Taking the Lamando as an example, the auto start-stop function uses a mechanical button. To turn it on or off, simply press the button. Below is some relevant information about the auto start-stop function: 1. Usage Notes for Auto Start-Stop: The auto start-stop function will shut off the engine. Unless the vehicle is also equipped with an auto-hold function, you must keep your foot on the brake during this process. 2. Tips for Using Auto Start-Stop in the Volkswagen Lamando: (1) The auto start-stop function can only be permanently disabled by modifying the vehicle's code. For normal use, the driver must manually turn it off each time. (2) During heavy traffic on holidays, turning off this function can make driving more comfortable. Otherwise, frequent restarts may occur, and you might be more susceptible to being cut off by other drivers. (3) When starting on a slope, turn off the auto start-stop function. A slow response during startup could lead to the vehicle rolling backward, creating a dangerous situation. 3. Possible Reasons Why the Auto Start-Stop Function in the Volkswagen Lamando May Not Work: (1) The function does not operate when the battery charge is below 60%. (2) The interior temperature is below 20°C, or the outside temperature is below 4°C. (3) The engine has not reached the standard operating temperature. (4) The steering wheel is turned too far, exceeding 30 degrees.

After driving a Volkswagen for so many years, turning off the auto start-stop as soon as I get in the car has become a habit. Just find the round button near the gear lever with an icon like the letter A in a circle and press it once. The dashboard will pop up a message saying it's deactivated. It's especially useful in city traffic jams, saving you from that little shudder when the engine restarts at a green light. I always worry that frequent start-stop cycles damage the starter, especially in summer with the AC on—the moment the engine shuts off, the cool air cuts out, which is really uncomfortable. After getting into the habit of disabling the start-stop, the car feels much smoother, and the battery life seems to last longer too.

How Long is the Driver's License Exam Valid?

The validity period of the driver's license exam is 3 years. This period does not start from the day of enrollment in the driving school but begins from the day the applicant passes the subject one exam and obtains the "Learning to Drive Certificate." The validity period of the "Learning to Drive Certificate" is exactly three years, so the expiration of this certificate means the end of the validity of the driver's license exam. If the applicant fails to complete all subjects within 3 years: According to regulations, applicants must obtain the "Learning to Drive Certificate" to practice driving on the training ground and roads. The "Learning to Drive Certificate" is valid for three years, and applicants must complete subjects two and three within this period. If the exams are not completed within the validity period, the passed subjects will be invalidated. In other words, if the "Learning to Drive Certificate" expires and the applicant has not completed all exams, not only will all subject results be invalidated, but also the driving records and training hours in the file will be cleared. At that point, the applicant will have to re-enroll in a driving school and start learning from subject one again.

What does the key-shaped symbol on the dashboard mean?

It indicates that the vehicle has not detected the car key. This could be due to a malfunction in the vehicle's receiver module, a damaged transmitter module in the key, or the key's battery being depleted. Below is some information about car keys: Classification: Car keys are divided into two types—one without an anti-theft chip and another with an anti-theft chip. Keys with anti-theft chips are commonly found in some low-end models, which don't even have a remote control, though they are rare nowadays. Smart Key: A smart key functions like a small radio wave transmitter. The chip inside the key contains a unique ID code that matches the specific vehicle. When the smart key emits a radio wave, the car receives it, and after verification by the car's anti-theft system control unit, the key is authenticated, allowing the doors to be unlocked and the engine to be started.

What does it mean when the CPV valve is stuck in the open position?

Not CPV valve, it should be PVC valve, which means the car PVC valve is stuck in the open position. Here is some information about the car PVC valve: Composition: The car PVC valve is a device on the forced ventilation system of the car engine's crankcase, consisting of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring. Function: It directs the gas in the crankcase into the intake manifold through the PCV valve, and a small amount of air enters the intake manifold directly from the air filter through the PCV valve. This prevents icing at the throttle, incomplete combustion, and worsening emissions. It also prevents blow-by gases from entering the atmosphere and prevents engine oil from deteriorating.
