CAR stands for car, and the CAR button is used to quickly open the car system settings interface. Here are some introductions about the CAR button: 1. Pressing this button can make the multimedia central control screen immediately switch to display the car system interface. In this interface, you can make various settings for the car, including seat and air conditioning adjustments. 2. More functions such as driving mode selection, parking assistance system, settings and services, etc. With technological updates, the CAR button may access more settings, such as the monitoring settings page brought by the integration of workshop monitoring. 3. Currently, the CAR button is mostly a mechanical button, and a small part is a touch screen button.

Last time I drove my friend's new Volkswagen, there was a CAR button on the steering wheel. After studying it for a while, I realized it was the entry point to control the central touchscreen. Opening it was like a smartphone's main menu—you could adjust the dashboard style, set ambient lighting colors, and even turn off the annoying auto start-stop. However, the function layout varies in different cars, so I suggest you find an open area to explore it slowly. Never look down at the screen while driving—safety first! Nowadays, many cars love using such integrated buttons, packing 20 to 30 functions into one menu, which definitely requires an adaptation period.

What Are the Causes of Vehicle Body Shaking During Acceleration?

Vehicle body shaking during acceleration is caused by: 1. Dirty throttle body; 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors; 3. Excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold; 4. Engine malfunction; 5. Insufficient cylinder pressure; 6. Faulty drive shaft; 7. Malfunction in the fuel system; 8. Aging engine components; 9. Ignition system failure. Solutions for car acceleration shaking include: 1. Replacing filters: including oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter, which can improve filtration efficiency, reduce impurities, and ensure more complete engine combustion; 2. Cleaning carbon deposits: including spark plug carbon deposits, throttle body carbon deposits, and cylinder carbon deposits.

What are the reasons for high tire pressure?

The reasons for high tire pressure are: 1. Over-inflation of the tire leads to high tire pressure readings; 2. Tire dynamic imbalance with excessive deflection causes high tire wear temperature and increased tire pressure; 3. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment of a particular wheel. Hazards of high tire pressure: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates localized wear of the tread center pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Factors affecting tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, adjust tire pressure based on the standard tire pressure, increasing it by 0.2 bar; in summer, if the car is parked outdoors, the pressure can be 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent high-temperature blowouts; 2. Tire pressure measurement environment: Cold tires and hot tires have different pressures, with a typical difference of 0.3 bar to note during measurement.

What does Outlander ECO mean?

ECO refers to the vehicle's economical driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. The Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves only as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable the Eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of the Eco mode and could instead impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing hills, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in such scenarios.

How often should the vehicle's antifreeze be replaced?

Vehicle antifreeze should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or approximately every 2 years. Antifreeze, fully known as antifreeze coolant, is a coolant with antifreeze properties that prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block. Precautions for using antifreeze: 1. Regularly check the antifreeze level and replenish it promptly if it falls below the minimum mark; 2. Observe whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediment, and replace it immediately if turbidity is present; 3. Different vehicle models use antifreeze of different colors, so they should not be mixed; 4. Before winter, measure the freezing point of the antifreeze to prevent it from freezing.
