The illumination of the Vehicle Stability Control System light is primarily caused by a malfunction in the electronic control system of the vehicle stability. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a 4S dealership to use a professional diagnostic scanner to read the fault codes, and then proceed with repairs based on the identified codes. The Vehicle Stability System, also known as the ESP system, mainly consists of three major components: sensors, actuators, and an electronic control unit. The Vehicle Stability System is an active safety feature in automobiles that significantly enhances the vehicle's handling and safety. When the car undergoes sharp turns or sudden acceleration, the sensors on the vehicle can quickly detect these conditions and take appropriate measures to control the tires accordingly, while also reducing the engine's power output to ensure the vehicle remains stable.

How to Lock the Car with Keyless Function?

The automatic locking function when leaving the car does not require any setup. If the car is equipped with this feature, the vehicle will automatically lock when the smart key moves a certain distance away from the car. The automatic locking function when leaving the car utilizes distance sensing, where the vehicle will automatically lock once the key is beyond a certain range. Additional details are as follows: 1. Keyless Function Locking Range: Generally, vehicles with keyless entry can recognize the smart key within a range of 2-5 meters. The doors will unlock when the key is within 1-2 meters of the driver's side door, and the automatic locking distance is roughly the same. This range may vary depending on the car model, so please refer to the user manual for specific details. 2. Car Smart Key: The car smart key consists of a transmitter, a remote central locking control module, a driving authorization system control module (three receivers), and related wiring harnesses that form the control system. This system employs advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which automatically locks and unlocks the doors via the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. In other words, when the driver approaches the vehicle within a certain distance, the door locks will automatically open and disable the anti-theft system. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the door locks will automatically engage and activate the anti-theft system.

What are the reasons for the brake light staying on?

There are three possible reasons why a car's brake light stays on: 1. Lack of brake fluid, which is an indispensable part of the car's braking system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the force applied to the pedal is transmitted by the piston of the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the brake cylinders located at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle. 2. The tail light bulb is damaged. The brake fluid reservoir has upper and lower limits. When the brake fluid level falls below the lower limit, the sensor next to the reservoir detects this and reflects it through the brake light on the dashboard. If the brake fluid decreases rapidly, it indicates a leak in the braking system. 3. The brake pads need replacement. Note that if the hand brake is not released while driving, the light will also stay on.
