It is necessary to distinguish whether the Volkswagen tail light is not lit individually, which may be caused by a bulb failure, or if all are not lit, which may be due to a circuit issue. If one fog light is on and the other is off, this is a normal phenomenon. Identification methods: All reverse lights are white. Reverse lights are installed at the rear of the car to illuminate the road behind and warn vehicles and pedestrians behind that the car is reversing. Reverse lights are all white. Reverse lights do not have an independent switch; they are all linked to the reverse gear and do not require separate operation. The rear fog lights are parallel. Fog lights are used in foggy weather as light signals, as they have stronger penetration in fog. The symbol for rear fog lights is slightly different from that of front fog lights: the front fog light symbol has downward light lines, while the rear fog light symbol is parallel. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not produce diffuse reflection because of fog, so correct usage can effectively prevent accidents. Cause analysis: There are many reasons why car lights may not be on, and given the complexity of car circuits, any issues should be promptly checked and repaired at an auto repair shop.

Can license plates be replaced on vehicles in use?

Yes, under the following conditions: 1. You must own two vehicles: License plate numbers cannot be changed at will as they serve as a vehicle's 'ID number' with significant responsibilities. If you own two cars and are dissatisfied with one of the license plates, you may apply to change it. However, most people likely own just one car since vehicles are consumables, and the cost difference between maintaining two versus one is substantial. 2. Both vehicles' license plates are either odd or even-numbered: Simply owning two cars doesn't automatically qualify you for a plate swap. Many regions now implement odd-even license plate restrictions. If both household vehicles share the same parity (odd/even), this could disrupt daily usage. Therefore, such owners may apply to change one plate to alternate usage days.

Can Electric Vehicles Be Charged at Charging Piles on Rainy Days?

Electric vehicles can be charged at charging piles on rainy days, but it is advisable to avoid charging during rain. Here are some relevant details about charging electric vehicles at charging piles: 1. During the construction of charging piles, waterproof materials are applied to the base, ensuring that the lower 20-30 cm of the charging pile body has flood-resistant capabilities; 2. Most charging piles are made of SMC fiberglass material, which ensures long-term outdoor use and resistance to complex weather conditions; 3. Manufacturers use insulating materials at the charging pile interfaces. Although charging during rain may pose risks due to quality issues, such incidents are rare. Even though charging piles are equipped with waterproof materials, it is recommended not to charge during rainy conditions.

Why Shouldn't You Coast in Neutral When Going Downhill?

When coasting in neutral, the vehicle loses the engine's braking effect. During downhill descent, gravity causes the car to accelerate progressively. Without engine braking, the braking distance increases significantly, meaning the effectiveness of the brakes is greatly reduced, putting the vehicle in an uncontrolled state and creating serious safety hazards. Below are the dangers of coasting in neutral: 1. Impaired braking performance: When coasting in neutral, the engine is dragged along by the vehicle's inertia, causing the drive wheels to lose restraint. This can lead to uncontrolled acceleration downhill. Relying solely on the braking system for deceleration rapidly increases brake pad temperatures, severely reducing braking efficiency and potentially causing brake failure—an extremely hazardous situation. 2. Transmission damage risk: Transmissions come in manual and automatic variants. For manual transmissions, neutral coasting keeps the engine at idle while the spinning drive wheels rotate transmission gears at high speed, creating rotational speed differences. Prolonged operation causes inadequate lubrication, damaging the transmission. For automatic transmissions, neutral coasting similarly generates excessive heat. Automatic transmissions rely on oil pumps circulating fluid through radiators for cooling. If heat dissipation is insufficient, the automatic transmission risks overheating and failure.
