How to Deal with the ABS Light Turning On?

The Anti-lock Braking System, abbreviated as ABS, functions to automatically regulate the braking force during vehicle deceleration, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining a state where wheels roll and slide simultaneously (with a slip ratio around 20%). This ensures maximum traction between the tires and the road surface. Below are detailed explanations regarding the ABS light illumination: 1. System Malfunction: When the ABS light turns on, it indicates a fault within the ABS system (typically a sensor failure), rendering it inoperable. However, standard braking remains unaffected, allowing continued driving. Schedule a visit to a 4S store or professional auto repair shop for maintenance at your convenience. 2. Precautions: In extreme conditions (such as high-speed driving or icy roads), sudden braking may risk wheel lock-up. Lock-up refers to the scenario where, during braking, the tires cease rotation entirely after a single brake application. This can easily lead to loss of vehicle control, resulting in traffic accidents and other hazards.

Why did a traffic violation record mysteriously appear on my driver's license?

Your driver's license may have been fraudulently used. You can appeal to recover the deducted points, but it's troublesome and the success rate is very low. Specific details are as follows: 1. Apply for a replacement license: The most effective solution when your driver's license is fraudulently used is to apply for a lost license replacement. Currently, each driver's license has a unique serial number and is managed with computer traceability. After the driver applies for a replacement license, the original license and its serial number will be marked as invalid in the license management system, preventing others from fraudulently using it. 2. Avoid lending it out: Many people tend to lend their driver's licenses to others, especially to colleagues, friends, or for handling violations on their behalf. Generally, if a driver's license is fraudulently used, it's because the driver carelessly left their ID and driver's license copies with others or lent the original license to someone else.

How to set up the automatic locking for Vios?

The Vios does not come with an automatic locking function as standard and requires aftermarket installation. The steps to set up automatic locking are as follows: 1. Put the gear in the P position to prevent the vehicle from moving. 2. Turn the key to the ON position with all four doors closed. 3. Press the lock button (hold for 6 seconds). 4. Observe the hazard indicator on the dashboard flashing twice. 5. The automatic locking activation is complete. Additional information about automatic locking: 1. Purpose of the automatic locking function: Anti-theft, locking after driving, providing a certain level of security. It protects passengers, especially children, by preventing them from opening the door handles while the car is in motion. 2. When the vehicle speed reaches the preset speed by the computer (usually set by the manufacturer, typically between 10 km/h to 20 km/h), the lock button will automatically engage to prevent accidental door opening. This is the most common type of automatic locking used in many car models (such as Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, etc.).

Why does the Tacqua make a rattling noise when braking at startup?

Tacqua may make a rattling noise when braking at startup due to worn brake pads that need timely replacement. Brake pads are consumable parts that gradually wear thinner during vehicle use. When the friction layer is nearly depleted, an alarm device—the brake pad's limit iron piece—located at the edge of the pad will scrape against the brake disc, producing a sharp metallic friction sound as a warning to the driver to replace the brake pads. Below is an introduction to brake pedal operation: 1. Introduction to brake pedal operation: Brake pedal operation in vehicles is categorized into slow braking (predictive braking), emergency braking, combined braking, and intermittent braking. Generally, when performing slow or emergency braking, the clutch pedal should be fully depressed before the wheels lock or the vehicle stops to prevent engine stalling and facilitate speed adjustment. 2. Mastering braking timing and force: Typically, avoid stomping the brake pedal to lock the wheels immediately. Instead, first press the brake pedal with force adjusted based on need—quick and firm for higher speeds, gentle and steady for lower speeds—then adjust pressure according to the situation.

What to Do When the Rear Wheels of a Car Don't Turn After Being Parked for a Long Time?

If the rear wheels of a car don't turn after being parked for a long time, it may be due to the rear brake calipers being rusted and stuck. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for repairs as soon as possible. Below are the potential impacts of leaving a car unused for an extended period: 1. Oil Leaks: Prolonged inactivity can cause the oil seals to deteriorate and age, leading to oil leaks in the vehicle. 2. Reduced Engine Performance: The oil and other fluids in the car may degrade over time, directly affecting the engine's performance. 3. Brake Performance Issues: Extended periods of inactivity can cause problems in the braking system, such as brake failure or rusting of the brake pads.

What to Do When the Seat Belt Warning Light Is On?

Reasons why the seat belt warning light on the car dashboard stays on: 1. The seat belt warning light will stay on when the seat belt is not fastened. In this case, fasten the seat belt properly. 2. If the seat belt is already fastened but the seat belt warning light on the car dashboard remains on, it may be due to a loose connection of the seat belt sensor socket. Tighten the socket connection. Below are the specific functions of car seat belts: 1. Protecting passenger safety: Car seat belts can protect passenger safety, especially on highways where rear passengers need to fasten their seat belts. A seat belt buckle is a device that can be installed in the car seat belt socket, preventing the seat belt alarm from sounding when the driver does not fasten the seat belt. 2. Ensuring driving safety: The seat belt is the only guarantee of driver safety and is an active safety measure. Even when driving at relatively low speeds, if a collision or emergency braking occurs, the resulting inertia force, although relatively small, is still enough to prevent the driver and passengers from controlling their bodies, leading to collisions with hard components such as the steering wheel and windshield, causing bodily harm.
