Taking Volkswagen as an example, the method to reset the tire pressure monitoring light is as follows: Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the SET button of the tire inflation pressure control system (the tire monitoring button is the black button located on the front panel near the gear lever) until the dashboard indicator light comes on. After confirming that the new tire parameters are stored and the light goes off, the tire pressure reset is complete. Here are the specific reasons why the tire pressure monitoring indicator light may come on: 1. Punctured tire: Use a tire pressure gauge to measure. The normal values are 2.3 for the front tires and 2.5 for the rear tires. If the tire is underinflated, inflate it to the proper level and then observe the tire pressure warning light. 2. Overinflated tire: The standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires should be 2.8-2.9 bar. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, if any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it will trigger the tire pressure monitoring light. 3. Driving with low tire pressure for too long: This usually occurs when a tire is underinflated, causing the tire temperature to rise during high-speed driving, which in turn increases the tire pressure. In such cases, you should stop and rest or replace the tire with a spare. 4. Tire pressure drops due to prolonged lack of inflation: When the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, the tire pressure monitoring light will come on. Regular checks should be performed to ensure the tire pressure monitor is functioning properly. If the tire pressure monitor does not alert you in time when an issue arises, it may indicate a problem with the monitor itself.

Will points be deducted for a one-month overdue vehicle inspection?

If a vehicle's inspection is overdue by one month but the vehicle is not driven on the road, no points will be deducted. However, if the vehicle is driven on the road after the inspection is overdue, the traffic management department of the public security authority may impound the vehicle, issue a warning or impose a fine, and deduct 3 points from the driver's license. Below is an introduction to vehicle annual inspection requirements: 1. Passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 5 years; every 6 months after exceeding 5 years; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 10 years; every 6 months after exceeding 10 years; 3. Small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once a year after exceeding 6 years; every 6 months after exceeding 15 years; 4. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; once a year after exceeding 4 years; 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. If a commercial vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period, it does not need to undergo another safety technical inspection; 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age limit: Cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first apply for a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's records) at the vehicle management office before proceeding with the transaction.

Should I Refer to A or B for Fuel Consumption?

A and B refer to recording two sets of mileage data. For example, use Meter A to track how many kilometers a full tank of fuel can cover, resetting Meter A after refueling, while Meter B can be used to record the round-trip mileage of a road trip. Below are specific details about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel Consumption Testing: There are various methods for testing fuel consumption, which can be broadly categorized into two types: direct measurement and indirect measurement. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology adopts the indirect measurement method. For light-duty vehicles (those with a maximum total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons), the entire vehicle is placed on a test bench to simulate actual road speeds and loads. The vehicle operates under specific conditions (such as idling, acceleration, constant speed, deceleration, etc.), and emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons are measured. Fuel consumption is then calculated using the carbon balance method. 2. Combined Fuel Consumption: During testing, the vehicle operates under various conditions, including idling, deceleration, gear shifting, acceleration, and constant speed. In urban driving conditions, the average speed is only 19 km/h, with a significant amount of time spent idling. In suburban conditions, the average speed exceeds 60 km/h, with more time spent at constant speeds. Combined fuel consumption is calculated by dividing the total emissions from both urban and suburban driving cycles by the total distance covered in these cycles, then using the emissions data to derive the corresponding fuel consumption value.

What is the best engine oil for Honda Fit?

The Honda Fit originally uses green-can SN-0W-20 grade engine oil. For the new Fit, the original green-can oil is sufficient, while the original blue-can oil offers better cost-performance and can also be used. It is not recommended to use gold-can or purple-can oils as their higher viscosity is unsuitable for the Fit's 1.5L engine. Of course, car owners can choose oil brands based on their preferences. Features of the third-generation Fit: 1. Space: The third-generation Fit applies the MM concept from FUNTEC technology, achieving interior space comparable to higher-class vehicles in a compact hatchback size, providing excellent rear-seat comfort. 2. Power: The new 1.5L direct-injection DOHC i-VTEC engine delivers a maximum power of 96kW/6600rpm and a maximum torque of 155N·m/4600rpm, leading its class in performance. Paired with the new CVT transmission, the third-generation Fit achieves the lowest fuel consumption in its class at just 5.3L per 100km. 3. Chassis: The third-generation Fit features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension with a new geometric shape and a high-rigidity rear torsion beam semi-independent suspension, both equipped with stabilizer bars for excellent response and handling stability.

Why is the reversing radar of the Tiida not making any sound?

Inappropriate or damaged wiring connection; low sensitivity and slow response; there is a blind spot on the far left and far right sides of the reversing radar, which cannot detect obstacles when they are about to come into contact. Below is an introduction to the Tiida: 1. Exterior: From the side view, the Tiida features soft lines. The hatchback design without a tail appears refined, with smooth lines at the rear. The triangular window next to the C-pillar is trapezoidal in shape, creating a downward tapering effect that gives the rear a visually lowered appearance, making the car body look more stable. 2. Body dimensions: The Tiida has a wheelbase of 2700mm, with a length/width/height of 4205mm/1695mm/1540mm. While not particularly large among its peers, the front seat headroom reaches 960mm, and the rear space, though slightly smaller, still reaches 940mm. 3. Powertrain: The Tiida is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder engine featuring a DOHC double overhead camshaft structure combined with CVTC (Continuous Variable Valve Timing Control) technology. It can control the camshaft phase of intake and exhaust based on the vehicle's driving state to ensure optimal ignition timing, thereby significantly improving output torque and fuel economy.

Will not wearing a seatbelt at a traffic light be photographed?

If you pass through an intersection or wait at a traffic light without wearing a seatbelt, you may be captured on camera. Below is relevant information about seatbelts: 1. Introduction: A seatbelt is a safety device used in equipment, such as aircraft or during high-altitude work and performances, to ensure safety. The main materials are polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. A seatbelt does not only refer to the webbing; besides the webbing, it also includes other assembled components. "Seatbelts" have become a primary concern for drivers and passengers and are one of the most important safety features in vehicles. Traditional safety components for driving, such as rearview mirrors and side mirrors (traditional rearview systems), safety features like AIRBAG (airbags) and ABS (anti-lock braking systems), are already well-known to drivers and passengers and are commonly used in imported luxury vehicles. 2. Regulations: When a motor vehicle is in motion, both the driver and passengers must use seatbelts as required. If the driver fails to use a seatbelt as required, they will be fined 200 yuan; if a passenger fails to use a seatbelt as required, they will also be fined 200 yuan. If the driver of a commercial vehicle fails to display seatbelt usage prompts or provide verbal reminders to passengers, they will additionally be fined 200 yuan. Legal basis: Article 51 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that when a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seatbelts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required.
