Volkswagen windshield washer fluid reservoir is located on the right side of the engine compartment cover, with a cap marked with a washer symbol. Here are the functional features of windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning performance: Windshield washer fluid is composed of various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal effects. 2. Antifreeze performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing antifreeze protection and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring clear and transparent windshield visibility.

Why is the car shaking violently?

The reasons for severe car shaking may include the following three: 1. Unbalanced wheels: Wheel imbalance is a common issue in many cars. Since it's impossible to ensure uniform quality during the manufacturing of tires and steel rims, wheels need to undergo dynamic balancing after assembly. Moreover, as tires wear out over time, periodic dynamic balancing is necessary after certain mileage. 2. Loose suspension components: The chassis suspension consists of various links and support arms, connected through ball joints and rubber bushings. Normally, these connections are tight, but as ball joints and bushings wear out, the components loosen, causing the suspension to become loose and resulting in body shaking while driving. 3. Excessive steering gear clearance: The car's steering system uses a rack-and-pinion mechanism to convert the steering wheel's rotation into wheel movement. Over time, wear between the gear and rack creates play, causing slight lateral wheel movement even without steering input, which leads to a sensation of body shaking.

How to turn off the hill start assist after it is activated?

Hill start assist is a default function that cannot be turned off. Here is some information about hill start assist: 1. This function usually does not have a button. When the car is parked on a slope with the gear in the forward position and the brake pedal is released, the hill start assist will automatically activate. In some vehicles, the function will activate after the brake pedal is pressed. The braking time is only a few seconds, and there is a risk of rolling back if the accelerator is not pressed in time. 2. The hill start assist system on a car is usually integrated with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). If the ESP on the car remains turned on, the hill start assist function will also remain on by default.

Where to apply for an ETC card?

ETC can be applied for at bank branches, expressway service areas, and other institutions. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card must also be provided. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a Postal Savings credit card application form is required, as this credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, you can swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a personal vehicle. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which means an electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopied versions of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is made by someone other than the owner, the agent's valid ID card must also be provided. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting expressway toll fees is also required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a personal vehicle. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply inclined windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it on the right side behind the rearview mirror can help avoid obstructing the view. Avoid affecting charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing the same device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front malfunctioning, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.
