Use low beam lights when facing oncoming traffic at night. When encountering oncoming traffic: If low beams were already in use, no adjustment is needed; if high beams were previously on, they should be switched to low beams in advance. Otherwise, high beams may prevent the oncoming driver from accurately judging your vehicle's width, potentially causing accidents. After passing the oncoming vehicle, assess road conditions to determine whether to switch back to high beams. When overtaking, use turn signals: Activate the turn signal in advance, then honk and rapidly toggle between high and low beams to alert the vehicle ahead. After confirming the leading vehicle has no intention of changing lanes, execute the overtaking maneuver promptly. Avoid prolonged side-by-side driving. Upon completing the overtake, when sufficient distance from the overtaken vehicle has been established, activate the turn signal and return to the original lane by moving right.

What does TCS stand for?

TCS stands for: TCS is the Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System. It determines whether the drive wheels are slipping by comparing the rotational speed of the drive wheels with that of the transmission wheels. When the former exceeds the latter, it suppresses the speed of the drive wheels as an anti-slip control system, which operates very similarly to the ABS, with both using sensors and brake regulators. Methods by which TCS controls wheel slip: 1. When the drive wheels slip, it uses the brake system to increase the brake fluid pressure on the slipping wheel, applying appropriate braking to limit wheel slip; 2. Additionally, it controls the engine's power output by delaying ignition timing, reducing fuel injection volume, or adjusting valve opening to decrease the driving force on the drive wheels and prevent them from slipping.

Which Side of the Oil Seal Faces the Oil?

The grooved side of the oil seal faces the oil. Concept of Oil Seal: An oil seal, also known as a shaft seal, is a component used in machinery to prevent fluid (mostly lubricating oil) from leaking at joints (mostly at the mating surfaces of parts or rotating shafts). Sealing elements used for static sealing and dynamic sealing (generally reciprocating motion) are called sealing components. Representative Form of Oil Seal: The representative form of oil seal is the TC oil seal, which is a double-lip oil seal with a self-tightening spring completely covered by rubber. Generally, the term oil seal often refers to this type of TC skeleton oil seal. Oil seals are generally divided into single-piece type and assembly type. The assembly type allows free combination of the skeleton and lip material, usually used for special oil seals.

Why can't the fuel tank cap of the Passat Lingyu be opened?

Reasons why the fuel tank cap of the Passat cannot be opened include the fuel tank cap being stuck or the hinge of the fuel tank cap being rusty. Hidden functions of the fuel tank cap: The octane rating of the gasoline the car uses; a hidden drainage outlet for the car's drainage; marking the tire pressure of the car and the standard range of tire pressure. How to open the fuel tank cap: The in-car switch is currently the most common way to open the fuel tank door, which is certainly more convenient compared to using a key. The position of the in-car switch varies among different car models. Some are located on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, some on the left front door panel or the center console, marked with an icon resembling a fuel pump.

Can Anti-Slip Chains Be Used on Urban Roads?

Anti-slip chains can be used on urban roads, but only on snow and ice-covered surfaces. They are strictly prohibited on regular roads. Concept and Classification of Anti-Slip Chains: Anti-slip chains are generally made of steel or rubber and serve the function of preventing skidding. Based on their structure, anti-slip chains can be divided into two types: one is a pre-formed chain cover, and the other consists of several separate chains installed in a cross pattern. The latter is simpler and more affordable but less convenient to install compared to the former. Precautions for Using Anti-Slip Chains: For front-wheel-drive vehicles, the chains should be installed on the front two wheels, while for rear-wheel-drive vehicles, they should be installed on the rear wheels. Notably, for four-wheel-drive vehicles, anti-slip chains must be installed on all wheels. Improper installation may lead to skidding or loss of balance.
