The anti-skid light may illuminate due to: 1. Accidentally pressing the ESP off button; 2. Loose or faulty sensor connectors; 3. Short circuits or blown related fuses; 4. Software issues causing poor signal transmission or ABS pump failure. The vehicle's anti-skid system is enabled by default. This system primarily analyzes data from sensors to maintain optimal dynamic balance during driving. The anti-skid system utilizes ABS and ASR electronic control units to process signals from wheel speed sensors, calculating wheel slip rates and vehicle speed. The electronic control unit then adjusts throttle opening and brake pressure to regulate wheel slip, preventing skidding during vehicle operation.

Do new cars have an environmental protection label?

New cars do have an environmental protection label, but as of January 1, 2017, the environmental protection department has ceased issuing the motor vehicle environmental protection inspection qualification label. Here are the relevant details: 1. No issuance of environmental protection labels: The environmental protection department no longer issues the motor vehicle environmental protection inspection qualification label. Vehicle safety inspection agencies will photograph the emission inspection qualification report and upload it to the traffic management department of the public security bureau through the motor vehicle safety technical inspection supervision system. Vehicles that fail the periodic emission inspection will not receive a safety technical inspection qualification certificate. The traffic management department will not issue a safety technical inspection qualification label for vehicles without a periodic emission inspection qualification report. 2. Vehicle environmental protection label: The vehicle environmental protection label is a classification label for motor vehicle emission standards issued by the state, divided into yellow and green categories. It is reviewed based on vehicle type and emission standards before being issued. The purpose is to meet the requirements for energy-saving and emission-reduction inspections and periodic environmental protection checks for vehicles.

What Does Tank Turn Mode Mean?

Here is the relevant introduction to the tank turn mode: 1. Tank turn, as the name suggests, means turning in place like a tank. In reality, it involves locking the rear axle and then turning in place, which is extremely practical in areas restricted by terrain. 2. Principle: When this function is enabled for turning (at low speed), the inner tire of the turn is braked by the electronic system, while the outer tire rotates normally. You can imagine the vehicle as a compass, reducing the movement trajectory of the inner tire to minimize the turning radius. This function consists of a series of complex electronic programs and mechanical systems and is only suitable for use on unpaved roads. 3. Specific operation: First, shift to P or N gear, activate low-range four-wheel drive mode, then shift to D gear, turn on the creep mode, release the brake, and the vehicle will move on its own. Then, turn the steering wheel to a certain angle and press the tank turn button, controlling the speed with the speed button.

What Does the Car Anti-Theft Indicator Light Look Like?

When locking the car, you may often notice a light flashing near the windshield or windows. This is the anti-theft indicator light, signaling that the vehicle's anti-theft system has been activated and is in a protective state. The functions of the car anti-theft indicator light are as follows: 1. Reminder function: After pressing the lock button on the smart key, the car's anti-theft system activates, and the anti-theft light flashes to remind the owner that the anti-theft system is engaged and the vehicle is in a secured state. 2. Battery aspect: If the car's engine anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it is normal. This indicates that the vehicle's engine has entered the anti-theft state, and the engine anti-theft system is functioning properly. This is a normal occurrence and does not require the owner to deactivate it, posing no issues to the battery. However, if the battery is dead, the vehicle's anti-theft system will lock the car, preventing the use of the remote control to deactivate the anti-theft system, open the doors, or start the engine. In such cases, the vehicle must be unlocked using the mechanical key, and the battery must be jump-started or replaced.

How to Maintain an Electric Vehicle Battery?

Maintenance measures and precautions for automotive batteries are as follows: 1. Keep the battery clean and dry at all times, ensuring the vent holes are unobstructed. If oxides appear on the plates or terminals, wipe them clean and apply a small amount of grease to prevent corrosion. 2. Avoid continuous use of the starter; each use should not exceed 5 seconds, with a rest period of 10-15 seconds between starts. In severe winter, the battery discharge level should not exceed 25%, and in summer, it should not exceed 50%. 3. A fully charged battery should not be left in a state of insufficient charge for extended periods; regular charging is necessary to prevent permanent damage. 4. When charging the battery, ensure the voltage is neither too low nor too high. Generally, the standard charging voltage for a 12V battery is within the range of (13.5~14.5)V, and for a 24V battery, it is within (28~29.9)V. 5. The electrolyte level should be (10~15)mm above the plates. If the level is too low, promptly add distilled water—do not add electrolyte. In the absence of distilled water, rainwater or melted snow can be used as a substitute, but never use river water or tap water.

What to Do When the Car Windows Fog Up in the Rain?

On rainy days, you can use the air conditioning system to defog the car windows. Here are the relevant instructions for defogging: 1. Manual air conditioning: Turn on the front window defogging mode, then set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the A/C switch, and adjust the temperature to the lowest. The fog on the windows will be eliminated shortly. 2. Some car models are equipped with rear window electric heating and external rearview mirrors. Simply click the switch to turn them on, and the fog will be eliminated in about a minute. 3. Automatic air conditioning: Generally, you just need to press the one-touch defrost button. After pressing it, the air volume will automatically turn to maximum and the external circulation will be activated, which is both practical and convenient. 4. In winter, you can use the heating system to defog. If the car has just been started, do not turn on the air conditioning temporarily. Wait until the engine has been preheated for a few minutes and the water temperature rises. Then start the heating, set the air volume to maximum, and turn on the front window defogging mode. The fog will disappear in a few minutes.

Should You Release the Clutch Before Stepping on the Accelerator?

No, you can step on the accelerator while releasing the clutch. Here is the relevant information: 1. Clutch and Throttle Coordination: When starting a manual transmission car, you need to release the clutch and step on the accelerator simultaneously, which is called clutch and throttle coordination. 2. Adjustment: Proper clutch and throttle coordination should be adjusted according to the vehicle speed. During the starting phase, place the gear in neutral, start the engine, press the clutch pedal, shift into first gear, slowly release the clutch, and coordinate with the accelerator pedal to ensure a smooth start. 3. Attention: The clutch pedal must be fully depressed when pressed. While slowly releasing the clutch pedal, feel the vehicle's vibration and movement tendency. When the vehicle shows slight vibration and a tendency to move, gently apply the accelerator while continuing to slowly release the clutch pedal until it is fully released, ensuring a smooth start. 4. Gear Shifting: Clutch and throttle coordination is equally important when shifting gears while the vehicle is in motion.
