carPlay is used as follows: Users connect their iPhone to the car via USB, and a handshake will be displayed on the screen. Drivers can operate it by touching the in-car control panel or by long-pressing the virtual Home button on the CarPlay interface to activate iOS's voice assistant Siri, allowing them to give voice commands directly. This enables users to access various iPhone functions without having to touch or look at the phone screen. CarPlay helps reduce distractions while driving, making it safer and more convenient, offering a great user experience. CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc. in the U.S., seamlessly integrating users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system.

Using CarPlay is actually quite simple, just like my essential companion when driving out. First, make sure your car supports CarPlay functionality—many modern cars come with built-in systems. Then, connect your iPhone using a data cable (such as a Lightning connector) to the car's USB port, or set up a wireless connection by pairing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the car's settings. Once connected, the car's screen will display an iPhone-like interface. You can use Apple Maps for navigation to avoid wrong turns, play music from Apple Music or Spotify to pass the time, and even use Siri to send messages or make calls completely hands-free, ensuring safe driving. I find the voice control feature the most convenient, as it minimizes distractions by eliminating the need to look down and operate the phone manually. I rely on it every week for entertainment and efficiency during long drives. Just remember to keep your iPhone system updated for compatibility.

How to Know if the Car is Driving in the Middle of the Road?

Methods to determine if the car is driving in the middle of the road include: 1. Using the driver as a reference: The position of the left leg corresponds to the trajectory of the left front wheel, while the centerline of the car body aligns with the right leg (or right face), ensuring the car stays in the middle of the road; 2. Using the lower edge of the front window as a reference: The trajectory of the left wheel aligns with a point 10 to 15 centimeters inward from the left lower edge of the front window, and the right wheel aligns with the center of the front window; 3. Looking ahead with a level gaze: From a safe driving perspective, the farther the driver looks ahead, the earlier they can detect traffic conditions ahead. In case of emergencies, this allows for earlier response, effectively increasing the driver's safe reaction distance and extending their safe reaction time.

Should the Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal of a Corolla Be Replaced if It's Leaking?

The rear crankshaft oil seal of a Corolla should be replaced if it's leaking. More information about the crankcase is as follows: 1. The lower part of the cylinder block where the crankshaft is installed is called the crankcase, which is divided into the upper crankcase and the lower crankcase. The upper crankcase is cast as one piece with the cylinder block, while the lower crankcase is used to store lubricating oil and seal the upper crankcase, hence it is also known as the oil pan. 2. Functions of the crankcase: The crankcase is the most important component in the engine, receiving the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converting it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. The crankcase is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from rotating masses, periodically varying gas inertia forces, and reciprocating inertia forces, causing the crankshaft to bear bending and torsional loads. It also prevents engine oil from deteriorating and avoids leaks from the crankshaft oil seal and crankcase gasket.

What type of oil does a Jetta use?

Jetta uses semi-synthetic oil with the specification SG-5w-40 (4L). If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, it is recommended to use fully synthetic oil. The specifications are VW50200, 5W-40 or higher. The viscosity of the oil will change with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the smoother the cold start of the car will be. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better it can maintain viscosity at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the oil in a Jetta is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, and also allow the oil to flow back into the oil pan; use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out; start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to flow out; use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, generally filling about three-quarters of a 4-liter bottle; start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter, and repair if necessary; after stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
