The ground clearance of the new Passat is 115mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and stumps without collision. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass through obstacles or uneven ground. The new Passat adopts a new family-style design, making it more youthful and dynamic overall. It is built on the MQB platform and equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T engines. In terms of body dimensions, the new Passat measures 4933mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm.

Can a C2 license holder drive a semi-automatic transmission vehicle?

According to regulations, a C2 driver's license allows the holder to operate small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Since semi-automatic transmission is actually a type of automatic transmission, a C2 license does permit driving semi-automatic vehicles. Here's more relevant information: C2 License: The main demographic choosing to learn C2 consists primarily of middle-aged and elderly individuals, who generally find C2 easier to learn with less risk of stalling. Compared to C1, C2 training is slightly more expensive. C2 learners typically have longer training cycles, and these two factors combined naturally make the training costs higher than for a C1 license. With automatic transmission vehicles, they can basically start moving once ignited, with minimal concern about stalling, and the operational steps are fewer, which is why most applicants are middle-aged/elderly people and women. Although C2 is simpler to learn, the examination requirements are identical to C1, ensuring all learners can drive safely on roads. Due to fewer people learning C2, there's usually a long waiting period before classes begin. A driving school staff member suggests that citizens considering C2 might want to switch to C1 instead – not only is the training cheaper, but they can immediately enroll and start learning subject one.

What Causes the ABS Light to Stay On?

ABS light stays on due to: 1. Damaged wheel speed sensor triggering ABS warning, causing the ABS sensor to fail detecting wheel rotation speed; 2. Contaminated wheel speed sensor making ABS warning light illuminate; 3. Faulty wheel speed sensor wiring requiring harness replacement. A constantly lit ABS light doesn't affect normal braking or cause brake failure, but disables ABS functionality during emergency braking. The ABS system automatically modulates brake force during deceleration to prevent wheel lock-up, maintaining optimal tire-road adhesion by keeping wheels in a rolling-sliding state (with approximately 20% slip ratio).

How to Start a Mercedes-Benz?

Mercedes-Benz is started by pressing the start button on the right side of the steering wheel while holding down the brake pedal. Mercedes-Benz uses a "column shifter," and the operating steps are as follows: 1. When shifting gears, hold down the brake pedal and then move the gear lever; 2. After starting, it is in the neutral position, moving it up is reverse gear, and moving it down is drive gear; 3. When parking, shift into neutral while holding the brake, then press the outer button to engage P (Park) gear. Mercedes-Benz is a premium German automobile brand. The dimensions of the 2020 S-Class Business Edition Collector's Model are 5259mm in length, 1899mm in width, and 1497mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3165mm, and a top speed of 250km/h.

What is the purpose of vehicle interior disinfection?

Vehicle interior disinfection serves to: purify the air inside the car and eliminate odors. The disinfection methods include: 1. Ozone disinfection: can temporarily remove odors but cannot substantially disinfect or sterilize; 2. Steam disinfection: can provide certain sterilization, disinfection, and odor removal effects, but electronic components in the car are prone to malfunction after steam treatment; 3. Photocatalyst disinfection: mainly targets new cars, with the primary effect of removing odors from seats and genuine leather; 4. A+ atomized sterilization: comprehensively eliminates harmful organisms and bacteria in all corners and gaps of the interior, improving the air quality of the cabin. The reason for car interior disinfection: prolonged use of the car interior can breed many bacteria, making it a breeding ground for bacteria, hence the need for disinfection.

Is There a Discount for ETC Highway Toll?

According to the relevant regulations of the State Council, a unified 5% discount is applied for ETC, but banks handling the process offer greater incentives to encourage ETC adoption. Starting from 2020, vehicles without ETC or not using ETC will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will remain at highway toll stations, requiring manual toll payment, which is less efficient compared to ETC lanes. ETC Deduction Principles: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, vehicles can pass toll stations without stopping to pay. This is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and emissions, thus minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption, while users also enjoy a 5% toll discount; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, key city clusters will achieve interoperability of transportation smart cards, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase," and set a target in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators to "achieve a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." More future possibilities: Besides continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will include promoting ETC use for trucks and exploring deeper integration of ETC systems with smart transportation developments like vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle ahead stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the wrong vehicle due to ETC device failure or absence. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. Excessive speed may prevent reading vehicle device information, leading to failed deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or loosens, will render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or a highway service center for inspection. Non-deliberate loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause deduction failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use the manual MTC lane for cash or card payment. Thick windshields may cause poor sensing, especially for vehicles that have had windshield replacements after accidents or modifications.

How to Determine if a Wheel Bearing is Faulty?

Tire bearing failure can be judged by the following methods: 1. A noticeable humming noise is a common symptom. If the humming sound persists and does not change when the vehicle speed increases to a certain level, it can be concluded that the tire bearing is faulty; 2. The car body may vibrate, with the vibration becoming more intense as the speed increases. Additionally, significant heat may be generated. After driving for a while, the driver can touch the tire to feel the temperature, which will be noticeably higher than normal. The main function of the wheel bearing is to bear the load and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the wheel hub. It withstands both axial and radial loads, making it a crucial component.
