ASPS stands for Anti-Submarining Protection System. Here is the relevant introduction: Anti-Submarining Protection System: The Anti-Submarining Protection System is designed with a rear-end sinking plate structure under the seat to prevent passengers from sliding forward during sudden braking, which could cause injuries to the neck and spine. Function of the Anti-Submarining System: The most important function of ASPS is that during a frontal collision, in conjunction with the seatbelt, it keeps the passenger firmly in the seat and generates a downward force to prevent forward sliding. This reduces the risk of greater injuries caused by the legs hitting the dashboard or the head and chest hitting the steering wheel due to forward sliding. This demonstrates how crucial this ergonomically designed seat is.

What to Do When the Sponge in Car Seats Gets Wet?

Here are the solutions when the sponge in car seats gets wet: 1. Before the liquid completely soaks in, use items like tissues or towels to quickly wipe away excess water, then avoid squeezing to prevent the liquid from seeping further down. 2. If the liquid hasn't soaked in too much, you can consider using a hairdryer to dry it after heating, then place desiccants on the seat surface when the car is unoccupied. However, avoid using quicklime as a desiccant to prevent unnecessary trouble caused by heat generation when it comes into contact with water. 3. If it's summer, you can consider parking the car under the sun, then laying black canvas on the seats. The absorbed heat will raise the seat temperature, speeding up water evaporation, and open the car windows to let the moisture out. 4. If too much liquid has soaked in and you can't handle it yourself, you can take it to a repair shop for professional treatment.

What are the consequences of receiving penalty points on an A1 driver's license?

a1 driver's license holders must attend a 3-hour theoretical study session at the vehicle management office within 15 days after the registration date ends if they receive penalty points. Driver's licenses are categorized into Class A, Class B, and Class C licenses. The cumulative penalty point cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the penalty point cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points. If all 12 points are deducted within this cycle, a Class C license will be suspended, requiring the holder to retake the test. For Class A and Class B licenses, the holder must attend a study session. Specific details are as follows: Class A and Class B Licenses: If a Class A or Class B license holder receives any penalty points, even just 1 point, within the penalty point cycle, they must attend a 3-hour theoretical study session at the vehicle management office within 15 days after the registration date ends and provide a physical examination certificate, i.e., annual review, otherwise the driver's license will become invalid and will be revoked after three cycles. This does not apply to receiving 12 points during the probationary period. If 6 points are received during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If 6 points are received consecutively for two years, the license will be directly downgraded. Regardless of the penalty point cycle, receiving 12 points will result in an immediate downgrade. Class C Licenses: If less than 12 points are received within a cycle, the points for a Class C license will be reset to zero, and no study session is required. If all 12 points are deducted within a cycle, the Class C license will be suspended, and the holder must retake the test.

What is the working principle of Exhaust Gas Recirculation?

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system works to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOX) in the exhaust gases. Below is an introduction to the EGR system: 1. The EGR valve controls the amount of exhaust gas flowing back from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold through three metering orifices of increasing diameters, creating seven different flow combinations. Each metering orifice consists of a solenoid valve and a needle valve. When the solenoid is energized, the armature is pulled upward by the magnet, opening the metering orifice. The rotary needle valve ensures good sealing when the EGR valve is closed. 2. The EGR valve typically opens under the following conditions: (1) When the engine is warm and running. (2) When the engine speed exceeds idle. 3. The ECM controls the EGR system based on inputs from the engine coolant temperature sensor, throttle position sensor, and air flow sensor.

Why does the Passat have high RPM but low speed?

The Passat's engine RPM is high, but the speed does not increase. This may be due to issues with the clutch or transmission, where the power generated by the engine is not being transmitted to the wheels. Here are the specific details: 1. The power generated by the engine is first transmitted to the clutch. If the clutch plate is severely worn or the clutch pressure plate spring is damaged, it can result in the power (RPM) not being fully output, causing a mismatch between the power generated by the engine and the power output. 2. If the transmission is not engaged in the corresponding gear (e.g., the gear lever is in the 5th gear position, but the transmission gears are only engaged in the 2nd gear position), this issue can also occur.

How to Turn Off a Keyless Start Car?

To turn off a keyless start car, follow these steps: 1. Press the brake pedal and bring the vehicle to a complete stop; 2. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral); 3. Engage the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply pull up the lever); 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power (this ensures the car is fully stopped by the handbrake, preventing P (Park) gear lock); 5. Continue pressing the foot brake and shift the gear from N to P; 6. Release the foot brake and press the start/stop button to turn off the power and complete the shutdown. Note: In case of an emergency while driving, you can turn off the engine by pressing the start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively.
