Refer to the vehicle manual, when the car is not started, press the mileage reset button, start the engine, and release the button after the maintenance indicator disappears. Display the instantaneous fuel consumption, turn off the ignition, press the mode button, then turn on the ignition, and simultaneously press the mode and time adjustment buttons to remove the small wrench indicator.

Resetting the maintenance light on the 2020 Buick GL8 is actually quite simple. Having driven this car for several years, I'll share my method: First, turn the key to the OFF position to completely shut off the engine. Then locate the Trip or Reset button on the dashboard, which is likely near the steering wheel. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and hold down that button without releasing it for about 10-15 seconds. The maintenance light on the dashboard will then flash or turn off, indicating a successful reset. Remember to perform this only after each maintenance service, such as after an oil and filter change, to prevent false alerts from the vehicle. If the button isn't obvious, check the owner's manual for illustrations. Resetting promptly after maintenance helps track the next service interval—especially important for high-use commercial vehicles like the GL8 to avoid engine wear. I've tried this method several times with high success rates. If issues arise, it might be due to poor button contact—try pressing it a few more times or cleaning off any dust. Regular maintenance can save you from major repair costs, especially before long trips. Resetting the light may seem minor, but it's important.

What are the steps for a four-wheel alignment?

The steps for a four-wheel alignment: 1. Drive the vehicle onto the four-post alignment lift and check the tire pressure and vehicle height; 2. After lifting all four wheels off the ground, inspect the tires for irregular wear or deformation. If the wear meets the standard, measure whether the steering ball joints are loose and check if the lengths of the left and right tie rods are consistent; 3. Inspect the upper and lower suspension, stabilizer bar, subframe, and chassis for deformation or looseness; 4. Check the rear axle, lateral assist rod, and rear tie rod for deformation and whether the rubber bushings are loose; 5. If no abnormalities are found, lower the vehicle and shake it several times to confirm the suspension system is in normal condition, then remove the four-wheel alignment locking pins.

What Causes an Audi to Shake While Idling in Place?

Here are the specific reasons why an Audi may shake while idling in place: Unstable oil pressure: Abnormal fuel pump supply pressure or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor can cause the vehicle to shake. Owners should remember to check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary. Issues with the shock absorption system: Engine mounts act as the shock absorption system for the engine. If there are problems with the engine mounts, vibrations can transfer to the steering wheel and the interior of the vehicle, causing shaking during idle. Severe engine carbon buildup: After driving a certain number of kilometers, a dirty throttle body may not close properly or the idle motor may get stuck, leading to high engine idle speeds. The carbon deposits generated during this process can cause the vehicle to shake.

Are car fire extinguishers included with new vehicles?

It is understood that when consumers purchase new cars, some 4S stores will provide fire extinguishers as a complimentary item, but many 4S stores do not include them. "Our store does not provide fire extinguishers to car owners; they need to purchase them themselves. Regarding whether cars should be equipped with fire extinguishers, relevant personnel stated that car spontaneous combustion can occur at any time, and car owners should still equip their vehicles with fire extinguishers for emergencies. It is known that most fire extinguishers currently on the market are dry powder types, with a shelf life of 36 months. Additionally, since fire extinguishers can only suppress initial fire sources, when car owners discover spontaneous combustion, they must quickly locate the ignition point to extinguish it. In this regard, professionals have stated that prevention is better than cure, and it is advisable to keep one or two fire extinguishers in the cabin to handle fire sources promptly.
