The trunk door of the Volkswagen Tharu is not automatic. Semi-automatic opening: Drivers and passengers can open or close the trunk by pressing the trunk switch on the vehicle, using the remote car key, or by sensing with a hand or any object in the corresponding area of the trunk. This allows for easy and quick storage of items in the vehicle when hands are full and opening the door is inconvenient. Intelligent anti-pinch function: When closing the trunk, sensors detect obstacles. If an obstacle is encountered during the opening or closing of the electric trunk, the door will move in the opposite direction, effectively preventing injuries to children or damage to the vehicle. Emergency lock function: In case of emergencies requiring immediate closure of the trunk, the electric trunk can be stopped at any time during the opening or closing process using the remote key or the trunk switch on the vehicle, allowing for flexible control.

I've been driving the Volkswagen Tharu for a while, and whether the trunk door is automatic depends on the specific configuration. In the Tharu series, not all models come with automatic tailgates; only some higher-end versions are equipped with electric tailgate functionality. For example, I bought the top-tier version of the Tharu, which has an automatic tailgate—just a one-touch operation with the key or the interior button, making it very effortless. However, the base models usually have manual tailgates, requiring you to pull the door yourself. This is an important point when choosing a car. Salespeople at the 4S dealership might tell you that it can be retrofitted, but the factory-installed option is more reliable. The advantage of an automatic tailgate is convenience, especially in rainy weather or when carrying items—you don’t need to put things down to open or close the door. It also has anti-pinch sensors to prevent injuries to children or pets. However, for daily maintenance, you should pay attention to battery issues; unstable voltage can cause slow operation, so I recommend checking the lubrication every six months. Overall, if your budget allows, opting for the automatic version is worthwhile; otherwise, the manual version is sufficient.

Is driving at 60 mph fast?

Driving at 60 mph is not fast. The concept of 60 mph: In China, whether it's 60 kilometers, 60 mph, or 60 miles, they all refer to 60 kilometers. However, the term '60 mph' generally evolved from '60 miles'. Abroad, speedometers are calibrated in miles. But there is a difference between miles and kilometers. 'Mile' is a transliteration of the English word 'mile', meaning a unit of distance. 1 mile = 1605 meters = 1.605 kilometers. Therefore, the actual speed of 60 miles is 96.3 kilometers per hour. '60 mph' refers to 60 kilometers per hour, which converts to 16.67 meters per second. Normal human reaction speed: The reaction speed of a normal person to sudden events is generally around 80 mph.

Should You Steer with Your Left Hand or Right Hand While Driving?

When driving, the steering wheel should be operated with both hands. Using only one hand is an incorrect driving method. The necessity of steering with both hands: In emergency situations, steering with one hand can easily cause the wheel to slip, which is very dangerous. Additionally, gripping the steering wheel firmly with both hands is a prerequisite for maintaining the correct driving posture. When seated in the driver's seat, the hips serve as one pivot point, while the hands gripping the steering wheel act as the other two pivot points. This three-point support is the most stable and ensures driving safety. Correct steering operation: Hold the wheel in the "9 and 3 o'clock" position. Do not release the wheel during turns; instead, move your hands along with the wheel's rotation, including when straightening it. Only in this way can steering and straightening actions be performed most accurately and quickly.

How many days does it usually take to learn reversing into the garage in Subject 2?

Generally, learning to reverse into the garage takes about 4 class hours per day, and it usually takes about a week to master, depending on individual circumstances. Criteria for reversing into the garage: Failing to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle going out of bounds, failing to enter the garage, or stopping midway results in disqualification; taking more than 4 minutes to complete the reversing into the garage results in disqualification. Standard garage dimensions: The standard dimensions for reversing into the garage in Subject 2 are a garage length of 5.25 meters and a width of 2.3 meters. No stopping during the test: There is no time limit for reversing into the garage, but it's important to note that stopping midway is not allowed. If the wheels remain stationary for 3 seconds, the system will judge it as stopping midway, so controlling the speed is crucial.

Why is Vehicle Modification Illegal?

Vehicle modification is not illegal; what is illegal is 'unauthorized vehicle modification'. Definition of Vehicle Modification: It refers to replacing, adding, or removing components of the original factory model or altering its appearance. Modifications within the legal limits are not against the law. Definition of Unauthorized Vehicle Modification: The new 'Road Traffic Safety Law' clearly stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. The structure of a vehicle includes four rigid standards: body color, length, width, height, and relevant technical parameters of the engine. Before modifying a licensed vehicle, one must register and declare the modification to the vehicle management office. The modification technical report must be reviewed and approved by the vehicle management office before the modification can proceed. After the modification is completed, one must also go to the vehicle management office to complete the modification change procedures and should proactively apply to the traffic management department for record filing.

What are the reasons for the engine warning light in the Tianlong KL465?

The reasons for the engine warning light in the Tianlong KL465 include sensor issues, poor fuel mixture combustion, and intake problems. Sensor issues: These include water temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, intake temperature sensor, and oxygen sensor. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. Poor fuel mixture combustion: Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can all lead to poor fuel mixture combustion in the engine. Poor combustion results in engine carbon buildup or knocking issues, which are eventually detected by the engine's oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, triggering the warning light as an alert. Intake problems: The engine requires air intake during combustion, making the air filter crucial. If the car's air filter is dirty and not cleaned regularly, it can affect the engine's air intake. Over time, this can lead to blockages and, in severe cases, cause the engine warning light to illuminate.

What is the solution for a newly designed car body being lower on the left and higher on the right?

The solution for a newly designed car body being lower on the left and higher on the right depends on the specific situation. If the difference between the two sides is not significant: First, check whether it is due to uneven tire pressure or uneven weight distribution on both sides of the vehicle. Simply inflating the tires at a repair shop can resolve the issue. If the tire is damaged and leaking, it should be replaced. If the difference is more pronounced: It may indicate a problem with suspension components such as shock absorbers. In this case, a mechanic should replace the shock absorbers. Often, this occurs when the suspension system has reached the end of its lifespan. At this point, the suspension system can no longer provide sufficient support for the car, and the solution is to replace both the shock absorbers and springs. At relatively high speeds: If the car body shakes, with the left side higher and the right side lower, you should visit a tire shop and have a mechanic perform a dynamic balance on all four tires.
