To turn off the ambient lights in the Golf, there is a control knob for the lights located on the left side at the bottom of the steering wheel. First, press the knob 1-2 millimeters, then rotate it counterclockwise to the end to turn on the ambient lights. To turn them off, rotate the knob counterclockwise back to its original position. Ambient lights in the car are decorative lighting, usually in colors like red, blue, or green, primarily to make the cabin more vibrant at night, enhance the atmosphere, and create an interior mood. Below are the drawbacks of installing ambient lights in a vehicle: 1. Affects driving safety: Flashing or overly bright ambient lights can impair the driver's view outside the car, divert their attention, and compromise nighttime driving safety. 2. Damages the car battery: It increases power consumption to some extent, affecting the car battery's lifespan. 3. Blows the fuse: While ambient lights are convenient for passengers, they offer no benefit to the car itself. Excessive external power consumption may blow the fuse. 4. Low practicality: Ambient lights are only available in some high-end models, offering limited practical benefits. The aesthetic appeal comes at the cost of safety, making ambient lights a flashy yet impractical feature.

What causes poor cooling performance in a sedan's air conditioning system?

Possible reasons include a dirty air filter, too much or too little refrigerant. Below is a detailed explanation of sedan air conditioning cooling performance: 1. Principle: The automotive air conditioning refrigeration system consists of a compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. These components are connected by copper pipes and high-pressure rubber hoses to form a sealed system. When the refrigeration system operates, the refrigerant circulates through this sealed system in different states. 2. Basic process: Each cycle is divided into four fundamental processes: compression process, heat dissipation process, throttling process, and heat absorption process.

How long after replacing the windshield can film be applied?

Glass adhesive typically takes one to three days to fully dry depending on quality and seasonal factors. During this incomplete drying period, film should not be applied, though driving is permissible. Below are relevant details about film application: 1. Avoid applying film within seven days after windshield replacement; for rear windshield replacement, keep windows closed during the first three days of driving to prevent displacement caused by wind pressure. 2. Precautions for glass film: It's best not to remove the film yourself - peeling off rear windshield film can easily damage the heating wires, disabling the defrosting function. This makes snow or frost removal difficult during winter, compromising driving safety.

Are there any issues with installing 20mm wheel spacers?

Installing 20mm wheel spacers does come with certain problems. Here are the impacts of adding wheel spacers to tires: 1. Damage to axle shafts: While driving on smooth roads may be fine, driving on uneven roads will cause more severe vehicle jolts, which can damage the universal joints of the axle shafts. 2. Impact on wheels: The quality of wheel spacers varies greatly. If a spacer gets damaged, it can affect the original vehicle wheels, often leading to deformation or even breakage. If a wheel detaches from the vehicle body, serious accidents may occur. 3. Tire wear: One of the purposes of vehicle suspension tuning is to reduce abnormal tire wear. Adding spacers changes the wheel track, which can cause abnormal tire wear. 4. Fender rubbing: The vehicle should not be overloaded, as mentioned in the third point, because it can lead to abnormal tire wear and sometimes even cause the tires to rub against the fenders.

What brand of tire is aptany?

aptany is Apache tires. Here are the detailed introductions of related contents: Tire Introduction: Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for rolling on the ground. They are usually mounted on metal rims, capable of supporting the vehicle body, buffering external impacts, achieving contact with the road surface, and ensuring the driving performance of the vehicle. Tire Functions: Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions. During driving, they endure various deformations, loads, resistances, and high and low temperature effects. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are also required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

Can Yellow License Plate Vehicles and Blue License Plate Vehicles Have the Same Number?

Automobiles with yellow license plates and blue license plates can have the same number. In vehicle license plates, yellow plates represent large vehicles, while blue plates represent small vehicles. The two types of plates can share the same plate number because the vehicle types are distinctly different. Differences between yellow plate vehicles and blue plate vehicles: Different driver's license requirements: Blue plate vehicles can be driven with a C-class license, while yellow plate vehicles require a B-class license. Different commercial operation permit requirements: Yellow plate vehicles need a commercial operation permit, whereas blue plate vehicles do not. Different toll fees: Comparatively, toll fees for driving yellow plate vehicles are higher, while those for blue plate vehicles are lower. Different applicable vehicle types: Yellow plates are used for large vehicles, agricultural vehicles, driving school vehicles, and prototype test vehicles. Blue plates are mainly used for small passenger vehicles (including light-duty trucks). Different urban traffic restrictions (in major cities and key prefecture-level cities): Generally, yellow plate vehicles require a special permit to enter urban areas, while blue plate vehicles can enter urban areas directly without needing a permit.
