Here are the reasons why the warning light stays on: 1. The vehicle's exhaust emissions do not meet the standards, mainly due to excessive carbon buildup. Of course, a failed catalytic converter or clogged fuel injectors can also cause the engine warning light to stay on. The main causes of these warning lights are related to fuel quality and whether the gasoline is burning completely. To reduce the occurrence of these warning lights, it is important to maintain proper driving habits during normal driving, avoiding sudden braking or flooring the accelerator, among other improper driving behaviors. 2. The engine warning light may also stay on due to a malfunction in the internal components of the engine system. Car enthusiasts familiar with the internal structure of the engine know that the engine system is assembled with many sensors and various small components, which require regular maintenance during normal driving. Over time, these components and sensors are prone to malfunction. Therefore, if this situation occurs, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop for repairs. Methods like turning off the ignition and restarting the vehicle to resolve the warning light issue are not reliable and not practical.

How to Properly Use High Beams for Beginners

The correct methods for beginners to use high beams are: 1. Turn on high beams when driving on poorly lit roads at night, and switch to low beams early when encountering oncoming traffic; 2. When the traffic light turns green but the vehicle ahead doesn't move, flash the high beams once (note: avoid frequent flashing exceeding three times); 3. When encountering lane cutting situations on viaducts or highways, respond with a single flash to indicate agreement, while consecutive flashes mean refusal; 4. If noticing problems with vehicles ahead, flash high beams three times consecutively to alert the driver; 5. When pedestrians or non-motor vehicles run red lights or ride outside bicycle lanes, use alternating high and low beams for warning.

What is the fuel-saving mode of the Volkswagen Passat?

Economy Mode (ECO) is when the vehicle's computer controls the fuel injection volume of the cylinders and alters the usual gear-shifting logic. In simpler terms, the vehicle's full power is restrained. When the driver presses the accelerator, the power doesn't kick in immediately but gradually increases, making the car feel sluggish. Comfort Mode: The suspension performs more softly and linearly, the steering wheel response improves, and the vehicle's stability is further enhanced. This means better smoothness and comfort when going over speed bumps or when braking and accelerating, with more prominent cushioning. Passengers experience improved comfort, and the sensation of jerking is significantly reduced. Auto Mode: This mode intelligently adjusts various performance aspects and is suitable for more conventional drivers. It's like a pre-set camera—just press the shutter. The comfort level is good, and the throttle response is quick.
