Can I still drive if it shows 1N5P?

The dashboard displaying 1N5P indicates that the vehicle's maintenance cycle is due, and maintenance is required. Oil maintenance reset: For VW POLO/PASSAT oil maintenance reset, in addition to using the manufacturer's dedicated equipment for maintenance reset, it can also be completed using the reset button on the integrated dashboard. Drive directly to the 4S store: Drive directly to the 4S store to complete the vehicle maintenance and have the technician reset it. The 1N5P display on the dashboard will then disappear. The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working status of various vehicle systems, including common indicators such as the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and warning lights.
I've been driving for decades, and when the warning light comes on, you need to handle it carefully. It indicates there might be an issue with the car, such as a faulty sensor or a clogged fuel line. Continuing to drive could make things worse, like overloading the engine or breaking down halfway, which is especially dangerous on highways. Once, my neighbor ignored the light and ended up spending a fortune on transmission repairs. My advice is to pull over immediately and check the dashboard for any other warning signs. If it's not an emergency, you can drive slowly to the nearest repair shop, but avoid highways or long trips. Regular maintenance, like changing the oil and checking wiring, can reduce the chances of the light coming on. Also, be alert to similar issues like brake light failures. Safety first—don't take risks.
