When the ABS light comes on, it indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. Possible causes include a faulty sensor, issues with the ABS wiring harness, the ABS control module, or the braking system, leading to the failure of the ABS anti-lock braking function. It is important to drive at a low speed to a 4S shop for inspection and repair to eliminate safety hazards. ABS is a vehicle safety control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock features. It is an improved technology based on conventional braking systems and can be categorized into mechanical and electronic types. ABS not only provides the braking function of a standard braking system but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the vehicle to steer while braking, ensuring directional stability, and preventing skidding or deviation.

Do I need to turn on Bluetooth for ETC?

When using ETC on highways, there is no need to turn on the car's Bluetooth or mobile phone Bluetooth. The ETC junction box installed in our car has a short-range communication response system inside, which will automatically communicate with the sensors on the road, and our car and mobile phone do not need to turn on Bluetooth. ETC is currently provided by 8 domestic manufacturers. Some ETC terminals can only be installed via mobile Bluetooth during installation, but Bluetooth does not need to be turned on during use. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, which means electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If it is not the owner who handles it, you also need to bring the agent's valid ID card. The photocopy of the driving license needs to include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; a bank card for deducting highway tolls; aged between 18 and 60; the car must be under the individual's name. How ETC works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and uses computer networking technology to settle accounts with the bank in the background, allowing the vehicle to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through highway or bridge toll stations. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: Avoid the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Save wear and tear: Save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reduce wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improve efficiency: The passing efficiency of ETC lanes can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and has more advantages.

What is a Suspension Chassis?

Chassis suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle frame and the axle or wheels. Chassis suspension is further divided into non-independent chassis suspension and independent chassis suspension. Below is a detailed introduction to the specific classifications of chassis suspension: Non-independent Suspension: Non-independent suspension mounts the wheels at both ends of a solid axle. When one wheel moves or bounces, it affects the other wheel, causing the entire vehicle body to vibrate or tilt. Vehicles with this type of suspension system generally have poorer stability and comfort. However, due to its simple construction and high load-bearing capacity, this suspension is mostly used in trucks, ordinary buses, and some other special vehicles. Independent Suspension: Independent suspension splits the axle into two sections, with each wheel independently mounted under the frame using coil springs. This means that when one wheel bounces, the other wheel is unaffected. The advantage of independent suspension is that it significantly reduces vehicle body vibrations and greatly improves ride comfort, especially when driving on high-speed roads, where it also enhances driving stability.

What is the normal oil temperature for Volkswagen Tiguan?

Volkswagen Tiguan's normal oil temperature ranges between 90-120 degrees Celsius. It may be slightly higher in certain areas but generally does not exceed the coolant temperature. Additionally, higher speeds can lead to relatively higher temperatures, reaching around 100°-110°C. However, if the temperature consistently tends to exceed 120°C, an inspection is required. Excessive oil temperature is a comprehensive fault. Below is additional information: Oil Grade: Engine oil typically starts with 'S,' such as SE, SF, SG, SJ, SL, etc. The further the letter after 'S' in the alphabet, the higher the grade. High-grade oil may not have specific requirements for the engine and can generally be used in any engine. However, low-grade oil should not be used in engines with strict fuel requirements, as it may cause engine wear or even damage. Notes: Temporary mixing of the same type of oil from different brands is acceptable, but long-term mixing should be avoided. Importantly, do not mix oils of different brands and specifications, as different oil additives may react and form sediments, which can be detrimental to engine lubrication.
