Introduction to switching back the mph display on Volkswagen dashboard: 1. Method 1: Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the second position without starting the engine. 2. Method 2: Then use the selection and confirmation buttons on the multifunction steering wheel to operate the car's central console. Enter settings, find and open the general management option, where you can see the unit selection. 3. Method 3: Click on mph, and the system will automatically switch mph to kph (kilometers per hour). The setting method may vary for different vehicles, so car owners can refer to the vehicle's user manual for specific operations.

I've been driving a Volkswagen for several years and am used to handling issues like incorrect dashboard display units myself. Typically, I use the control buttons on the steering wheel—for example, pressing the MENU button to access the settings menu, then navigating to the 'Units' option to find the speed unit and switching it back to mph. Some models require adjustments to be made while the vehicle is parked, so try doing it after ignition. If the buttons aren't responding, restarting the vehicle might help. Remember, misoperations often happen when pressing the wrong buttons while driving, so it's best to operate carefully in a quiet environment. Regularly checking settings during maintenance can prevent such issues and ensure driving safety.

As a new car driver, I researched the issue when I first noticed the dashboard numbers acting strange. The key solution lies in the Volkswagen steering wheel buttons: the combination of left/right arrows and the OK button. Press them repeatedly to enter the menu page, scroll to the unit section, and switch the speed from other units to mph. Be patient while waiting for the response, as some cars react slower. Don't rush, try a few more times and you'll eventually succeed. This issue doesn't affect driving, but it's good for peace of mind.

To ensure driving safety, incorrect instrument unit settings should be corrected promptly. It is recommended to stop the engine and use the steering wheel control buttons to step into the vehicle settings, then locate the unit adjustment option and select mph. If the steps are forgotten, refer to the user manual provided with the vehicle or the mobile APP operation guide. Incorrect units may mislead speed judgment, so safety comes first.

Can the location of a driver's license be changed?

Driver's license can be changed to a different location. Materials required for the change: You need to bring your ID card, driver's license, and three one-inch color photos with a white background to the local vehicle management office to complete the transfer procedure for an out-of-town driver's license. For non-local residents, a residence permit is required, provided that the driver's license is in a normal state. Relevant regulations: Article 58 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates that if a motor vehicle driver's household registration is moved out of the jurisdiction of the original vehicle management office, they should apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of the new location. If a motor vehicle driver resides outside the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office that issued the license, they can apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of their place of residence. When applying, they must fill out an application form, submit the motor vehicle driver's identity proof and motor vehicle driver's license, and declare their physical condition.

Is it useful to turn on AC when using car heater?

Heating only utilizes the internal heat circulation of the car and does not require activating the compressor. Therefore, to use the heater, you only need to adjust the air conditioning button and should never touch the AC switch. The function of the AC button: The AC button in a car controls the switch of the air conditioning compressor. The working principle of the air conditioning compressor is to compress and drive the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, so generally, there is no need to turn on the AC button when using the heater. Therefore, the idea that many car owners have about needing to turn on the AC button when using the heater is incorrect. The impact of using the heater on fuel consumption: The principles of heating and cooling are actually quite different. The heater relies on the heat dissipation from the engine. There is a small fan in the engine compartment that blows the heat collected by the cooling system into the car. If the heater is not turned on, this heat will be discharged outside the car, so using the heater in winter does not consume fuel.

What are the differences between Bosch Aerotwin and Flat Wiper?

Bosch Aerotwin and Flat Wiper have significant differences. Bosch Aerotwin: Aerotwin uses European imported materials assembled domestically, featuring multiple patented technologies and having won several international awards. It belongs to the U-type wiper category. The traditional frame wiper converts a single force point at the wiper arm connection into multiple force points on the wiper through a two-stage bracket transmission. This evenly distributes the downward pressure from the wiper arm across the wiper blade. The multiple pressure points on the wiper blade act on the internal steel strips, which then distribute the force more evenly to the rubber blade. It uses a U-type universal connector. Link: Bosch Automotive Parts Official Website - Wiper Blades. Flat Wiper: Flat Wiper is domestically produced and cost-effective. It belongs to the frameless wiper category. By using thicker, wider, and more elastic steel, this frameless wiper eliminates the need for the frame structure used in traditional wipers to distribute force. Instead, it directly applies force to the steel strip, effectively dispersing the concentrated force at a single point. This allows for the removal of the frame while maintaining even force distribution on the rubber blade. It features a side-lock interface. The wiper connector is directly inserted into the wiper arm and secured by a locking block.

What does the ABS warning light on the car mean?

When the ABS warning light appears on the car, it indicates a malfunction in the Anti-lock Braking System, which is an active safety feature built upon conventional braking mechanisms. The ABS prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking, maintaining a rolling-and-sliding state of the wheels to enhance tire-to-ground friction. By regulating hydraulic pressure in the wheel brake cylinders, ABS ensures wheels don't lock during hard stops, preserving directional stability under emergency braking conditions.

Can I continue driving if the ESP warning light is on?

You should not continue driving if the ESP warning light is on, as it poses certain safety hazards. It is recommended to inspect and repair the issue immediately. The ESP system is the electronic stability program, which plays a crucial role in vehicle stability and safety. It is related to the ABS system, and a malfunction in the ESP system may also affect the ABS system. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, allowing the driver to both slow down the vehicle and maintain control over its trajectory to avoid obstacles.
