I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years, and the folding mirrors feature is quite simple yet practical. Usually located on the inner side of the driver's door, look for the round rotary knob with a mirror icon. Turn it to the designated folding position, and the mirrors will automatically retract. Folding them saves space when parking in the city, avoiding potential scrapes, and also protects the mirror lenses during car washes. If the knob doesn't respond, it might be due to low battery or a fuse issue—just restart the vehicle or check the circuit. I've found that regularly testing this function helps prolong the car's durability, especially ensuring smooth operation before cold winters to prevent freezing. Here's a handy tip: folding the mirrors in tight parking spots can free up a few extra centimeters, making entry and exit easier. Overall, it's an intuitive feature that’s easy to master.

What is the normal mode of a vehicle?

Vehicle normal mode is the standard mode, which is the ordinary mode when the vehicle is driving. For example, automatic transmissions are designed with different shift logics in the electronic control unit to meet the driving requirements of different people and adapt to different road conditions. A mode selection switch is also designed on the control panel, allowing the driver to independently choose the transmission control mode. Common automatic transmission control modes include: 1. Economy mode; 2. Power mode; 3. Standard mode; 4. Snow mode. Among them, the shift pattern of the standard mode is between the economy mode and the power mode, balancing both power and economy, ensuring the vehicle maintains a certain level of performance.

What does car ion mean?

Car ion refers to the negative ion purification function in vehicles. After pressing this button, the negative ion generator inside the car will release negative ions, which helps purify the air inside the car. This function is beneficial for the health of the passengers, and many cars are equipped with this feature. Particles in the air can absorb negative ions, causing them to settle down, making the principle of this purification function relatively simple. The car air conditioning is an important comfort feature in vehicles, used almost daily during winter and summer. The car air conditioning can both cool and heat the air.

What Are the Functions of a Car Shark Fin?

The functions of a car shark fin are: 1. Utilizing the electronic tip feature to direct static electricity to the tail tip of the shark fin antenna for release, thereby reducing static electricity on the car surface; 2. It can simultaneously support multiple functions such as FM, GPS, and GSM; 3. Enhancing the car's signal, intercepting transmission waves, and releasing static electricity; 4. Overcoming the resistance generated during car driving and reducing fuel consumption. The car shark fin is essentially the antenna on the car. During each car wash, care should be taken not to excessively clean the shark fin. Although waterproof adhesive is used for the shark fin, excessive cleaning can easily damage it and may also lead to poor signal reception. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect the base of the shark fin and clean it periodically.

What is the Auto Start-Stop Function in Cars?

Auto Start-Stop Function refers to the engine's automatic start-stop system. It automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. The Auto Start-Stop Function, abbreviated as STT, is an intelligent fuel-saving system that controls the engine's start and stop operations. How to use the Auto Start-Stop Function: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and release the clutch to automatically shut off the engine. Pressing the clutch again will automatically restart the engine. 2. On steep slopes, it is advisable to avoid using the auto start-stop feature as brief auto start-stop cycles may lead to insufficient brake assistance.

What does TC mean when displayed on the car screen?

When TC is displayed on the car screen, it means the Traction Control system is turned off or malfunctioning. The Traction Control system enhances the vehicle's passability. When the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) detects wheel slippage, it applies braking to the slipping wheel to prevent loss of traction, thereby improving the vehicle's acceleration and climbing ability. The Traction Control system is also known as the Track Control System. When braking on slippery surfaces, wheels may slip, potentially causing loss of directional control. Similarly, during startup or rapid acceleration, drive wheels may slip, leading to dangerous loss of control on icy or other slippery surfaces. The Traction Control system is specifically designed to address these issues.

Do cars still need to display annual inspection stickers?

Currently, cars still need to display annual inspection stickers. The inspection compliance sticker must be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Additionally, vehicles must undergo inspections as required by regulations. Annual vehicle inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage proper maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Vehicle inspections are mandatory for all vehicles with official license plates and registration certificates, meaning an annual 'health check' based on the safety technical requirements for motor vehicle operation. Annual inspections are divided into initial inspections and regular inspections. Initial inspection items include verifying the presence of the vehicle user manual, certificate of conformity, and completeness of factory markings on the vehicle body. Regular inspection items include checking the cleanliness, completeness, and functionality of the engine, chassis, body, and related equipment, ensuring uniform and aesthetically pleasing paintwork, and verifying whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records.
