Using hazard lights directly consumes power from the car battery, which can affect the battery. Here is an introduction to car batteries: 1. Principle: A car battery is a type of battery, also known as a storage battery. Its working principle involves converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 2. Overview: It refers to a battery that can be recharged and reused after discharge. Types include lead-acid batteries, nickel-iron batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries. In a lead-acid battery, the positive electrode is lead dioxide, the negative electrode is lead, and the electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid solution. 3. Misconception: The lifespan of a car battery depends not only on its structure and quality but also on proper usage and maintenance. Generally, the lifespan of a car battery is about 2 years.

What Does the Three-Year Warranty for New Cars Cover?

New car three-year warranty covers issues with the engine, transmission, drivetrain, chassis, speedometer, and air conditioning components. If these components have quality problems, they will be covered under warranty, provided that regular maintenance is performed at an authorized 4S shop as per the maintenance manual. Some easily worn-out parts such as tires, brakes, and lights can also be replaced at 4S shops, but the cost of the parts will be charged. Warranty conditions: 1. The car parts must not be damaged due to human factors but due to quality issues, in which case the 4S shop is responsible for free replacement; 2. The car must not be privately modified or cause imbalance in the driving system, as quality problems caused by modifications will not be covered by the 4S shop warranty; 3. For easily worn-out parts such as tires, brakes, and lights, the cost of the parts will be charged if they are damaged.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jetta in liters?

The 2022 Jetta models include the Jetta VS5 and Jetta VS7. The Jetta VS5 has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters across all variants. All models are equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and come with either a 5-speed manual transmission (MT) or a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). All variants feature front-wheel drive. The Jetta VS7 also has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters across all variants. Similarly, all models are powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and offer either a 5-speed manual transmission (MT) or a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). All variants are front-wheel drive. In the same class as the Jetta VS5, the Changan CS75 2022 model has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, the Haval Chulian 2021 model has a 55-liter tank, and the Trumpchi GS3 2021 model has a 50-liter tank. For the Jetta VS7's class, the Song PLUS 2020 model has a 60-liter tank, and the Haoyue 2022 model also has a 60-liter tank. To check the remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E (empty) and F (full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while near F means the tank is full. Fuel tank maintenance includes: Draining accumulated water and sediment from the tank and checking for leaks at fuel line connections and valves. For tanks with air and vapor valves, ensure the vent holes are clear. Keep the fuel filler inlet screen intact to prevent debris from entering the tank and clogging the fuel lines. Ensure the sealing gasket on the fuel cap is in good condition to prevent fuel spillage while driving.

What are the symptoms of a faulty torque converter?

Symptoms of a faulty torque converter: 1. Overheating of the torque converter oil; 2. Insufficient oil supply pressure in the torque converter; 3. Oil leakage from the torque converter; 4. The machine moves at too low a speed or lacks power; 5. Abnormal noises from inside during operation. A torque converter is a hydraulic component composed of a pump wheel, turbine, and guide wheel, installed between the engine and the transmission. It uses hydraulic oil as the working medium to transmit torque, change torque, shift gears, and act as a clutch. Functions of the torque converter: 1. It can automatically and continuously adjust the turbine speed according to load changes, improving the vehicle's passing ability; 2. The torque converter connects the pump wheel and turbine through liquid, reducing the impact load of the engine on the transmission system and extending the lifespan of the transmission system.

Is Light Braking Required in School Zones for Subject Three?

Light braking is required in school zones for Subject Three. Similar to bus stops, the vehicle speed must be below 30 km/h when passing through, and light braking should be applied to slow down. If encountering situations like students crossing the road after school, the vehicle must stop and wait. Key locations requiring light braking in Subject Three: 1. Straight through intersections: Due to complex conditions at intersections, there may be vehicles or pedestrians passing. Learners should apply light braking in advance to reduce speed, keeping it below 30 km/h. Even if the light is green with no obstacles or pedestrians, light braking is mandatory. Failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification. 2. Left or right turns: Regardless of the direction, turn signals must be activated in advance, followed by deceleration (some learners may already be driving slowly but should still apply light braking before turning). 3. Bus stops: Passing bus stops usually comes with voice prompts. If not, pay attention to roadside signs and apply light braking to pass slowly. 4. Pedestrian crossings: Learners must apply light braking to slow down when passing pedestrian crossings. If pedestrians are crossing, the vehicle must stop and wait, ensuring it does not stop on the crossing. Avoid rushing or honking, as such behavior will lead to disqualification. 5. School zones: Similar to bus stops, the speed must be below 30 km/h, and light braking is required to slow down. If students are crossing, stop and wait. 6. U-turns: Deceleration is mandatory during U-turns, shifting to lower gears (1st or 2nd) if necessary. Failing to slow down will result in poor vehicle stability. 7. Oncoming vehicles: Learners must decelerate when encountering oncoming vehicles. The system usually provides instructions; even if no vehicle is present, follow the procedure and decelerate upon hearing the instruction.
