The frequent illumination of the tire pressure monitoring light on the Bora is a very dangerous signal, indicating abnormal tire pressure that requires immediate attention. Tires are a primary condition for vehicle safety. The principles of automotive tire pressure monitoring are as follows: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. Wireless transmitters send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which displays the tire pressure data. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system automatically alerts. 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: Indirect tire pressure monitoring works by detecting when a tire's pressure decreases, causing the vehicle's weight to reduce the rolling radius of that tire, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, it monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure.

The entertainment system muting is a common issue with this model. If the restoration method cannot resolve it by pressing once, then you can only go to the 4S store for inspection. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. How to restore the Audi A3 from mute: You need to find the MENU button, the button in the upper right corner of the diagram, and the circular operation button at the central armrest position. After finding them, press all three buttons simultaneously, hold for about 3 to 5 seconds, then release to restart the MMI. 2. Methods to prevent the Audi A3 from going silent: After starting the car's engine, connect your phone to the car's system. You can use a data cable, USB, Bluetooth, hotspot, etc., to connect, which can avoid the vehicle going silent. Because when connected, the device is in use, and the car's system will not stall, causing the audio to go silent.

How to Solve the Random Jumping Issue of the Excelle's Central Locking System?

If the central locking system of the Excelle exhibits random jumping behavior, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop to replace the door lock control assembly and the central control module. Below is relevant information: 1. Definition of the Central Locking System: The central locking system, fully known as the central control door lock, is an automotive accessory that allows remote opening and locking of doors without inserting the key into the lock. It consists of a door lock switch, an actuator, and a controller. 2. Basic Principle of Remote Control: A weak radio wave is emitted from the vicinity of the car owner, received by the car's antenna, and the signal code is identified by the electronic control unit (ECU). The system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) then performs the locking or unlocking action. This system mainly comprises a transmitter and a receiver. 3. Functions: (1) Central Control: When the driver locks the door next to them, all other doors are simultaneously locked. The driver can open all doors via the door lock switch or open a single door individually. (2) Speed Control: When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, all doors automatically lock to prevent passengers from accidentally opening the doors by operating the door handles. (3) Individual Control: Besides the door next to the driver, other doors are equipped with separate spring lock switches, allowing independent control over the opening and locking of each door.

What does terminal 31 mean in Volkswagen?

Volkswagen terminal 31 refers to the battery negative ground wire. Characteristics of Volkswagen circuit diagrams: In Volkswagen circuit diagrams, you often encounter connection points marked with numbers and letters, each with a fixed meaning. For example, the number 30 represents the power supply line from the battery positive terminal; the number 31 represents the battery negative ground wire; the number 15 represents the ignition power supply line from the ignition switch; the number 50 represents the starter power supply line when the ignition switch is in the start position; and the letter X represents the power supply line for high-capacity electrical equipment controlled by the ignition switch (from the load relay). Overall markings in Volkswagen circuit diagrams: Each wire is labeled with its color and cross-sectional area. The ends of the wires have terminal numbers or socket numbers indicating their connections. Color markings are represented by letters, with the following correspondences: ws=white; sw=black; ro=red; br=brown; gn=green; bl=blue; gr=gray; li=purple; ge=yellow. If a wire has two colors, it is marked with both color letters, such as ro/sw or se/ge. The cross-sectional area of the wire is indicated by a number above the wire color, in mm². For example, 4.0, 6.0, etc.

Why do the lights stay on after turning off the Audi A3?

The headlight switch is not turned to the correct position. Manually turn off the automatic headlights by rotating the light switch toward the off direction. Audi A3 headlights: Currently, the Fashion trim and above versions of this car are all equipped with LED headlights. The two entry-level trims come with xenon headlights, which, despite being xenon, offer excellent penetration and brightness. Audi A3 light usage instructions: High beam and high beam flash function: Move the lever to the corresponding position, and the high beam indicator will light up on the instrument cluster. Fog lights: The fog light switch is located on the lower left side of the steering wheel. The operation is simple—just press the corresponding button. Automatic headlights, low beam, and parking lights: When the AUTO button is lit, it means the automatic headlights are currently active. With the AUTO button lit, press once to turn on the low beam, press again to turn on the parking lights, and press once more to turn off the lights. Headlight washer: With the headlights on, activate the windshield washer switch to clean the headlights. Adaptive headlights: Adjust to the AUTO position.

What is the fuel consumption of the Polo?

Volkswagen New Polo 1.6 real fuel consumption: 8-9 liters/100 km in urban areas, and as low as 6 liters/100 km on highways. Bad driving habits that affect fuel consumption: 1. Sudden acceleration: Many people enjoy the thrill of sudden acceleration, unaware that it comes at the cost of significantly increased fuel consumption. This extra fuel consumption is unnecessary, so try to maintain a steady speed when there's no urgent need. Accelerate gently and adjust speed by easing off the throttle rather than relying on the brakes. 2. High-speed driving in low gear: This mistake is mainly made by drivers of manual transmission cars, though it occasionally happens with automatic transmissions. Manual drivers, especially beginners, often fail to balance gear and speed properly and don't monitor engine RPM or instantaneous fuel consumption on the dashboard, leading to hard acceleration in low gears. Sometimes, the engine RPM even exceeds 3500, wasting fuel unnecessarily. 3. Frequent lane changes: Studies show that driving straight at a steady speed is the most fuel-efficient, ideally at the economical speed of 80-90 km/h. Frequent lane changes disrupt this efficiency because changing lanes requires acceleration, which increases fuel consumption compared to steady driving. 4. Frequent braking: While braking is essential for safety, it significantly increases fuel consumption. Therefore, use brakes judiciously. 5. Prolonged idling: Some may think idling doesn't consume much fuel due to low RPM, but while the fuel consumption per unit time is low, the car isn't moving, meaning the fuel burned serves no practical purpose. If stopping for a long time, it's better to turn off the engine rather than idle.
