The circle with an 'a' on the car is the auto-hold system of the vehicle. The auto-hold system refers to: An automatic handbrake function. Once activated, you don't need to pull the handbrake when stopping at traffic lights. It is suitable for uphill and downhill driving as well as frequent starts and stops. How to use the auto-hold function in a car: Fasten your seatbelt and activate the function while driving; when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, you can release the brake; the dashboard will display a parking indicator, and the car will remain stationary in D or N gear; lightly press the accelerator to release the brake. When exiting the vehicle, shift to P gear and pull the handbrake. The auto-hold system will only release the brake when the driving force exceeds the reverse force that could cause the car to roll, allowing the car to start directly.

Where is the tire pressure reset button for Golf 7?

The tire pressure reset button for Golf 7 is located near the gear lever, labeled as the SET button. Press and hold it for 5 seconds until you hear a beep, indicating the reset is complete. Alternatively, you can also reset it through the tire settings in the vehicle's computer system. Golf 7 does not have an active tire pressure monitoring function; it only displays a warning on the dashboard when there is an abnormality in the tires. The display does not show specific values but indicates which tire has an issue. Here is some related information: The Volkswagen Golf 7 tire monitoring indicator uses ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumference and rotation speed of each wheel. If the tire pressure of one or more wheels changes, the tire pressure loss indicator in the combination instrument and the infotainment system display will issue an alert.

Where is the Clutch?

The car clutch is on the left, the brake is in the middle, and the accelerator is on the right. The arrangement of clutch, brake, and accelerator in a manual transmission car conforms to the driving habits of the vast majority of people. From the perspective of operating habits, flexibility, and driver comfort, this arrangement is relatively reasonable. Additional information: Below are some techniques for using the clutch: 1. Full-floating style: Use the sole of your foot to press the clutch pedal, both pressing and releasing involve simultaneous up and down movement of the sole and heel, suitable for vehicles requiring more force such as buses or large trucks. 2. Rear-shift style: Use the area between the toes and the sole to press the clutch pedal; when releasing, first move the heel back a certain distance, then slowly lift the toes. 3. Lift style: First use the toes or the tip of the foot to press the clutch, when releasing, keep the heel stationary and only lift the toes, feeling the pedal sliding under the sole of the shoe, lift to a certain height until the pedal reaches the position of the sole, enabling the vehicle to start.

Can a new car with temporary license plates but no vehicle license be driven on the road?

With temporary plates and insurance, you can drive on the road even without a vehicle license. Of course, the vehicle must be a legitimate motor vehicle, and the temporary plates must be within their validity period. When driving, you must also carry your driver's license, the original vehicle invoice, and the certificate of conformity for inspection if required. Temporary license plates have time and regional limitations. You can apply for temporary license plates from the local vehicle management office if you meet any of the following conditions: 1. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, you need to apply for temporary license plates at the vehicle management office where the vehicle was purchased. 2. When transferring vehicle registration and after surrendering the official license plates, you need to apply for temporary license plates at the local vehicle management office to drive back to your home location. 3. For a new car in the local area that has not yet obtained official license plates but needs to be driven to another location for modifications, you must apply for temporary license plates locally. After modifications are completed, you need to apply for temporary license plates at the modification location to drive back to the original area. 4. For owners who have not yet fixed the vehicle registration and need temporary trial use.

What Are the Causes of Power Steering Hose Fitting Oil Leakage?

The causes of power steering hose fitting oil leakage are as follows: 1. Connection Parts: Inspect all connection parts in the steering system, including the hoses, oil reservoir, steering gear, and steering pump. 2. Loose Hose: If the inlet hose at the pump is loose, oil leakage often occurs at this point. Therefore, it is essential to avoid any impact on the pump's inlet hose at all times (the hose is press-fitted into the pump body with an interference fit). 3. Inspect the Interface Between the Hose and the Steering Pump: If there is oil leakage at this point, replace the sealing ring and tighten the installation bolts on the hose. This issue is unrelated to the oil quality, and there is no need to replace the steering pump. 4. Poor Cleanliness: If oil leakage occurs at the reservoir, it may be due to poor cleanliness within the steering system, causing the spool in the steering pump's flow pressure control valve to be blocked by foreign objects. When turning the steering wheel rapidly, the return oil pressure in the pump's reservoir becomes too high, and the pump's outlet is blocked. This often results in pressure oil leaking out through the air vent on the reservoir cap, creating the illusion of a steering pump oil leak.

What Does 'Low Washer Fluid' Mean?

It refers to insufficient windshield washer fluid in the car. If this warning light illuminates, it is reminding the owner to promptly refill the washer fluid. The indicator will turn off after adding the cleaning solution. The functions of automotive washer fluid are as follows: 1. Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal. 2. Anti-freeze Performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing anti-freeze properties and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog Performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent, with unobstructed visibility. 4. Anti-static Performance: After using the washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate static charges on the glass, providing anti-static properties. 5. Lubrication Performance: The ethylene glycol in the washer fluid has high viscosity, which can lubricate and reduce friction between the wiper blades and the glass, preventing scratches. 6. Anti-corrosion Performance: Windshield washer fluid contains various corrosion inhibitors, ensuring no corrosion to any metals, and is absolutely safe for car paint and rubber.
