When the EPC light illuminates on a Volkswagen Golf 7, it indicates a fault in the engine management system or electronic control. Explanation of EPC light illumination: The EPC warning light staying on continuously signifies a malfunction in the engine management system or electronic control, often accompanied by unstable idling or cold start engine vibrations. However, for domestic vehicle owners in China, this is typically caused by inferior fuel quality or dirty driving environments. It is recommended to drive to a maintenance service station for inspection as soon as possible. In most cases, cleaning the throttle body can resolve the issue. Precautions when the EPC light is on: If the EPC light is on without any noticeable symptoms of malfunction, you may continue driving, but timely maintenance inspection is still required.

Vehicle condition aspects: Exercise caution with cheap vehicles in poor condition, particularly aged vehicles or accident cars. After identifying your ideal model, prioritize newer vehicles within your budget when possible.

Can Hazard Lights Be Used During Heavy Rain on Highways?

Hazard lights can be used during heavy rain on highways, but doing so is very dangerous. Heavy rain can obscure road conditions for drivers, and using hazard lights may confuse following vehicles about whether your car is moving or preparing to slow down and stop. Additionally, it becomes difficult for trailing vehicles to discern your lane-changing intentions, significantly increasing the risk of accidents. Below is relevant information about the use of hazard lights in vehicles: Use when the vehicle cannot move: When a vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident while waiting for the police, hazard lights should be activated. This serves as a warning to following vehicles, alerting them to the presence of a stationary vehicle ahead to prevent collisions and further safety incidents. Do not use in low visibility: Traffic authorities have also issued regulations stating that using hazard lights in extremely low visibility conditions will result in a 1-point penalty and a fine. Therefore, it is crucial to remember not to use hazard lights during heavy rain or dense fog.
