I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years, and turning off the maintenance reminder isn't too difficult. First, park the car, turn off the engine, and don't start it. Hold down the reset button on the dashboard. Then turn the key to the ON position (just power on without starting the engine), continue holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds until the maintenance light goes off. Regular maintenance is crucial—changing the oil and filters on schedule can extend the engine's lifespan. Don't ignore the reminder out of laziness, or you might face issues like increased carbon buildup or higher fuel consumption. If the button doesn't respond, check the vehicle manual instead of forcing it, as the procedure might vary slightly depending on the Lavida model. Make it a habit to reset the reminder after each service to avoid unnecessary alerts next time. Doing it yourself saves time and helps you learn more about your car.

Is It Normal for the Car Temperature Gauge to Be at Half?

It is normal for the car temperature gauge to reach the halfway point. Generally, when the car engine is operating, the water temperature fluctuates between 85-100 degrees Celsius. Below is some related knowledge about the water temperature when the car's air conditioning is on: Water Temperature: The water temperature gauge ranges from C to H, where C represents 60 degrees Celsius. As long as the needle points to C, it indicates the water temperature has reached 60 degrees. The red H mark represents 110 degrees Celsius, and the span from 60 to 110 degrees allows estimation of the temperature indicated by the gauge. Precautions: Turning on the air conditioning can cause the water temperature to rise because the engine idling automatically increases, generating more heat and making it harder for the car to cool down. This happens when the fan's cooling speed is insufficient, but most cars won't experience this issue due to the presence of a temperature-controlled fan. Prolonged high water temperature can reduce the lubrication of engine oil, leading to wear and tear on internal engine components.

Why can't the brake pedal be pressed down when starting the car?

The reasons why the brake pedal cannot be pressed down when starting the car include a faulty vacuum booster pump, stepping on the brake after the engine is turned off, and lack of maintenance of the brake system. Faulty vacuum booster pump: The force applied to the brake pedal is amplified by the brake booster pump. If it fails, the brake loses its main power source, making it impossible to press down. In this case, immediate repair or replacement is required. Stepping on the brake after the engine is turned off: This is also related to the brake booster pump. The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies solely on the residual vacuum, which typically allows only a few presses before becoming ineffective. In this situation, a short wait is sufficient. Lack of maintenance of the brake system: Too much debris in the master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, dirty brake fluid or mixing different types of brake fluid causing vapor lock when heated, leakage in the master or wheel cylinders, or leaks in the air reservoir or pipe connections. In this case, maintenance at a 4S shop is necessary.
