The maximum wading depth of the Sagitar is 310mm. The wading depth of the Sagitar is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the vehicle's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Sagitar is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it can cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion; Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration; On roads prone to waterlogging, observe warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as reference points to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed; Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not proceed and choose an alternative route instead.

Where to Check the Date on Car Tires?

You can find the date of car tires on the outer edge of the tire. Tires are circular elastic rubber products installed on metal rims, designed to be fitted on various vehicles or machinery for rolling on the ground. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance. The functions of tires include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to car components; 4. Adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle, reducing driving noise, and ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

What are the causes of braking sideslip?

The causes of braking sideslip are: 1. The vehicle makes an emergency brake, sudden speed change or steering on roads with very low adhesion; 2. Driving too fast on curves, slopes or uneven roads; 3. Inconsistent braking performance of wheels or inconsistent tread patterns or wear degrees of tires. Solutions to braking sideslip: 1. The driver should hold the steering wheel steadily, gradually reduce the throttle, avoid braking or shifting gears, and immediately steer in the direction of the sideslip to reduce the sideslip force and prevent the vehicle from continuing to slide sideways toward the roadside; 2. Adjust the steering direction as needed to gradually eliminate the vehicle's sideslip and resume normal driving.

Can the Jetta VS7 use 92-octane gasoline for a long time?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Jetta VS7 should use 95-octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. However, with the application of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower-grade gasoline because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Jetta VS7 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-grade gasoline, using higher-grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance in actual driving experience. For vehicles recommended to use higher-grade gasoline, using lower-grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If detonation occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without obvious damage to the engine. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, where vibrations not only affect driving stability but also cause abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.

How Often Should a Small Vehicle Undergo Inspection?

Starting from September 1, 2015, newly registered small passenger cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. Below are the relevant details: Compulsory Traffic Insurance Policy: According to the new regulations, non-commercial small passenger cars and similar vehicles are exempt from inspection for 6 years. During this period, the vehicle owner or the unit to which the vehicle belongs must submit the compulsory traffic insurance policy and the vehicle and vessel tax certificate to the vehicle management office every 2 years. They can then directly apply to the public security traffic management department for the inspection compliance label. Services: With the implementation of the new regulations, the public security traffic management department provides services such as cross-regional inspection and online appointment booking for small passenger cars, making it more convenient for vehicle owners. Within the same city, vehicle owners can independently choose an inspection agency for the inspection. Appointment: To facilitate vehicle inspection, the inspection agencies at the vehicle management offices have set up dedicated appointment channels and windows for vehicles with scheduled inspections. This reduces waiting times for owners during the inspection process, allowing them to proceed directly to the inspection line. After passing the inspection, they can receive the annual inspection compliance label and the environmental protection label with the inspection report.

What are the solutions for scattered light and poor focus in car LED headlights?

The solutions for scattered light and poor focus in car LED headlights are: 1. Reinstall the base of the headlight at the back and secure it properly; 2. If the light is misaligned, adjust the two screw rods behind the lamp bracket—the outer screw rod adjusts left and right, while the inner screw rod adjusts up and down. The maintenance methods for car LED headlights are: 1. Regularly check the sealing of the headlight, and replace the sealing ring between the lens and reflector if it is damaged; 2. Clean the reflector regularly, and replace it if it turns black or the brightness decreases; 3. Regularly remove dust and stains from the bulb. The adjustment standards for headlights are: 1. Drive the car to a flat and open road; 2. Turn on the headlights and adjust the low-beam projection point to about 30 meters from the car, ensuring the two projection points overlap; 3. Adjust the high-beam projection point to be parallel to the ground.
