Volkswagen dashboard settings are configured using the wiper switch. Press and hold the wiper switch upward or downward to enter the dashboard setup interface. Then, toggle the wiper switch up or down to select functions. For higher trim models equipped with a multifunction steering wheel, menu navigation can be done using the up and down buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Below is an extended introduction: The role of the dashboard: Small icons on the dashboard represent different meanings and provide real-time vehicle information, which is crucial for car owners to understand and master. With technological advancements, more models are adopting digital displays to replace traditional dials, such as trip computers and LCD dashboards. These can display instant fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, average speed, tire pressure, and fault warnings, making it easier for drivers to read and comprehend.

I remember when I first started driving my Volkswagen, I always liked tinkering with the dashboard to make it suit my personal preferences. Now, let me tell you the steps: After starting the car, don't rush to drive. There's a button on the steering wheel, usually the one on the right with the VIEW mark. Press it to enter the menu, where you can adjust the display content, such as adding average fuel consumption or remaining mileage. Some models even allow you to change the theme style to make it look cooler. Don't do this while driving—safety first. Just take your time to select the options when parked. After saving the settings and exiting, they will automatically take effect the next time you start the car. I think this kind of customization enhances the driving experience and makes it easier to see important information. The button positions vary slightly across different Volkswagen models, but it's quite simple in my Golf.

Is it mandatory to pay compulsory traffic insurance if the car is not driven?

If the car is not driven, you don't have to purchase compulsory traffic insurance, but it absolutely cannot be driven on the road, because only with compulsory traffic insurance can the car be legally driven without penalty. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display an inspection compliance mark or insurance mark, or the driver does not carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the required procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle, within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, with much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits, without any deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof marks; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, fast and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it, and if a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, as electronic unification makes it convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of all vehicles.

Can a temporary ID card be used for the Subject 4 test?

Temporary ID cards can be used for the Subject 4 test, as they hold the same legal validity as regular ID cards. Applicants can visit any public security bureau (even non-local ones) to submit their household registration booklet, a recent one-inch black-and-white photo with no hat (same size standard as ID photos), and pay the certificate processing fee.
