The Volkswagen brand has higher added value, being more advanced after all; compared to the Avalon, it is more steady and restrained in design, making it more suitable for commercial use; it achieves 0-100 km/h acceleration in 7.1 seconds, offering better burst power than the Avalon. Advantages of the Volkswagen Passat: The rear row has a larger lateral width, providing a slightly better feeling for three passengers; the lower configuration price is more affordable, with a lower entry threshold. Disadvantages: Both the exterior and interior designs are relatively conservative; the turbocharged + dual-clutch power combination is not as comfortable as competitors in terms of ride comfort; the Magotan has made us realize that the saying 'German cars are safer' is just a slogan; it falls short of competitors in terms of post-maintenance and quality stability. Advantages of the Toyota Avalon: Safety of the TNGA platform; outstanding ride comfort, dynamic response, and fuel economy of hybrid models; design that combines youthful sportiness with steady elegance; adaptive suspension in conventional models brings higher comfort and better stability; the hybrid model's chassis suspension is softer and more comfortable; better quality stability; noise insulation and quietness are close to the level of the Lexus ES80. Disadvantages: Slightly weaker burst power, with acceleration over 8 seconds; in China, the brand's added value is not as high as competitors; the interior design is simple and straightforward, but this is subjective; it is relatively backward in human-machine interaction, lacking CARPLAY. Apart from the above, the passenger space and fuel consumption of both cars are almost the same as their fuel versions. With a budget of 230,000 yuan, I would choose the Avalon hybrid version because this car is more suitable for family use, saving money and hassle in the long run.

Why are the low beams working but the high beams not?

Excluding operational issues, the reasons for low beams working while high beams are not include blown headlight fuse, failed headlight relay, or burnt-out headlight filament. Below is a detailed introduction to car headlights: Introduction: Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car. They not only relate to the external image of the car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The role of headlight adjustment: It allows the car's lights to maintain an appropriate height at all times, facilitating nighttime driving and adapting to different road undulations. The importance of headlight adjustment: The more passengers in the back seat, the lower the rear of the car will sink, causing the front of the car to rise accordingly. This raises the height of the headlights, potentially dazzling drivers of oncoming vehicles and distracting their attention, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

Can Only Three Driver's Licenses Be Used to Deduct Points for One Vehicle?

A vehicle's traffic violations can only be handled by a maximum of three driver's licenses for point deduction. If a fourth driver's license is used to deduct points for the vehicle, or if a license is used to deduct points for a fourth vehicle with a different license plate number, the driver's license or vehicle will be locked. To unlock it, the driver or owner must undergo a suspicion review at the local traffic police station or electronic penalty station. Only after the traffic police confirm that the driver or owner is not maliciously trading points can the license or vehicle be unlocked. Below are the details: Penalty: If more than three drivers handle traffic violations for the same license plate vehicle within one point-deduction cycle, the system will suspend the violation handling service. If one driver's license is used to handle violations for more than three different license plate vehicles not owned by the driver within one point-deduction cycle, the system will suspend the violation handling service. Additionally, the case will be flagged for a suspected license investigation. Legal Analysis: Starting from December 27, 2017, with the introduction of the latest traffic regulations, the practice of using another person's license to deduct points has become history. The new regulations stipulate that a vehicle can only be assigned points to a maximum of three driver's licenses per cycle. Staff will verify the identity by comparing the photo on the driver's license with the photo taken on-site.

Should You Press the Clutch When Turning the Key?

As long as the gear is not in neutral, it is best to press the clutch. Pressing the clutch while starting the engine adds an extra layer of safety. On one hand, it disconnects the link between the engine and the transmission, reducing the starting resistance. On the other hand, for manual transmissions, it prevents the vehicle from being parked in gear or accidentally shifted into gear. If the clutch is not pressed when starting the car, the vehicle may lurch forward suddenly, causing an accident. If the gear is in neutral, there is no need to press the clutch when starting. Below is some relevant information about the clutch: Introduction: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. Function: While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the drivetrain to be disconnected or engaged at any time. Basic requirements for the clutch: smooth engagement, quick and thorough disengagement; easy adjustment and repair; compact size; light weight; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity.
