Automatic car washing does not require turning off the engine. Here are some precautions regarding automatic car washing: Car Settings: When entering an automatic car wash, first set the car to neutral gear, do not use the handbrake or foot brake. Once inside the automatic car wash, do not move the steering wheel randomly or perform any operations on the vehicle, as the external washing equipment may affect the car. Closing Windows and Doors: Close all windows and doors properly. Drive the left wheel onto the conveyor belt without turning off the engine, shift into neutral, do not pull the handbrake, turn off the car's automatic headlights and automatic wipers. Before entering, fold the side mirrors on both sides to prevent damage from external pressure.

Is the 'off' light on the car indicating it's turned off or on?

When the 'off' light is illuminated on the car, it means the system is turned off. The 'off' light in a car mainly refers to the ESP off light, where ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety device designed to prevent the vehicle from skidding or losing control. If the ESP off light is on, it indicates that the vehicle's stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. If you accidentally press the ESP off button, you can turn the ESP back on by pressing it again briefly. However, if the light is on due to a system malfunction, it is important to take the vehicle to a 4S dealership for inspection and repair. There are several reasons why the warning light might come on, including wiring faults, damaged sensors, errors in the electronic control unit signals, or a weak battery.

Is it acceptable to leave the turn signal on after completing a roadside parking?

It is not acceptable to leave the turn signal on after completing a roadside parking. Upon hearing the instruction to pull over, the first reaction should be to activate the right turn signal, followed by two observations: identifying a suitable parking spot ahead to the right and checking the rearview mirror to assess parking conditions. It is advisable to reduce speed and downshift to facilitate subsequent operations. Additional relevant information is as follows: Note 1: After locating an appropriate spot, begin turning right. It is important to continuously adjust while observing from the rearview mirror. When the reference point aligns with the edge line, stop immediately. Parking must be swift to prevent the vehicle from tilting. Engage the handbrake, shift to neutral, release the clutch and brake, manually turn off any remaining turn signals, shut off the engine, activate the hazard warning lights, and await further instructions. Note 2: In most vehicles, if the steering wheel is turned more than half a turn after activating the turn signal, the signal will automatically turn off once the steering wheel is straightened.
