Here are the specific conditions for using car lights: 1. High beam and low beam: High beams should only be used when there are no streetlights and no oncoming vehicles, as they can significantly impair the vision of other drivers and potentially cause traffic accidents. Therefore, high beams should be used with caution. Low beams should be turned on during dusk when lighting is insufficient or at night. In conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, low beams should be used even during the day. 2. Fog lights: Fog lights are designed to make your vehicle visible to others in low-visibility conditions like fog or heavy rain. Therefore, fog lights need to have strong light penetration. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights. 3. Hazard warning lights: Hazard warning lights are used in the highest alert state while driving. They should be turned on during emergencies or when the vehicle needs to stop due to a malfunction. 4. Turn signals: Turn signals are the primary device for indicating a vehicle's dynamic information. They must be activated when turning to alert other vehicles and pedestrians. 5. Brake lights: Brake lights are bright and highly visible, serving to alert following vehicles that you are slowing down or stopping. Proper use of brake lights can help prevent rear-end collisions. 6. Reverse lights: Reverse lights are installed at the rear of the vehicle and are all white. They illuminate the area behind the car to reduce blind spots and alert pedestrians and other vehicles that the car is reversing. 7. Daytime running lights: As the name suggests, daytime running lights are used during the day. Their purpose is not to help the driver see the road but to make others aware that a vehicle is approaching. Therefore, these lights are not for illumination but serve as signal lights. 8. Position lights: Position lights, also known as parking lights, can be turned on in places with insufficient lighting, such as garages, to alert other vehicles.

Can Volkswagen maintenance be done at different 4S stores?

Volkswagen maintenance can be done at different 4S stores. The role of 4S stores: 4S stores and automobile manufacturers jointly form an automobile brand alliance, representing the brand culture, reflecting brand value, maintaining brand loyalty, and establishing brand awareness and reputation for automobile manufacturers. Typically, a brand's 4S stores are distributed in a region with only one or several equidistant dealerships. Since they belong to the same brand and manufacturer, maintenance can be performed at any 4S store. Automobile maintenance knowledge: Daily maintenance refers to routine upkeep, including pre-driving, during driving, and post-driving tasks, which are the responsibility of the driver.

Is there a difference between electronic shift levers and conventional shift levers?

There is a difference between electronic shift levers and conventional shift levers, and the differences are as follows: 1. Different uses: Electronic shift levers are generally for automatic transmissions; conventional shift levers are divided into manual and automatic transmissions. 2. Different principles: Electronic shift levers achieve gear shifting through electric motors; conventional shift levers directly control the manual valves of the transmission via linkages. The usage method of an electronic shift lever is as follows: 1. When parking, press the 'P' button on top of the shift lever to illuminate the 'P' letter, engaging the parking gear. 2. Pull the shift lever backward once to light up the 'D' indicator, engaging the 'D' gear, after which the electronic shift lever automatically returns. 3. When the transmission is in 'D' gear, pulling the shift lever backward once lights up the 'M' indicator, engaging manual mode. 4. When in 'D' or 'R' gear, pushing the shift lever in the opposite direction of the current gear lights up the 'N' indicator, engaging neutral gear. 5. Holding down the unlock button on the left side of the shift lever and pushing the lever forward lights up the 'R' indicator, engaging reverse gear.
