You can drive when the car maintenance light is on, but you should get maintenance done as soon as possible. Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other maintenance scopes. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service cycle. Changing the engine oil is a common maintenance item. The engine oil mainly plays a lubricating role, and because it has a lifespan, it needs to be replaced regularly. The oil filter, also known as the oil purifier, functions to remove various impurities from the engine oil and ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced together with the engine oil during an oil change.

What to Do When the Civic's Parking Brake System Warning Light Comes On?

The issue is caused by a malfunction in the vehicle's handbrake. You need to promptly visit the car's 4S shop or a repair shop to have the handbrake fixed, which will resolve the problem. The handbrake warning light serves as a fault indicator. Once it illuminates, it signifies an abnormality in the vehicle's braking system, alerting the driver to inspect the braking system. It's also necessary to rule out whether the handbrake has been released. This possibility exists as well—some drivers may forget to release the handbrake or may not have fully disengaged it, causing the handbrake light to come on.

How to Check if a Car is Mortgaged?

Check the motor vehicle registration certificate. When purchasing a vehicle, there is always a motor vehicle registration certificate. Examine the status on the motor vehicle registration certificate to see if there is a "mortgage" notation. Inquire at the vehicle management department. The owner must go in person. If it is a used car, the original owner must accompany you to make the inquiry. Check with the insurance company. The status of the car affects the beneficiary of the car insurance. If it is a mortgage loan, the beneficiary is the bank. Inquire at the traffic police department. If it shows "mortgage," it means the car is mortgaged. If it shows "normal," then it is not a mortgaged vehicle.
