The OFF button in Volkswagen automatic transmission vehicles refers to the deactivation button for the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. This button is enabled by default, and pressing and holding it can deactivate the system. It is an active safety device primarily designed to prevent the vehicle from skidding or losing control. If the OFF light on the car illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's ESC system is either deactivated or malfunctioning. OFF on the air conditioning control panel: When the vehicle's air conditioning system is operating normally, pressing the OFF button on the control panel can shut down the system. The control panel does not have a dedicated ON button; however, pressing any button on the panel can turn the system back on. OFF in other systems: For example, the light switch, wiper switch, and cruise control switch all have OFF buttons. When the corresponding operation is set to the OFF position, that system will be deactivated.

What Causes Engine Shaking at Idle Speed?

Regarding the specific reasons for engine shaking at idle speed: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup caused by a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the fuel injectors during cold starts is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture and difficulty starting. 2. Ignition system malfunction. Over time, components such as spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils can degrade, leading to poor ignition system performance. 3. Unstable fuel pressure. This can be caused by abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor, which can cause the engine to shake. 4. Aging engine components. When electrical systems are turned on while the engine is idling, it increases the engine load, causing the idle speed to drop.

Should I Shift to P Gear After Turning Off the Engine?

It is recommended to shift to P gear before turning off the engine. The reasons for shifting to P gear first are as follows: 1. In fact, the engine can be turned off in any gear. If you turn off the engine before shifting to P gear, the car may move under external force, posing a potential hazard. 2. The principle of P gear (Parking gear): It uses related mechanical devices to lock the rotating parts of the car. P gear can cut off the power transmission inside the gearbox and lock the output shaft, preventing the wheels from rotating in the same direction. 3. If the vehicle is not in P gear when the engine is turned off, it will emit a warning signal. For mechanical key models, the key cannot be removed, and for push-button start models, the car cannot be locked.

Is the Parking Brake System the Handbrake?

Parking brake system is the handbrake. More information about the parking brake system is as follows: 1. Parking brake, commonly known as handbrake. Function: Provides resistance to the car when parked. 2. The parking brake is either the handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, used to lock the drive shaft or rear wheels. The parking brake has less force than the service brake and only prevents the vehicle from rolling when parked on a slope. 3. There are different types of parking brakes. Mechanical mechanisms operated by hand or foot; high-end vehicles increasingly use electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes. 4. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope; electronic handbrakes use a slope sensor to provide accurate parking force through the controller.
