95: Indicates the load index (the corresponding load capacity for this index is 690kg). V: Indicates the maximum speed must not exceed 240KM/H. W represents a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour. Below are some related introductions about tire maintenance: 1. Perform wheel alignment and tire rotation: After every 10,000 kilometers traveled, wheel alignment and tire rotation should be performed. 2. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire maintenance also includes regular pressure checks. Tires with pressure exceeding the specified level will significantly reduce their service life, while tires with pressure below the specified level will lead to poorer braking performance, steering difficulties or heavy steering, and also reduce the tire's service life.

What grade of gasoline should a Volkswagen CC use?

Volkswagen CC should use 95-octane gasoline, as recommended in the vehicle's official owner's manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the owner's manual, you can also find it marked on the fuel tank cap. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade. A high compression ratio can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline, as factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If a Volkswagen CC occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-octane gasoline, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-octane gasoline, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on the pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

Is running a red light due to traffic signal malfunction considered a violation?

Running a red light due to traffic signal malfunction is not considered a violation. If the red light violation was indeed caused by objective reasons such as traffic signal malfunction, you can file an appeal for reconsideration. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic monitoring devices capture three photos as evidence for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signals, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as you might not be able to stop in time and could cross the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

What are the symptoms and repair methods for a faulty diesel fuel pump?

Fuel pump damage will cause the car to fail to operate normally. The main manifestations of fuel pump damage include the collapse of the fuel supply system and the inability to start the vehicle. Check the car engine computer, read the measured value block, and select "589". The normal value is usually around 3.8 kPa.
