Automobile tire specifications can be identified through the markings on the sidewall. Below is a detailed introduction to tire parameters: 1. The 3T Index of tires refers to the Treadwear Index, Traction Index, and Temperature Index. 2. Treadwear-220 indicates the tire's treadwear index is 220. Generally, a treadwear index between 280-320 is considered moderate. The higher the number, the more wear-resistant the tire. More wear-resistant tires tend to be harder, noisier, and less comfortable. 3. Traction-A indicates the traction index is Grade A, which proves strong grip. 4. Temperature-A indicates the tire's temperature grade is A, the highest level, meaning the tire has the best structural stability at high speeds. 5. The structural parameters of heavy tires mainly refer to the number of steel belt layers, cord layers, and nylon layers in the tread and sidewall. More layers indicate higher tire strength and lower probability of blowouts or punctures.

Where is the coolant reservoir located in a Volkswagen Polo?

The coolant reservoir in a Volkswagen Polo is situated in the engine compartment near the right front headlight. To refill it, simply unscrew the cap and add coolant. Regularly check that the fluid level is between the MAX and MIN marks. If you notice the coolant level is significantly low or depleting rapidly, it may indicate a leak in the cooling system, requiring professional inspection at a repair shop. Always add coolant when the engine is cold to prevent potential engine damage. The Volkswagen Polo, often referred to as the 'German marvel' by Volkswagen, has body dimensions of 3970mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1462mm in height.

What is the normal position for coolant?

Coolant is at a normal level when it is between the MAX and MIN marks, which can be checked at the coolant reservoir filler neck. If the coolant is low and you need to add more, ensure it is filled to the middle between the MAX and MIN marks. Do not mix coolant with tap water, as water has a lower freezing point and contains impurities that can form scale, leading to blockages and reduced cooling system efficiency. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, a specialized cooling fluid containing additives. Most coolants are primarily composed of ethylene glycol, which has a high boiling point and low freezing point, ensuring the vehicle operates normally in cold climates without freezing and helps cool the engine during high temperatures. It is an essential automotive product.

What are the automatic transmission gears?

Automatic transmission gears include: 1. P (Park) gear, used for long-term parking of the vehicle; 2. R (Reverse) gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N (Neutral) gear, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. D (Drive) gear, when the gear lever is placed in D, the vehicle will automatically shift gears based on throttle opening and speed data; 5. S (Sport) mode, making the vehicle drive more sportily; 6. M (Manual) mode, when the gear lever is in M, gear shifting is done manually by the driver; 7. L (Low) gear, used for low-speed driving.
