To display the digital speed in Lavida, follow these steps: 1. Open the driver's door and press the brake pedal to prepare for engine start. 2. Press the one-touch start button and wait until all instrument panel lights illuminate, indicating the engine has started. 3. Press and hold the button at the top of the right steering wheel lever for more than 5 seconds, and the digital speed will appear on the instrument panel. Taking the Lavida 2013 Classic 1.6L Manual Fashion Edition as an example: This vehicle is manufactured by SAIC Volkswagen, classified as a compact car with gasoline energy type, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body. The dimensions are 4608mm in length, 1743mm in width, and 1465mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. It adopts front-wheel drive, mechanical hydraulic power steering, a unibody structure, and a handbrake parking system.

After driving my Lavida for three years, I finally discovered this hidden feature! Actually, the button on the right side of the steering wheel with the square symbol (called the VIEW button) can cycle through the instrument cluster display modes when pressed repeatedly. When switched to the digital speedometer interface, that large white number will pop up directly. Remember to press the OK button first to confirm the current mode - it's super convenient to check real-time speed while driving. For older Lavida models with mechanical instrument clusters, you can long-press the button on top of the wiper stalk to access the engineering menu and find this function, but be sure to pay attention to driving safety.

How to Switch Between D and S Gears?

D is the normal forward gear of the car, and S gear is the sport mode of the car. You can switch between D and S gears at any time. Here are the specific details: 1. D (Drive) is the forward gear, also known as the driving gear. In D gear, the car's transmission will be equivalent to gears 1 to 4, and it will automatically switch based on the vehicle's speed and throttle conditions. Most car owners generally use D gear for driving on ordinary roads. However, due to different designs of car models in various countries, the 'D' gear usually includes gears from 1 to high gear or 2 to high gear, and it will automatically shift based on changes in speed and load. By moving the lever to the 'D' position, the driver only needs to control the speed by mastering the accelerator pedal. 2. S stands for sport mode. In this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing will be delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time to increase the vehicle's power. Of course, this will result in increased fuel consumption. Normally, D gear is used, and S gear is used when you want to experience instant acceleration and other sporty feelings. You can switch directly between them.

Are Joint Venture Cars Considered Domestic Cars?

Joint venture cars are not considered domestic cars. Domestic cars refer to vehicles designed by Chinese people, manufactured by Chinese people, with independent intellectual property rights and Chinese brands. On the other hand, joint venture cars are projects jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. However, the core technologies are still controlled by foreign parties. Below is additional information: 1. Joint venture cars are expensive due to intellectual property issues. The cooperation dependence established by foreign automobile manufacturers is very low. What Chinese manufacturers learn from foreign automobile manufacturers is mostly assembly technology, corporate culture, internal management, etc. However, the core technologies of automobile engines and transmissions that truly need to be understood are often imported from abroad. The technologies sold to China are generally 10 to 20 years behind. 2. Taking ABS as an example, European and American automobile manufacturers were already developing and applying it in the late 1970s and vigorously promoted it in the market in the 1980s. The first Chinese model to use ABS was the Santana 2000. Because of this, the core technologies are in the hands of foreign companies, and the high cost of purchasing these technologies or finished products results in the higher price of joint venture cars.

What Causes Engine Shaking at Idle?

Engine shaking at idle is usually caused by issues with components such as the ignition system, fuel pressure, throttle body, or fuel injectors. Below are specific causes and solutions: 1. Dirty throttle body or fuel injectors: This is the most common cause of engine shaking at idle. Excessive carbon buildup can prevent fuel from properly entering the cylinders, as most of it gets absorbed by the deposits. This leads to an overly lean air-fuel mixture, making the car difficult to start. After starting, the fuel absorbed by the carbon deposits burns off, causing the mixture to become too rich. This unstable air-fuel mixture results in engine shaking at idle. Solution: Clean the throttle body and remove engine carbon deposits promptly. 2. Ignition system: Key components to inspect include spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Special attention should be paid to spark plugs—if they are heavily fouled with carbon deposits, replacement is recommended. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: For this issue, it's advisable to visit a 4S shop for diagnosis, as specialized computer equipment is required for analysis. Items to check include fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Solution: Inspect fuel pressure and replace any damaged components if necessary.

What are the symptoms of a faulty VVT pulley?

When the engine's VVT pulley is faulty, the symptoms include: unusual noises, unstable idle speed, poor acceleration, significantly increased fuel consumption, and potential damage to the engine. It is recommended to repair it immediately and avoid driving. Below is some related information about VVT (Variable Valve Timing) technology: 1. VVT technology refers to adjusting the timing of the intake valve's opening and closing under specific conditions to regulate the intake and exhaust volume and the size of the valve overlap angle. This improves the intake impulse and efficiency, thereby enhancing engine power and torque. 2. The VVT technology commonly used in domestic applications is mostly a hydraulically-driven VVT system. Its key components include the phaser, engine oil control valve, actuator, and regulator.
