine Oil Level: If the oil level is below the MIN mark, it means there is too little oil, which may lead to insufficient lubrication of the engine. If the oil level is above the MAX mark, it is also not acceptable, as this will increase the internal resistance during engine operation and may damage the catalytic converter. 2. Frequently Check the Oil Level: Some German cars are prone to burning oil. If your car burns oil, you need to check the oil level frequently and add oil promptly when the level is insufficient. 3. Low Oil Level Warning: Cars equipped with an electronic oil dipstick will issue a warning when the oil level is too low. If a warning appears while driving, you should add oil immediately and check whether the car is burning or leaking oil. 4. After Adding Oil: Always tighten the oil filler cap securely; otherwise, it may result in oil loss after driving for some time.

How many reference points are there for reverse parking?

There are 2 reference points for reverse parking, located on the left and right side mirrors. Below are relevant introductions about reverse parking in Subject 2 of the driving test: 1. Keep a close eye on the mirrors: During reverse parking in Subject 2, always pay attention to the left and right side mirrors. If you notice one side is wider, slightly turn the steering wheel towards that side to prevent the other side from crossing the line. Also, when initially determining the timing to fully turn the steering wheel, make sure to turn it decisively without hesitation. 2. Maintain distance: During the process of fully turning the steering wheel and reversing, the rear of the car gradually enters the parking space. Before fully entering, ensure the wheels maintain a 30cm distance from the corner of the parking space. Students should continuously observe from the mirrors and make corrections if the distance is less or more than 30cm, otherwise the car will definitely cross the line after entering the space.

How long can a new car sit without being driven before the battery dies?

Under normal circumstances, a new car's battery will start to lose charge if left undriven for about 1-2 months. The exact timeframe primarily depends on the battery's quality and remaining charge level, as well as whether the storage environment is dry or humid. Additionally, it's influenced by whether any electrical components in the car are consuming power. Battery self-discharge: Car batteries have an inherent characteristic called self-discharge. This means even when the vehicle is completely stationary, the battery will gradually discharge over time. Prolonged inactivity can lead to complete discharge and potentially cause irreversible damage to the battery, such as significantly reduced lifespan. Precautions: To prevent battery drain when leaving a car unused for extended periods, it's important to periodically recharge the battery. This can be done by starting the vehicle and letting it run for over an hour every week or ten days - note that shorter running times may not provide sufficient recharge. If unable to start the vehicle regularly, it's recommended to disconnect all battery cables completely.

What are the differences between China II and China III motorcycles?

The differences between China II and China III motorcycles include price, road access restrictions, and residual value. Difference in vehicle price: Compared to China II motorcycles, China III motorcycles are equipped with additional components. Moreover, automobile manufacturers incur extra costs from various tests for vehicle declaration approval and production, resulting in China III motorcycles being significantly more expensive than China II motorcycles. Difference in road access restrictions: Many local policies impose restrictions or even outright bans on vehicles with low emission standards, preventing them from being driven or limiting their access to certain areas. China III motorcycles face fewer restrictions compared to China II motorcycles. Difference in motorcycle residual value: Due to factors such as scrapping time limits, road access restrictions, and entry limitations in certain areas, motorcycles with the same condition but different emission standards can have vastly different residual values. Additionally, vehicles with excessively low emission standards are harder to sell. China III motorcycles generally have higher residual values compared to China II motorcycles.

Is It Necessary to Install an Underbody Guard for Sedans?

It is necessary. If you frequently drive on low-lying or gravel roads, installing an underbody guard is essential. Otherwise, over time, a significant amount of mud will accumulate in the underbody and engine compartment, which not only increases the vehicle's fuel consumption but also affects its performance. On the other hand, if you primarily use your car for urban commuting, installing an underbody guard may not be necessary. Below is more detailed information: 1. Definition of Underbody Guard: The scientific name for an underbody guard is automotive underbody anti-collision, anti-rust, and soundproofing coating. It is a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating that is non-toxic, offers high coverage, and strong adhesion. It can be sprayed on exposed areas such as the vehicle's underbody, lower body panels, and trunk, quickly drying to form a durable elastic protective layer. 2. Functions: It prevents impacts from flying stones and gravel, protects against moisture and salt erosion on the underbody metal, prevents rust and corrosion, and ensures the safety of the vehicle owner's driving.

What is the standard for water content in transmission fluid?

Transmission fluid should have a water content of less than 0.05%. It can be judged by fluid level, smell, and color. Transmission fluid level: If the vehicle uses the correct transmission fluid and the fluid appears healthy, be careful not to overfill when topping up, as this may have the opposite effect. A low fluid level may also indicate a leakage issue. If the fluid level remains consistently low, the vehicle should be inspected and repaired as soon as possible. Transmission fluid smell: If the transmission fluid is clean and functioning properly, it has a smell similar to engine oil. If the fluid has a burnt smell, especially accompanied by dark-colored liquid, it may indicate that the fluid has deteriorated and requires immediate inspection and repair at a professional service center such as a 4S shop. Transmission fluid color: As transmission fluid ages, its quality may degrade, and it will darken over time. Unless the fluid is dark brown or black, there is no need for excessive concern. If the fluid is black, it should be inspected and repaired immediately, as the fluid may have deteriorated, or there could be more serious issues with the transmission requiring repair or replacement.
