Auto start-stop requires continuous brake pedal pressure. Typically, the auto start-stop function only activates when the brake pedal is depressed, allowing the engine to automatically shut off. When the vehicle is stationary with wheels not rotating, holding the brake pedal does not cause wear to the brake pads or discs. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine auto start-stop automatically shuts off the engine during temporary stops while driving (such as at traffic lights). The system automatically restarts the engine when it's time to proceed. 2. The working principle of the engine auto start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at intersections, the driver depresses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. 3. Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop systems usually have the function enabled by default. To deactivate the system, the driver can press the auto start-stop button (typically a circular arrow containing the letter A), and the dashboard will indicate the system is off. To reactivate the function, simply press the button again.

How are the pedals distributed in a car?

In a manual transmission car, the three pedals from left to right are the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Clutch pedal: It is the control device of the clutch assembly in a manual transmission car and serves as the interaction part between the car and the driver. The clutch pedal is used to engage and disengage the engine and the transmission. 2. Brake pedal: As the name suggests, it is the pedal that limits power, namely the pedal of the foot brake (service brake). The brake pedal is used to decelerate and stop the vehicle. 3. Accelerator pedal: It is the device on an internal combustion engine that controls the fuel supply. During vehicle operation, the driver controls the amount of air intake by adjusting the pedal's depression, thereby controlling the engine's speed.

How much time does Subject 2 generally require?

Subject 2 consists of a total of 26 class hours, with 2 hours for theoretical knowledge and 24 hours for practical operation. Among these, 8 hours are allocated for training in reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and is the abbreviated term for the field driving skills test. Below is a detailed introduction to the specific items of Subject 2: 1. Reversing into a garage: The car must be reversed into the garage. Normally, you reverse once on the left side, exit, and then reverse once on the right side. No crossing the lines and stopping the car properly means passing. 2. Parallel parking: This is quite practical in daily life, involving parking the car into a roadside parking space in actual operation. 3. Starting on a slope: After stopping on a slope, you must start the car again and climb over the slope. 4. Curve driving: One of the simpler tasks in Subject 2, requiring normal passage through an S-curve without crossing the lines. 5. Right-angle turns: Adjust the car to maintain a distance of about 30 cm from the right edge line. Drive straight, and when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror (side mirror) aligns with the vertical edge line, turn the steering wheel sharply. After passing the mirror corner, return to normal driving.

When will the China VI emission standard be implemented in Wuhan?

Nationally, China VIa will be implemented from July 1, 2020, and China VIb will be implemented from July 1, 2023. Wuhan follows the national timeline. Below is an introduction to the China VI emission standard: 1. The China VI emission standard refers to the sixth-stage emission control requirements outlined in the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (China VI)" (GB18352.6-2016), issued by relevant authorities at the end of 2016. According to the plan of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the China VI emission standard will be officially implemented nationwide on July 1, 2020. 2. When the China VI emission standard was first introduced, it was clearly stated that it would be implemented in two phases: "China VIa" and "China VIb." According to the document, the two emission standards, "China VIa" and "China VIb," will be implemented on July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. 3. In terms of emission values, "China VIa" is similar to "China V," serving as a transitional phase from "China V" to "China VI." "China VIb" is the true "China VI" emission standard. The "China VIb" standard explicitly stipulates that the total hydrocarbon (THC) limit is half that of "China VIa."

How to Reset the Beetle Maintenance Light?

Beetle maintenance light reset method: 1. If the vehicle is equipped with a long-life maintenance type dashboard, the maintenance light can only be reset using a suitable diagnostic device. 2. If the vehicle is equipped with a regular maintenance type dashboard, the maintenance light can be reset manually by following the steps below: (1) Press and hold button A. (2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then release button A. (3) The "SERVICE" message will appear on the display. Press and hold button A until the "SERVICE" message disappears, then turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Here is some relevant information: 1. The original intention of the car maintenance light is to remind the owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible. Therefore, the owner should promptly visit a 4S shop for maintenance. After the maintenance is completed, the 4S shop will use a fault diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. 2. The quickest and most accurate method to eliminate the maintenance reminder light is to use a fault diagnostic tool. Generally, individual owners do not have this equipment. It is recommended that owners reset the reminder light after maintenance at a 4S shop or visit an external 4S shop to eliminate it.

Symptom three: The exhaust will produce a popping sound and emit an irritating odor. Below are the solutions for a faulty front oxygen sensor: Use a fault diagnostic tool to check the voltage. Here are the precautions for removing the oxygen sensor: 1. Precaution one: Install the socket to the base of the oxygen sensor and forcefully loosen it. 2. Precaution two: When loosening, pay attention to the wiring harness on the oxygen sensor; do not rotate it all the way to the bottom to avoid deformation or breakage of the wiring harness. 3. Precaution three: After loosening, adjust the rotation angle back and forth multiple times to protect the wiring harness. 4. Precaution four: Socket sizes vary, ensure the size is suitable for the oxygen sensor before use.
