When a vehicle is in motion, as long as the gear is not in positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or R, it is considered neutral coasting. Related information: 1. Neutral coasting: Neutral coasting refers to the operation method where the driver shifts the gear lever to the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and allowing the vehicle to coast using its inertia. Neutral coasting must be performed under conditions that ensure safety and normal vehicle technical conditions. Engine-off coasting is not allowed, especially when descending steep or long slopes, where neither engine-off nor neutral coasting is permitted. 2. Impact: If the vehicle is already shifted to neutral while moving and emergency braking is applied, the chassis transmission system is not connected to the engine, and without the assistance of engine braking, the braking effect will be poor (especially for overloaded vehicles). This can cause the vehicle to lose balance and skid sideways, ultimately leading to an accident due to loss of control. Moreover, the harder and faster the braking is applied under such conditions, the worse the braking force becomes, and the more severe the skidding will be.

How to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring System in Volkswagen Lavida?

Volkswagen Lavida's tire pressure monitoring is not an active monitoring function. Only when there is an abnormality in the tire, the dashboard will automatically display information. The display does not show specific values, only indicating which tire has a problem. Lavida is the first A-class car independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen. Volkswagen Lavida not only maintains the excellent quality of German design but also incorporates many aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements. In terms of body line design, the waistline of the Volkswagen Lavida is quite sharp, while retaining a side profile similar to the Octavia. The advantage of this design is that it facilitates passengers getting on and off the rear seats, and the 2610mm wheelbase also ensures comfortable rear seating space.

Is it necessary to display the compulsory insurance decal on a car?

For cities that have implemented electronic insurance policies, it is not required to display the compulsory insurance decal on cars. However, in cities where electronic insurance policies have not been implemented, the compulsory insurance decal is still necessary. To make car usage more convenient for vehicle owners, various regions are gradually introducing electronic insurance policies. If electronic insurance policies are implemented locally, there is no need to obtain and display a paper decal, as the electronic policy can be used to verify whether the compulsory traffic insurance has been paid. Compulsory traffic insurance is a type of auto insurance that the state mandates vehicle owners to purchase. It is a compulsory insurance required by the state. Once a car is registered with the vehicle management office, it must display the annual inspection decal.

How to Deal with Odor in Car Air Conditioning's External Circulation Mode?

Solutions for odor in car air conditioning's external circulation mode: 1. Short-term odor might come from external air - simply turn off the external circulation; 2. Persistent odor may indicate mold/foreign objects in air intake ducts or a dirty cabin air filter, requiring filter replacement. Drivers should open windows or activate external circulation ventilation shortly after entering the vehicle to introduce fresh air, avoiding keeping windows completely closed. External circulation mode uses fans to draw outside air into the cabin, maintaining constant airflow between exterior and interior. The fan blows outside air, and even when inactive, vehicle movement creates natural airflow into the cabin to replenish fresh air.
