The dashboard continuously reflects the operational status of the vehicle's internal machinery. Simultaneously, it serves as the control center for certain equipment and an object of decoration, making it the most eye-catching component in the driver's cabin. The dashboard assembly combines both technical and artistic functions, representing one of the defining features of the vehicle's overall style. Expanded functions of the dashboard: Most car dashboards belong to the third generation, which can drive the instrument pointer via a stepper motor or directly display graphics or text information using an LCD screen. Additionally, it includes an intelligent processing unit capable of exchanging information with other vehicle control units.

How to Engage Reverse Gear in Volkswagen Santana?

To engage the reverse gear in a Santana, first press the gear lever downward in the neutral position, then pull it to the left and push it into the position of first gear. Precautions for engaging reverse gear in Santana: 1. Ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into reverse. Many experienced drivers, to showcase their driving skills, shift into reverse without fully stopping the vehicle, which can cause significant damage to the transmission. 2. Fully depress the clutch when shifting into reverse. If the clutch is not fully depressed, gear grinding may occur, characterized by a harsh grinding sound. Over time, this can wear down the gear teeth, leading to incomplete gear engagement. To avoid gear grinding, always depress the clutch fully. 3. Maintain slow speed when reversing and avoid pressing the accelerator. Especially for beginners, it's crucial to reverse slowly and avoid sudden acceleration. For automatic transmission vehicles, this can easily lead to accidents.

Is it normal for engine oil temperature to reach 100 degrees?

This is a normal situation. The normal operating temperature of oil is around 100 degrees. When driving at normal speeds, the cooling effect of the coolant reduces the oil temperature to around 80-90 degrees. However, at lower speeds, the effect of the coolant decreases, and the oil temperature rises (approximately 100 degrees). To check if the engine oil is overheating, mainly consider the following aspects: 1. Check if the oil level is sufficient and if the oil has deteriorated or contains too many impurities. 2. Check if the radiator is leaking. 3. Check if the electric fan is not working properly. 4. Check if the thermostat is functioning normally. 5. Check if the antifreeze is circulating poorly. 6. Check if the sensor is giving false readings. 7. Check if the piston ring seal is in good condition. 8. Check if other parts are mismatched, causing increased friction.

What is the solution for not burning urea?

The solution for not burning urea is: 1. Check whether the post-processing harness and sensors are in normal contact, and adjust or repair them in time if there are problems; 2. Check whether the urea pipeline is normal and whether there is any leakage. If there is, it needs to be replaced in time; 3. Check whether the urea pump is working normally. Once abnormal operation is found, the cause of the fault needs to be checked in time; 4. Check whether the urea nozzle is working normally. If the nozzle is found to be blocked or cannot be opened normally, it should be cleaned or replaced in time. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Automotive urea, also called exhaust treatment fluid, is a liquid used in SCR technology to reduce nitrogen oxide pollution in diesel vehicle exhaust. 2. If the vehicle does not burn urea, it means the SCR system is not working properly. Although it can save urea costs, the chemicals inside will quickly oxidize, and the urea nozzle will also become blocked, causing the entire system to be scrapped.

Where is the Jimny's four-wheel drive control box located?

Next to the front axle differential, there is a four-wheel drive control vacuum box. Here is some related information: 1. Introduction: The Jimny's four-wheel drive system is a part-time four-wheel drive, which uses a transfer case to distribute power to the front and rear axles. On the center console panel inside the vehicle, there are three buttons: 2WD, 4WD, and 4WD-L. The driver can switch between high-speed two-wheel drive, high-speed four-wheel drive, and low-speed four-wheel drive modes using these buttons. 2. Operation: When switching from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, the Jimny must be traveling at a speed below 100km/h and must be moving in a straight line, and vice versa. Switching between 4WD and 4WD-L must be done when the vehicle is stationary. In general, it is recommended to avoid switching to four-wheel drive while the vehicle is in motion.
