OFF and ON both belong to the switch keys. The OFF key means to turn off. The ON key means to turn on. A common example is the car light lever, where turning the knob to ON turns the lights on, and turning the knob to OFF turns the lights off. A button with a circled letter A and the word OFF below it is the auto start-stop function switch. Pressing it can turn the engine auto start-stop function on or off. ESPOFF refers to the electronic stability program off switch. When the ESPOFF switch is pressed, the ESPOFF icon will appear on the dashboard to remind the driver that "the ESP system has been turned off." When the car leaves the factory, the default setting is to turn on the ESP system when the ignition is on. Therefore, when the ESPOFF button is lit, it means this function is not activated; when the button is not lit, which is the default state of the vehicle, it means this function is activated. Most driving assistance systems in cars today are turned on automatically, so some buttons have a pattern with OFF written below. Pressing OFF means turning off the corresponding assistance system. There are some buttons in the car that are not recommended to be pressed randomly: The automatic handbrake button, especially while driving, can be very dangerous. The ESP button. ESP can only be turned off under the following circumstances: when the vehicle is stuck in mud or sand during off-roading; when aggressive driving is required (e.g., drifting); when the vehicle is equipped with snow chains. The drive mode button. On some rough and difficult roads, this button can be pressed. During normal driving, the default state is optimal. In fact, not only in cars are OFF and ON used as switches, but they also mean the same thing on other items. Many household appliances we use daily have these words.

How to Fix a Car Ignition Lock That Won't Turn?

Here are the reasons and solutions for a car ignition lock that won't turn: 1. Cause Analysis: There is an ignition switch assembly on the steering wheel, with one half being the lock cylinder and the other half being the base. If the base lacks lubrication, you can try spraying it with dashboard wax. 2. The lock cylinder won't turn mainly due to key wear. Over time, the key becomes smaller than its original size. Normally, when the key is inserted, the pins in the lock cylinder should drop, aligning all parts on the same plane, allowing the lock cylinder to turn. When the key is removed, the pins pop up, preventing the lock cylinder from turning. 3. When the key wears to a certain extent, inserting it won't fully drop the pins in the lock cylinder, causing misalignment and preventing the lock cylinder from turning. 4. The most effective solution is to find a professional to create a slightly larger key based on the worn-out key.

What Are the Hazards of Replacing Car Springs with Higher Ones?

The hazards of replacing car springs with higher ones are as follows: 1. After replacing the car springs with higher ones, when the pressure increases to a certain extent, the thicker part of the spring is used to support the body, which will increase the car's ground clearance. However, the comfort and stability during high-speed cornering will deteriorate. 2. After replacing the car springs with higher ones, the tire pressure decreases, and the contact area between the tires and the ground increases. When the tire wear becomes severe, issues such as increased fuel consumption and shock absorber oil leakage may occur. 3. Replacing car springs with higher ones involves raising the car's body. If the modification technique is not done properly, it will seriously affect the car's lifespan and may even lead to some safety accidents.

How to Handle Traffic Jams on a Slope with an Automatic Transmission

When encountering a traffic jam on an uphill slope with an automatic transmission, the most important thing is to control the brake properly. Here are the specific instructions: 1. Since automatic transmission models use the same pedal to control idle speed and braking, it is particularly important to manage the brake pedal effectively on an uphill slope. In case of a traffic jam on a slope, you can gradually release the brake pedal to allow the car to creep forward at idle speed. Since the vehicle is on an uphill slope, the idle speed will be slower than on flat ground, so be patient and wait for the idle speed to increase. 2. If the slope is relatively steep, the vehicle's idle speed might not be sufficient, leading to the car rolling backward. In this situation, you should gently press the accelerator pedal when releasing the brake to help the car move forward as much as possible. However, avoid pressing too hard to prevent the car from suddenly jerking forward.

Which Cars Have Plastic Fenders?

Many cars have fenders made of plastic material. Here are some introductions about fenders: 1. The advantage of plastic fenders is that they can reduce repair costs and also help to reduce the weight of the front end. 2. Most cars have front-mounted engines, so a significant portion of the weight is concentrated in the front. Having too much weight in the front is not ideal, which is why some manufacturers try various methods to reduce the front-end weight. 3. To reduce the front-end weight, some models even use special materials for the front fenders and engine hood. 4. Some high-performance cars even use carbon fiber for the engine hood to further reduce the front-end weight.

How long is the Audi A4L in meters?

The Audi A4L has a body length of 4818mm and a width of 1843mm, providing multi-dimensional comfort for every passenger while also balancing driving pleasure and ride comfort, ensuring that occupants can enjoy themselves at all times. Below is a detailed introduction to the Audi A4L: 1. The Audi A4L is a car model officially released by Audi on November 16, 2008. The new Audi A4L features a completely new exterior and chassis design, with the front and rear resembling the Audi A5. 2. It boasts a stylish and dynamic exterior with smooth lines; the interior craftsmanship is refined, with excellent configurations; the sound system is impressive; the spacious and practical interior offers great comfort; and the brand is iconic. Since many components in the redesigned chassis are made of aluminum, the chassis strength is enhanced while the weight is reduced. 3. The rear features smooth, full, and rounded lines, with a slightly upward-curved trunk lid design that stabilizes airflow at the rear during high-speed driving. The polygonal taillights on both sides extend inward, and the taillight clusters use conventional components instead of the currently popular LED bulbs. 4. The fully enclosed race-grade chassis minimizes disruptive airflow from beneath the car, improving both traction and comfort whether driving at low or high speeds.

What is the Difference Between Summer and Winter Engine Oil?

Summer engine oil is thicker with better adhesion, which is beneficial for lubrication; winter engine oil is easier to start and has better fluidity. Below is an introduction to engine oil: 1. The effectiveness of engine oil depends on an important characteristic—viscosity. Only when the oil has viscosity characteristics can it provide a protective film for various engine components. 2. Generally, viscosity refers to the physical property of the oil (while the viscosity index is a physicochemical indicator of the base oil), which originally means the degree of difficulty in the flow of fluids or semi-fluids, commonly referred to as 'thick' or 'thin.' Higher viscosity results in slower flow. 3. SAE classifies engine oil into two main categories based on viscosity grade: single-grade viscosity type and multi-grade viscosity type. The single-grade viscosity type is further divided into high-temperature environment-specific and low-temperature environment-specific types.
