It indicates an important warning, which can be viewed in the warning section by pressing the function button on the left side of the steering wheel. Generally, it could be one of the following situations: 1. It might indicate low fuel, low tire pressure, or low engine oil. In this case, the light serves as a traction control system warning light. It usually appears after a test run when the wheels are suspended and signals are lost, and it can be resolved by visiting a service station for adjustment. 2. There might be issues with the ABS and traction control system, which could affect driving on poor road conditions. It is recommended to visit a service station for inspection. This indicator is the TCS (Traction Control System) light. 3. Car dashboards vary, but generally, conventional car dashboards include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge, among others. 4. The brake warning light is red, with a "!" symbol inside a circle. If the red brake warning light is on, it indicates one of the following issues with the braking system: severely worn brake pads; low brake fluid level; the parking brake is engaged. In most cases, if the red brake warning light is on, the ABS warning light will also illuminate simultaneously.

How to Detect a Car Radiator Leak?

Check the car radiator for leaks by following these steps: 1. Check if the radiator cap is tightly secured. Frequent bumps during driving may loosen the radiator cap. If it's loose, tighten it. 2. Inspect the engine oil for signs of emulsification. Remove the engine oil filler cap to check for emulsification. If present, disassemble the engine and replace the cylinder head gasket. 3. Identify the leak location in the radiator. Try pressurizing the radiator with air to see where water seeps out under pressure, then decide on a repair plan based on the leak location. 4. Examine the radiator rubber hoses for leaks. If the hose connection is leaking, tighten the hose clamp with a screwdriver. If the hose is cracked, replace it with a new one at a repair shop. 5. Assess the radiator's quality. If the radiator has quality issues, replace it with a high-quality one at a repair shop.

How to adjust the air conditioning in Audi Q5?

Audi Q5's air conditioning adjustment method is as follows: 1. Press the button or turn the regulator to turn the function on or off. When the function is enabled, the LEDs in the respective buttons and corresponding regulators will light up. Press regulator 2 to turn the air conditioning unit on or off. If another button or regulator is pressed, the air conditioning unit will also be turned on. When the air conditioning unit is turned off, the air supply from outside the vehicle is cut off. 2. A/C cooling operation mode: Press the A/C button to turn the cooling mode on or off. When the cooling operation mode is turned off, the air is not cooled or dehumidified. This may cause fogging on the windshield. When the outside temperature is below zero, the cooling mode is automatically turned off. 3. Cooling operation: Use the button to turn maximum cooling on/off. When the cooling operation mode is turned off, the air is not cooled or dehumidified. This may cause fogging on the windshield. When the outside temperature is below zero, the cooling mode is automatically turned off. When cooling operation is turned on, the interior of the vehicle is cooled and dehumidified as quickly as possible.

Should a car use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

Generally, naturally aspirated engine cars require 92 octane gasoline, while turbocharged engine cars usually need 95 octane gasoline. Some supercars equipped with large-displacement naturally aspirated multi-cylinder engines typically require 98 octane gasoline. Different octane ratings indicate varying levels of octane content - the higher the rating, the greater the octane content and the better the gasoline's anti-knock performance. When refueling, it's best to use the specified octane rating. Here's how to check your car's required fuel grade: 1. Consult the vehicle owner's manual. 2. Check the fuel grade marked on the fuel tank cap.

Is the Auto Start-Stop Function Useful?

Auto start-stop function is useful. It can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. Here are some precautions when using the engine auto start-stop: 1. Turn off start-stop in traffic jams: Repeated start-stop not only increases fuel consumption but also adds burden to the engine. 2. Turn off start-stop on slopes: Although the auto start-stop time is very brief, the engine start-stop on slopes may cause insufficient brake assistance. 3. Turn off start-stop when using air conditioning: Because the air conditioning requires relatively high power consumption, and when the engine is stopped, the vehicle's power may not be enough to drive the air conditioning, making passengers feel uncomfortable. 4. Turn off start-stop when wading: When the vehicle is wading, the speed is relatively low. At this time, once the brake is stepped on, the auto start-stop will intervene, and the engine will stop working, then the exhaust pipe will have negative atmospheric pressure, which will cause water to flow into the exhaust pipe. If the engine is started again, it will seriously damage the engine.
