Insert the key but do not turn it. First, turn it to the radio position, pull the switch on the left side of the combination switch toward the driver, and hold the turn signal lever upward. Turn the key two clicks to power on the car's dashboard. When you hear a beeping alarm sound, release the turn signal lever, and the daytime running lights will be turned off. If you want to turn this function back on, the method is similar to turning it off—simply pull the turn signal lever to the left.

Is it okay to turn the steering wheel while stationary?

It is not advisable to turn the steering wheel while the car is stationary. Although modern vehicles are equipped with power steering, turning the wheel while stationary is different from doing so while driving, especially in terms of the impact on the tires, which can cause damage. Below are the specific damages caused by turning the steering wheel while stationary: 1. Tire damage: Tires are made of synthetic rubber and bear the weight of the entire vehicle, which can be over a ton. Turning the steering wheel while stationary increases the sliding friction between the tires and the ground, leading to increased surface wear and a shortened tire lifespan. 2. Steering wheel wear: Repeatedly turning the steering wheel while stationary can cause significant damage to the steering system. The steering wheel is subjected to high stress and requires substantial power assistance, which can lead to excessive play in the linkage system. This results in premature aging of the steering wheel, reduced operational flexibility, slower response times, and potential safety hazards. 3. Damage to the steering gear: Most vehicles' steering gears, whether electronic or hydraulic, operate similarly. The steering wheel's input is transmitted to the steering gear, which then moves the tie rods. It's important to note that stationary steering can harm the steering gear and tie rods in the same way as it damages the tires, due to excessive force being applied.

Can an automatic transmission car switch from D gear to S gear while driving?

An automatic transmission car can switch from D gear to S gear while driving. The method for switching between D and S gears in an automatic transmission car is as follows: 1. To shift from D to S, press the shift lock without releasing the accelerator or applying the brakes; 2. To shift from S to D, simply push the gear lever directly without releasing the accelerator or applying the brakes. The gears of an automatic transmission include: 1. P (Parking gear, starting gear); 2. R (Reverse gear); 3. N (Neutral gear); 4. D (Drive gear); 5. L (Low gear); 6. S (Sport mode); 7. OD (Overdrive gear). The correct way to use an automatic transmission is: 1. Start the vehicle in P or N gear, shift the gear lever out of P gear while pressing the brake, turn on the power and press the brake to shift to N gear, then shift to D gear after ignition and drive forward; 2. When switching between N, D, and L gears, there is no need to press the shift button. To shift from L gear to lower restricted gears, press the shift button, but shifting from lower to higher gears does not require pressing the shift button; 3. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 4. Do not push into P gear while driving; 5. After driving, the engine must be turned off and the gear must be shifted to P gear before the key can be removed.

Can the Auto-Lock Function of Jetta Forward Be Disabled?

Jetta Forward auto-lock function can be disabled. To disable the auto-lock feature on a Jetta, you need to visit a 4S shop and have the staff connect a computer to the vehicle's onboard computer to turn off the auto-lock function. This will remove the feature from the car. If needed in the future, you can revisit the 4S shop to reactivate the auto-lock function. Auto-lock while driving: Auto-lock while driving, also known as speed-sensing auto-lock, is an electronic device that automatically presses the door lock button when the vehicle reaches a preset speed, preventing accidental door opening. Advantages of auto-lock: Anti-theft, as the doors lock quickly after driving starts, preventing door-pulling robberies during traffic jams or at red lights; it also protects children inside the car by preventing them from opening the doors while the vehicle is in motion. Precautions: If the vehicle does not come with an auto-lock function or has one, it's best to enhance your active safety awareness. Always lock the doors immediately after getting in the car before driving. Develop a good habit of unlocking the central lock when transitioning from complex urban roads to ring roads, closed roads, expressways, or highways. Don’t be afraid of the hassle, as this can significantly improve your safety.
