Lavida's windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the front engine compartment, near the engine. Precautions for the reservoir: The reservoir is marked with a warning not to open the cap when the engine is at high temperature. Do not fill the car reservoir with ordinary water (tap water, mineral water). It is necessary to add automotive engine coolant (which does not freeze at 0 degrees and does not boil at 100 degrees). Coolant does not produce scale and ensures the cleanliness of the engine's water passages. The maintenance method for the car reservoir is as follows: Park the vehicle and turn off the engine. After the coolant temperature has dropped, open the expansion tank and add the radiator cleaner. Start the engine and let it idle for 5-10 minutes after the cooling fan starts working. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper of the vehicle. When disassembling, make sure all fixing screws have been loosened, and then slowly disassemble from both ends to the middle, being careful not to break the fixing clips. Ensure that the coolant temperature has completely cooled down, then drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant, and finally replace it with new engine coolant.

Will an automatic transmission car move when shifted to D gear without pressing the accelerator?

An automatic transmission car will move when shifted to D gear without pressing the accelerator. During driving, if you need to stop and wait, it is recommended to shift the car to P gear. If the car is on an upward slope with a steep angle and the brake is not pressed, even if the car is in D gear, it will not move forward and may even roll backward. On a downhill slope without pressing the brake, the car will definitely move forward. It is important to note that some car models will not move forward when shifted to D gear without pressing the accelerator, requiring the driver to press the accelerator to continue moving. This is related to the type of transmission power coupling device. For example, Audi cars use a multi-plate clutch in their transmission. When shifted to D gear, the clutch remains disengaged, and the engine power is not transmitted, so the car will not move forward. When the driver presses the accelerator, the clutch gradually engages, allowing power to be transmitted. If the car does not move, it may be due to an incorrect signal from the transmission shift valve position sensor.

What is the correct way to wait at a red light with an automatic transmission?

Correct method for waiting at a red light with automatic transmission: If the red light lasts about 10 seconds, you can stay in D gear and step on the brake, then drive directly when the light turns green; if the red light lasts longer than half a minute, it is recommended to shift to N gear, because D gear is the forward gear and always has power output, while N gear is neutral and does not wear the transmission. Do not use P gear when waiting at a red light. If P gear is used and the vehicle behind rear-ends your car, the transmission may be damaged. The difference between P gear and N gear is that P gear has a locking mechanism, while N gear does not. After shifting to P gear, the locking mechanism locks the gears of the transmission, which is equivalent to indirectly locking the wheels. The car will not move even if the handbrake is not applied. After shifting to N gear, there is no locking mechanism to lock the transmission gears. If the handbrake is not applied at this time, the car may roll.

What is the correct sequence for shutting down and parking an automatic transmission vehicle?

Automatic transmission shutdown and parking sequence: Brake and shift to N gear, engage the electronic parking brake, release the brake pedal, shift to P gear, and then turn off the engine. Directly turning off the engine while shifting into P gear can damage the vehicle's transmission and engine. When an automatic transmission vehicle is shifted into P gear first, the locking mechanism and transmission are already engaged. At this point, applying the parking brake becomes ineffective, and prolonged practice of this can harm the transmission, especially noticeable on slopes. After shifting into P gear and then applying the parking brake, you may still feel slight vehicle movement. The P gear function is similar to the gear-lock feature in manual transmission vehicles, serving only as an auxiliary braking mechanism. Starting and temporary stopping procedures for automatic transmission vehicles: Vehicle starting: When starting the vehicle, ensure the gear is in P or N position. First turn the key to the ON position to check all dashboard indicator lights for normal operation. Then press the brake pedal and shift into N gear to start the ignition. When the engine speed drops below 1000 RPM, shift into D gear for normal driving. Temporary stopping: Temporary stops mainly occur at traffic lights. For short waiting periods, you may keep the gear in D while holding the brake pedal. For extended waiting times, shift into N gear while maintaining brake pressure.

What procedures are required for vehicle deregistration?

Required: ; Vehicle Registration Certificate; Vehicle License; License Plate; Owner's ID Card. To deregister at the DMV, the vehicle must be surrendered. Below is relevant information about vehicle scrapping: 1. Non-commercial vehicles: According to the Road Traffic Law of the People's Republic of China, non-commercial vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years for cars and 10 years for motorcycles; commercial vehicles require mandatory annual inspections, with a scrapping period of 10 years for cars. 2. Private cars: The usage period for 'private cars' is more lenient. According to regulations, non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer have a normal usage period of 16 years, with an extended usage period from the 16th to the 20th year, during which they must be inspected twice annually. 3. Other vehicles: The scrapping periods vary for other types of vehicles. Among passenger vehicles, commercial large buses have a normal usage period of 10 years, with a 2-year extension, requiring two annual inspections during this period, followed by an additional usage period of 1 to 2 years, totaling 14 years. Non-commercial buses with more than 9 seats have a normal usage period of 10 years, with a total usage period of 20 years. Large trucks have a normal usage period of 10 years, totaling 14 years; light trucks with a gross weight between 1.8 tons and 6 tons have a normal usage period of 10 years, totaling 15 years, while mini trucks with a gross weight of 1.8 tons have a normal usage period of 8 years, with no extension allowed, totaling 8 years.

What is the lifespan of a fuel-powered vehicle?

There is no specific regulation on the usage duration of household fuel-powered vehicles, but the mileage limit is 600,000 kilometers. For commercial passenger vehicles, the mandatory scrapping period is 8 years. Non-commercial small and micro vehicles have no usage duration limit, but when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide them to be scrapped. Penalties for driving scrapped vehicles on the road: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," driving assembled motor vehicles or motor vehicles that have reached the scrapping standard on the road will result in confiscation and mandatory scrapping by the traffic management department of the public security organ. The driver will be fined and have their motor vehicle driving license revoked. Vehicle scrapping process: The owner of the motor vehicle must present their identity proof, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle driving license, and license plate to the business department of the motor vehicle dismantling factory to fill out the "Motor Vehicle Suspension, Resumption/Cancellation Registration Application Form." They must then wait for notification at the license management counter for fee payment and license plate collection. The registration acceptance counter will issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, the motor vehicle inspection counter will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice." The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the notice. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Change Form," "XX Province Updated Vehicle Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license will be recycled, and the case will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.

What octane gasoline should the Volkswagen Tayron use?

The Tayron should use 95 octane gasoline, as recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is higher, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower octane gasoline. This is because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane rating and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Tayron occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the tank is empty. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: Using a higher octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for lower octane will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Using lower octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for higher octane can cause engine knocking. Because the octane rating is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, resistance occurs during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions. The vibrations not only affect driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to severe engine damage.
