Washer button, wiper control lever, lift it directly upwards. Button location: Washer button, wiper control lever, lift it directly upwards; just like flashing the headlights a few times at night, water will automatically spray out and the wipers will also start working automatically. Extension: The Bora's center console buttons include: Electronic Stability Program (ESP) - effectively prevents body skidding, fishtailing, and other loss of control situations. It is generally not recommended for drivers to manually turn it off; Hazard warning lights - used for special situations such as car breakdowns or temporary parking, mainly serving to warn other vehicles; Parking radar/camera - the central display screen shows the reversing image, and the radar will sound an alarm when detecting nearby obstacles; Driving assistance system with warning protection, close distance warning, and fatigue reminder functions; Auto Hold - at traffic lights, it relieves foot fatigue by automatically locking the wheels with the brake calipers. Pressing the accelerator again will allow the vehicle to continue moving; Auto Start-Stop - during brief stops, the engine will shut off. When the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal, the vehicle will restart; Door buttons - located on the driver's door of the Volkswagen Bora: rear window lock button, one-touch up/down window control switches for all four doors, external mirror adjustment switch (with heating function), and the trunk lid switch is located below the door armrest; Roof buttons - welcome light, driver reading light, passenger reading light, interior light switch, and sunroof switch.

To be honest, I've been driving for over a decade, from the old Bora to the latest models, and the windshield washer button location is consistently fixed. It's right on the stalk to the right of the steering wheel - just gently press the end of the lever to spray and clean the windshield. Volkswagen's design is very user-friendly, allowing you to operate it without distracting your hands from the wheel. I recommend regularly checking the washer system - use dedicated windshield fluid instead of tap water in the reservoir to prevent nozzle clogging and avoid freezing damage in winter. If the spray is weak, it might be due to clogged nozzles or an empty reservoir, which can usually be fixed with simple cleaning. Don't neglect routine maintenance either, as wiper cleaning directly impacts visibility and driving safety.

Changing Lanes: To the Left or Right?

When changing lanes from the fast lane, move to the right; when changing lanes from the slow lane, move to the left. Here are some additional details: 1. Lane-changing techniques: Before changing lanes from the slow lane, quickly turn on the left turn signal, observe the traffic behind you to ensure safety, and after three seconds of signaling, steer left to smoothly enter the left lane; when changing lanes from the fast lane, turn on the right turn signal, check the right rearview mirror for safety, and after three seconds of signaling, smoothly merge into the travel lane; if the turn signal does not automatically cancel, remember to turn it off manually. 2. Precautions: If space allows, accelerate to a speed faster than the vehicle behind you in the target lane; if there isn't enough space to accelerate, try to minimize the speed difference between your vehicle and the one behind you. Always signal in advance—don't turn the steering wheel and activate the turn signal simultaneously—to give others enough time to react.

What Insurance Must Be Purchased for a New Car?

New cars require the purchase of compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, comprehensive theft insurance, and no-deductible insurance. Below is more related information: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance is a legally mandated insurance that every car owner must purchase. It effectively ensures basic insurance claims in the event of a traffic accident. After purchasing compulsory traffic insurance, a traffic compulsory insurance emblem will be issued to the car owner, which must be affixed to the front windshield of the car. Failure to comply may result in a 1-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine from traffic police. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance covers situations where the insured or an authorized driver causes damage to the insured vehicle during an accident, with the insurance company providing compensation within reasonable limits. 3. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Third-party liability insurance covers compensation for bodily injury or direct property damage to individuals other than the driver and passengers of the insured vehicle in an accident. For example, if a car accidentally hits an electric bike, the insurance company will cover the damage to the bike and any injuries to its rider. 4. Comprehensive Theft Insurance: As the name suggests, this insurance provides compensation for losses due to the theft or robbery of the entire vehicle. If the vehicle is stolen and not recovered within 60-90 days after being reported to the county-level or higher public security criminal investigation department, the insurance company will directly compensate the owner. 5. No-Deductible Insurance: The full name of no-deductible insurance is the 'No-Deductible Rate Special Clause,' which is a type of additional insurance. In many accident compensations, insurance companies may apply a 5%-20% deductible rate. By purchasing no-deductible insurance, the car owner can avoid these deductibles and receive full compensation.

Why is the design of left clutch, middle brake, and right accelerator pedal arranged this way?

Left clutch, middle brake, and right accelerator pedal are designed this way to align with human habits, enabling drivers to react quickly in dangerous situations. Here are additional details: 1. Human instinct: The most comfortable natural sitting posture for humans is with legs slightly apart. In a relaxed state, both feet tend to point outward, which is why the most frequently used accelerator and clutch pedals are positioned where the feet naturally rest, reducing fatigue. In terms of usage frequency, the accelerator is used more often than the brake, making the left-brake-right-accelerator arrangement more logical. 2. Correct operation: Pivot on the right heel and rotate the foot left or right to press the pedals.

How to Judge the Distance Between Left Reverse Parking and the Sideline?

Left reverse parking and the distance to the sideline can be judged by parking slightly to the right between the two yellow dashed lines, maintaining approximately 1.5 meters from the left sideline. Below are additional details: 1. Exam Preparation: Adjust the seat first after getting into the car, fasten the seatbelt, and adjust the rearview mirror to its lowest position. 2. Parking Technique: When entering the reverse parking test area, keep the car 1.5 meters away from the outer sideline. Parking too far may lead to crossing the line during reversing, while parking too close may make it impossible to reverse into the space. When starting the left reverse parking, observe through the lower edge of the left rearview mirror. When the control line aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Similarly, when stopping during reverse parking, observe through the lower edge of the left rearview mirror and stop when the lower edge aligns with the parking space sideline. The method for exiting the parking space is the same as for left reverse parking.

How are Volkswagen cars classified?

Volkswagen models can be distinguished through the Golf. Stretching it makes the Passat, renaming it turns into the Magotan, removing one rear seat creates the CC, stretching it further becomes the Phaeton, squaring it forms the Touran, adding three rear seats transforms it into the Sharan, converting it into an SUV results in the Tiguan, enlarging it further produces the Touareg, flattening it yields the Scirocco, modifying the rear end gives the Sagitar, and shrinking it down becomes the Polo. Inflating it a bit turns it into the Beetle. 1. Differentiation can be made from the following points: Volkswagen models are indeed very similar. You can distinguish them by looking at the model name at the rear of the car or by examining the front. For example, the Magotan has four front grille bars, while the Passat has three, and the new Lavida has two. Additionally, you can judge by the wheelbase: the longest is the Phaeton, B-class includes the CC, Magotan, Passat, and CC, which are easier to recognize; A-class sedans include the Lavida (from Shanghai Volkswagen), Bora, Sagitar, Jetta, and hatchbacks like the Golf and Polo. The MVP is the Touran. 2. Chinese names for Volkswagen rear badges: MAGOTAN - Magotan, SAGITAR - Sagitar, JETTA - Jetta, SANTANA - Santana, SANTANAVISTA - Santana Vista, GOLF - Golf, GOL - Gol, LAVIDA - Lavida, BORA - Bora, BEETLE - Beetle, CADDY - Caddy, PHAETON - Phaeton, SCIROCCO - Scirocco, TIGUAN - Tiguan, TOURAN - Touran, TOUREG - Touareg, SHARON - Sharan, PASSAT - Passat. CC/POLO/EOS/MULTIVAN do not have Chinese names.
