Jetta uses specialized engine oil with the specification VW50200. Here is some information about Jetta engine oil: 1. Precautions: The viscosity of the engine oil used in Jetta should be 40, i.e., W-40. 5, 10, or 0 are all acceptable. 2. Composition: Jetta's engine oil can generally use mineral oil, although full synthetic is also excellent. Using full synthetic oil is not the reason for aggressive driving. If it's your own car, long-term aggressive driving can also harm the engine. It's better to use SL grade or above. It's best to avoid SG or SJ. Lower-grade oils contain more impurities, which can be harmful to the catalytic converter over time. SL-grade oil isn't much more expensive.

Why are pickup trucks not allowed in urban areas?

According to China's laws and regulations, pickup trucks are classified as light-duty ordinary trucks. Most major cities in China, including some second and third-tier cities, impose time and route restrictions on truck traffic. More details are as follows: 1. Pickup trucks entering urban areas may affect the city's image: Many cities prohibit pickup trucks from entering urban areas to maintain a good city image. Additionally, with increasing urban traffic pressure, measures are taken to restrict certain vehicle types. 2. Currently, different regions have varying restrictions on pickup trucks: For example, in Beijing, pickup trucks are managed as trucks and face certain traffic restrictions. From 6:00 to 23:00, freight motor vehicles are prohibited from operating, with specific road sections marked accordingly. For vehicles entering Beijing from other regions, an entry permit is required. 3. Some cities have lifted restrictions on pickup trucks: In recent years, cities such as Taiyuan, Changchun, Nanjing, Fuzhou, Zhengzhou, and Guangzhou have differentiated pickup trucks from other trucks and abolished restrictions on them. Some cities have gradually relaxed time and area restrictions for pickup trucks operating in urban areas.

How to Use the Handbrake When the Automatic Transmission Brakes Fail?

When you find that the vehicle's brakes have failed, first release the accelerator pedal and shift the gear to manual mode, then downshift from high gear to low gear. Automatic transmission vehicles generally do not have as noticeable braking effects as manual transmission vehicles when downshifting. Some models may even prohibit downshifting to protect the transmission. Therefore, you should downshift one gear at a time while using the handbrake to reduce speed before further downshifting. When pulling the handbrake, hold the release button and pull it intermittently, avoiding pulling it all the way at once. Below are the methods to handle brake failure while driving: 1. Identify the problem and slow down in time: It is crucial to develop good driving habits. Even when driving on flat roads, pay attention to the braking condition. Once you notice that the braking distance has increased or the brakes are not working properly, pull over or slow down immediately instead of continuing to drive at high speed. Vehicles on highways should stop in the emergency lane and call for assistance. 2. Use the handbrake wisely to control the vehicle: Before encountering continuous downhill or steep downhill sections, it is advisable to lightly tap the brakes to check their functionality. If the brakes fail, try using the handbrake to stop the car. When pulling the handbrake, avoid yanking it all the way or too quickly, as this may damage the handbrake or cause it to fail. Instead, apply gradual force and pull it slowly to the end. 3. Downshift appropriately to control speed: If the handbrake is slow to reduce speed or fails, promptly attempt to use forced downshifting (commonly known as "gear grabbing") to slow the vehicle with a lower gear. Once the speed decreases, combine it with the handbrake to bring the car to a gradual stop.

Can You Still Drive When the Tire Pressure Monitoring Alarm Goes Off?

Tire pressure monitoring alarm is not recommended to continue driving after. Here are the reasons for the tire pressure monitoring alarm: 1. Tire puncture: A tire puncture usually results in very slow air leakage, which can be measured with a tire pressure gauge. If the tire is low on air, immediately replenish it and then observe the tire pressure warning light. 2. Excessive tire pressure: The standard inflation pressure for passenger car tires is typically specified as follows: standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, when the tire pressure of any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it will trigger the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate.

Should You Shift to N or Keep in D When Waiting at a Red Light with an Automatic Transmission?

Shift to N gear when waiting at a red light with an automatic transmission. Here are specific details about automatic transmissions: 1. Starting and Initial Movement: When starting the engine of an automatic transmission car, the gear selector must be placed in the P or N position, and the handbrake must be engaged or the brake pedal depressed. 2. Driving on Flat Roads: While driving, the gear selector can be placed in the D position, and the transmission will automatically shift gears based on throttle input and vehicle speed. It is not the case that 'simply increasing the throttle opening from a D start will automatically shift to higher gears.' For novice drivers, the recommended technique is to ease off the throttle to prompt an upshift once the vehicle reaches a certain speed, and to press the throttle to prompt a downshift. 3. Driving on Slopes: For minor slopes, the D position can be used with the accelerator and brake pedals to control the vehicle's speed uphill and downhill. For longer or steeper slopes, novice drivers should shift the gear selector from D to S or L position.

How often should front and rear tires be replaced?

Car tires generally need to be replaced every 5 years or approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If the tires are severely worn, they must be replaced earlier. In cases where the tires show no issues, if the mileage reaches 80,000 kilometers, replacement is necessary even if the usage period hasn't reached 5 years. Tires may also be considered for replacement under the following conditions: 1. Wear level: Check the tread pattern on the tire surface. If the tread depth is less than 1.6 mm or aligns with the wear limit indicator, replacement is required. 2. Mileage: Generally, car tires need to be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. 3. Age: Tires older than 5 years will age at an increasingly faster rate. Even if the wear is not severe, replacement should still be considered.
