Car OFF is the button to turn off the Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC), which is enabled by default. Press and hold this button to deactivate it. The working principle of the Vehicle Stability Control System is that when the speed difference between the left and right wheels exceeds the threshold set by the computer, the system will detect a side slip or tail slide of the vehicle. It will then apply braking to individual wheels and reduce engine output torque to control and prevent side slip or tail slide situations. The Vehicle Stability Control System is an active safety system developed by Toyota, which includes ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation). It prevents wheel lock-up during braking and wheel spin during acceleration.

What Causes Engine Vibration in BMW 5 Series?

Here are the specific reasons for engine vibration in BMW 5 Series: 1. Aging or loosening of engine mounts: The engine mount is the rubber block between the engine and the frame. Its function is to reduce vibration and cushion the engine's operation, as well as to secure the engine in place. Once these mounts age or become loose, the engine vibration becomes noticeably abnormal. 2. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly. Common symptoms include: intermittent exhaust flow with noticeable gaps, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and obvious engine vibration, sometimes accompanied by a sputtering sound. This is often related to ignition coil failure.

Does closing the exhaust valve damage the car?

Closing the exhaust valve can damage the car. Below are the relevant details about the exhaust valve: Resistant to deformation: The float of the exhaust valve is made of low-density PP material, which does not deform even after prolonged immersion in high-temperature water. This prevents difficulty in the movement of the float. Resistant to rust: The float lever is made of hard plastic, and the connections between the lever, float, and support are all movable joints. Therefore, no rust will form during long-term operation, which could otherwise cause the system to malfunction and result in water leakage. The sealing end of the lever is supported by a spring, allowing it to expand and contract with the lever's movement, ensuring a tight seal when not exhausting.

Which Mercedes-Benz model features the Yacht Blue color?

Mercedes-Benz Yacht Blue is featured on the E260 Coupe model. Below are the main differences between imported and domestically produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles: 1. Workmanship: Domestically produced vehicles exhibit rough handling of door corners and sheet metal, with noticeable imperfections in the driver's seat area, including around the accelerator and brake pedals and under the steering wheel, where plastic edges and material installations often have burrs. The trunk and storage spaces lack any protective measures. Domestic Mercedes-Benz models often cut corners, a practice rarely seen in imported versions. 2. Precision: In domestic Mercedes-Benz models, areas such as the chassis and plastic assembly parts that should have screws often lack them. 3. Configuration: Domestic configurations are more expensive than their imported counterparts.

Additional information: The following situations can cause the traction control system warning light to illuminate: 1. Solenoid valve failure; 2. Dirty engine oil clogging the solenoid valve filter; 3. Wear on the actuator gear and impeller leading to oil pressure leakage and triggering the alarm; 4. Dirty throttle body, with an opening reaching 20%, causing the engine computer to misjudge a TC fault.
