Generally, it needs to be replaced every 2-3 years. Below is an introduction to Volkswagen: 1. Introduction: Volkswagen AG is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, founded by Ferdinand Porsche on March 28, 1937. 2. Brands: The company owns brands such as Audi and Volkswagen. In May 2021, the "2021 Forbes Global 2000" was released, with the Volkswagen Group ranking 17th. 3. Development: On March 28, 2018, Volkswagen officially released the official images of the Atlas-Cross-Sport concept car, which had its global debut at the 2018 New York Auto Show, and the car is also planned for mass production in the US in the future.

I have deep feelings about the lifespan of Volkswagen's original batteries. As a veteran driver who has owned Volkswagens for ten years and replaced batteries three times, my experience is: in southern cities, commuting can generally last 3-4 years, but winters in the north are particularly harsh on batteries—once at -20°C, my car left me stranded on the road. The most critical factor is the auto start-stop function—my Magotan with start-stop lasted only two and a half years. Recently, I noticed that during maintenance at the 4S shop, they perform free CCA (cold cranking amps) tests. When the value drops below 400, it's time to prepare for a replacement. Once, I forgot to turn off the dashcam, and after just three days, the car wouldn't start. Since then, I've kept an emergency power supply in the glove compartment.

How to Use Manual Mode in a Tiptronic Transmission?

To use manual mode in a tiptronic transmission, push the gear lever toward the plus sign. Here are some additional tips: 1. When going uphill, maintain a higher speed as the car will upshift. Use manual mode to prevent the transmission from shifting too high by selecting a lower gear. 2. When descending a slope at high speed, keeping the transmission in D mode requires frequent brake application to reduce speed. Choosing manual mode allows you to downshift to a lower gear, which provides engine braking and reduces brake friction heat from prolonged braking. 3. If the wheels lose traction or get stuck in mud, switch to manual mode, select second gear, and use steady power to help the wheels regain grip and pull the car out.

How to Operate the Headlights?

Headlights, also known as front headlamps, are installed on both sides of the front of the vehicle to illuminate the road during nighttime driving. The steps to turn on the headlights are as follows: 1. Locate the turn signal lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel. 2. Find the threaded ring on the lever. 3. Turn the threaded ring upwards twice, then pull the lever vertically upwards once to activate the low beam. Pull it again to switch to the high beam. 4. To toggle between high and low beams, continuously pull the lever. When using headlights, the requirements are to ensure good illumination while avoiding dazzling oncoming drivers. Therefore, the following points should be noted: 1. Keep the headlight lens clean, especially during rain or snow, as dirt and dust can reduce the headlight's illumination performance by 50%. 2. When two vehicles meet at night, both should switch from high beam to low beam when they are more than 150 meters apart to ensure driving safety.

The Impact of Tire Size on Vehicles

The size of a vehicle's tires primarily affects its drivability, ride comfort, and power performance. For the same chassis, larger tire sizes enhance the vehicle's drivability, while smaller tire sizes improve ride comfort and stability. Larger tires on the same chassis also provide greater power, which is why heavy-duty vehicles like road rollers have large wheel diameters. Tire size is mainly determined by the wheel rim. Larger rims are typically paired with low-profile tires, increasing the wheel's lateral stiffness. This means the wheel deforms less under high lateral forces, such as during high-speed cornering, improving handling responsiveness. However, excessively large rims result in overly low-profile tires, reducing comfort. Additionally, on rough roads, insufficient tire cushioning can lead to rim deformation or damage due to impact. Wheels are subjected to various external forces, including rotational torque, vibrational shear forces, the vehicle's weight, and resistance to forward motion. Therefore, wheels are primarily made of aluminum alloy, incorporating specific elements to meet multiple stress requirements, prolonging wheel life and ensuring normal vehicle operation. Under high lateral forces, such as during high-speed cornering, larger wheels exhibit less deformation, enhancing handling responsiveness. However, overly large tires with excessively low profiles compromise comfort and are more prone to deformation or damage on rough roads due to inadequate shock absorption. For tires with the same tread pattern, a wider tread generally provides better traction but increases fuel consumption and road noise. High-profile tires offer superior cushioning but reduce road feel and lateral resistance during cornering. Conversely, low-profile tires handle road feedback more precisely, significantly improving cornering stability and overall handling. For daily tire maintenance, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. As tires wear, the tread grooves gradually shallow. Worn treads lose their water drainage and anti-skid functions, drastically reducing vehicle performance. Even minor cracks can pose a risk of blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove small stones lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on surfaces with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing internal pressure. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road surface.

What are the common problems when the reversing radar controller is damaged?

There are several common problems when the reversing radar controller is damaged: 1. No alarm from the reversing radar system: There is no response from the reversing radar system after shifting into reverse gear or pressing the radar switch. Fault diagnosis: Caused by the working power supply or ground circuit of the reversing radar system not functioning. 2. Radar system indicates a fault: The radar system indicates a fault when using the parking function. Fault diagnosis: Probe failure or abnormal probe controller circuit. 3. False alarms from the reversing radar system: The radar alarms even when there are no obstacles while using the parking function. Fault diagnosis: Probe failure or dirty probe surface. Common faults include probe damage, water droplets, or mud on the probe surface.

What is the optimal charging voltage for a car charger?

For car chargers, the optimal charging voltage is between 13.5-14.5V. Here are some additional details: 1. Both excessively high or low voltage can cause malfunctions. The normal voltage for a car battery should be above 12.5V, and the power generation does not differentiate between carburetor and fuel injection systems. 2. Car generators can be categorized into DC generators and AC generators. 3. Ordinary AC generators are also referred to as "silicon rectifier generators," which require the installation of a voltage regulator during use. 4. The actual charging termination voltage for sealed lead-acid batteries should be 2.4V per cell for optimal performance, corresponding to 43.2V for 36V systems and 57.6V for 48V systems.
