Parking in P gear without turning off the engine while waiting is harmful. Here are specific details about parking in P gear: 1. Harm: The car can be turned off without shifting to P gear, but it will damage the transmission and engine. It is recommended to shift to P gear before parking and turning off the engine. The P gear mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the car, preventing it from moving. 2. Correct Practice: The most suitable parking sequence for the vehicle is to first wait until the car comes to a complete stop on a flat surface, then shift the gear from D to P, engage the handbrake to complete the parking process, and finally turn off the engine.

How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a Volkswagen?

Turn off the engine, and within 10 seconds, activate the windshield washer switch. The wipers will automatically move to the middle of the windshield. Then, hold the wiper arm firmly and lift it up. When resetting, hold the spine of the wiper blade and gently place it back; avoid snapping it back abruptly. Below is some related information about wipers: 1. The wiper system includes a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Wipers are devices used to remove raindrops and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all vehicles worldwide are equipped with wipers. 2. The power source of the wiper is the motor, which is the core of the wiper system. Proper use and maintenance of the front wipers are crucial for the motor's longevity. When the rain stops, do not turn off the wipers immediately. If the windshield is covered with mud splashes from the vehicle ahead, turning them on again would only spread the mud. Every night when parking, make sure to clean the front windshield thoroughly. Developing this habit can significantly benefit the wiper's performance and lifespan.
