Open the settings and find the corresponding function button to make adjustments. Below are the methods for dashboard setup: 1. For the individual adjustment of rearview mirrors, first open the settings, then locate "Comfort Functions" - "Rearview Mirror Adjustment," after which options for individual and synchronized adjustment will appear. 2. To display "Average Fuel Consumption" and "Long-term Fuel Consumption," press the function button on the steering wheel to find the "Average Fuel Consumption" display, then press the middle "OK" button to show "Long-term Fuel Consumption." This fuel consumption display only indicates the average consumption under specific conditions at a certain time, which is different from the actual average fuel consumption. 3. To view the driving time, press the multifunction button on the right side of the steering wheel to find the "Driving Time" display, then press the middle "OK" button to show "Long Time." The concept of "Driving Time" refers to the duration from starting the car until turning it off, while "Long Time" represents the total driving time of the vehicle from its manufacture to the present.

Setting up your car's dashboard primarily depends on whether your vehicle has a digital or traditional instrument cluster. As someone who has driven for years, I recommend starting with basic settings, such as adjusting brightness: too bright at night can be dazzling, while too dim makes it hard to read. Usually, there’s a knob or button near the steering wheel—enter the menu to find the brightness option and adjust it darker or lighter. Additionally, unit settings matter—whether the speedometer shows mph or kph, and fuel consumption in L/100km or mpg—as these affect daily driving decisions. If a warning light illuminates, the dashboard display helps quickly identify issues, like an engine light or oil pressure warning. It’s best to configure these before driving to avoid distractions—safety first. Older models may require manual knobs for brightness adjustment or trip reset, while newer ones might use touchscreen setups, even supporting theme changes (e.g., sport mode emphasizing RPMs, comfort mode highlighting speed and fuel economy). Always refer to the vehicle manual step-by-step, and consult a professional if unsure to avoid mishandling. Remember: routinely check dashboard indicators for proper function, never ignore warnings, and address faults promptly to ensure road safety.

The dashboard settings of Hyundai cars are quite impressive. For example, I recently drove a friend's car with a digital dashboard, where I could switch menus using the buttons on the steering wheel: the brightness adjustment is very practical at night, set to the lowest to avoid glare; it also allows changing unit settings, switching speed and fuel consumption units to a familiar system, like from km/h to mph, to avoid confusion. For more advanced features, some cars support custom layouts, such as placing the navigation map in the center of the dashboard and music information in the corner, making it safer to drive without looking at the central screen. Or you can choose themes, with sport mode displaying a tachometer and acceleration curve, suitable for spirited driving. The operation is simple—start the car after ignition, don’t press the accelerator, and directly enter the settings menu, select a few options, and save. Be careful not to operate while driving; wait for a red light or park to ensure safety. If the system freezes, try restarting the infotainment system or disconnecting the battery to reset. Exploring these settings is quite fun, enhancing the driving experience and preventing incorrect displays or malfunctions. Check for updates during regular maintenance, as software upgrades may bring new features.

Setting up the car dashboard is straightforward, with priority given to adjusting brightness and display content for safety. While driving, I noticed that an overly bright screen can interfere with visibility, especially at night, so I enter the vehicle menu to dim the brightness. Changing units like speed or temperature to your preferred mode is sufficient. Beginners should start with the basics and avoid making too many changes to prevent confusion. Reading the user manual for guidance is essential—take it step by step without rushing. Be careful not to accidentally activate other functions during setup. Common settings include resetting trip information and testing warning lights to ensure everything functions properly for timely alerts and accident prevention. Always check that the dashboard displays correctly before driving off.

Is the Phaeton an imported car?

Phaeton is an imported car. The following are methods to distinguish domestically produced cars from imported cars and an introduction to the characteristics of imported cars: Methods to distinguish domestically produced cars from imported cars: Check if there are Chinese characters at the rear of the car, check the vehicle identification number (VIN) - if it starts with the letter 'L', it is a domestically produced car; otherwise, it is an imported car, and differentiate through vehicle model configurations. Characteristics of imported cars: Significant price advantage by eliminating intermediate costs, as they bypass multiple layers of dealers and 4S stores, saving a large amount of intermediary costs. Parallel imported cars can be more than 20% cheaper than China-spec cars. You can purchase models not yet available in the domestic market, saving waiting time for new cars, and enjoy richer configurations that are consistent with overseas versions.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sharan?

The fuel tank capacity of the Sharan is 70 liters. Below is the relevant introduction: Volkswagen Sharan: Since the full production of the first-generation Sharan in 1996, it has consistently held the position of the best-selling MPV in the German market. Across the entire European market, the Sharan has also ranked among the top three in sales within its class. Among consumers who purchase the Sharan, half previously drove models produced by other manufacturers. The extraordinary appeal of the Sharan is sufficient proof of how deeply Volkswagen's design and manufacturing philosophy resonates with people. Interior: The Sharan adopts a 2+3+2 seating configuration, so there is no central passage for third-row passengers to enter and exit. Although the vehicle width exceeds 1.8 meters, due to the slightly inward-curving arc design, shoulder and headroom for multiple passengers may be somewhat affected. However, for an MPV with a length of 4.6 meters, the space utilization of the Sharan is already quite good. Additionally, the rear air conditioning vents are very discreet, featuring a panel-mounted design where cool air spreads from the footwell vents throughout the cabin. Although the vehicle does not have overhead air conditioning vents, the cooling performance is already excellent.

Can I Add 95 Octane Gasoline When 92 Octane Is Not Completely Used Up?

92 gasoline not completely used up can add 95, but should not be mixed for a long time. The following is the relevant introduction about gasoline: Precautions for car refueling: The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock performance. When the air-fuel mixture is injected into the cylinder, the piston moves upward to compress the air-fuel mixture. When the pressure increases, the temperature rises. If the anti-knock performance of the gasoline is too low at this time, combustion will start before the spark plug ignites, resulting in detonation, commonly known as knocking. Knocking not only affects the engine's output but also causes damage to the engine. Choose gasoline octane number according to the vehicle model: 92 octane gasoline is suitable for ordinary cars with low technical content. 95 octane gasoline is suitable for the vast majority of cars. 95 octane gasoline is suitable for turbocharged and high-compression ratio models, and it is compatible with most vehicles.
