Contact the 4S shop: Even if there are no apparent issues with the vehicle, contact the nearest 4S shop to schedule the recall implementation. Relevant authorities: During the recall process up to the vehicle replacement, if any issues arise, you can directly contact the relevant department of the 4S shop handling the recall for inquiries. Check for faults: After receiving the vehicle post-recall repair, inspect it to ensure the fault has been resolved.

Where is the air conditioning filter located in a truck?

The air conditioning filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is relevant information about the air conditioning filter: 1. Function: It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It separates solid impurities from the air such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles. 2. Precautions: The air conditioning filter is prone to accumulating a lot of dust. Use compressed air or similar methods to blow away loose dust—never wash it with water, as this can easily damage it. After prolonged use, the activated carbon filtration function of the air conditioning filter will diminish, so it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter at a 4S shop.

What is the standard dimension for a 90-degree turn in the C1 driving test?

The standard dimension for a 90-degree turn is the wheelbase plus 1 meter. For training vehicles (typically Santana models), the C1 test vehicle dimension follows the same rule: wheelbase +1m. Santana specifications: length 4546mm, width 1710mm, height 1427mm, wheelbase 2548mm. The C1 driver's license permits operation of: small and micro passenger vehicles; light and micro cargo trucks; light/small/micro special purpose vehicles; passenger vehicles seating ≤9 persons. Vehicles excluded from C1 license: large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, heavy trucks, regular trikes/motorcycles, mopeds, wheeled machinery, trolleybuses, trams. Additionally, C1 prohibits vehicles with >9 seats or trucks exceeding 6m total length.

What are the reasons for the ABS light in a Skoda being on?

There are various states in which the ABS light may illuminate, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed and the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal quality due to loose connections between system wires or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the wire connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates, but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases, the voltage rises, and the ABS indicator light turns off. The ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body's wire connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer calculates a significant difference between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the sticker near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advisable not to continue driving. The illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
