Dash cams can work when the car is turned off, provided that the device has a parking monitoring (motion detection) function. The parking monitoring feature requires the dash cam to have a built-in battery or to be connected to the ACC fuse for power supply. After the vehicle is turned off, the dash cam automatically enters parking monitoring mode, where its sensors continuously monitor the vehicle's condition. If any abnormality or vibration is detected, it will automatically record the monitoring video and save it separately. Compared to constant power connection, dash cams with parking monitoring connected to the ACC fuse are more energy-efficient and have less impact on the car battery. However, if the vehicle is left unused for several consecutive days, this may still lead to battery drain and difficulty starting the car.

Where is the oil pressure sensor located on the Passat 2.0?

The oil pressure sensor on the Passat 2.0 is located above the oil filter. Passat oil pressure sensor: The oil pressure sensor on the Passat is installed at the base of the oil pan, which is located directly beneath the engine. Causes of low oil pressure: Insufficient engine oil storage, resulting in little or no oil in the lubrication system, leading to low oil pressure. Dirty or overly viscous oil prevents the oil pump from effectively drawing and pumping oil, causing low or no oil pressure. Thinning of oil due to high engine temperature can lead to leakage through engine friction gaps, resulting in low oil pressure. Oil pipe leakage, damaged oil pump, or excessively worn components reduce or eliminate oil intake and output, leading to low or no oil pressure. Excessive clearance between the crankshaft and bearings causes oil leakage and low oil pressure. Weak, stuck, or damaged springs or steel balls in the pressure relief valve impair its function, reducing oil pressure. Malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, gauge, or circuitry can also cause low oil pressure.

Can a cracked windshield pass the annual inspection?

Cracks under 10 centimeters can pass the motor vehicle annual inspection, while cracks exceeding 10 centimeters will fail the inspection. Motor vehicles must undergo annual inspections after reaching the specified usage period. Only after completing the annual inspection can the vehicle be legally driven on the road; otherwise, it is prohibited. The main aspects of the vehicle annual inspection include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major components have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; 3. Examining whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations, whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle, and whether any changes have been approved and documented; 4. Inspecting whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement.

What does it mean when the ESP warning light comes on in a BYD G5?

ESP is a traction control system. It is normal for all indicator lights, including warning lights, to illuminate for a few seconds during the computer's self-check after startup. Below is additional information about ESP: 1. Function: The ESP system is an important vehicle system that typically supports ABS and ASR functions. It analyzes vehicle driving state information from various sensors and then issues correction commands to ABS and ASR to help maintain dynamic balance. ESP can keep the vehicle optimally stable under various conditions, with particularly noticeable effects during oversteer or understeer situations. ESP generally requires the installation of steering sensors, wheel sensors, skid sensors, and lateral acceleration sensors. 2. Purpose: In addition to using the wheel speed sensors and hydraulic regulators of ABS and TCS, ESP also includes a yaw rate sensor integrated with a lateral acceleration sensor and a steering angle sensor. These two sensors are mainly responsible for measuring the vehicle's rotational motion around its longitudinal axis and recording the driver's steering intention. The wheel speed sensors measure the instantaneous speed of the wheels, the steering angle sensor records the driver's steering intention, and the yaw rate sensor and lateral acceleration sensor measure the vehicle's rotational motion around its longitudinal axis and centrifugal force.

What is the normal tire pressure for Haval tires?

Normal tire pressure ranges between 2.3-2.7 bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing load during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, with impacts causing internal cracks and blowouts. Tire pressure introduction: Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside a tire. Many tires are inflated with gases other than air, requiring stricter pressure control. For air-filled tires, pressure varies with seasonal changes. Tire pressure is closely related to vehicle performance, affecting comfort, load capacity, and tire lifespan. Proper inflation is crucial - both overinflation and underinflation shorten tire life. Low pressure increases tire deformation, causing sidewall cracks, flexing movements, excessive heat generation, rubber aging, fabric fatigue, and cord breakage, while also increasing contact area and accelerating shoulder wear. High pressure overextends tire cords, reduces elasticity, increases driving load, and makes tires prone to internal cracks and blowouts upon impact, while also accelerating tread wear and reducing puncture resistance.

How to Adjust the Airflow Speed of Volkswagen Air Vents?

Rotating downward gradually decreases the airflow until it turns off, while rotating upward gradually increases the airflow to its maximum. Automobile Air Conditioning Vents: Comprising a housing, an air guide mechanism, and a control mechanism, the housing features an air intake section, an upper air duct, and a lower air duct connected to the air intake section. The outlet of the upper air duct is designed to emit the first airflow, while the outlet of the lower air duct is configured to emit a second airflow that intersects with the first airflow. The air guide mechanism includes upper and lower air doors, each rotatably installed within the air intake section. The control mechanism consists of an operating component mounted on the housing, which includes left and right operating parts capable of independently rotating around the X-axis. When the left and right operating parts are rotated, they respectively drive the upper and lower air doors to adjust the opening sizes of the upper and lower air duct inlets. Air Vent Adjustment Method: By controlling the rotation of the upper and lower air doors, it achieves the functions of air guidance and air door opening/closing, featuring a compact structure and convenient control.
