The button with an 'a' and a circle represents the auto start-stop function. Here's how to use it: 1. After starting the car, the auto start-stop function will be activated. For example, when approaching a traffic light, if you press the brake for 1 to 2 seconds after stopping, this function will automatically turn off the engine. To restart when the light turns green, simply lightly press the accelerator or turn the steering wheel, and the engine will start again; 2. In congested traffic or when parking, you can choose to turn off this function. Some car models are equipped with both auto hold and auto start-stop functions, allowing you to relieve foot fatigue by not needing to press the brake pedal, while also improving the vehicle's fuel economy. The auto start-stop will turn off the engine for a short period, but without the auto hold function, you cannot release the brake pedal.

Why is there no response when pressing the AC button?

The reasons for no response when pressing the AC button: 1. Compressor damage; 2. Compressor clutch damage; 3. Some circuits have malfunctioned. After pressing the AC button, the compressor clutch engages, and the engine drives the compressor to operate, allowing the compressor to continuously compress the refrigerant and deliver it to the evaporator. The refrigerant used in car air conditioners is generally R134a, which needs to be replaced regularly. If not replaced on schedule, it will affect the cooling effect and speed of the air conditioner. If the compressor clutch is damaged, the clutch will not engage when the AC button is pressed, and the engine will not drive the compressor to run, resulting in no cooling from the air conditioner.

What does 'auto' mean in car lights?

Auto in car lights refers to the automatic headlights, which will turn on or off automatically when the light intensity exceeds or falls below a certain threshold. The full name is automatic light-sensing headlights, which primarily rely on a key component—the ambient light sensor—to determine whether the lights need to be turned on. This sensor can automatically detect the brightness of the external environment. When the external brightness drops below a certain level, the automatic headlights will activate; when the external brightness rises above a certain level, the headlights will automatically turn off. The advantage of automatic headlights is that they can control the lights' activation and deactivation automatically.

Where is the exhaust valve installed on the Passat B5?

The car's engine is equipped with an exhaust valve, which is a component of the crankcase ventilation system. The exhaust valve, also known as the oil separator or pressure control valve, is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet. Through separation, it improves the heat transfer effect in the condenser and evaporator. The Passat B5 is the fifth-generation model of the Passat brand sedan from Volkswagen AG in Germany. With rectangular headlights, neat air intake grille, straight waistline, upright front nose, and simple arc contour of the roof, the overall appearance of the car is elegant and dignified, with a conventional design that is more likely to be favored by middle-aged people.

What is Volkswagen's Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

Volkswagen's indirect tire pressure monitoring system uses wheel speed sensors to compare the rotational speeds of the tires to determine if there is any abnormal tire pressure. If a monitoring fault is detected, it is likely due to a problem with the wheel speed sensor or poor internal contact. Reasons for the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate include: 1. The tire pressure monitoring light may come on due to a punctured tire; 2. Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring light comes on because the tire pressure is too high; 3. The tire pressure monitoring light may illuminate after driving with low tire pressure for an extended period. Volkswagen's lineup includes models such as Jetta, Touran, Lavida, and Bora. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Lavida are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.
