The main reason for touch screen failure is malfunction or damage. The specific reasons are introduced as follows: Damage: It may be due to touch screen damage, and professional repair at a 4S shop is recommended. Malfunction: It may be due to a malfunction, try resetting it. The reset button is generally located on the screen or main unit, either as a small round hole or a small button. You can use a paperclip or toothpick to press the DVD's RST hole (reset button) to restore the device to its initial state. Extended information: Car navigation system: The onboard GPS navigation system receives data from at least three of the 24 GPS satellites orbiting the Earth through its built-in GPS antenna. Combined with the electronic map stored in the onboard navigator, it matches the position coordinates determined by the GPS satellite signals to determine the car's precise location on the electronic map, which is commonly referred to as the positioning function.

Last time I encountered a similar issue, I found that half of the car's touchscreen was unresponsive, usually due to localized damage to the internal touch layer, such as scratches from hard objects or aging fractures caused by high temperatures. It could also be a loose connection in the wiring harness, where rough road conditions might cause the connector to disconnect, interrupting signals in certain areas. Software glitches can also cause trouble, like functional errors after a system update, rendering half the screen useless. Dust buildup or accidental spills can also affect touch sensitivity. I find this quite annoying because it can lead to errors when using navigation or adjusting the AC, increasing driving risks. So, don't attempt DIY fixes—first, clean the screen with a soft cloth and restart the system. If that doesn't work, take it to a professional shop to check the hardware and wiring.

Should the Brake Be Released Quickly or Slowly in an Automatic Transmission?

In an automatic transmission, the brake should be released quickly to closely follow the throttle and achieve a greater starting speed. Here is some relevant information about automatic transmission vehicles: Definition of Automatic Transmission: An automatic transmission refers to a system that does not require gear shifting while driving, with the advantage of being easier to operate compared to a manual transmission. Gear Positions in Automatic Transmission: Generally, there are six gear positions in an automatic transmission vehicle, listed from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. Automatic transmissions include continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronic paddle shifters, and electronic gear lever shifting. There are three types of transmissions available in the market: Manual transmission, automatic transmission, and semi-automatic transmission.

Which generation is the current Golf?

It is the eighth generation Golf, and the latest model is the eighth generation. Here is some related information about the Golf: Engine configuration: The Golf is equipped with a TSI turbocharged EA211 engine, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in 8.2 seconds. The maximum power speed [rpm] is 5000-6000, maximum torque [N.m] is 200, and maximum torque speed [rpm] is 2000-3500. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: (1) Ensure correct tire pressure. The pressure should not be too high or too low, as both will increase fuel consumption. Regularly check tire pressure to avoid affecting driving fuel consumption. (2) Avoid changing tire size. Wider tires increase resistance. Unless there is a specific need for better grip, overly wide tires will only increase fuel consumption. Regularly check if the steering wheel and tires are properly aligned, as misalignment can also increase fuel consumption accordingly.

Can a Sedan Still Be Used After Being Submerged in Water?

A sedan can still be used after being submerged in water. Below are the solutions for a water-submerged car: If the vehicle is severely waterlogged and it is uncertain whether it can start normally: Immediately notify the insurance company for on-site inspection. After the inspection, the vehicle should be towed out of the water as soon as possible. During this process, do not start the engine. Components that need to be disassembled include: Remove the intake manifold, fuel injectors, ignition coils, spark plugs, airbag control module, air filter housing, throttle body, and other water-affected components. If the vehicle is completely submerged in water and it is uncertain whether it can start normally: Immediately disconnect the vehicle battery to cut off power and tow the vehicle to a repair shop. Components that need to be replaced include: The original engine oil, transmission fluid, and other related fluids must be replaced. The entire set of genuine leather seats also needs replacement.

What Causes Abnormal Noises in Car Air Conditioning?

The causes of abnormal noises in car air conditioning are as follows: Damaged car air conditioning compressor: Due to lack of lubrication, worn rotating shafts, inability to compress air normally, or air leakage. When the air conditioning compressor has problems, the car's air conditioning system will exhibit abnormal noises or fail to cool. Blocked air conditioning vents: It is necessary to clean the air conditioning vents promptly. It should be noted that the car air conditioning filter should also be cleaned and replaced regularly. Generally, it should be cleaned every 5,000 kilometers of driving. Worn fan blades: If the fan blades are worn, the fan bearings lose lubrication, or the fan blades are stuck by foreign objects, the car air conditioning will also produce abnormal noises. In this case, the fan blades need to be removed for detailed inspection. Engine abnormal noise: If the engine belt is loose or produces abnormal noises due to other reasons.

What Are the Effects of a Vehicle Driving Through Water?

After driving through water, a vehicle may experience impacts on its braking system, chassis, and other components. Below is an analysis of the potential effects of driving through water: Braking System: Residual water after driving through water can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully engaging, leading to a loss of braking power. Chassis: Water on roads during rainy weather tends to be dirty, containing debris such as fallen leaves. When a vehicle drives through water, these debris can easily stick to gaps in the chassis, leading to rust over time. Headlights: Headlights are crucial equipment for driving in foggy or rainy conditions and at night, and their condition directly affects driving safety. If the headlight cover is not well-sealed, water can easily enter the headlight assembly when driving through water, creating condensation inside and reducing the effectiveness of the light.

What to Pay Attention to When Driving at Night

Precautions for driving at night are as follows: Crossing intersections: When driving at night and encountering a continuously flashing yellow warning signal at an intersection, you should reduce your speed, pay attention to the surroundings, and proceed only after confirming safety. Slow down when road conditions are poor: If you encounter road construction signals while driving, slow down and proceed with caution. In hazardous sections or when road conditions are unclear, you should stop to check and proceed only after understanding the situation. Avoid tailgating: When driving at night, to avoid danger, drivers should pay attention to appropriately increasing the following distance to prevent collisions between vehicles.
