Volkswagen T-Roc's one-touch window lift can be matched with the key to achieve remote control long-press of the lock button to close all four door windows, including the sunroof. Long-pressing the unlock button will automatically open all four door windows, including the sunroof. This feature is quite useful in hot summers. You can also adjust the unlock horn to sound once and the lock horn to sound twice. The number of flashes for the hazard lights can also be adjusted among other hidden features. Below are the specific details: 1. Interior: The T-Roc still features the familiar Volkswagen family design style, with a conventional T-shaped layout for the dashboard, focusing mainly on simplicity and practicality. The decorative panel spanning the dashboard can be customized with individual color options, meeting the personalized needs of different consumers. The 8-inch central control screen supports Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife, with fine display and sensitive touch controls, making it simple and convenient to use without much difficulty. 2. Powertrain: (1) The T-Roc offers two engine options: 1.2T and 1.4T. The 1.2T (200TSI) engine has a maximum power of 85kW (116PS), paired with a 5-speed manual transmission; (2) The 1.4T low-power version (230TSI) engine has a maximum power of 96kW (131PS), paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; (3) The 1.4T high-power version (280TSI) engine has a maximum power of 110kW (150PS), paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and offers four-wheel-drive models equipped with the 4MOTION system.

After driving the T-Roc for almost three years, I've discovered many practical hidden features. Remember that holding down the lock button can automatically roll up the windows and close the sunroof, saving you the hassle of running back to the car to close them in summer. After turning off the engine and removing the key, the steering wheel locks itself, which is quite thoughtful for anti-theft. When adjusting the mirrors, if you switch to the right mirror position while reversing, it automatically tilts down to show the ground, preventing wheel rim scratches during roadside parking. The rearview mirror also has an anti-glare feature at night, automatically dimming when dazzled by the high beams of the car behind. The child safety lock is located in a recess on the side of the rear door; turning it with a key prevents the door from being opened from the outside. A little-known trick for replacing wiper blades is to lift them up by pressing the wiper lever immediately after turning off the engine. You can also permanently disable the auto start-stop feature by tweaking a hidden setting, saving you from turning it off every time you start the car. By the way, pressing the remote unlock button once opens only the driver's door, and pressing it twice unlocks all doors, which feels safer for women picking up their car at night.

Can New Energy Vehicles Charge Outdoors in the Rain?

New energy vehicles can charge outdoors in the rain. Here are the details: 1. Reason: Electric vehicles can charge outdoors during rain because their charging ports are designed to be waterproof, making it safe to charge in wet conditions. However, even though charging is possible, appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent electric leakage hazards. 2. Precautions: Choose a high, non-flooded parking spot. Select an elevated parking space for charging to avoid battery submersion. If there is standing water in the charging area, charging is prohibited. Use an umbrella throughout the process. Before connecting, carefully check the charging port and connector for any water or debris, and clean or wipe them before proceeding. For safety, use an umbrella to shield the charging gun and port from rainwater. When unplugging the charging gun, prevent rainwater from splashing into the gun head, and always keep the gun nozzle facing downward while moving it.

What does it mean for a vehicle to not qualify for inspection exemption?

Vehicles that do not qualify for inspection exemption are those involved in major traffic accidents during the exemption period and thus cannot enjoy the exemption. Below are the specific details: 1. Prepare all required documents: Such as the annual inspection application form, which must bear the traffic department's seal, company stamp or personal signature and ID copy, and must include body chassis and engine steel imprint rubbings. Additionally, bring the vehicle registration certificate and insurance policy. Any violation records must be settled, otherwise the application will not be accepted. 2. Inspection schedule: Inspections are required every two years within the first six years, with new vehicles exempt from online annual inspections. After six years, inspections are required annually, with the inspection month based on the registration month shown on the vehicle registration certificate. 3. Safety inspection: Includes front and rear axle weight, foot brake, hand brake, suspension, side slip, etc., all measured with precise data to determine if the vehicle meets standards, as well as lighting, headlight brightness and angle. If any item fails, re-inspection is allowed within the stipulated time.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Range Rover?

According to official specifications, the Range Rover has a maximum wading depth of 900mm. Common tire specifications include 275/40R22, 235/65R19, and 255/55R20. The vehicle height measures 1869mm and 1868mm respectively, with body configurations available as either a 5-door 5-seat SUV or a 5-door 4-seat SUV. Maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely traverse. Generally, sedans have a maximum wading depth not exceeding 300mm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water, though it's advisable not to exceed 500mm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 700mm, the Audi A4 at 320mm, the Volkswagen Sagitar at 700mm, the Ford Everest at 800mm, the Jeep Compass at 800mm, and the Toyota Highlander at 455mm. SUVs typically exhibit higher wading depths than sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the water depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as detailed below: When water reaches the exhaust pipe level, the vehicle remains in a safe state. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the internal pressure can expel it. As long as the engine isn't turned off in the water, no backflow will occur into the vehicle body. When water reaches the door frame level, the situation becomes hazardous. Most electrical circuits, electronic components, and sensors are located at the vehicle's base, risking short circuits that could damage critical electrical parts and prevent normal engine startup. When water reaches the air intake level, it poses extreme danger. Driving directly into such conditions may cause immediate engine stalling, resulting in permanent engine damage or complete failure.

What additional wiring is needed for the 187b to display vehicle information?

187b displays vehicle information with protocol wiring. Here are the detailed specifications: 1. Introduction 1: The 187b itself does not have the function to display vehicle information and requires a protocol box. The forward version comes with its own protocol, and installing the 187B only requires connecting two protocol wires. With protocol support, the 187b can display reversing trajectories, indicate which specific door is not closed, and synchronize some information from the instrument panel onto the 187b. 2. Introduction 2: The 187b can use Apple CarPlay and Baidu Carlife to achieve in-car mapping functions. Baidu Maps can display traffic conditions and navigation routes in great detail. The Bluetooth interface is more user-friendly, allowing for voice dialing. After connecting to CarPlay, the main page becomes the phone page, and Siri can read messages, make calls on behalf of the user, etc.

What happens if you lock the car without turning off the engine?

Locking the car without turning off the engine may prevent the car from being locked. Here are the specific details: 1. Window closing function after turning off the engine: Many car keys now come with a feature that allows the windows to close automatically after turning off the engine. Simply press the lock button once, and the windows will close automatically. Some models require holding the lock button to achieve this. 2. Automatic trunk opening: Some cars allow you to open the trunk by pressing the trunk button twice, while others require holding the trunk control button to open it. 3. Remote window opening: During summer, when the car interior is stuffy, you can use the remote to open all windows before getting in. This helps release the hot air inside the car before driving. 4. Opening a single door: In chaotic situations where entering the car might be risky if all doors are opened at once, you can set the system to open only the driver's door with one press and all doors with two presses.

What is the reason for the inability to read OBD during vehicle inspection?

It could be due to instrument malfunction or insufficient data. The specific details are as follows: 1. Appearance conditions: The OBD interface is generally a 16-pin female connector with a trapezoidal shape. Some vehicle models have a protective cover on the OBD port, and common OBD interfaces are black, white, or blue. 2. Information processing capability: OBD continuously monitors systems and components such as the engine, catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensor, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc. It then connects to the ECU through various emission-related component information. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes, and issues a warning through the fault light to inform the driver. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.
