BMW electronic parking brake failure can be resolved by resetting the electronic parking brake once. Method to reset the electronic parking brake: Turn the key to the 'on' position, press the foot brake, hold the electronic parking brake down for 5 seconds, then pull it up for 5 seconds. This initializes and resets the electronic parking brake. Principle of the electronic parking brake: The electronic parking brake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates temporary braking during driving with long-term parking braking, controlled electronically to achieve parking braking. The electronic parking brake extends from basic parking functions to automatic parking functions. The application of automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. Activating the automatic electronic parking brake can prevent unnecessary vehicle sliding.

Should the 2017 Passat use 5w30 or 5w40?

2017 Passat uses 5w30. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improve the sealing of piston rings, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts. Taking the Passat 2017 280TSI DSG Zunya Edition as an example, its length, width, and height are 4872 mm, 1834 mm, and 1484 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2803 mm, a curb weight of 1495 kg, and the body structure is a 4-door 5-seater sedan.

How to Use ESP?

ESP is enabled by default and is fully controlled by the vehicle's computer, requiring no input from the driver. Below is detailed information about ESP: 1. Generally, vehicles equipped with ESP have an "ESPOFF" button. This button is used to turn the ESP function on or off. 2. When ESP is enabled, if the vehicle's computer detects potential skidding or fishtailing, it will reduce engine torque (by controlling engine speed) and apply braking to individual wheels to prevent skidding or fishtailing. 3. ESP is enabled by default. Pressing the ESPOFF button once will disable the ESP function, and an indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard. Pressing the button again will re-enable ESP. If the indicator light is off, it means the ESP function is currently enabled.
