The reasons why the handbrake light stays on are: 1. The handbrake is not fully released, causing the handbrake light to illuminate. You should promptly check and fully release the handbrake. 2. Insufficient brake fluid, where the brake fluid level is below the safety line, causing the handbrake light to illuminate. You should promptly check and refill the brake fluid. 3. Worn brake pads or foreign objects lodged in the brake pads causing the handbrake light to illuminate. You should promptly check and replace the brake pads or remove any foreign objects. Additional Information: Handbrake Principle: The handbrake uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce effectiveness and increase the handbrake travel distance.

What is the displacement of the Audi Q7 35TFSI?

Audi Q7 35TFSI has a 3.0T displacement. Below is relevant information about the Audi Q7 35TFSI: 1. Meaning: FSI represents an engine technology, and TFSI stands for Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection engine. Due to domestic fuel not meeting the 'fuel stratified combustion' standard, TFSI has come to mean Turbocharged Direct Injection. 2. Calculation: The number preceding TFSI is calculated using the following formula: 100 km/1 hour/100 km acceleration time/9.8 (gravitational acceleration) = final number. It's important to note that the last digit should always end with 0 or 5. Before calculation, conversion is needed. 100 km = 100,000 meters (m), 1 hour = 3,600 seconds (S). Taking a 2.0T engine with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 seconds as an example, the calculation would be 100,000/3,600/8.2/9.8 = 34%, approximately equal to 35%. Therefore, this car is named 35TFSI.
