SM on a car refers to: S stands for Sport Mode, which provides faster acceleration from a standstill; M stands for Manual Mode. The functions of Sport Mode are: 1. Keeps the vehicle with sufficient torque to enhance power performance; 2. The suspension becomes stiffer, support force increases, throttle sensitivity improves, and engine intake increases; 3. High engine RPM also helps to remove carbon deposits from the engine. Manual Mode is generally used in situations such as going up or down slopes, overtaking, starting on icy or snowy roads, or in traffic jams. For example, when a car is going down a long slope, if it is in D (Drive) gear, the car's speed will increase due to inertia, and the driver needs to constantly use the brakes to control the speed.

Where is the air conditioning filter of the Familia located?

The air conditioning filter of the Familia is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Below is some relevant information about the Familia's air conditioning filter: 1. If you want to replace the air conditioning filter, you need to remove the glove box on the passenger side; only then can the replacement be done. 2. The air conditioning filter is a wear part that needs to be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, it can affect the health of the passengers in the car. 3. Severe blockage of the filter can increase the intake resistance and reduce the engine's power. At the same time, due to the increased air resistance, it can also increase the amount of gasoline drawn in, leading to an overly rich mixture ratio, which worsens the engine's operating condition, increases fuel consumption, and makes it easier to produce carbon deposits. It is advisable to develop the habit of frequently checking the air filter element.

What to Do When the Volkswagen Tiguan's Electronic Parking Brake Won't Release?

Reasons and solutions for the Volkswagen Tiguan's electronic parking brake not releasing are as follows: 1. Issues with the electronic parking brake system. Solution: First, use a diagnostic computer to check for error codes. If there are any, note them down. If there are none, disconnect the battery cables and let the system sit for about 5-10 minutes before reconnecting and testing again. If there's still no effect, the brake actuator might be faulty. 2. Parking immediately after washing the car in winter, causing the brake disc, brake pads, and calipers to freeze together. Solution: Pour boiling water over them to thaw. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction between the brake disc and pads to control parking braking, except that the control method has changed from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Polo?

The fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Polo is 42.5L, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Volkswagen Polo can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Volkswagen Polo uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 772km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
