Passat's air conditioning cooling method: You can press the auto button or the AC button. When the light turns on, it indicates that the air conditioning has been activated. You can then use the temperature adjustment rotary knob to set the desired temperature. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in the vehicle, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and enhancing driving safety. The Passat's body dimensions are 4933mm in length, 1836mm in width, 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm.

I've been driving my Passat for five or six years, and using the AC is actually super simple. Don't rush to turn on the AC right after starting the car—wait until the engine RPM stabilizes before pressing the AC button, the one with the snowflake symbol on the center console. Turn the temperature knob all the way to the left, and if it doesn’t feel cool enough, crank up the fan speed. Remember to press the recirculation button to light it up—this cools the cabin faster and saves fuel. If the windshield fogs up on the highway, switch the airflow mode to the windshield defroster icon, and the fog will clear quickly. For female drivers with long nails, it’s more convenient to adjust the temperature directly by tapping the CLIMA menu on the screen. Oh, and it’s best to blow out the dust from the cabin air filter every season—otherwise, the vents will have a musty smell.

Is It Normal for New Car Wheels to Have Balancing Lead Weights?

It is normal for new car wheels to have lead weights. These weights are added by the manufacturer during production when the tire's dynamic balance is found to be unstable. For the tire and rim assembly, the mass cannot be perfectly evenly distributed, so when the wheel rotates, it tends to vibrate relative to the rotational axis. The added lead weights are made of lead alloy, measured in grams, such as 5g, 10g, 15g, etc. Each balancing weight has a steel hook that can be clipped onto the edge of the wheel rim. Tire dynamic balance testing method: Tires should undergo regular dynamic balance checks using a dynamic balance testing machine. Tire balance is divided into dynamic balance and static balance. Dynamic imbalance can cause the wheel to wobble, leading to wave-like wear on the tire, while static imbalance can cause bouncing and hopping, often resulting in flat spots on the tire. Purpose of tire dynamic balancing: Dynamic balancing involves the tire and rim assembly, while wheel alignment involves the entire suspension system. These are different components, so regular balance checks not only extend tire life but also improve driving stability, preventing accidents caused by tire wobbling or hopping at high speeds, which could lead to loss of control.

What are the pros and cons of the autohold function?

Autohold is a function derived from the semi-automatic transmission and ESP electronic control system, which holds the car when it is most needed. The system also has a hill start assist function. When this function is turned on, the car will brake when stopped, helping the driver to drive easily and safely. If the auto-hold function remains on when reversing, it means that the vehicle cannot be controlled to move slowly by lifting the brake, and an accident may occur if the throttle is not controlled properly. The following is extended information about autohold: 1. Introduction: The automatic parking system (AUTOHOLD) is a technical application that can realize automatic handbrake during car operation. This technology allows the driver to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle stops, and to avoid unnecessary sliding of the vehicle when the automatic electronic parking brake is activated. 2. Operation method: The seat belt must be fastened before driving, otherwise it cannot be used. In the city, when waiting for a red light, in traffic jams, or on a bridge, after the car stops, the foot can be lifted after firmly stepping on the brake, so that the car will not roll or lurch forward, and then stepping on the accelerator directly will allow normal driving.

How to Tell When You're Running Low on Fuel from the Fuel Gauge?

Here is the relevant information:1. The letter E on the fuel gauge: The method to check if the car is running low on fuel is: For analog fuel gauges, there is a letter E on the left side of the gauge. The closer the needle is to the letter E, the less fuel remains. For digital fuel gauges, fuel levels are indicated by illuminated segments. One remaining segment or no illuminated segments indicates that the fuel level is too low. Generally, when the fuel light comes on, you should refuel promptly to avoid running out of fuel and affecting normal driving.2. Disadvantages of low fuel levels: If the fuel level is too low, the fuel pump lacks lubrication, which can lead to damage or a shortened lifespan.3. Estimating fuel consumption based on the fuel gauge: Car owners can decide whether to refuel based on the remaining fuel amount displayed by the fuel gauge. If refueling is needed, the fuel gauge can also accurately display the amount of fuel added each time. The fuel gauge is not just a scale; it can also more precisely display the car's fuel consumption per kilometer and overall fuel consumption, indicating whether fuel is being used efficiently. The fuel gauge also reminds the owner of the remaining fuel and the estimated driving range.

Can small chips on the windshield caused by stones be claimed through insurance?

Vehicle insurance, also known as auto insurance, refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. For small chips on the windshield caused by stones, the insurance company will only compensate if the owner has purchased standalone glass breakage coverage. If only vehicle damage insurance is purchased, the loss must be borne by the owner. The following are the main types of auto insurance: Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance; Third-Party Liability Insurance; Vehicle Damage Insurance; Theft Insurance. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (Mandatory by Law): This is a compulsory liability insurance stipulated by the "Regulations on Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles." It provides compensation by the insurance company for personal injury or property damage to victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Motor vehicles that do not participate in the Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance cannot be registered by the motor vehicle administration department, nor can they be inspected by motor vehicle safety inspection agencies. Third-Party Liability Insurance (Main Coverage): This covers the direct property loss and personal injury to a third party caused by an accident involving the insured vehicle while being used by a qualified driver. The insurer is responsible for compensating the economic liability that the insured is legally obligated to bear. Vehicle Damage Insurance (Main Coverage): This covers the loss of the insured vehicle itself caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability. The insurer compensates according to the terms of the insurance contract. This coverage is the opposite of third-party liability insurance, as the latter insures others, while vehicle damage insurance covers the insured's own vehicle. Theft Insurance (Main Coverage): If the vehicle is usually parked in a secure parking lot and the commute does not involve particularly secluded areas, one might consider not purchasing theft insurance. However, for vehicles in areas with poor security, without fixed parking spaces, or for models that are common and have high theft rates, theft insurance is highly recommended.

How to Deal with Whitening of Black Plastic Parts in Cars?

Dashboard wax is generally used for polishing the dashboard or plastic parts, so it is both time-saving and labor-saving for whitening plastic parts. Generally, genuine leather polish can also have a good effect on plastic parts, just like dashboard wax, but it only serves to cover up the issue.
