The vehicle identification plate is a label that displays vehicle information, which generally includes details such as the production date, VIN code, displacement, and manufacturing company. For joint-venture and domestic brand vehicles, small dots and Arabic numerals on the six pieces of glass (front, rear, left, and right) indicate the year of glass production. The tire manufacturing date consists of a 4-digit Arabic number. The first two digits represent the specific production week, while the last two digits indicate the production year.

What does coolant mean in a car?

In a car, coolant refers to antifreeze (coolant), which is marked on the antifreeze reservoir, and the indicator light on the dashboard will also display it. The functions of antifreeze include the following two points: 1. Protecting the engine: (1) In winter, it prevents the coolant from freezing and damaging the engine: when parking in cold winter, it prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or freezing the engine cylinder block or head; (2) In summer, it avoids boiling over: during high summer temperatures, it effectively prevents boiling and avoids overheating. The role of car antifreeze is significant, directly affecting the car's performance and lifespan. 2. It has anti-corrosion properties and can protect all these metals: since the engine cooling system includes metals such as steel, aluminum alloy, cast iron, and copper, the cylinder block and head are generally made of cast aluminum or cast iron, and the radiator is mainly made of copper and brass. Antifreeze must be able to protect all these metals as it is in long-term contact with them. Using deionized water and appropriate additives can prevent various types of corrosion.

How to Reset the Octavia Tire Pressure Warning Light?

The method to reset the Octavia tire pressure warning light is as follows: After addressing the tire pressure issue, first turn on the ignition switch. Then, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting the driver to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotational speed between the tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a fully direct system.

Should You Shift to Neutral at a Red Light?

If the waiting time is relatively long, it is advisable to shift to neutral. For short durations, shifting to neutral is not necessary. Here is some relevant information about the N (Neutral) gear: 1. The N gear is defined as the neutral gear, used for temporary parking: This gear is located between the R (Reverse) and D (Drive) gears. It can be engaged when waiting at traffic lights or during parking waits exceeding 30 seconds, with the purpose of disconnecting the power transmission between the input and output shafts inside the transmission. 2. Differences between P (Park) and N (Neutral) gears: (1) Structural differences, presence or absence of a locking mechanism: The P gear has a locking mechanism that locks the transmission gear when engaged. After shifting to P, even if the parking brake is not applied, the car will not move. However, if shifted to N without applying the parking brake, the car can still move. (2) Different usage scenarios, varying parking durations, and different gear selections: The P gear is used when parking, turning off the engine, and leaving the vehicle, while the N gear can be used for short-term parking.

Does Changing Wheel Color Affect Annual Inspection?

As long as the tire size remains unchanged, changing the color of the wheel hubs or replacing them with other wheels is legal. The annual inspection includes the following 4 items: 1. Check the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories: Inspect whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean and complete, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, and other safety features meet requirements: Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Check whether the vehicle has been modified and whether approval procedures have been completed: Examine whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations, whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed; 4. Check for damage to the license plate and driving license: Inspect whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, whether the writing is unclear due to alterations, and whether replacement is needed.
