When 'off' appears on a car, it refers to the vehicle stability control system, also known as the anti-skid control system. This is an active safety system in automobiles that enhances the vehicle's handling safety coefficient and driving convenience. The illumination of 'off' indicates that the vehicle's stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. The characteristics of the vehicle stability control system include: 1. Real-time monitoring of the driver's control actions; 2. Active regulation of the engine throttle and speed, adjustment of wheel driving force and braking force, and correction of the vehicle's oversteer and understeer; 3. When the driver operates improperly or the road conditions are abnormal, the system will alert the driver with a warning light.

Why does the car window glass go up and then come down again?

The reason the car window glass goes up and then comes down again is that the anti-pinch function is activated. Check if the rubber seal around the window is too dirty, causing increased resistance. Additionally, the window motor needs to have its position reset. To do this, raise the window to the top and then hold the up position for 10 seconds. The anti-pinch function works through tactile and visual detection. Tactile detection means when the car's power window mechanism senses an obstacle, it will stop raising the window and automatically lower it. This is triggered by the power window's current sensor. When the window pinches something, the electric motor slows down, the Hall sensor sends a signal to the ECU, the ECU instructs the relay to reverse the motor's current direction, causing the window glass to lower.
