The Jetta car can be driven with the EPC light on. The EPC light is yellow, which is a reminder indicator. At this time, the vehicle can still continue to drive, but you should maintain a lower speed and drive to a maintenance point as soon as possible for fault diagnosis. Possible reasons for the EPC light being on: It may be due to a dirty throttle body. Solution: The throttle body should be cleaned; It may be because the brake light is not working, causing the EPC light to come on. Solution: The brake switch and wiring need to be checked. Function of EPC: In the past, the driver controlled the accelerator pedal according to the engine's power demand, and the accelerator pedal controlled the throttle opening through a steel wire cable. In the EPC system, the previous throttle cable is replaced by a sensor in the pedal device.

What does the three locks of an off-road vehicle mean?

The three locks of an off-road vehicle refer to three differential locks, which can significantly enhance the off-road performance and escape capability of the vehicle. The differential lock consists of components such as planetary gears, planetary carrier (differential housing), and half-shaft gears. An example of an off-road vehicle with three differential locks is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a rugged off-road vehicle where the three differential locks are located on the front axle, rear axle, and central drive shaft. The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class are 4668mm in length, 1774mm in width, and 1952mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm.

What is the maximum tire size that can be fitted on a 14-inch rim?

14-inch rims can accommodate a maximum tire size of 185, depending on the tire's aspect ratio. The rim is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner contour to the hub via spokes, serving as the metal centerpiece that supports the tire and mounts onto the axle. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the rim may vary, generally categorized into painting and plating. Rim maintenance methods include: 1. Allow the rim to cool naturally before cleaning when it's hot; never use cold water for cleaning. 2. For stubborn tar stains on the rim, try using a brush to remove them. 3. In humid environments, rims should be cleaned frequently. 4. If necessary, after thorough cleaning, apply wax to the rim for maintenance.

What is the emission standard for cars in 2008?

2008 cars were compliant with China II, China III, and partially China IV emission standards. The China III standard refers to China's third-stage vehicle emission standard, equivalent to the Euro 3 emission standard. At that time, new vehicles were required to be equipped with an OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system. When vehicle emissions failed to meet the Euro 3 standard due to factors like fuel quality, the OBD system would automatically trigger an alarm and switch to the default system mode, causing the engine to malfunction. Methods to check vehicle emission standards: 1. Look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back; 2. Take the original or a copy of the vehicle's registration certificate to the environmental protection window of the vehicle management office or the local motor vehicle pollution management center for inquiry.

How to Use Rearview Mirrors for Parallel Parking in Subject 2?

Subject 2 parallel parking using rearview mirrors involves the following steps: 1. While reversing, turn the steering wheel one and a half turns to the right. Observe the top of the wheel in the right rearview mirror, maintaining a distance of about 40 cm from the right line of the parking space to ensure the right side doesn't cross the line during parking; 2. Check both left and right rearview mirrors. When the solid lines of the parking space appear on both sides, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left and continue reversing; 3. Continue observing both mirrors. When the solid lines of the parking space are visible on both sides at roughly equal distances, immediately turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left and keep reversing; 4. Watch the left rearview mirror until it completely covers the front line of the parking space, then brake; 5. When moving forward, avoid turning left too soon. Wait until the left rearview mirror aligns with the vertical line beside it before turning the steering wheel one and a half turns to the left.

How to Check the Age of a Motor Vehicle?

You can check the production date from the VIN code on the engine, and then determine the vehicle's age based on that date. The VIN consists of three parts: the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI, positions 1-3), the Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS, positions 4-9), and the Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS, positions 10-17). It includes information such as the manufacturer, model year, vehicle type, body style and code, engine code, and assembly location. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. The vehicle's nameplate usually displays the manufacturing date, and many parts on the vehicle also have production dates. However, all parts' production dates should generally be earlier than the vehicle's manufacturing date. 2. Many parts on the vehicle are produced by suppliers. After production, these parts are delivered to the automaker, where assembly line workers put them together. Therefore, the vehicle's manufacturing date must be later than the production dates of its parts.
