I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for almost five years now, and I often reset the Trip mileage, mainly to track fuel consumption or the distance of weekend trips. The steps are super simple: First, start the car, but make sure it's parked to avoid distractions. Look for a TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel or on the dashboard, press it lightly, and a menu showing the trip mileage will appear on the screen. Then, turn the nearby knob or press the button again to select the reset option. The system will prompt you to confirm, just hit OK and you're done. The whole process takes about ten seconds—just be careful not to press other settings by mistake to avoid messing up other functions. I recommend resetting it after each maintenance to monitor driving habits and check the performance of the battery or tires to extend their lifespan. Remember, the total mileage can't be reset—it's legally required data, so you can only view it, not tamper with it.

Can Off-Road Vehicles with Additional Fuel Tanks Pass Annual Inspection?

Off-road vehicles with additional fuel tanks cannot pass the annual inspection. The installation of an auxiliary fuel tank on a motor vehicle constitutes an alteration of the vehicle's original specifications, which does not comply with the safety conditions for motor vehicle operation. Vehicles equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks must have them removed and the original fuel system restored before they can undergo the annual inspection. Legal vehicle modifications include the following: 1. Replacing wheels of the same size: Wheels can be replaced without changing the vehicle's length, width, or main structure, but the wheel size must match the original factory specifications and must not protrude beyond the fenders. 2. Changing the vehicle's color: National laws allow individuals to change the color of their vehicles. However, if the color change covers more than 30% of the vehicle's surface, the owner must visit the vehicle management office within 10 days to take new photos and apply for the change. The color cannot be changed to official service colors (such as those used by police cars, fire trucks, or ambulances), nor can it be changed to mirror-reflective or "chameleon" colors. 3. Installing roof racks: The installed roof rack must not alter the vehicle's length, width, or main structure. Additionally, the height of the rack must not exceed 30 cm, and it must be securely fastened. 4. Adding side steps: Side steps can be installed, but they must not change the vehicle's length, width, or main structure. 5. Replacing the grille or bumper: Vehicles are allowed to replace the grille or bumper without changing the vehicle's length or width. 6. Modifying the interior: Interior modifications are more lenient compared to exterior changes. Examples include installing carbon fiber panels, a suede steering wheel, upgrading the audio system, or adding leather seats. 7. Modifying headlights: As long as the color is not changed, the color temperature is below 6000K, and the headlights are equipped with bi-xenon lenses without glare issues that could affect oncoming drivers, such modifications are legal and will pass the annual inspection. 8. Upgrading the braking system: This includes replacing performance brake pads, discs, or even calipers. Upgrading the braking system within reasonable limits not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also significantly reduces braking distance and improves pedal feel.

Does leaving a car unused for a month affect the battery?

Leaving a car unused for a month does affect the battery. The car battery charges while the vehicle is running, so if the car remains stationary for a month, the battery may suffer damage and could potentially discharge. Below are specific details about the effects of prolonged car inactivity: 1. Engine and Transmission: Extended parking can cause engine oil to deteriorate or even solidify, leading to reduced lubrication and increased wear. Various coolants may also deteriorate, naturally causing damage to the engine under such conditions. 2. Braking System: When parked, the handbrake is typically engaged, keeping the handbrake cable in a tense state, which shortens its lifespan. This is especially a threat if the car is not parked on level ground. 3. Electronic Components and Rubber: Prolonged parking can cause electronic components to become damp, and rubber parts may age faster due to exposure to wind and rain, affecting the vehicle's waterproofing and sound insulation functions.

What is the standard for engine oil consumption in cars?

The national regulatory standard is 0.3 liters per thousand kilometers. Here are the reasons for excessive oil consumption: 1. Piston ring wear or damage, misaligned or incorrectly installed piston rings: When piston rings wear out, their elasticity weakens, reducing the pressure on the cylinder walls and diminishing their oil-scraping effect. Additionally, wear between the piston rings and ring grooves increases side and back clearances, leading to more oil leakage. This is especially true when the oil ring is damaged, causing oil leakage to multiply. Moreover, misaligned or incorrectly installed piston rings create a pathway for oil splashed onto the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber, significantly increasing oil consumption. 2. Excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall: When the clearance between the piston and cylinder wall is too large or the cylinder becomes tapered or oval, the piston rings, piston, and cylinder wall cannot fit tightly. This allows splashed oil to leak into the combustion chamber and burn, drastically increasing oil consumption. 3. Use of low-viscosity oil: Low-viscosity oil is more prone to leakage and forms thinner oil films, making it easier to burn. Additionally, low-viscosity oil has a higher evaporation rate. 4. High engine speed: The higher the engine speed, the greater the centrifugal force on the crankshaft and connecting rods, causing more oil to be splashed onto the cylinder walls. The oil ring may not have enough time to scrape off this oil, leading to more oil entering the combustion chamber and burning. Furthermore, increased oil circulation raises the temperature of the oil in the oil pan, thinning the oil. Additionally, more atomized oil is carried out through the crankcase ventilation port. As a result, oil consumption increases.

Can ETC cards be recharged via WeChat?

ETC cards can be recharged via WeChat. To recharge ETC via WeChat, the mobile phone needs to support NFC or use an official Bluetooth card reader for recharging; after entering WeChat, select [Me] - [Payment] - [City Services]; under [Highway Services], choose the [Highway ETC] option; click [ETC Recharge] and follow the prompts to complete the payment and other operations. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the vehicle in front from having a faulty ETC device or no ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also result in a failed fee deduction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not man-made, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also result in a failed fee deduction. Follow the guidance of the on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card for passage. Poor sensing due to excessively thick car windshield. Especially vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after an accident or vehicles with modified front windshields need to be careful.
