I drive a 2019 Bora and have enabled some hidden features myself, which feels very convenient. At that time, I searched for tutorials online and saw many people using diagnostic tools like ODIS or VCDS. I first bought an OBD2 interface scanner, plugged it into the car's port under the steering wheel, and then downloaded Volkswagen-specific software to connect to my computer. I enabled features like the locking sound and automatic window closing in the rain, which was very simple and only took half an hour. However, DIY modifications come with risks; if the circuit gets damaged, the car could malfunction. I recommend beginners to first check detailed steps on the Bora forum and back up the original car settings. The tools aren't expensive either, costing just over 100 yuan, saving hundreds compared to going to a 4S shop. The key is to be careful and not rush to modify codes randomly; following video tutorials step by step is the safest way.

Does having an extra child in the car count as overloading?

Having an extra child in the car counts as overloading. Here is a detailed introduction to the hazards of vehicle overloading: 1. Damage to road infrastructure: Overloaded vehicles severely damage road infrastructure. Since the load of overloaded vehicles far exceeds the design capacity of roads and bridges, it leads to pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortens their service life. 2. Increased mass: Greater mass results in increased inertia, longer braking distances, and higher risks. If severely overloaded, it may cause tire blowouts, sudden deviation, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. 3. Increased psychological burden and stress: It is more prone to operational errors.

How much fuel does a car consume when idling for one hour without turning off the engine?

When a car idles for one hour without turning off the engine, the fuel consumption during idling can be affected by factors such as the vehicle's displacement and whether the air conditioning is on. Taking an ordinary 1.5-liter displacement family car as an example: 1. The normal idling fuel consumption is approximately 1-1.5 liters per hour, while with the air conditioning on, it can reach up to 2.5 liters per hour. Based on an average fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers, this is equivalent to the fuel consumption of driving 35 kilometers. 2. The larger the vehicle's displacement, the higher the fuel consumption naturally. Here are some additional points: 1. Prolonged idling can affect the engine: Frequent idling in place may also lead to engine malfunctions. If the vehicle remains idle for an extended period, the fuel will not burn completely. These unburned substances will remain in the engine and, over time, form carbon deposits. Carbon deposits can cause various issues in the engine, such as engine shaking, noise, high fuel consumption, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting. 2. Incomplete fuel combustion can also release a large amount of carbon monoxide: Since the vehicle is stationary, these harmful gases can enter the car through the air conditioning system, posing health risks to passengers inside. Prolonged exposure can also harm the vehicle itself and lead to oxygen deprivation in the car.

Can I reschedule after canceling an appointment during the processing of Subject 3?

After canceling the Subject 3 appointment, you can reschedule. Methods to cancel Subject 3 appointment: To cancel the Subject 3 exam appointment, you must do so at least one day in advance. If you are unable to attend the exam on the scheduled day, the appointment cannot be canceled. If the exam has not been successfully scheduled and is still in the pending state, you can cancel it online by logging into the 12123 APP and following the instructions. If you have already received a confirmation SMS for a successful appointment, you will need to prepare your original ID card and a written application to cancel the exam. Visit the vehicle management office's service window to submit a request for canceling the Subject 3 exam, then hand over the materials to the staff for review. Consequences of canceling a Subject 3 appointment: After canceling a successfully scheduled Subject 3 appointment, it will affect your ranking for the next appointment, and the time for a successful reschedule will be delayed. Subject 3 appointments are prioritized based on ranking, with higher-priority users placed at the front of the queue and thus given earlier exam slots. If the appointment was not successful, canceling it will not affect your ranking. Typically, students whose 3-year validity period is about to expire have the highest priority, and each subject grants one priority scheduling right.

Should the heel be lifted when switching from the accelerator to the brake?

When switching from the accelerator to the brake, the foot should be lifted; otherwise, the operation cannot be performed. When braking is needed, the right foot should naturally leave the accelerator pedal and move to the brake pedal. Additionally, the brake pedal is positioned higher than the accelerator pedal. The correct driving method for wading through water with a car: 1. Slow down or stop to observe: If the water level exceeds two-thirds of the bumper or tire height while driving through water, there is a certain risk. Moreover, driving too fast through water can cause splashes to enter the cabin through the engine compartment or chassis. The water level should be assessed; if it is high, it is advisable to detour rather than force passage. 2. Do not stop or shift gears: When wading through water, drive at a steady speed with low gear and moderate to high throttle, maintaining low speed. Avoid stopping, shifting gears, or releasing the throttle. 3. Do not restart the engine: If the car stalls in water, take measures to tow it to a safe location with less water as soon as possible. Do not attempt to restart the engine to avoid damage. 4. Remove moisture from the brake pads promptly: This prevents the vehicle from losing braking ability after wading, which could lead to danger or accidents.

What is the Tesla Battery?

Tesla batteries are ternary lithium batteries. The following is an introduction to ternary lithium batteries: 1. Materials Used: The positive electrode of the battery is made from ternary materials, which consist of nickel, cobalt, and manganese. This type of battery is currently quite popular, and most pure electric vehicles use ternary lithium batteries. 2. Characteristics: They are relatively lightweight and have high energy density, making them well-suited for use in pure electric vehicles. 3. Installation Location: Tesla uses Sony's 18650 batteries, which are similar in size to AA batteries. A single vehicle contains a total of 8,000 such batteries. The battery pack in Tesla vehicles is primarily located in the chassis, as is the case with most pure electric vehicles. This placement effectively lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, enhancing stability.
