Can I still drive when '1N5P' is displayed?

When '1N5P' appears on the car dashboard, you can still continue driving. Here is more information about '1N5P': 1. The '1N5P' displayed on the car dashboard is the maintenance reminder 'INSP', an abbreviation for inspection in English. This indicates that the vehicle's maintenance cycle has been reached, and it's time for maintenance. 2. Some car models, such as Volkswagen and Skoda, will display '1N5P' when maintenance is due, reminding the owner to replace the engine oil, oil filter, check the air conditioning filter, etc. Methods to clear the maintenance reminder: 1. Turn off the ignition; 2. Press and hold the SET button on the right side of the dashboard; 3. Turn on the ignition without starting the car; 4. Release the SET button, then press the button on the left side of the dashboard for about one second to reset the value; 5. Alternatively, drive directly to a 4S shop for vehicle maintenance and ask the technician to reset it, and the '1N5P' on the dashboard will disappear.

How to engage S mode in Golf 7?

To engage S mode in the Golf 7, simply push the gear lever into the S position. S mode is the vehicle's sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely with delayed shift timing, allowing the engine to maintain higher RPMs for extended periods. This enables the car to operate at lower gears with higher RPMs for prolonged durations, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. The Golf 7 is a compact car with body dimensions of 4255mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1451mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2637mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 501 liters, and a curb weight of 1260kg.

Can the Transmission Noise in Magotan Be Resolved?

Magotan transmission noise can be resolved. The causes of transmission noise include: 1. Transmission bearings often operate under high-speed and heavy-load conditions and endure significant alternating loads; 2. During gear meshing, sliding friction exists from the tooth top to the tooth root; 3. Bearing wear leading to looseness, shaft deformation, or housing deformation causing changes in the center distance between meshing gears and misalignment of axes; 4. Wear on the sliding key slots of the shaft and the internal spline slots of the sliding gears; 5. Loose fastening bolts in the control mechanism and wear or deformation of the shift fork, resulting in gear displacement. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1471mm in height, a wheelbase of 2871mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a curb weight of 1445kg.

What is the difference between DM and EV?

DM and EV differ in their power sources: DM stands for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, while EV refers to pure electric vehicles. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is one whose drive system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The vehicle's driving power is provided by either one of these systems alone or collectively, depending on the actual driving conditions. Pure electric vehicles are driven by an electric motor, which is powered by a battery pack. Their defining characteristic is that they can only be refueled by charging. Pure electric vehicles do not have an internal combustion engine; instead, they are equipped with an electric motor, battery pack, onboard charger, control unit, and other components. They use charged battery power to drive the vehicle instead of gasoline, eliminating the need for a gasoline engine. As a result, they produce no exhaust emissions during operation and generate significantly lower noise and vibration levels compared to gasoline-powered vehicles.
