When putting the car in N gear for automatic car wash, do not turn off the engine. The following are precautions for driving automatic transmission vehicles: Gear shifting: Automatic transmission vehicles have protection and interlock mechanisms for gear shifting. Switching from D gear to R gear or P gear by mistake during driving can be dangerous, but you can freely switch between D gear and N gear, including while driving. Do not coast in neutral: Coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission vehicle does not save fuel. Prolonged coasting in neutral will cause insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic pipelines of the automatic transmission, which not only increases friction and reduces lubrication effectiveness but also damages the friction plates inside the automatic transmission.

What Causes the Restricted Brake Booster System in Golf 7?

If the brake booster system in Golf 7 is restricted, check the vacuum pump or whether there is any air leakage in the pipelines. Additionally, inspect the vacuum pressure sensor. The brake booster system refers to the vacuum booster, but some models use an electric booster instead. Therefore, if the brake booster system fails, the brake pedal will feel heavier when pressed. Definition of Brake Booster: It is a brake assist device widely used in light to medium-duty vehicles, which can be roughly categorized into vacuum boost, hydraulic boost, and pneumatic boost. It includes a hydraulic cylinder, support arm, pressure arm, and brake plate. The feature is that the hydraulic rods at both ends of the hydraulic cylinder are connected to the support arm and pressure arm, with a rubber-wheeled brake plate installed on the pressure arm. Working Principle of Brake Booster: This utility model can be installed between the two wheels of the vehicle chassis without affecting normal driving. The hydraulic cylinder opens an angle between the support arm and the pressure arm through the extension of the hydraulic arm, causing the brake plate to contact the ground. This increases the friction between the brake plate and the ground, ensuring the vehicle stops quickly.

What does the exclamation mark inside a triangle mean?

An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's regular performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Besides the exclamation mark inside a triangle, there are four other forms of exclamation mark indicators: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the vehicle's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

Why does the Changan Eado Plus display abnormal tire pressure?

Changan Eado Plus displays abnormal tire pressure. The first reason: The tire pressure monitoring system has not been fully reset. After inflating the tires of the Eado PLUS, the warning does not disappear immediately. The tire pressure system has a self-learning phase. Solution: Inflate all four tires to 2.5Bar and drive the vehicle for about 2KM. The tire pressure system will automatically relearn, and the tire pressure will reset itself. The second reason: Tire pressure sensor issue The Eado PLUS has independent tire pressure sensors in all four tires. These sensors are located inside the tires. During tire repair, the tires need to be removed. If the repair technician is not careful with the tire pressure sensors, the tire mounting machine may damage them, causing sensor failure and inability to monitor tire pressure. Solution: Replace the tire pressure sensor.
