Judging distance through rearview mirrors is as follows: 1. Rear vehicle: When the rear vehicle's body has entered the danger zone to the left of the dotted line in the rearview mirror, it indicates that the rear vehicle is very close to your car, almost within 5 meters, and turning at this time is not allowed; when the left side of the rear vehicle's body is close to the boundary between the safety zone and the danger zone, we should be vigilant, but turning with the signal light on is still safe at this time. 2. Blind spot: Since the driver is located on the left side of the vehicle, the situation in the right lane is relatively more difficult to grasp than the left, and the blind spot of the left exterior rearview mirror is larger than the right. Therefore, when judging the distance of the rear vehicle, we need to be more cautious. 3. Distance: The position of the rear vehicle's image in the rearview mirror can generally indicate the distance between the rear vehicle and your car. Similar to visually measuring the distance of the front vehicle, the standards for judging the distance of the rear vehicle vary for different car models, and the owner needs to determine it based on the actual situation of their vehicle.

What Are the Benefits of Using High-Octane Gasoline?

Using high-octane gasoline does not offer any special benefits. If you switch from low-octane gasoline to high-octane gasoline, it may not only fail to provide advantages but could also cause harm. Using high-octane gasoline in an engine designed for low-octane fuel may lead to incomplete combustion, sluggish acceleration, and delayed ignition due to insufficient compression ratio. More details are as follows: 1. Higher gasoline octane ratings are not necessarily better. The octane rating refers to the fuel's anti-knock properties—the higher the octane, the better its resistance to knocking. 2. The key factor in gasoline usage is compatibility between the engine and the fuel. Manufacturers preset parameters such as compression ratio and ignition timing in the engine control unit. 3. The appropriate gasoline octane rating for a vehicle should strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The owner's manual clearly specifies the correct octane rating. As long as the owner adheres to the manual's requirements when selecting gasoline, there will be no issues.

Does the Volkswagen Lavida consume engine oil?

Volkswagen Lavida does not consume engine oil. Engine oil consumption and burning engine oil are two different concepts: 1. Engine oil consumption refers to the inevitable phenomenon where some of the oil that lubricates the engine pistons during their operation in the cylinders remains on the walls of the combustion chamber and gets burned. As driving time increases, the amount of oil will decrease accordingly, which is a normal occurrence of oil consumption. 2. Burning engine oil means that the oil enters the engine's combustion chamber and participates in combustion along with the air-fuel mixture. To determine whether the engine is burning oil, you can check if blue smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe, observe if the car lacks power during acceleration, or use the oil dipstick to measure the oil level. As long as the oil level remains between the highest and lowest marks between two maintenance intervals, it is considered normal.
