Method to remove the maintenance reminder on Volkswagen Lavida: Turn the ignition key to the 'on' position with your right hand (do not start the engine), press and hold the reset button on the right side with your left hand, then turn off the ignition key. Wait until the instrument cluster screen goes completely black, then turn the ignition key back to the 'on' position. Keep holding the reset button until the maintenance reminder disappears automatically. At this point, turn off the ignition key and restart the car, and the maintenance reminder will no longer appear. The purpose of the maintenance reminder light is to prompt the owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible. The owner should promptly take the car to a 4S shop for maintenance. After the maintenance is completed, the 4S shop will use a diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance reminder light. The Volkswagen Lavida is the first A-class car independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen. While continuing the 'dynamic and stylish' design of the A-class car market, it also embodies 'integration.'

I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years, and as a tech enthusiast, I'm well-versed in the details of removing the maintenance reminder. First, insert the key and turn it to the ACC position without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the 0.0 button on the dashboard for about 10 seconds until the service menu appears. Use the steering wheel buttons to select the reset option and confirm. There are slight variations in the procedure for different model years; for example, the 2015 model may require a long press of the SET button in addition. Actually, the maintenance reminder is a well-intentioned prompt to change the oil, check the brakes, etc. After resetting, don't forget to actually perform the maintenance to avoid safety hazards. Regular vehicle maintenance can reduce malfunctions and improve fuel efficiency. I share these experiences in owner groups to help everyone out.

What are the free items for a car's first maintenance?

New car first maintenance items generally include changing the engine oil and oil filter. The first maintenance is usually scheduled at 5,000 kilometers or within 6 months, whichever comes first in terms of mileage or time. Since there is a period from the factory to the owner's hands, the engine oil can deteriorate over time, so early maintenance is required. Generally, 4S stores provide free first maintenance. Here are the relevant details: 1. Time for first maintenance: Excluding waiting time in line, normal first maintenance takes about one to two hours. 2. General maintenance items: Common maintenance items for vehicles include engine oil, oil filter, transmission oil, spark plugs, air conditioning filter, air filter, fuel filter, and brake fluid—eight items in total. The air filter and air conditioning filter can be replaced as needed based on usage. They can also be purchased online and replaced by yourself to save some costs.

The Pros and Cons of Paint Coating for Cars

The benefits of paint coating include scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, no cracking, easy cleaning, anti-static, etc.; the disadvantages are high cost and long construction time. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Reduced car washing costs and enhanced shine: After a car undergoes paint coating, the crystalline layer protects the car's paint surface. Light dust and small stains can usually be wiped away with a damp cloth, restoring the shine. Moreover, coated vehicles have a higher gloss than new cars, making the entire vehicle look more appealing. 2. Scratch and corrosion resistance: For coated vehicles, the hardness of the crystalline layer far exceeds that of the original car paint, making it difficult for minor scratches to cause damage. It also protects against corrosion from elements like acid rain. 3. High cost and long construction time: Paint coating is significantly more expensive than waxing or sealing, and the construction process is lengthy, usually taking up to two days to complete.

Why Does the Hazard Warning Flasher Flash When Activated?

It is normal for the hazard warning flasher to flash when activated. Below are the situations when the hazard warning flasher should be turned on: 1. When the vehicle breaks down: If the vehicle cannot be moved to a safe area in time, the hazard warning flasher should be activated immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety, and the authorities should be notified promptly while waiting for rescue. 2. Breakdown on the highway: The vehicle should be parked in the emergency stopping lane, the hazard warning flasher should be turned on immediately, and a warning sign should be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle before quickly notifying the authorities. 3. When towing a faulty vehicle: Since the vehicle is in an abnormal state, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on the hazard warning flasher simultaneously to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians. 4. Sudden heavy rain while driving: The hazard warning flasher should be activated immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety and draw attention. 5. Transporting critically ill patients: When rushing to transport critically ill patients, the headlights should be turned on immediately along with the hazard warning flasher, and the horn should be used appropriately. A clearly visible special sign should also be displayed outside the vehicle.

Can You Use 95 Octane Oil After Using 92 Octane Oil in a Car?

It is possible to use 95 octane oil after using 92 octane oil in a car, but long-term use may affect the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, and the fuel quality cannot be guaranteed. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Engine oils are categorized by quality grades: 1. Diesel engine lubricants are selected based on the combined mechanical and thermal loads of the car engine and the severity of engine operating conditions; 2. Gasoline engine oils are chosen based on the severity of engine operating conditions, additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems, and the production year.

What is the difference between a 5S and a 4S car dealership?
