In cars, 'off' means turn off, while 'on' means turn on. Here is some additional information: 1. When 'off' appears in a car, it is usually the ESP-OFF light. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety device designed to prevent the risk of skidding or fishtailing while driving. 2. If this 'off' light illuminates while driving, it means the car's stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. Additional information: If you accidentally press the ESP-OFF button in the car, simply press it briefly again to reactivate the ESP. If the ESP-OFF light is on due to a system malfunction, it is important to promptly take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

Can the clutch be released in neutral gear?

You can release the clutch in neutral gear. Below are specific details about neutral gear: Introduction: The N gear is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission models, located between the R gear and D gear on the gear shift console. Essentially, it is the neutral gear in the transmission, designed to cut off power transmission between the input shaft and output shaft inside the transmission. Principle: When the driver shifts the gear lever to the N gear, the power input end and power output end inside the automatic transmission are fundamentally separated. The rotating device on the engine side and the transmission system on the output shaft side can then operate independently, working separately without affecting each other. This means there's no need to turn off the engine while waiting at traffic lights.

What Causes the Brake Squealing in the Golf VII?

Golf VII brake squealing is caused by: excessive wear of the brake pads. When the brakes are applied, the friction between the brake disc and the brake pads reaches the warning position of the brake pads, resulting in a sharp metallic noise. This issue can be resolved simply by replacing the brake pads. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking performance is decisively influenced by the brake pads. The Golf VII features a front suspension with a MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension with a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 200Nm.

Will the car move if the accelerator is pressed in neutral gear?

Pressing the accelerator in neutral gear will not make the car move. Below are specific details about neutral gear: Introduction: The N gear is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission vehicles, located between the R gear and D gear on the gear shift console. Essentially, it represents the neutral position in the transmission, designed to disconnect the power transmission between the input shaft and the output shaft inside the gearbox. Principle: When the driver shifts the gear lever to the N position, the power input end and power output end inside the automatic transmission are fundamentally separated. This allows the engine's rotating mechanism and the output shaft's transmission system to operate independently without affecting each other. Therefore, there is no need to turn off the engine while waiting at traffic lights.
