I've been driving my Volkswagen for many years, and every time the maintenance light comes on, I manually reset it. The steps are actually quite simple. First, park the car in a safe place and turn off the engine. Find the small button on the dashboard, usually located near the speedometer. Then, press and hold the button while turning the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Wait for about 15 seconds, and the light will blink and then go off. Keep holding the button during this time. Once done, release the button and turn off the key. I should remind you that the maintenance light is a good thing—it's telling you it's time for an oil change or inspection. Ignoring it for too long could damage the engine. Getting regular professional maintenance at the dealership is more worry-free. For example, I take my car in every six months, and it runs smoothly and efficiently.

Can You Turn on the Wiper When It Snows?

If there is ice on the windshield or the snow is too thick, it is recommended that the owner does not use the wiper. When parking, it is a good choice to lift the wiper up, which can prevent the wiper from being frozen by snow and frost. Rubber has a certain temperature range for use. If the wiper is frozen by snow and frost for a long time, it will reduce the service life of the wiper, and the wiping effect will also be affected to a certain extent. There are five common wiper gears: MISI, OFF, INT, LO, and HI. MISI stands for a single wipe, OFF means turning off, and LO and HI indicate low-frequency and high-frequency wiping, respectively. Do not turn on the wiper directly without spraying windshield washer fluid. If the front windshield is too dirty, it is best to gently clean the dirt on the windshield with a dry cloth first.

These signals are sent to the electronic control unit via the data bus, and the electronic control unit will issue action commands to the motor controller based on the transmitted torque, intended direction of rotation, and other data signals. The motor will then output the corresponding magnitude of rotational torque as needed.
