Regarding the daytime running lights (DRLs) switch on the new Lavida, I know many friends are curious about its exact location. In fact, the DRLs on the Volkswagen New Lavida are automatically activated and there is no separate physical button. If you want to control them manually, you need to operate the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel: normally, turn the stalk to the Auto position, and the DRLs will illuminate when the engine starts; if you turn it to the Off position or Parking position, you might temporarily turn them off. However, regulations require DRLs to operate automatically while driving, so it's not recommended to keep them off for long. If you encounter issues, try the dashboard menu: press the Menu button on the steering wheel, scroll to find the lighting settings option, and see if you can switch to manual mode. As an owner, I often remind everyone to check the manual first—DRLs are designed for safety, and keeping them on helps avoid accidents.

Can Flat Feet Operate the Clutch Pedal?

Flat feet can operate the clutch pedal. Clutch: The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, and it can connect or disconnect the engine from the transmission. The clutch is used when shifting gears or starting the vehicle. Manual transmission vehicles are equipped with a clutch pedal. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch disengages. When the clutch pedal is released, the clutch engages. Correct Method of Operating the Clutch: The correct way to operate the clutch is to use the ball of the foot (forefoot) to press the clutch pedal, with the heel serving as the pivot point. Avoid keeping the foot on the clutch pedal for extended periods; do not press the clutch every time the brake is applied, as this may keep the clutch in a semi-engaged state for too long. When going downhill, press the clutch first before applying the brake.

What Stage Are New Energy Vehicles In?

New energy vehicles are currently in a phase of very rapid development. New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that utilize unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures. Current Status of New Energy Vehicles: China's new energy vehicle industry has experienced rapid development over the past few years and is transitioning from the embryonic stage to the growth stage. The number of new energy vehicles in use has increased more than ninefold in five years. Due to China's adherence to the pure electric drive strategy, pure electric vehicles account for a large proportion of the total number of vehicles in use. In 2020, the number of pure electric vehicles in use reached 4 million, accounting for more than 80% of the total.

How many centimeters is a 16-inch wheel rim?

A 16-inch wheel rim has a diameter of 16*2.54=40.64 centimeters. Tires primarily serve functions such as dry grip, hydroplaning resistance, providing comfort, reducing driving noise, impact resistance, wet grip, load-bearing capacity, handling performance, average wear, and mileage. Below is relevant information about tires: Tire lifespan: The wear lifespan of tires is 30,000-50,000 kilometers. If tires haven't reached the wear limit or mileage but have been in use for 5 years or developed significant sidewall cracks, they need replacement. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging duration for rubber - from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile - doesn't exceed 10 years, with the average service life of various rubber products in use being 3-5 years.

What Stage is a 150,000 km Engine In?

An engine with 150,000 kilometers of mileage is in the natural wear stage. Engine stages can be divided into the following three scenarios: New engine (or overhauled engine) break-in wear stage: During this period, due to the initial surface roughness of newly fitted components, wear occurs relatively quickly, commonly referred to as break-in wear. Natural wear stage: After the break-in period, the wear rate slows down, the wear amount stabilizes, and it increases uniformly over a long period. This phase is called the normal working period, and the wear during this time is termed natural wear. Catastrophic wear stage: Once the natural wear reaches the wear limit point, the increased clearance prevents the oil film from being maintained, lubrication conditions deteriorate, impacts begin to occur, and wear accelerates sharply. The components quickly lose their working capability until failure. This period is known as the repair interval or repair period for fitted components, also referred to as the catastrophic wear stage.

What is the principle of the Shidai Jingang air brake cut-off?

The principle of the Shidai Jingang air brake cut-off is the same as that of a regular air brake. Differences between the air brake cut-off and the regular parking brake: There is an essential difference in the parking brake mechanism. Conventional air brakes use a central disc brake system, which is manually operated, whereas the air brake cut-off employs an energy-storing spring air brake system, which is power-operated. Their energy supply devices are entirely different. Differences in usage between the air brake cut-off and the regular brake: The parking brake of a conventional air brake can only be used when the vehicle is stationary because its braking torque acts on the drive shaft. If used while the vehicle is in motion, it can easily cause severe overloading of the drive shaft and rear axle. Additionally, locking the differential housing may result in opposite rotational directions of the left and right wheels, leading to braking deviation or even a spin during braking. However, the energy-storing spring brake is different. On the contrary, because the travel distance of the energy-storing spring parking brake is greater than that of the service brake, it can be used for emergency braking when the service braking force is insufficient. Therefore, the energy-storing spring brake can serve not only as a parking brake but also as an emergency brake. Compared to conventional air brakes, the air brake cut-off system offers superior stability and safety in braking.

Until Which Year Does the 2016 Vehicle Exemption from Inspection Last?

A 2016 vehicle's exemption from inspection lasts until 2022. The definition of an inspection-exempt vehicle is that it is exempt from on-site inspection within the first 6 years, and 2022 marks the sixth year. According to regulations, within the three months before the vehicle's registration date, the vehicle must be taken to the vehicle management office for on-site inspection. Many people have some misunderstandings about the definition of inspection-exempt vehicles, thinking that a 6-year exemption means no annual inspection is required, but this is not actually the case. New regulations on vehicle inspection timing: For new vehicles, inspections are required every two years for the first six years, and then annually thereafter. The inspection month is the month of the vehicle's registration. Additionally, if the timing is inconvenient, inspections can be done up to three months in advance (for example, if the inspection month is June, inspections can be done in April, May, or June). Early inspection does not affect the timing of the next inspection. Considering most people's habits, congestion usually occurs at the end of the month, so it is recommended to prepare early at the beginning of the month. Documents required for vehicle inspection: Vehicle registration certificate, copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy, ID card of the person conducting the inspection, triangular warning sign, and fire extinguisher. (Vehicle violations must be resolved, and no modifications are allowed on the vehicle body).
