The method for removing the interior rearview mirror of a Focus: 1. Remove the mirror glass, which is relatively simple. Adjust the mirror to its maximum angle and pull it off by hand, being careful not to force it from one side. After removing the mirror glass, disconnect the two plugs. Adjust the positions of the internal clips to the left state, then carefully open the back cover with a pry tool. After removing the cover, unscrew the four screws at the back and disconnect all visible plugs. Note that many have clips and should not be forced. 2. Separate the pivot and mounting post. The main method is to insert the pry tool according to the position, then hold the ground light position of the mirror with both hands, lift it upward, and slowly rotate the mirror toward the front of the car. When the mirror passes a locking position, it can be separated. This requires some trial and error to find the correct locking position. After removal, you will find a screw, which should be removed. Then, remove the ground light and its plug. Finally, pull all the wires out through the hole in the center of the pivot, starting with the thinner plugs. After removing the lower shell, the mirror can be taken off.

What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Polo 1.6 automatic?

According to official data, the POLO 1.5L model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds. Factors affecting the vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The Vios FS has a maximum torque of 138 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.2 seconds. The POLO 1.5L has a torque of 145 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power transfer and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The POLO 1.5L is equipped with a manual-automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Vios FS has a power-to-weight ratio of 99 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.3 seconds. The POLO 1.5L has a power-to-weight ratio of 99 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds.

Why Do 4S Stores Charge License Plate Fees?

4S stores charge license plate fees because the commission earned from selling a car is limited. Below is an introduction to vehicle license plates: 1. Introduction: A license plate, commonly known as a vehicle plate, is a board made of materials such as aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper, which is mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle. It displays the vehicle's registration number, registration region, and other relevant information. 2. Function: License plates serve to number and register vehicle information. Their primary purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details through the plate. 3. Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates are issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau when a car has not yet been officially registered due to pending procedures. The use of temporary plates is subject to time and regional restrictions.

What are the effects of high throttle absolute position?

The hazards of high throttle absolute position are as follows: 1. The engine's air intake and load are controlled by the throttle, which in turn affects the engine's fuel injection and ignition, potentially triggering the malfunction indicator light; 2. It may cause metallic knocking noises and could leave marks on components such as rocker arms and valve stems, resulting in persistent noise issues; 3. It reduces intake and exhaust volumes, affecting the engine's power and other performance characteristics. Additional information: The throttle absolute position is the ratio of the throttle position sensor's output voltage to its reference voltage. For example, if the throttle position sensor's reference voltage is 5V and its output voltage range is 0-5V, then at a certain throttle position where the sensor outputs 2.5V, the throttle absolute position would be 2.5V/5V=50%. It's important to note that when the throttle is fully closed, the sensor voltage is not 0V but another value (e.g., 1V), making the throttle absolute position at fully closed 1V/5V=20%, meaning the throttle absolute position is not 0% when fully closed. Similarly, when the throttle is fully open, its absolute position is not 100%.

Why Doesn't Audi Have Rear-Wheel Drive Cars?

Audi has been developed for so many years, and its parent company Volkswagen has become the world's largest automotive group, with brands like Bentley and Porsche under its umbrella that have rear-wheel drive cars. Audi has no shortage of resources, experience, or money to make rear-wheel drive cars, so the reason Audi doesn't produce them is not because it can't, but because it doesn't want to. Here is an introduction to front-engine, rear-wheel drive cars: 1. Front-engine, rear-wheel drive (FR): This is a common term for the drivetrain layout of a car, where the rear wheels are driven (Front-engine, Rear-drive, abbreviated as FR), which is one of the most traditional drivetrain forms. 2. Technical characteristics: When starting, accelerating, or climbing on well-paved roads, the load on the drive wheels increases (i.e., the adhesion pressure on the drive wheels increases), and its traction performance is superior to that of front-engine, front-wheel drive layouts; the steering wheels are non-driven wheels, making the steering mechanism simpler and easier to maintain.

Why Do 4S Stores Charge a 10,000 Yuan License Plate Deposit?

4S stores charge a license plate deposit to prevent cross-regional sales. This deposit will be refunded to the consumer after the vehicle is registered. Below is an introduction to vehicle license plates: 1. Introduction: A license plate, commonly known as a car plate, is a panel hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. It is typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and displays the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. Function: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and allow authorities to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details. 3. Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates are issued by vehicle management authorities when a car has not yet been officially registered due to pending procedures. Temporary plates have time and regional restrictions.

What Does Fuel-Efficient Driving Mode Mean?

Fuel-efficient mode, also known as ECO mode, achieves energy-saving effects when activated. The name ECO is derived from the combination of Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization, embodying the fundamental design and development philosophy centered on technology, environmental protection, and economy. These three attributes have become the enduring pursuit of quality for the ECO intelligent engine family series. Additional Information: Generally, a car's ECO mode is divided into active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. The primary difference lies in the intelligent control applicable to power distribution (including fuel, electricity, etc.) and reminder guidance. Passive ECO mode lacks a dedicated button and functions as a reminder feature. When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h, the system intelligently evaluates current fuel consumption to achieve optimal fuel supply, with the dashboard simultaneously displaying a green ECO indicator. However, if the driver aggressively depresses the accelerator pedal for rapid acceleration or encounters uphill driving conditions, the ECO indicator will disappear.
