Here is the method for removing a Volkswagen steering wheel: 1. Straighten the car's steering wheel, use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the lock on the left-side disassembly hole of the steering wheel—just a gentle pry is needed. Then, use the flathead screwdriver to locate the disassembly hole for the main airbag on the right side of the steering wheel, insert it, and pry open the lock. 2. Find the disassembly hole for the main airbag at the bottom of the steering wheel, insert the screwdriver to pry open the lock, then gently lift the wire harness fastener to remove it. 3. Remove the horn grounding wire inside the steering wheel, being careful not to damage the horn. Use the flathead screwdriver to pry open the yellow locks on both sides of the steering wheel connector, then disconnect the connector—avoid using excessive force. 4. At this point, the backside of the driver's airbag will be visible. Use the flathead screwdriver to push open the unlocking latch of the driver's airbag, completing the removal of the main airbag.

What does the yellow exclamation mark mean?

There are four situations when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting fault. The following is a detailed analysis of the four situations: General fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the general performance or components and functions of the car. Main faults include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the tire pressure of the car is too low, this warning light will come on. It is necessary to check the tire pressure of the car and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating that a car light has failed. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on checking commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem is. There is also a red exclamation mark with a bracket and a circle in the middle. This represents a warning of the braking system, mainly including braking system failure and low brake fluid level. The braking system needs to be repaired immediately to avoid accidents.

Is it necessary to go to the 4S store where the car was purchased for maintenance?

It is not necessary to go to the 4S store where the car was purchased for maintenance. Any 4S store nationwide that matches the car's brand and model can perform the service. Typically, a car's warranty policy lasts for 2 years or 60,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), with some models having slightly longer warranty periods, but generally not exceeding 5 years or 100,000 kilometers. Here is some information about car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance, also known as car servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. 2. Car maintenance mainly includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc. The purpose is to keep the car clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, and extend the service life.

How to Turn on the Low Beam of Honda City?

Honda City low beam activation method: The high/low beam switch is controlled by the turn signal lever. Moving the lever left/right activates turn signals, while moving it up/down switches between high and low beams. Typically, pushing down activates high beams, and pulling up turns on low beams. The low beam is used for short-range illumination with a limited range of 30-40 meters, and its focus cannot be adjusted. The Honda City measures 4450mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1477mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. Its engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 131ps and peak torque of 155nm.

How to Distinguish Between Dry and Wet Dual Clutches?

Dry and wet dual clutches are two different types of dual clutches. The method to distinguish between dry and wet dual clutches is as follows: The primary way to differentiate them is by checking whether the clutch friction plates contain lubricating oil. If the clutch friction plates are immersed in lubricating oil, it is called a wet type; otherwise, it is called a dry type. The advantages and disadvantages of dual clutch friction plates are introduced below: 1. The friction plates of a wet dual-clutch transmission are submerged in transmission oil, which provides cooling and lubrication, allowing it to withstand greater loads. However, because more space is required to store the transmission oil and related control mechanisms, the wet dual-clutch friction plates are larger in size and more complex in structure, which can reduce the efficiency of power transmission. 2. On the other hand, the dry dual-clutch transmission omits these components, making its structure simpler and its transmission efficiency higher. However, the drawback is that the lack of transmission oil cooling for the clutch friction plates makes them prone to overheating and burning, thus limiting the maximum torque they can transmit.
