The P button next to the off button in the car is the radar switch for the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the parking radar system: 1. Working Principle: The PDC system operates by installing radar detectors on the rear or both front and rear bumpers to detect obstacles around the vehicle. It helps the driver 'see' obstacles in front or behind, or the distance between the car and other vehicles when parking. This device not only makes parking easier but also protects the car body from scratches. 2. Function: When reversing, it assists the driver in 'seeing' objects not visible in the rearview mirror, providing auditory or more intuitive visual alerts about surrounding obstacles. It eliminates the hassle of the driver having to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle, and helps to eliminate blind spots and unclear vision, thereby improving driving safety.

What does free charging for XPeng P7 mean?

XPeng Supercharger announced that in order to provide a more convenient and faster charging experience for car owners, it will offer lifetime free charging service for the first non-commercial owners of XPeng P7 vehicles who charge at designated charging stations. The specific conditions are as follows: 1. Only non-commercial use is eligible: The biggest difference between commercial and non-commercial vehicles is that commercial vehicles are intended to earn transportation fees, while non-commercial vehicles are not for profit. 2. First owner: The first owner refers to the first registered person of the vehicle. Only the first owner can use XPeng's free charging service. If you purchase a used XPeng from the second-hand car market, you will not be eligible for free charging. In other words, this policy "recognizes the person, not the car." 3. Free within 3,000 kWh per year: If the electricity used exceeds 3,000 kWh per year, the owner will need to pay for the extra. Taking the long-range version of XPeng P7 as an example, 3,000 kWh can charge the car approximately 37 times. This means the owner can drive about 26,000 kilometers for free each year, which is a fairly generous quota for most owners.

What type of engine oil is suitable for Volkswagen 1.4T?

Volkswagen 1.4T uses 0W40 engine oil. The 1.4T is a direct-injection turbocharged engine with a complex working environment inside the cylinders, requiring the oil to maintain good stability under high temperature and pressure. 0W40 oil exhibits strong fluidity under high temperatures and has high viscosity, allowing the oil film to effectively coat the cylinder surfaces for superior lubrication. Classification of engine oil: Automotive engine oils are divided into three types - mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Mineral oil is only suitable for low-end vehicles or some new cars. Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of conventional oil and synthetic base oil, generally suitable for non-turbocharged mid-range models. Full synthetic oil has excellent high-temperature volatility resistance and deposition capability, making it suitable for high-temperature, high-speed, high-compression ratio engines like turbocharged engines. Functions of engine oil: Lubrication to reduce wear - There is rapid relative sliding between the engine's pistons and cylinders, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells, which can easily cause wear. High-quality oil forms a sufficiently thick oil film between these sliding surfaces to separate them and reduce wear. Cooling - The oil carries heat back to the oil pan and dissipates it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. Cleaning - Good engine oil can circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine components back to the oil pan, flushing away contaminants generated on the parts' working surfaces through the flow of the lubricating oil.

What is the difference between Volkswagen CC 330 and 380?

The 2019 Volkswagen CC 330TSI is equipped with a low-power version of the 2.0T engine, while the 380TSI uses a high-power version of the 2.0T engine, with different engine power and torque. The numerical suffix on Volkswagen models indicates the maximum torque output of the vehicle's engine. A higher number signifies greater engine torque, which typically means a larger engine displacement, a higher vehicle grade, and a more expensive price. More details are as follows: 1. Different engine power: The 330 is a low-power version of the 2.0T engine, while the 380 is a high-power version of the 2.0T engine. Previously, the Volkswagen 330 used a 1.8T engine, and the 380 used a 2.0T engine. Later, the 330 was also upgraded to a 2.0T engine, but it remains the low-power version. The 330 has around 186 horsepower (Ps), while the 380 has around 220 horsepower (Ps), offering stronger performance. 2. Different torque: The numbers 330 and 380 on the rear of Volkswagen vehicles represent the engine torque data for the respective models. The 330 corresponds to a maximum torque of 320N·m, while the 380 corresponds to a maximum torque of 350N·m. These numbers are usually followed by letters, such as TSI, indicating that the vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged engine.

What Causes Abnormal Noises from the Car Steering Wheel?

The reasons for abnormal noises from the car steering wheel include damage to the clock spring in the steering wheel, which requires replacement of the clock spring; lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover, necessitating the application of lubricant; insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber's plane bearing, also requiring lubrication; and loosening or damage of the stabilizer bar bushings, which may need shims or replacement. To quickly resolve steering wheel noise issues, it is essential to first identify the source of the noise. If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, you can remove the steering wheel clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring as it is already damaged. If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it is likely due to the steering column dust cover. A lack of lubrication in the dust cover can cause friction noises. In this case, applying grease inside the dust cover will eliminate the noise. If the noise originates outside the car, it may be due to insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber's plane bearing. Applying grease to the plane bearing can help. If the noise continues after lubrication, replacement is necessary. Additionally, check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noises not only when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can be fixed by adding shims, while damaged ones must be replaced.

Can Points Be Cleared on the Day of the Driving License Demerit Reset Date?

Points cannot be cleared on the day of the driving license demerit reset date. Overview of the Driving License Demerit Point Cycle: The demerit point cycle refers to the cumulative demerit point cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the demerit point cycle), which lasts for 12 months with a maximum of 12 points. It is calculated from the date the motor vehicle driving license was initially issued. Calculation of the Driving License Demerit Point Cycle: The demerit point cycle starts from the date the driving license was obtained. If the points accumulated within a demerit point cycle (12 months) do not reach 12 and all fines are paid before the end of this cycle, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next demerit point cycle. Points with unpaid fines will not be reset at the start of the next demerit point cycle. The next cycle will begin with these points carried over, and so on. If the points exceed 12, the driver will need to attend training to eliminate them. After adding a permitted vehicle type and obtaining a new driving license, the validity period of the driving license will not be recalculated, and the demerit point cycle will always start from the original date of the initial issuance of the driving license. It is important to note that during the probation period after adding a permitted vehicle type, if the driving license has a record of accumulating 12 points, the probationary driving qualification for the added vehicle type will be revoked.

What is the penalty for being caught by traffic police for applying a color-changing film?

If the color change is not registered and is caught, the fine is 200 yuan without any points deduction. Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" stipulates that if the body color is changed without going through the change registration as required, the traffic management department of the public security organ will issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to be restored to its original color. To apply for a change in the body color of a motor vehicle, the following materials need to be submitted: "Application Form for Change Registration of Motor Vehicles." Proof of identity and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license and payment of all previous fines for the vehicle. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to go through change registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be registered and filed, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the region allows the color change of motor vehicles. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be completed after the color change, and the vehicle must be restored to its original color. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office for change registration. Moreover, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the local vehicle management office in the following cases: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use or vice versa. The motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must spray emblem patterns, install alarms, and mark lamps as required. Other motor vehicles must not spray, install, or use emblem patterns, alarms, or mark lamps that are exclusive to the aforementioned vehicles or similar to them.
