The battery of the new Passat generally lasts between 3 to 6 years. The lifespan of the battery depends on factors such as the vehicle's condition, configuration, and driving habits. To maximize the battery's lifespan, in addition to using a battery life extender to prevent and remove sulfation, it is also important to avoid deep discharge and maintain proper charge to prevent softening of the battery's positive plates. Below are some relevant details about the new Passat: 1. If you frequently park and listen to music or often drive short distances at low speeds, it is recommended to charge the car battery every two weeks. This practice will help extend the battery's lifespan and keep this crucial component in optimal working condition. 2. Avoid leaving the car parked in open parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent damage from freezing. Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply specialized grease to protect the wiring harness. Regularly inspect the battery's accessories and connecting circuits. Avoid using car electrical devices after the engine is turned off, as running the battery without the engine generating power can cause damage.

Consequences of Not Changing Power Steering Fluid?

Not changing the power steering fluid for an extended period can lead to heavier steering wheel feedback and deterioration of the power steering fluid. Below is additional information about power steering fluid: 1. Household vehicles are typically equipped with a power steering system, with three common types: electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS), electric power steering (EPS), and mechanical hydraulic power steering (MHPS). 2. Both mechanical hydraulic and electro-hydraulic power steering systems feature hydraulic mechanisms and require a power steering pump, which relies on power steering fluid to function properly. 3. In mechanical hydraulic systems, the power steering pump is driven by the engine, while in electro-hydraulic systems, it is driven by an electric motor. 4. Electric power steering systems do not have hydraulic mechanisms and thus do not require a power steering pump to provide assistance.

How to Reduce Excessive Tire Pressure?

When fully loaded, adjust according to the upper limit of the standard tire pressure for your vehicle; when half-loaded or empty, adjust according to the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. For long-distance highway driving, slightly increase the tire pressure by 0.2bar based on the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. For roads with significant bumps, reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2bar. In winter, it's advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, it can be slightly lower than the standard by about 0.1bar to prevent tire blowouts.

How to Handle Accident Repairs?

The two parties involved should negotiate and agree on a repair shop, proceed with the repairs, and obtain a repair order and invoice. Take photos of the accident scene (including skid marks on the road, traffic signs, etc.), and it's best to also photograph the driver involved with the vehicle. Check the other party's driver's license and vehicle documents, which include: license plate, annual inspection, vehicle registration, and compulsory traffic insurance. Both parties can then go to the designated traffic accident rapid processing center for damage assessment. After the assessment, prepay the repair costs according to each party's respective liability.

How to Prevent Stalling When Starting on a Steep Slope with a Manual Transmission?

Methods to prevent stalling when starting on a steep slope with a manual transmission: First, firmly engage the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling backward. Then, press the clutch pedal and shift into first gear. Slowly release the clutch pedal until the car body starts to vibrate, indicating that the clutch has reached the engagement point. At this moment, gradually press the accelerator pedal with your right foot while slowly releasing the clutch pedal with your left foot. When starting, the speed difference between the engine flywheel and the clutch disc is significant. If the clutch pedal is released too quickly at this point, the car will stall. Using the half-clutch technique during startup helps to gradually reduce the speed difference between the engine flywheel and the clutch disc, ensuring a smooth start.

Do tubeless tires still need to be inflated?

Tubeless tires require inflation. Tubeless tires do not have an inner tube, and all tires used on cars are tubeless. Here is some extended information about tires: 1. Tires are an important component of a car, as they affect the vehicle's driving stability and safety. Tires are the only part of the car that comes into contact with the ground. 2. Tires are made of rubber, and rubber products will wear out and age over time. Tires need to be replaced regularly. It is recommended to replace tires every four years. 3. When purchasing new tires, check the production date carefully. The shelf life of unused tires is three years. 4. After installing new tires, it is necessary to perform a dynamic balance test on each wheel to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving.
