Here is the relevant introduction about headlights, clearance lights, and rear position lights: 1. Headlights: Headlights refer to the lighting devices installed on both sides of the front of a car, used for road illumination during nighttime driving. They can be categorized into two-lamp and four-lamp systems. The illumination effect of headlights directly affects nighttime driving operations and traffic safety. 2. Clearance lights: Clearance lights are warning lights used to alert other vehicles. They are usually located at the outermost edges of the front and rear of the vehicle. Large trucks also have clearance lights on the roof and sides. 3. Rear position lights: Rear position lights, along with front position lights, are commonly referred to as small lights or width indicator lights. Their main purpose is to indicate the presence and approximate width of the vehicle, helping other vehicles judge during encounters and overtaking.

What is Volkswagen EPC?

EPC in Volkswagen vehicles stands for the Engine Electronic Power Control system, also known as the electronic throttle. Its working principle is that the engine control unit calculates the optimal target throttle opening based on position data feedback from the pedal sensor, then sends a signal to the throttle drive motor to rotate the throttle to the correct angle. EPC (Electronic Power Control) is the full name for the Engine Electronic Power Control system. When a sensor malfunctions or detects abnormal conditions, the control system takes corresponding measures according to preset programs. Reasons for EPC appearing in vehicles include: Dirty throttle, which should be cleaned. Brake lights not working, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. Fuel quality issues. Engine stalling due to improper operation. Intake system faults, such as leaks or blockages. When the EPC indicator light comes on, promptly visit a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop to have a technician read the fault codes with a computer and perform targeted repairs after identifying the issue. Detailed explanations of other situations causing the EPC light to come on: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will alert when the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle fault: Carbon buildup is a common throttle issue; dirt on the throttle body can also affect intake, causing the indicator light to illuminate. Fuel system fault: Such as substandard fuel, deteriorated fuel, or poor fuel atomization. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or issues with the intake valve and other power system components can also trigger the EPC light. ECU control unit fault: For example, interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the vehicle computer. Brake light fault: Such as brake lights not working, brake switch failure, or brake wiring issues. Solutions for when the car's EPC indicator light comes on: Troubleshoot intake system faults, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle, etc. Remove carbon buildup from relevant parts. Re-flash ECU-related data. If the EPC indicator light comes on, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the EPC light remains on. If it does not come back on, there may be no issue, possibly just interference affecting the EPC indicator. If the EPC light stays on or frequently comes on, drive to the nearest vehicle inspection point for professional assistance in troubleshooting and promptly eliminating safety hazards. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, literally translated as electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system mainly includes controllers and sensors related to the power system. When sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system takes measures for the power system according to preset programs. Common EPC indicator lights generally display two colors: yellow and red. A yellow EPC fault light means the vehicle can still be driven, but proceed slowly to a repair point for inspection. A red EPC fault light indicates a more serious situation; the vehicle should be pulled over immediately, and relevant repair personnel should be contacted for repairs. Forcing the vehicle to drive could directly affect core components or driving safety.

How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on a Focus?

To turn off the rear wiper on a Focus, simply move the wiper lever located below the steering wheel to the 'off' position. Pushing the lever down one notch will turn it on. The function of the wiper is to remove raindrops and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Taking the 2021 Focus as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4647mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase 2705mm, fuel tank capacity 53 liters, trunk capacity 511 liters, and curb weight 1245kg.

How to Start an Automatic Car on a Slope?

Starting method for automatic cars on a slope: Pay attention to the tachometer on the dashboard. When starting a cold engine, the RPM is usually above 1000. Wait for about 10 seconds until the RPM drops below 1000. Then, press the brake pedal with your right foot, release the handbrake with your right hand, and shift the gear from P to D. On a steep slope, quickly release the brake and apply the throttle. Automatic cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The letters represent: P for Parking/Start, R for Reverse, N for Neutral, D for Drive (forward), S for Sport mode, and L for Low gear.

How many kilometers can a 72V60Ah lithium battery run?

The range of an electric vehicle is related to the motor power. With a motor power of 1800W and a 72V60AH battery, the maximum theoretical driving range can reach 132 kilometers. The actual driving range: When the load increases, the motor output torque increases, and the power will increase, at which time the driving range will decrease. The actual maximum driving range is also related to the driving conditions and ambient temperature. When the road conditions frequently involve climbing slopes or starting, the range will be shortened, as the current during climbing and starting is greater than the average current, resulting in reduced time. Changes in ambient temperature will affect the battery capacity, with higher temperatures slightly increasing capacity and lower temperatures decreasing it.

Can driving license inspection be processed in a different location?

Currently, driving license annual inspection can be processed in a different location. Applicants can directly undergo inspection and obtain the inspection qualification mark in provinces other than the motor vehicle registration location without going through the entrusted inspection procedures. You only need to bring the owner's ID card, driving license, vehicle insurance documents, and original/copy of the vehicle and vessel tax to the local vehicle management office for processing. The materials required for vehicle inspection in a different location are as follows: no traffic violation information or traffic accidents; provide the original vehicle driving license; the third copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy (duplicate) (to be kept by the traffic management department); the vehicle appearance should be kept clean, with clear license plate numbers and no dirt; lights should be installed properly and function normally; exhaust emissions should meet standards, and brakes should be effective.
