Volkswagen Tharu automatic transmission gear positions are as follows: 1. P (Parking gear): When this gear is engaged, the transmission locking mechanism starts working, so it can only be engaged after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. 2. R (Reverse gear): Can only be engaged when the car is stationary. 3. N (Neutral gear): The torque converter is in idle state, and power cannot be transmitted to the planetary gears. Neutral gear is used for short-term parking. 4. D (Drive gear): Used when the vehicle is moving forward. The drive gear is located below the neutral gear. 5. S (Sport gear): The transmission shifts later, and the engine speed increases for better power response. Sport mode can be used when overtaking. 6. Manual mode: When in "D" gear position, push the gear lever to the right, then move the gear shift up to shift up and down to shift down.

When driving the Volkswagen Tharu automatic transmission, the gear design is very user-friendly. The P (Park) gear is for parking or turning off the engine; the R (Reverse) gear is used for reversing; the N (Neutral) gear is for idling, such as during long red lights, to save fuel; the D (Drive) gear is the driving mode, commonly used for daily driving, as it automatically shifts gears, making it effortless and worry-free; the S (Sport) mode delays gear shifts when the accelerator is deeply pressed, providing more aggressive acceleration; there is also a manual mode, where gear shifts can be freely adjusted using the steering wheel paddles, and lower gears can be used to help control speed when descending mountain roads in rural areas. It is recommended for beginners to start with the D gear and try manual shifting for fun after becoming familiar with the car, but be aware that frequent use of the S mode may slightly increase fuel consumption. The Tharu's transmission responds quickly and is suitable for various road conditions, making driving more relaxed.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring located?

Tire pressure monitoring is located at the tire valve core or on the wheel hub. When installing a tire pressure monitor, special attention must be paid to the sensor's installation position. The function of the tire pressure monitoring system is to automatically monitor the tire pressure in real-time during driving and to alert the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure, ensuring driving safety. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance. Additionally, they are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

What items are replaced during a vehicle's first maintenance?

During a vehicle's first maintenance, the engine oil and oil filter are replaced. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Vehicle maintenance, also referred to as vehicle servicing, involves regular preventive work such as inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. It mainly includes maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc., aiming to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, and extend the service life.

How to Turn on Both Front and Rear Fog Lights Simultaneously?

The method to simultaneously turn on both front and rear fog lights is: rotate the light control knob to the "position light" or "low beam" position, then pull the knob outward to the second position. At this time, both the front and rear fog lights of the vehicle will be turned on. Fog lights generally refer to automotive fog lights, which are installed at the front and rear of the car. Because visibility is low in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. In addition to the front high beam, low beam, headlights, and parking lights, and the rear running lights and brake lights, most cars also have a set of anti-fog lights in an inconspicuous place at the rear. The rear fog light is a red signal light installed at the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for other road traffic participants behind the vehicle to detect it in environments with low visibility such as fog, snow, rain, or dust. It has a higher luminous intensity than the tail lights.

How long does it take for newly replaced brake pads to break in?

Newly replaced brake pads require a break-in period of 200 kilometers to achieve optimal braking performance. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a vehicle's braking system, playing a decisive role in the effectiveness of all braking actions. Typically, brake pads consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, with the coating process monitored by an SMT4 oven temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting temperature distribution. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. The friction block is composed of friction materials and adhesives, which are pressed against the brake disc or drum during braking to create friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.
