On the center console panel, there is a "CD/AUX" button with a CLOCK mark. Press and hold that button until you hear a beep, then you can proceed with the settings. More details about the Civic are as follows: 1. In terms of appearance, the 10th generation Civic shares the same body design as the North American version. However, to cater to the aesthetic preferences of Chinese consumers, the ninth-generation Civic model added chrome decorations around the front grille and fog lights, enhancing its premium feel. Additionally, the central part of the ninth-generation Civic's front bumper features a mesh design, which is more sporty compared to the horizontal bar style of the North American version. 2. In the rear design, the Civic and the North American version differ only in some minor details. The most noticeable difference is the tail lights, which adopt a design similar to the Accord, with a rectangular light body added to the trunk lid. The red and white alternating design incorporates the functions of rear fog lights and reflectors.

Alright, I'm a 10th-gen Civic owner and have been driving this car for two to three years. Setting the date and year is actually quite simple, mainly done through the instrument cluster. First, start the engine—you don't need to drive off. Then, look at the row of buttons on the left side of the steering wheel; there's a small menu-like icon. Press it to enter the main interface. Scroll up or down to find System Settings, then locate the Clock option. Once inside, you'll see the date and year settings, which can be adjusted using the arrow buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. The key is to do this while the car is parked, as the system might lock date editing while driving. Keeping the time accurate is pretty important—navigation logs and maintenance reminders rely on it—so I recommend checking it monthly to prevent date skips. New owners shouldn't be afraid to navigate through the menus; the infotainment system is designed to be user-friendly.

How many points are deducted for speeding between 10% and 20%?

Speeding between 10% and 20% results in a deduction of 3 points. Below are the specific details regarding road speed limits and penalties: Penalty regulations: Speeding within 10% of the road speed limit results in a warning without point deduction. Speeding between 10% and 20% incurs a 3-point deduction. Speeding between 20% and 50% incurs a 6-point deduction. Speeding over 50% results in a 12-point deduction. Formula for calculating speeding percentage: (Speed/Limit Speed - 1) × 100. For example, if the speed limit is 70 km/h and the vehicle speed is 80 km/h, divide 80 by 70, subtract 1, and multiply by 100 to get 14.28, meaning the speeding percentage is 14%.

What are the penalties for motor vehicles driving into non-motorized vehicle lanes?

According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," when special lanes are designated on roads, only specified vehicles are allowed to travel within these lanes, and other vehicles must not enter them. Motor vehicle drivers who violate the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will be subject to warnings or fines. If there are additional provisions in this law, penalties will be imposed accordingly. If other violations are involved or traffic accidents are caused, heavier penalties will be imposed according to the law. Extension: There are three situations where accidentally driving into a non-motorized vehicle lane will not be penalized: 1. The boundary between the non-motorized vehicle lane and the right-turn lane is a dashed line. 2. There are clear signs indicating that borrowing the lane is permitted. 3. On sections where auxiliary lanes are allowed, right turns can be made using the auxiliary lane.

What Causes a Car to Roll Back When Starting?

Here is the relevant introduction to rolling back when starting: Inertia movement: Rolling back refers to coasting in neutral or with the clutch disengaged. Simply put, it means when the car is moving quickly, pressing the clutch or shifting to neutral and relying solely on the car's inertia to move forward. Improper clutch-throttle coordination: When starting on a slope, the phenomenon of the car moving backward due to improper clutch-throttle coordination is also called rolling back. To prevent the car from rolling back when starting, the left foot must slowly release the clutch first. When you feel the front of the car noticeably vibrating, the right foot should gradually release the brake. After the brake is fully released, the left foot can slowly release the clutch while maintaining a steady position. Then, the right hand releases the handbrake, and the car will slowly move forward. This operation ensures the car does not roll backward.

What is the penalty for a motorcycle overloaded with 4 people?

The penalty for a motorcycle overloaded with 4 people is the detention of the motor vehicle, and the driver will be notified to provide a driving license. Below are the specific regulations regarding motor vehicle passenger limits: 1. Passenger vehicles on highways: Highway passenger vehicles must not exceed the approved number of passengers, excluding children who are exempt from tickets as per regulations. When the passenger limit is full, the number of exempt children must not exceed 10% of the approved passenger capacity. 2. Cargo vehicles: The cargo compartment of cargo vehicles must not carry passengers. On urban roads, freight motor vehicles may carry 1 to 5 temporary workers in the cargo compartment if there is a safe space available; when the height of the cargo exceeds the compartment's sideboards, no one is allowed on the cargo. 3. Motorcycles: The rear seat of a motorcycle must not carry children under 12 years of age, and light motorcycles must not carry passengers.

Can leftover engine oil still be used after being stored for a year?

Gasoline engine oil can continue to be used if it has been stored for a year without deterioration. If the oil has been stored for a long time and improperly preserved, the chemical components inside will definitely deteriorate, and it is recommended not to use it to avoid damaging the valve oil seals and the engine. After opening, the oil should be stored indoors away from light, and the indoor temperature should not be too high. Additionally, it is best not to exceed three years. Extension: Engine oil shelf life: 1. Shelf life: Unopened engine oil generally has a shelf life of about 3-5 years, and normally, the expiration date will be marked on the back of the packaging barrel. 2. Engine oil added to the engine: This generally depends on the grade of the oil. Typically, mineral oil lasts for half a year, semi-synthetic oil for eight months, and fully synthetic oil for one year. 3. Opened engine oil: If stored properly, it can last for about a year, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to use it within about half a year.

What is the equivalent of VW50200 engine oil?

vw50200 corresponds to the API SN grade, which is the highest grade of engine oil. It is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) oil standard required by Volkswagen engines in Germany. Among OEM oils, both 5W-30 and 5W-40 grades meet the VW50200 standard. Additional information on engine oil requirements: 1. Friction heat: The general requirements for engines are small size, lightweight, compact structure, and high power output, resulting in significant load on the unit friction surface. 2. Combustion heat: The high temperature of the friction surface reduces the viscosity of the lubricating oil, making it difficult to form an oil film. 3. Oil contamination: High-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases in the combustion chamber can leak into the crankcase through the gaps between the piston, piston rings, and cylinder liner. These combustion gases are the result of complete and incomplete combustion of fuel and a small amount of lubricating oil, forming gases and certain particulate matter, which typically become the main components of crankcase blow-by.
