Method to turn on the fog lights in the Octavia: Rotate the knob on the left side of the steering wheel that controls the lights to the right to the small light or low beam positions. Then, pull the knob towards yourself. There are two positions: the first position activates the front fog lights, and the second position activates the rear fog lights. Fog lights are installed at the front and rear of the car and are used to illuminate the road and provide safety warnings during rainy or foggy weather. The rear fog lights are parallel and are usually located on the dashboard inside the car. Turning on the fog lights improves visibility for the driver and other traffic participants. Fog lights are divided into front and rear fog lights, with front fog lights typically being bright yellow and rear fog lights being red. The Octavia has body dimensions of 4675mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686mm.

Last time I drove my Octavia in heavy fog, it took me a while to figure out how to turn on the fog lights. First, you need to turn on the headlights by twisting the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to the low beam position. Then comes the crucial step: pull the top of the stalk towards you once to activate the front fog lights, and pull it a second time for the rear fog lights. A yellow indicator light will appear on the dashboard as a reminder. Be aware that the rear fog light is particularly dazzling, so don't use it unnecessarily in clear weather, and remember to pull the stalk again to turn it off after use. If you have a newer Octavia with automatic headlights, you'll need to disable the auto mode first to operate the fog light switch.

What Parts Need to Be Replaced for a Flood-Damaged Vehicle?

If a vehicle has been submerged, the following parts must be replaced: 1. Engine: If the vehicle did not stall or was not started after being submerged, the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and sealing rings during the drainage process of disassembling engine components need to be replaced. If the engine stalled or was restarted, in addition to the aforementioned parts, the engine connecting rods may also need to be replaced depending on the situation, requiring an engine overhaul. 2. Transmission: Transmission fluid and transmission filter. 3. All vehicle fluids: All vehicle fluids, including engine oil, antifreeze, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc., must be completely replaced if the submersion was severe. 4. Bearing components: If the water level reached the engine hood and the submersion lasted for a while, it is recommended to replace bearing components to avoid future issues like noise or damage due to rust. Examples include the generator, air conditioning compressor, and wheel bearings.

What are the new driving test regulations in 2021?

There are two main points in the 2021 driving test regulations. Regarding the application: Independent application, drivers can register, schedule exams, and pay fees online; relaxation of physical conditions, disabled individuals can apply for corresponding driving licenses according to relevant requirements; cross-region application, for the first-time application for a motor vehicle driver's license in a temporary residence, one can apply for a driver's license for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed cargo vehicles, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. Regarding driving practice norms: Clarification of traffic violations during practice driving, failure to follow the prescribed route or time for driving practice, failure to place or affix special identification for driving practice as required, the accompanying instructor will be held responsible; if the learner does not have a driving practice certificate, the certificate is expired, there is no coach or accompanying instructor, or the accompanying instructor does not meet the requirements, the learner will be held responsible.

Should the Handbrake Be Used When in P Gear?

After parking and shifting into P gear, it is still necessary to engage the handbrake. Otherwise, the locking mechanism of the P gear may be subjected to excessive force, which can reduce its service life. Below are the relevant explanations: The difference between P gear and the handbrake: The P gear, or parking gear, should be engaged during long-term parking. When P gear is engaged, the transmission's locking mechanism activates, preventing the vehicle from moving. The handbrake, also known as the parking brake, should also be engaged during long-term parking. When the handbrake is applied, the rear brakes immobilize the rear wheels, preventing dangerous situations like rolling. Consequences of not using the handbrake: If only P gear is engaged without the handbrake when parking on a slope, significant pressure will be placed on the transmission's locking mechanism. In severe cases, this can lead to transmission damage or oil leakage, with a high likelihood of the vehicle rolling. Additionally, if only the handbrake is engaged without shifting into P gear, the transmission remains disengaged, which also increases the risk of the vehicle rolling.

What is the content of the Subject 2 driving test in Guiyang?

The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, curve driving (commonly known as S-curve), and in some regions, a sixth item of high-speed card collection. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. A total test score of 80 points or above is considered a pass. There is one attempt for the Subject 2 test. If the test is failed, one retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or is still failed, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

What Are the Knowledge Points About Car Air Conditioning?

Car air conditioning knowledge is as follows: 1. Air conditioning vents: Based on the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, when using the air conditioning in the car, point the vents upward when cooling and downward when heating. 2. Frequent cleaning: Many car owners often wash their cars but neglect their maintenance. Summer often brings heavy rain and humid weather. If the air conditioning filter is not cleaned in time, it can cause odors and mildew smells in the car. 3. Occasionally use the high-speed fan setting: While using the air conditioning, occasionally setting it to the maximum fan speed can blow out residual dust in the air ducts. 4. How to use the internal and external circulation: When the car is very hot, use the external circulation to release the heat inside the car. Then, once the temperature drops sufficiently, turn on the cooling and switch to internal circulation. 5. Turn on the air conditioning weekly: Try to turn on the cooling function 3-4 times a month for about 5 minutes each time. This can effectively prevent issues like evaporator and compressor aging.

How to Check the Level of Car Coolant?

To check the amount of car coolant, look at the MIN (minimum) and MAX (maximum) marks on the car radiator. The coolant level should be maintained between the MAX and MIN marks, which indicates a normal level—neither too much nor too little. If the level is below MIN, it means the coolant is insufficient and needs to be topped up. Here’s an introduction to coolant: 1. Coolant Overview: Its full name is antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing during cold seasons, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block. 2. Function of Coolant: Its primary role is to keep the engine within the normal temperature range while also providing antifreeze, anti-boiling, and anti-corrosion functions. 3. Coolant Level Location: The expansion tank in the engine compartment has upper and lower limits marked for the coolant level. Visually inspect the coolant level; if it is between these limits, it is at a normal level. If the coolant level is found to be too low, it should be refilled as soon as possible. When refilling, ensure the coolant level is between the upper and lower limits of the expansion tank.
