The button with an arrow pointing directly from outside the vehicle represents the external air circulation mode when pressed, indicating that air is drawn from outside. The button with an arrow inside the vehicle represents the internal circulation mode when pressed, meaning the air circulates within the car. Using external circulation allows you to breathe fresh air from outside. Additional information: Below are precautions for using car air conditioning: 1. Do not set the temperature too low. 2. Control the direction of the air vents. 3. Avoid prolonged use. 4. Occasionally use higher fan speeds. 5. Turn off the air conditioning when driving at low speeds.

The symbol for the car air conditioning's external circulation mode looks like a small car icon with an arrow pointing from the outside into the car, somewhat resembling the flow of outside air into the vehicle. Having driven many cars, I've noticed the button is usually located in the middle of the air conditioning control panel. Pressing it switches between internal and external circulation modes. Personally, I prefer using external circulation when driving in the city or when the air quality is good. It allows fresh air to enter, reducing stuffy odors and significantly improving ventilation inside the car, which helps prevent drowsiness during long drives. On rainy or foggy days, switching to external circulation can also prevent window fogging, enhancing safety. Fellow drivers should pay attention to the location of this symbol; with a few uses, you'll get familiar with it. It's also important to keep the air conditioning system clean—don't let a clogged filter affect your experience. Regular checks can help reduce malfunctions.

What to do after an A2 driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points?

If a driver accumulates 12 penalty points within one year or at once, the driver involved must go to the traffic police department to handle the matter within 15 days. After 15 days, the traffic police department will directly revoke the driver's license. Within 15 days, the driver needs to take the study voucher issued by the traffic police department to the local vehicle management office to complete the study procedures and study for 7 days before taking the theoretical test for Subject 1. After passing the test, the driver can take the pass notice to the traffic police department to retrieve the driver's license, and the penalty points on the license will be cleared.

What to do when ABS, anti-skid, and tire pressure warning lights all illuminate simultaneously?

Use a computer to check the ABS sensor and clear the fault. It may be due to a damaged sensor that requires replacement. Once the ABS light is resolved, the anti-skid warning light will turn off. Open the driver's side door, depress the brake pedal, press the one-touch start button to start the engine, then press the 'off' key to deactivate this function.

What is the simplest and most accurate method for A2 reverse parking?

Drive the car forward until it is roughly aligned with the car in front, then adjust the right-side mirror until the right wheel is visible. Keep the steering wheel fully turned to the right and reverse slowly until the left-side mirror shows the front of the car behind; use the right-side mirror to straighten the car body. When the right-side mirror is almost parallel with the taillight of the adjacent car, straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing. Once the car is inside the parking space, press the clutch firmly, check if the rear of the car is properly positioned, then press the clutch and brake, and shift to neutral.

How to Choose Between A6 and Q5?

Audi A6's front fascia is more impactful, with this generation emphasizing a sportier style, blending elements of sportiness and elegance into its composed appearance. Audi Q5's angular front-end design adopts the Q7's design language, incorporating chrome accents for a more robust and streamlined look. Audi A6's full LCD instrument cluster and large central display screen exude a sense of technological sophistication and luxurious fashion. Audi A6 is equipped with high and low power versions of a 2.0T engine, delivering stable performance on highways and during turns, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Since Audi Q5 replaced its 8AT with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, like many vehicles today, it still offers a remarkably smooth driving experience.
