What is the reason for no display when pressing the auto hold button in Leopaard CS9?

It is very likely that there is a problem with the electronic parking brake, or it could be caused by worn brake pads, an issue with the electronic system, or a problem with the battery power supply. This must be checked at a repair shop using a decoder to read the fault codes, and then repaired according to the fault codes. Below are the solutions for electronic parking brake failures: 1. Reset the electronic parking brake by turning on the car key, pressing the foot brake, then pressing down the electronic parking brake for 5 seconds and pulling it up for another 5 seconds. This will initialize and reset the electronic parking brake. 2. The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, is usually installed in the driver's right-hand position for easy use. 3. The function of the parking brake is to stabilize the vehicle after it has stopped, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined roads. 4. Some automatic transmission models on the market have a foot brake designed on the outside of the driver's left foot with the same function as the handbrake, and some advanced models are also equipped with an electronic parking brake system.

How to deal with asphalt spots on the car?

There are the following methods to deal with asphalt spots on the car: 1. To remove these asphalt spots from the car body, car wax must be applied. The oil content in the wax can dissolve the tar in the asphalt. By repeatedly applying car wax, the tar adhering to the car body can be removed. After wiping it off, use a clean cotton cloth to wipe again, which can thoroughly remove any residual tar stains on the car body. 2. Do not rush to rinse or grind, as it may affect the car's paint surface. First, use high-pressure water to rinse the car body for initial cleaning. If asphalt or other dirt remains, you can rinse these local areas again and then wash them with soapy water.

What are the wiper size and interface type for the Volkswagen Passat?

The wiper size for the Volkswagen Passat is 24+19 inches. There is no fixed replacement cycle; replace them promptly if there is abnormal noise or poor wiping performance. Below are the steps to replace the wiper blades for the Volkswagen Passat: 1. After turning off the vehicle, do not remove the key immediately. Within three seconds, move the wiper lever, and the wipers will enter maintenance mode. 2. Push the wiper firmly toward the front of the vehicle until it locks into place. Press the silver button on the wiper arm, hold the wiper blade, and gently pull it outward to remove the old rubber strip. 3. Release the two clips and remove the old rubber strip. (Be gentle when removing the clips on both sides and the middle connecting device.) 4. When installing the new rubber strip, ensure the two metal pieces are staggered and inserted into the first groove. The process is slightly tedious and requires patience—install one side first, then the other. 5. After successful installation, follow the reverse steps of the removal process to complete the wiper installation.

Is it necessary to clean the car throttle body?

Cleaning the car throttle body is indeed necessary, as the responsiveness of the car's acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle body. Cleaning the throttle body can even improve efficiency and save fuel. The steps for cleaning the throttle body are as follows: 1. First, disconnect the wiring harness connector next to the throttle body, use a hex screwdriver to remove the fixing screws, and then take off the throttle body. 2. Cover the air intake to prevent debris from falling into the engine. 3. Spray cleaning agent on the dirt. Be careful not to spray the cleaning agent outside the throttle body, avoid forcefully prying the internal throttle body, and prevent damage to the adjacent throttle motor. 4. Finally, let it dry naturally. It is best not to wipe it with a cloth, as this can easily remove the surface lubricating coating. 5. After reinstalling the throttle body, disconnect the power and restart or redo the throttle body matching.

What does the engine light on the dashboard mean?

The engine light displayed on the dashboard indicates a fault in the engine (exhaust system). If it turns off a few seconds after starting the engine, it is a normal system self-check. If the light remains on, there may be a fault in the exhaust system. If the light flashes, it indicates engine misfiring, which can damage the catalytic converter. Possible causes for the engine (exhaust system) fault light to illuminate include: 1. Poor fuel quality, spark plug carbon buildup, faulty oxygen sensor, engine knocking, damaged coolant temperature sensor, or engine misfiring. 2. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to engine damage and non-compliant exhaust emissions. Notes: 1. If the engine (exhaust system) fault light is on but the coolant temperature gauge and oil pressure warning light are not activated, the vehicle can still be driven. However, drive cautiously at a reduced speed and seek the nearest auto repair shop for inspection. 2. If the coolant temperature is too high or the oil pressure warning light is also on, and you clearly feel the vehicle malfunctioning, pull over immediately and request assistance.
