This wrench symbol is the maintenance reminder light; if your car requires servicing, this indicator will illuminate. After completing the car maintenance, it will turn off following a specific procedure. Here are some relevant details: 1. The purpose of this feature is to remind the driver to service the vehicle after it has been driven a certain distance. In other words, when this light stays on for an extended period, it's time to visit the 4S shop for maintenance. Different car models from various manufacturers have varying maintenance intervals, so always refer to the vehicle's user manual. After maintenance is completed, there is a reset procedure to clear the maintenance light. If not reset, the indicator will remain lit even after servicing. 2. The goal of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down deterioration, and extend the vehicle's lifespan.

Is Volkswagen's Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission Durable?

Overall, it is not very durable. The introduction of the dry dual-clutch transmission is as follows: 1. The dry clutch was relatively durable more than a decade ago, but as modern car engines produce increasingly higher power output, the inherent flaw of insufficient heat dissipation in dry clutches has become more apparent. 2. Since the dry dual-clutch operates in an exposed environment, its heat dissipation relies on a few small holes in the clutch housing. However, during driving, the transmission frequently shifts gears, which necessitates constant engagement of the clutch. 3. Prolonged low-speed driving and excessively frequent starts and stops cause the clutch temperature to rise continuously. At low speeds, the air flow efficiency is poor, making it difficult to effectively dissipate the heat from the clutch. This leads to a continuous increase in internal clutch temperature, accelerating wear and tear.

Does Overloading Include Infants?

Private car passenger capacity is determined by the number of occupants specified on the vehicle registration certificate. Traffic regulations regarding overloading do not specify requirements for passengers' height, weight, or age, but only regulate the 'quantity'. Therefore, in a 5-seat car, having one additional child (even an infant held in parents' arms) constitutes overloading. Here are relevant details: 1. According to the 'Ministry of Public Security Decision on Amending the Regulations for Applying and Using Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses', carrying one extra child in a 5-seat private vehicle is considered overloading, which at 20% over capacity results in a 6-point penalty. 2. Under new traffic regulations, for passenger vehicles other than commercial transport vehicles (excluding buses) and school buses, overloading below 20% incurs a 3-point penalty, while exceeding 20% results in a 6-point penalty.

Promptly check tire pressure; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspect front wheel alignment; 6. Adopt careful driving habits by choosing smooth road surfaces, avoiding objects that could puncture or scratch the tires, and steering clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires. The functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the vehicle's entire weight and bearing its load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing shocks and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Enhancing high-speed performance while reducing driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What is the maintenance interval for the Chevrolet Trax?

The maintenance interval for the Chevrolet Trax is 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about the Chevrolet Trax maintenance: Maintenance details for the Chevrolet Trax: According to the warranty and maintenance manual for the TRAX, the warranty covers all components on the vehicle within the warranty scope. However, unlike other manufacturers, Chevrolet does not specify the warranty period for wear-and-tear parts such as filters, brake pads, wipers, tires, and belts. Many car owners often overlook this part when purchasing a vehicle, and it is hoped that Chevrolet will provide clear regulations in the manual. Maintenance intervals for various parts of the Chevrolet Trax: The official manual stipulates that the engine oil and oil filter for the TRAX should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. The air filter, fuel filter, and cabin air filter need to be replaced at 10,000 kilometers, and thereafter every 20,000 kilometers. The brake fluid should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers, and the spark plugs every 60,000 kilometers. It should be noted that the timing chain for all TRAX models does not require maintenance.

How to Use the Lavida's Air Conditioning?

Lavida's air conditioning operation is as follows: 1. Temperature adjustment via rotary knob - turning left or right adjusts the temperature. Pressing MAX activates automatic front windshield defogging, while the button below is for rear window heating. 2. Airflow adjustment - rotate left or right to select the appropriate airflow level. The upper button controls the internal circulation; when lit, it indicates the internal circulation mode is active. 3. The left and right rotation adjusts the air direction - directing air to the windshield, front, or feet. AUTO represents the automatic air conditioning mode, and pressing AC manually turns on the air conditioning. Extended knowledge about air conditioning: The refrigerant continuously circulates within the system, with each cycle including four processes: compression, condensation, throttling, and evaporation. When the user turns on the A/C switch, the engine drives the compressor to start working, forcing the refrigerant to circulate within the sealed air conditioning system. The compressor compresses the gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas before discharging it from the compressor.
