Reasons for the brake system warning light coming on: 1. Severe wear of brake pads; 2. Brake fluid level is too low. When the brake system warning light comes on, check if there is a lack of brake fluid, ensure the parking switch is properly reset, and use a diagnostic tool to check for any faults in systems related to the braking system. If the brake system warning light comes on while driving, the driver should remain calm, slow down as much as possible, and pull over to a safe location as soon as possible. The braking device works by creating friction between the brake pads and the drum or disc, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy during the friction process. The brake system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system.

Is it generally not penalized to cross a single white line on the highway?

Crossing a single white line on the highway is penalized, just like on regular roads, as it constitutes a violation of prohibited marking instructions. If caught by electronic surveillance or traffic police, it will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. The purpose of white solid lines is to separate lanes in the same direction, typically used at intersections before traffic lights, highway ramps, bridge entrances, tunnels, etc. White solid lines are also present in white guiding lines, and vehicles are strictly prohibited from suddenly changing lanes and crossing them when approaching. Introduction to highway white lines: 1. Rumble strips: Raised white markings on the road that alert drivers to curves, downhill sections, etc.; 2. Optical illusion markings: These create an optical illusion for drivers, making the road appear to narrow or dip, prompting them to slow down before entering tunnels; 3. Deceleration markings: These create a visual narrowing of the lane, inducing a sense of pressure to remind drivers to slow down when navigating curves or slopes; 4. Guiding lines: Used at irregular, overly wide, or complex intersections and other special locations.

Does the 2022 Tiguan L have a particulate filter?

2022 Tiguan L is equipped with a particulate filter, which is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, capable of reducing more than 90% of the soot produced by diesel engines. The working principle of the particulate filter is to adsorb carbon soot particles on the filter, and when the adsorption reaches a certain level, the accumulated carbon soot particles are burned off. Taking the 2022 Tiguan L 330TSI automatic two-wheel-drive Comfort Edition as an example: Introduction: It is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4733mm, 1839mm, and 1673mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2791mm, and the engine's maximum torque is 320 Nm.

How many kilometers can the Cruze run on a full tank of fuel?

The Cruze 1.0t model has a fuel consumption of 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers, the 1.5l model consumes 7.0 liters per 100 kilometers, and the 1.3t model consumes 7.6 liters per 100 kilometers. The Cruze is a compact sedan under Chevrolet, with dimensions of 4614 mm in length, 1798 mm in width, and 1485 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640 mm. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Rough roads increase fuel consumption: Driving on congested or uneven roads for long periods in low gears inevitably increases fuel consumption. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: Loading the trunk with unnecessary items increases the vehicle's weight, which directly impacts fuel consumption. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption decreases by several percentage points accordingly.

Why did the Mercedes-Benz auto start-stop suddenly stop working?

Accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button, complex activation conditions, or failure to meet the start-stop requirements. Below are detailed explanations of the reasons: Accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button: Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop functionality usually have the system enabled by default. If it suddenly stops working, it might be due to accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button on the car, which turns the system off. Check if the system has been deactivated. Complex activation conditions: If the car is a manual transmission, the conditions for activating the auto start-stop are more complex. When parking, the system will only activate after recognizing three actions: "shifting to neutral, pulling the handbrake, and releasing the clutch." Failure to meet the start-stop conditions: Different models from various brands have different designs for the auto start-stop system. Taking the new Passat's auto start-stop system as an example, certain conditions must be met. Specifically, the seatbelt must be fastened, the left front door must be closed, and the engine must be running. Therefore, check the user manual for any specific precautions.
