Precautions for winter driving include: 1. Clean the windshield thoroughly before driving to maintain visibility; 2. Prevent windshield icing by turning on the car's heater and using a dedicated ice scraper to remove ice slowly in the same direction; 3. Start gently and accelerate smoothly, decelerate in advance; 4. When starting and accelerating, apply the throttle lightly and gradually to prevent tire slippage and skidding; 5. On snowy or icy roads, try to drive in a straight line and avoid frequent lane changes; 6. When decelerating, make full use of the engine's resistance to slow down, immediately reducing the engine speed to force the drive wheels to slow down, thereby decelerating the vehicle.

Why does the old Passat have a strong smell in the cabin?

If the old Passat has a strong smell in the cabin, it is recommended to check whether the car's air filter needs to be replaced. Delayed replacement of the air filter may lead to strong odors inside the car. There are many reasons for the heavy smell of exhaust in the cabin of an old car. It could be that with the windows closed, the external air circulation is turned on, causing exhaust fumes to enter the cabin. There might also be a leak in the engine's emission system. Additional information: If the car is equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation system, it could be due to abnormal operation of this system. Another possibility is poor sealing of the car's weatherstripping, or engine operational faults that require related inspections.

What are the tire brands starting with the letter G?

There are two types of tires starting with the letter G, namely Giti Tires and Goodyear Tires. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Tire Introduction: Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground. Some car owners only replace the tires on the drive wheels when changing tires. For example, some front-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two front tires, while some rear-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two rear tires. In fact, this practice is acceptable. 2. Tire Aging: Tires are rubber products and will age over time with prolonged use. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low within those four years. Since tires can also age when left unused for extended periods, it is important to check the production date when purchasing new tires.

Is 10L/100km Fuel Consumption High in Urban Areas?

A fuel consumption of 10L per 100 kilometers in urban areas is normal. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Maintain proper tire pressure: The normal tire pressure range is generally between 2.3-2.5 bar. If the tire pressure is lower than this value, the contact area between the tire tread and the ground increases, resulting in greater frictional resistance, which naturally leads to higher fuel consumption. 2. Regular vehicle maintenance: Timely maintenance ensures the lubrication effect of engine oil on the powertrain system, helps detect vehicle issues promptly, and reduces carbon deposits, which naturally assists in lowering vehicle fuel consumption.

Can I roll down the windows 24 hours after car window tinting?

You should not roll down the windows 24 hours after car window tinting. It is recommended to avoid raising or lowering the windows for a week after tinting (minimum 7 days, maximum 15 days), as the film has not fully dried between the glass and may shift. Additionally, do not use the defroster for the windshield in a short time, avoid directing air conditioning vents straight at the windows, and refrain from hanging objects on the windows for a week. Precautions for car window tinting: 1. Do not pick at the edges of the tint film near the window corners to prevent dirt from entering; 2. If bubbles are found, have them addressed at a car detailing shop within 24 hours; 3. Avoid sticking adhesive labels (such as compulsory insurance stickers or inspection stickers) directly onto the tint film; 4. Try to avoid washing the car within three days after tinting to prevent the film from peeling off due to moisture.
