2017 Jetta latest model has a minimum ground clearance of 120mm. Relevant information about ground clearance is introduced as follows: Ground clearance (i.e., minimum ground clearance) refers to the minimum height between the car's chassis and the ground when the car is at its maximum load capacity. The minimum ground clearance reflects the car's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. Relevant information about the 2017 Jetta is introduced as follows: 1. After the redesign, the Jetta's appearance has become much younger compared to the older models. The front grille has been adorned with two chrome strips, adding a touch of fashion. Moving to the rear, the design emphasizes a stable and steady feel, lacking some vitality compared to the front. The front face adopts an X-shaped design, which, despite its simple lines, brings a fashionable vibe. The rear design mainly focuses on a stable and steady feel, lacking some vitality. 2. In terms of interior, the Jetta still uses a dark upper and light lower color scheme, creating a homely atmosphere, while the addition of silver decorative strips brings a fashionable touch to the cabin. The three-spoke steering wheel highlights a sporty feel, and the center console is equipped with a multimedia entertainment system and air conditioning system. Additionally, all models come standard with ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution (EBD/CBC, etc.), and engine electronic anti-theft system. 3. For the powertrain, the Jetta uses the well-known EA211 engine, offering consumers a choice of 1.4L and 1.6L naturally aspirated engines, as well as a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The 1.4L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 66kW (90Ps) and a maximum torque of 132Nm; the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 81kW (110Ps) and a maximum torque of 160Nm; while the 1.4L turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 96kW (131Ps) and a maximum torque of 225Nm. Transmission options include a 7-speed dual-clutch, 5-speed manual, and 6-speed automatic transmission for consumers to choose from.

I've been studying automotive data and recall that the 2017 Jetta has a ground clearance of approximately 138mm. This parameter is quite crucial as it affects the vehicle's passability and stability. For city driving, the 138mm height allows easy navigation over speed bumps or small potholes, and reduces the risk of water wading during rainy conditions. However, if you frequently drive on rural roads with many potholes, extra caution is needed as the chassis is more prone to scraping. Overall, this height is well-balanced in design, ensuring minimal body roll during turns while maintaining some off-road capability. In daily driving, keeping tires properly inflated can further enhance ground clearance effect and prolong the vehicle's lifespan. Always observe road conditions while driving and avoid sudden braking over ditches for safety and peace of mind.

What do 'lo' and 'hi' represent in car seat heating?

Seat heating 'hi' is the abbreviation of 'high' in English, meaning the high heating level; while 'lo' is the abbreviation of 'low' in English, meaning the low heating level. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. Structure: The basic structure of a seat heater consists of a layer of non-woven fabric at the bottom, with heating wires arranged on it and fixed to the non-woven fabric with adhesive tape. A knitted fabric covers the adhesive tape, and the knitting threads are sewn into a shape similar to the heated area of the seat, then stitched into the seat cover. 2. Arrangement: The non-woven fabric with heating wires, when the car seat heating switch is turned on, the heating wires are electrified, and the seat will generate heat, causing the seat to gradually warm up in a short time. The principle is somewhat similar to that of an electric blanket.

What are the solutions for water entering a car?

The solutions for water entering a car are: 1. Remove the negative terminal of the battery as soon as possible to prevent short circuits in various electrical components due to water exposure; 2. Immediately inspect the engine, first checking if water has entered the engine cylinders, as this can cause bent connecting rods and engine damage; 3. Check if water has mixed with the engine oil, as water contamination can degrade the oil and reduce its lubricating properties, leading to excessive engine wear; 4. Inspect the transmission for water ingress, as water can degrade the gear oil and cause gear wear; 5. Check the brake fluid and all four-wheel brakes, as water in the brake fluid can degrade it and lead to brake failure; 6. If water has entered the exhaust pipe, drain it promptly to prevent impurities from clogging the catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor; 7. Check if the battery is fully submerged in water and replace the electrolyte if necessary; 8. For automatic transmission vehicles, inspect the transmission and transmission control computer for water damage; 9. Dry soaked interior items (seat covers, floor mats, etc.) as soon as possible to prevent mold growth.

Will Pearl White Turn Yellow?

Pearl paint is not prone to yellowing, but avoid repainting as it's difficult to guarantee no color difference once repainted. Composition of pearl paint: Pearl white is not pure white, so it appears slightly yellower than pure white. Regular white car paint is achieved with pure white paint, while pearl white involves an additional step—mixing pearl powder (also called mica flakes) into the pure white paint base. Therefore, the resulting pearl white has a pearlescent hue rather than being pure white. Maintenance of pearl paint: Using cleaning wax to polish the entire car will prevent yellowing, followed by applying a layer of polishing wax to make the car shine. Waxing is generally recommended every 2-3 months, but the duration of wax protection varies depending on the environment and weather conditions. You can determine whether waxing is needed by checking the car's surface—if it feels smooth to the touch, waxing isn't necessary; if it feels like sandpaper, it's time to apply wax.

How to Determine the Position of the Right Front Wheel While Sitting in the Car?

How to determine the position of the right front wheel while sitting in the car: 1. Use the wiper to identify the wheel position: The placement point of the left wiper is the position of the left front wheel, and the placement point of the right wiper is the position of the right front wheel, which is the path the right front wheel will follow; 2. Use the lane dividing lines on both sides to determine the wheel position: Take the right dividing line as a reference, visually extend it to the middle of the front of the car. The position of the left wheel is relatively easier to determine compared to the right wheel; 3. The ten-fifteen wheel positioning method: When the car is moving straight, hold the steering wheel at the 10:15 position with both hands, then observe the visible ground in front of the car. At this time, the position of the left thumb is the position of the left front wheel, and the position of the right thumb is the position of the right front wheel;
