Automatic transmission A-circle button is the Auto Hold system. The Auto Hold system is a technological application that enables automatic handbrake functionality while the car is in motion. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle comes to a stop, and it prevents unnecessary rolling of the vehicle when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged. Below is an introduction to the Auto Hold system: Principle: The working principle of the Auto Hold system lies in the brake management system controlling the four-wheel brakes through the extended functionality of the electronic parking brake (EPB). In other words, the Auto Hold system is an extension of the electronic parking brake (EPB), controlled by the ESP component. Working process: When the vehicle is temporarily stopped and needs to be restarted within a short period, the parking function is handled by the ESP-controlled brakes. The computer uses a series of sensors to measure the vehicle's levelness and wheel torque, determining any tendency for the vehicle to roll. It then applies an appropriate braking force to the wheels to keep the vehicle stationary.

Why can't the tire be removed after loosening the spare tire bolt on the Excelle?

Is the Audi EPC light on serious?

Audi EPC light on is relatively serious. The illumination of the EPC indicator light indicates a fault in the electronic throttle system. If not addressed promptly, it may affect the normal operation of the vehicle. The owner can turn off the engine and restart the car to see if the EPC light remains on. If it does not light up, it means there is no problem, and it was just a false alarm caused by the EPC light being affected. If the EPC light remains on, the solutions are: 1. Clean the throttle body; 2. Remove carbon deposits from related parts; 3. Rewrite the ECU-related data. Taking the Audi Q3 as an example: it is a compact SUV under FAW-Volkswagen Audi, with a length, width, and height of 4481 mm, 1848 mm, and 1616 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2680 mm. In terms of power, the Audi Q3 is equipped with a turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum power speed of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 1750 to 3000 rpm.

What Are the Effects of Repairing Cars on Rainy Days?

There is not much impact. However, when repainting a car on a rainy day, it must be dried in a baking room. Once dried, it will be fine, just like a brand-new car. Even heavy rain or snow won't cause issues. But if it's air-dried naturally, extra caution is needed because the primer beneath the paint is putty, which is difficult to dry thoroughly once wet. Try to avoid water contact, as the top layer of clear coat may not dry properly. If the putty on the sheet metal gets wet, the paint may crack after application. Using a lamp or warm air to dry it before painting can help, though drying will take longer. If polishing is needed, wait a few days before proceeding. Avoid washing the car or touching the painted area in the following days. Additional Information: 1. Overview: Car painting involves applying a layer of paint to protect the vehicle's surface. Automotive paint is typically baked. In car manufacturing plants, after the frame and body are welded, the next step is painting. Types include standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. The process includes applying putty, sanding, and painting. 2. Types of car paint include: standard paint; metallic paint; pearl paint; clear coat; matte paint.
