Under what circumstances is a U-turn not allowed? 1. Intersections with a no U-turn sign prohibit U-turns. If a U-turn is made at such an intersection and is captured by cameras or caught by traffic police, you will lose 3 points on your license. 2. Intersections with a no left turn sign also prohibit U-turns. If there is a 'no left turn' sign, it means U-turns are not allowed either, unless there is an additional explicit 'U-turn permitted' sign at the intersection, in which case you may perform a U-turn as indicated. 3. If the leftmost lane has a straight arrow, U-turns are not allowed. Traffic regulations state that U-turns are permitted at locations without no U-turn or no left turn signs or markings. However, you must check whether the center line on the ground in the U-turn lane is dashed. If it is solid, U-turns are not allowed; if it is dashed, U-turns are permitted. If it is a double yellow line, check whether your side is dashed. If it is dashed, U-turns are allowed; otherwise, they are not permitted.

How to Fold the Side Mirrors on the Volkswagen Viloran?

Rotate the control knob clockwise to the folding icon at the lower right position. Below is relevant information about car mirrors: 1. Mirror Introduction: The auto-folding mirror function was originally a standard feature on luxury vehicles. With the rise of domestic brands, this configuration has now become mainstream standard equipment. Automatically folding the mirrors after turning off the engine can effectively prevent mirror scratches. When encountering oncoming traffic on narrow roads, drivers can fold the mirrors without leaving the vehicle. It can be said that the mirror folding function is a highly practical feature. 2. Classification: Based on installation position, mirrors are divided into side mirrors (wing mirrors), under-mirrors, and rearview mirrors. By purpose, side mirrors reflect the rear sides of the vehicle, under-mirrors show the area below the front of the car, and rearview mirrors display the rear and interior conditions. Different purposes result in variations in mirror structure.

What are the three functions of a transmission?

The three main functions of a transmission: 1. Change the transmission ratio: This alters the vehicle's driving speed and the torque on the driving wheels, allowing the engine to operate under the most favorable conditions. During driving, the engine works in different states to meet environmental needs due to varying surroundings. 2. Enable reverse driving: In real-life situations, vehicles often need to move backward. However, the engine's crankshaft can only rotate in one direction. Reverse driving is achieved through the transmission, which includes a reverse gear, enabling the vehicle to move in reverse. 3. Interrupt power transmission and achieve neutral gear: When the clutch is engaged, the transmission does not output power. Similarly, when the clutch is disengaged but the transmission is in neutral, it also does not output power. This function allows the driver to leave the driver's seat without turning off the engine. The transmission's ability to interrupt power transmission is also used when starting the engine, shifting gears, or when the vehicle needs to stop.

Should the Volkswagen Santana use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official car manual recommendation, the Volkswagen Santana should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the car manual, the Volkswagen Santana can also check it on the fuel tank cap, which will also be marked. Usually, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine compression ratio. Cars with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should choose 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should choose 95 octane gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies nowadays, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower-grade gasoline. This is because, apart from the compression ratio, there are other influencing factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Volkswagen Santana occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct gasoline grade after use. However, if the wrong gasoline grade is used for a long time, the following effects may occur: For vehicles recommended to use lower-grade gasoline, using higher-grade gasoline by mistake will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, and the actual feedback experience is reduced power. For vehicles recommended to use higher-grade gasoline, using lower-grade gasoline will cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the fuel's ignition point decreases and may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites during the compression stroke, resistance will appear during the upward stroke. This resistance will make the engine run very unstably. If it is only slight knocking, the noise will increase, but the damage to the engine is not obvious. If there is obvious knocking, it indicates that the engine's condition is already very severe. The vibration not only affects driving stability but also causes abnormal wear of the piston and cylinder, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring may occur.

How to Turn on the Air Conditioning After the Car Has Been Exposed to the Sun?

After the car has been exposed to the sun, it is necessary to fully open the windows or doors to allow the harmful gases inside the car to completely dissipate, creating a relatively normal environment inside the vehicle. Only when the interior temperature has dropped is the best time to turn on the air recirculation mode. Here is some additional information: 1. External Circulation: In this mode, the fan draws air from outside the car into the interior, meaning there is a flow of air between the outside and inside of the car. The air blown by the fan comes from outside, and even if the fan is not turned on, air will still be drawn into the car while driving, replenishing the fresh air inside. Sometimes, you may feel air coming in even when the fan is off—this is because the external circulation mode is set. 2. Internal Circulation: In this mode, the airflow passage between the inside and outside of the car is closed. Without the fan, there is no airflow circulation, and when the fan is turned on, the air drawn in comes only from inside the car, creating an internal airflow cycle. The internal circulation mode is mainly used to effectively and promptly block external dust and harmful gases from entering the car, such as when driving through areas with smoke, dust, strong odors, or when driving in heavy traffic where harmful exhaust fumes from the car in front need to be blocked.

How to Use the Windshield Washer?

The windshield washer control is usually located next to the steering wheel, and activating it typically involves lifting the wiper lever upward. Here are the details: 1. Function: Windshield washer fluid is a common automotive product that every car owner will encounter during vehicle use. The washer fluid needs to be added to the washer fluid reservoir, which is located in the engine compartment. Windshield washer fluid has cleaning and antifreeze functions, helping to remove dirt and dust from the windshield, thereby ensuring clear driving visibility. 2. Antifreeze: The antifreeze feature prevents the washer fluid from freezing during winter use. If the washer fluid freezes, it may damage the reservoir or the piping system. When liquids freeze, their volume expands, which can easily lead to reservoir damage. Some low-quality washer fluids lack antifreeze properties, so it's important to choose a product with a sufficiently low freezing point for winter use.
