Volkswagen Santana recommends using original 5w30 synthetic engine oil. The number 5 represents resistance to external low temperatures of minus 30 degrees, W stands for winter suitability, and 30 indicates that the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius is 30. Engine oil is an important factor affecting engine performance and service life, providing lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption for the engine. The Volkswagen Santana is a compact sedan with body dimensions of 4473mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. The Volkswagen Santana is equipped with two engines, the Volkswagen EA211DLX and EA211DFL, both with a displacement of 1.5L, naturally aspirated intake, and a maximum output power of 81 kilowatts with a maximum torque of 150 Newton meters.

How to Deal with a Dead Battery in a BMW 1 Series?

If the lights and horn still work but the starter motor is weak, manual transmission vehicles can be push-started. Specifically, engage the 2nd or 3rd gear, depress the clutch, push the car, and release the clutch once the vehicle reaches a certain speed to start the engine. Below are specific methods to charge a dead car battery: 1. Battery Jump-Start Method: Connect the dead battery to another vehicle's battery. Once power is transferred, start the engine, and rely on the internal alternator to charge the battery while the engine is running. 2. Using a Battery Charger: At home, you can use a battery charger. Typically, a household car battery has a capacity of around 60Ah, requiring a charging current of one-tenth of the battery capacity—6A. Charging at home requires careful timing. Most people charge overnight, with an average charging time of about 8 hours. If the charging current is too high, the battery may charge quickly, leading to overcharging. This can cause the battery to lose water, overheat, or even burn out. Poor-quality batteries may even explode.

What is Car Glazing?

Car glazing is a process that involves multiple steps to form a protective film on the car's paint surface, similar to the outer coating of ceramic products like 'Tang Tri-color Pottery'. Below are the specific details about glazing: 1. Functions of glazing: It provides UV protection, anti-oxidation, and resistance to high temperatures and acid rain. After glazing, the car's paint can achieve enhanced glossiness and hardness. A genuine car glazing treatment is quite complex and takes about 3 to 4 hours. 2. The glazing process: First, a cleaning clay made from volcanic ash is used to meticulously wipe the paint surface, removing dust and oil stains. Then, an electrostatic wheel combined with a gloss enhancer is used to eliminate impurities and oxidized layers on the car's paint surface, smoothing out minor scratches and filling them in. Simultaneously, the treatment solution penetrates the paint to restore its original condition, achieving a rejuvenated and vibrant effect.

What does the defogging symbol in a car look like?

The defogging switch symbol features a front windshield with three upward-waving lines. Below are some precautions for winter driving: 1. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): Locked tires can cause loss of control on slippery roads. Always activate ABS to prevent tire lock-up and potential hazards. When ABS is engaged, you may feel a 'kickback' sensation when braking, which is normal. 2. Rearview Mirrors: If your car is parked outdoors during snowfall, snow may accumulate on the body. Many drivers only clear the front windshield before driving, neglecting the rear window, which can obstruct the rearview mirrors—a dangerous practice. Always clear snow from the entire car to ensure mirrors remain unobstructed. 3. ESP Function: Some vehicles come equipped with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), a stability control system that helps maintain vehicle stability and prevents skidding. If your car has ESP, remember to turn it on.

What to Do If You Didn't Swipe Your ETC Card When Exiting the Highway?

If you didn't swipe your ETC card when exiting the highway, you can contact the bank, the toll station and highway company, or call the highway service hotline. Below are two situations regarding not swiping the ETC card when exiting the highway: 1. Not swiping the card: If the vehicle entered the highway via ETC but didn't swipe the card when exiting, the next time the vehicle enters the highway, the entry point will be the same as the previous exit point. If it's within the free time period, no charge will be applied. If it's within the charging time period, the fee will be calculated based on the distance from the point where the ETC card was swiped at the highway entry to the current entry point. 2. Unsuccessful swipe: If the ETC vehicle fails to swipe the card successfully when exiting the toll station but has already exited, meaning the ETC card wasn't successfully swiped, the vehicle won't be able to enter the highway via the ETC lane next time. This situation is easy to handle—just give the ETC card to the toll station staff to swipe it.
