It is possible to drive without releasing the electronic parking brake. The electronic parking brake system is equipped with an automatic protection function. If the parking brake is not released when starting, the electronic parking brake will automatically disengage once the vehicle reaches a certain speed. Therefore, not releasing the parking brake will not cause harm to the vehicle. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical parking brake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. When parking, after the driver operates the electronic parking brake system button, the electronic control unit will control the motors integrated in the left and right brake calipers to act, driving the brake caliper pistons to move and generate mechanical clamping force, thus completing the parking process.

What happens when the battery of Volkswagen Lavida runs out of power?

When the battery of Volkswagen Lavida runs out of power, the following situations may occur: 1. Battery fault warning light turns on: If after the vehicle's self-check during startup, a warning light resembling a "battery" appears on the dashboard, it indicates that the battery's power is too low and it's time for a replacement. It's advisable to visit a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop to check the battery. 2. Difficulty in starting the vehicle compared to usual: Assuming the vehicle was used normally the previous day and all electrical devices were turned off after parking, if the next day the vehicle is harder to start than usual, it might be due to insufficient battery power. 3. Headlights dim inexplicably during idle: Another scenario is when the headlights dim inexplicably during idle operation, which could also be a precursor to battery failure. When the vehicle is idling or moving at low speed and cannot fully meet the power demands of the electrical devices, the battery assists the power generation system in supplying power to the vehicle's electrical devices. However, if the battery's power is insufficient to provide auxiliary power, this "inexplicable dimming of headlights" situation may occur.

What are the reasons for Volkswagen VR6 engine burning oil?

Volkswagen VR6 burning oil reasons are as follows: 1. Carbon deposits: Due to the difference between domestic fuel quality and international standards, a large amount of carbon deposits are easily formed in the combustion chamber during engine operation. Carbon deposits are the root cause of various engine problems. Carbon deposits accumulate in the piston grooves, causing the piston rings to stick together, which prevents the piston rings from sealing completely. The 'stuck' piston rings greatly reduce the oil sealing capacity. In addition, sludge can also clog the oil return holes, preventing the oil from returning normally, leading to increased oil consumption. Carbon deposits also exacerbate the wear between the piston and cylinder wall, causing excessive clearance and allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber. 2. Valve stem seal corrosion and aging: Corrosion and aging of the valve stem seals result in poor sealing. Valve stem seals are one of the most prone-to-age components in the engine. Basically, cars with over 100,000 kilometers of driving have this problem.

What is the reason for the failure of the Southeast DX3's automatic wipers?

Southeast DX3's automatic wipers failure may be caused by a malfunction of the vehicle's wiper motor; the sensor of the automatic wipers; the automatic wiper switch; or the wiper wiring harness. Below are the relevant details: 1. Automatic Wipers: Automatic wipers can detect the size of raindrops through a rain sensor and automatically adjust the wiper speed, providing the driver with a clear view, thereby greatly enhancing convenience and safety during rainy conditions. 2. Working Process: When the sensor detects raindrops on the windshield, it sends a command to the wipers to start working, clearing the rainwater from the front windshield and ensuring the driver's unobstructed view. At the same time, it also sends a command to automatically close the vehicle's electric windows and sunroof to prevent the interior from getting wet.
