Does the ABS light being on indicate that the anti-lock braking system is activated?

The ABS light being on does not indicate that the anti-lock braking system is activated. When the anti-lock system light is on during startup, it is part of the system's self-check function. If the light remains on after startup or comes on while driving, it indicates a system malfunction, and the anti-lock braking system should be inspected at a repair station as soon as possible. The anti-lock braking system, abbreviated as ABS, functions by automatically controlling the braking force during vehicle braking to prevent wheel lock-up, keeping the wheels in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip rate of about 20%) to ensure maximum traction between the wheels and the road surface. Reasons for the ABS light being on: 1. Engine start or ignition: Most modern vehicles are equipped with an ABS system, and the ABS light may illuminate during engine start or when the ignition switch is turned on. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the vehicle. 2. Ignition switch or startup: Under normal conditions, the light will come on when the ignition switch is turned on or the engine is started, as the system enters an automatic check procedure. The light will turn off once the check is completed.

How to Turn Off the Engine Auto Start-Stop in the Leiling?

Leiling's auto start-stop button is located on the right side of the central control screen. The switch button icon for the start-stop function is an A surrounded by a circle. Press it once to turn off the light, which means the auto start-stop is disabled. Engine auto start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Here are some tips for using the Toyota Leiling's auto start-stop feature: 1. The auto start-stop function needs to be manually turned off by the owner every time they drive. To permanently disable it, you can only do so by visiting a 4S store for settings. 2. In congested traffic, you can turn off this function. The slow start may lead to being cut off by other drivers, and the comfort level may decrease. 3. When starting on a slope, turn off the auto start-stop function. The slow reaction may cause the vehicle to roll back, creating a dangerous situation.

Can a Car Start If the Key Fob Battery Is Dead?

If the key fob battery is dead, you can press the start button on the key fob twice to successfully start the car. Methods to start the car when the key fob battery is dead: replace the battery; take out the mechanical key from the electronic key fob to open the car door, then press the brake pedal all the way down and press the start button on the dead key fob twice—this can also start the car. Even though the electronic key fob has no power, the start button can still detect the presence of the key fob's chip. Detailed steps to replace the key fob battery: First, prepare a 3V CR2032 alkaline battery; press the small button on the key fob to release the metal mechanical key. After removing the mechanical key, you can see the hidden part that was blocked by the metal key. Then, use your left thumb to pry open the key fob along the middle seam—a slight force will open one end of the battery cover. After opening the key fob cover, you can see the battery inside. Remove the old battery and insert the new one into the battery slot. Finally, press the cover back into place and slowly apply pressure to ensure it is securely closed. This completes the key fob battery replacement.

Is an Appointment Required for Subject Four?

Subject Four requires an appointment, and there are mainly two ways to schedule it: the first is to book it directly along with Subject Three, and the second is to schedule it separately after passing Subject Three. Subject Four is part of Subject Three, specifically the theoretical knowledge portion, commonly referred to as Subject Four. Since the exam takes place after Subject Three, it is also known as Subject Four. Subject Four is the final stage of the driver's license test, and there are two main methods for scheduling it! The first is to book it directly with Subject Three—some locations allow candidates to take the exam within seven days after completing Subject Three without an additional appointment. The second method is to schedule it separately after passing Subject Three, but the appointment will be for a test date at least seven days later. Candidates need to follow the instructions from their driving school instructors or DMV staff and complete the application process step by step via a mobile app. Within 1-3 working days after submission, they will receive an SMS notification confirming approval. Candidates can use this week to study for Subject Four, familiarize themselves with the question bank, and practice with mock exams. As long as they thoroughly review all the questions in the question bank, the likelihood of passing the exam on the first attempt is quite high.
