To turn on the air conditioning in a Volkswagen, follow these steps: 1. For cooling: Press the A/C button, turn on the fan switch, rotate the temperature control knob to the blue side for cold air, adjust the fan speed, and set the desired temperature. 2. For heating: Turn off the A/C button, turn on the fan switch, rotate the temperature control knob to the red side for warm air, adjust the fan speed, and set the desired temperature. 3. Additional information: The A/C button in a car controls the compressor. The car air conditioning system includes not only the compressor but also components like the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. To get cold air, you need to turn on the A/C switch; otherwise, the system will only operate the blower, delivering air at ambient temperature.

I just picked up a Volkswagen Magotan, and the air conditioning controls are actually quite simple. First, start the engine, then look for the large round button with three small fan icons in the center console—turning it clockwise increases the fan speed. Temperature control is even more intuitive: the left knob labeled LO/HI adjusts between cold and warm air, with the blue zone for cold air and the red zone for warm air. To activate AC cooling, press the snowflake button in the middle of the round knob—it only cools when the light is on. Remember, on rainy days, press the button with the fan and arrow symbol to defog the windshield, and the square button with wavy lines for rear window heating. The new digital instrument cluster even displays the set AC temperature, which is very convenient.

Can a private car carry 6 people?

No, it cannot carry six people as it constitutes overloading. If a vehicle with a capacity limit of 5 people carries 6, it is already considered overloading. Overload refers to the actual load of a transportation vehicle exceeding the maximum allowable limit set by regulations. Freight overloading typically means the cargo transported by a motor vehicle exceeds its loading capacity. Below is an introduction to overloading penalties: 1. According to the interpretation of the new traffic regulations, any vehicle exceeding 20% of the approved passenger capacity is considered overloaded and will be penalized under the new regulations. 2. Driving a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding 20% of the approved capacity results in a 12-point deduction. Driving a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles exceeding 20% of the approved capacity, results in a 6-point deduction. 3. Driving passenger vehicles other than commercial passenger vehicles or school buses exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20% results in a 3-point deduction.

Is a Small Paint Chip from Opening the Car Door Serious?

You can go to a repair shop to fix a small paint chip caused by opening the car door. Below is an introduction to paint chips from opening car doors: 1. Touch-up Pen Repair: When performing paint repairs, it is essential to choose a professional service to avoid color discrepancies in the car's paint, which can affect its appearance. If you prefer not to visit a repair shop, you can use a touch-up pen to cover the chip, preventing the door from rusting. 2. Composition of Car Paint: The paint on a car's body is quite complex, consisting of four layers from the inside out: the electrocoat layer, primer layer, basecoat layer, and clearcoat layer. The electrocoat layer primarily serves as rust protection. After the entire car body is assembled, it is immersed in an electrocoating bath, forming an electrocoat layer on the surface. Above the electrocoat layer is the primer layer, which also provides rust protection and enhances adhesion to the next layer of paint. The basecoat layer, above the primer, is responsible for the car's aesthetic appeal, displaying the various colors we see. The outermost layer is the clearcoat, which protects the basecoat and enhances the paint's gloss.

How to Read Tire Size?

On the sidewall of the tire, there is a display. The first three digits shown on the tire sidewall, such as 245, 275, etc., indicate the relevant size of the tire. When replacing tires, it is essential to use tires of the same size as the original vehicle to ensure proper tire usage and maintain the stability of the motor vehicle's operation. Below are some precautions regarding tire purchase and usage: 1. When purchasing tires, always check the production date: Avoid buying tires with production dates that are too old. Tires are rubber products and will age even if unused. 2. During regular vehicle use, frequently inspect tire pressure and check for any damage on the tire surface: The sidewall of the tire is relatively fragile, and if it is cut or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is minimal.

Does Low Washer Fluid Level Affect Driving?

When the dashboard indicates low washer fluid level, it generally does not affect the vehicle's operation, but it is necessary to replenish the windshield washer fluid promptly. Below are the specific functions of automotive windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically possess wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing properties, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal effects. 2. Antifreeze Performance: It significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing antifreeze protection and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog Performance: A monomolecular protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring clear visibility through the windshield. 4. Anti-static Performance: After cleaning with washer fluid, substances adhering to the glass surface can eliminate static charges on the glass, providing anti-static properties.

How long after passing Subject 4 can I check the information on 12123?

Generally, you cannot check the driver's license information immediately after passing Subject 4. The information typically becomes available either on the same day of the exam or after about a week. According to regulations, the vehicle management office should reissue the driver's license within one day. After the driver receives the reissued license, the original driver's license becomes invalid and should no longer be used. Additional information: The scoring cycle for a driver's license is one year starting from the date of issuance. If a C1 driver's license does not accumulate 12 penalty points within this year and all violations are resolved and fines paid before the start of the second cycle, the license will be restored to 12 points at the beginning of the second cycle.
