As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I know the method to reset the maintenance light on a Cadillac XTS. The maintenance light comes on to remind you that it's time for service—don't ignore it. The reset process is simple: First, turn off the engine and return the key to the OFF position. Then, sit in the driver's seat, locate the INFO or OK button on the steering wheel, and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position (ignition) without pressing the brake to start the engine. At this point, a menu will pop up on the instrument cluster screen. Use the button to scroll down to the "Oil Life" or "Maintenance Info" option, select the reset or reset option, and hold the button to confirm for a few seconds—the light will then turn off. After resetting, promptly visit a service center to change the oil and filter, as aged engine oil can degrade performance and even cause malfunctions. I recommend performing routine maintenance every 5,000 kilometers to prevent major issues, and more frequent checks as the car ages. Remember, resetting is only a temporary solution to the reminder—without timely maintenance, the light will soon come back on, affecting driving safety.

What Causes Vehicle Body Vibration During High-Speed Braking?

High-speed braking-induced vehicle body vibration can be attributed to the following causes: 1. Uneven brake disc surfaces with excessive radial runout: This creates inconsistent contact between brake pads and discs, resulting in fluctuating braking force that manifests as body vibration, particularly noticeable during light braking. 2. Significant wheel alignment deviations: Incorrect front wheel alignment angles or excessive toe-in can make the vehicle difficult to control during acceleration, though the vibration is typically mild. 3. Improper tire pressure: Overinflation causes increasingly severe vibration at higher speeds, while underinflation leads to both vibration and steering pull.

What maintenance should be done for a car at 50,000 kilometers?

Car maintenance items at 50,000 kilometers are introduced as follows: 1. Replace engine oil and filter: Generally, manufacturers recommend replacing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers or six months. When replacing the engine oil, the oil filter must be replaced at the same time, otherwise it will affect the quality of the lubricating oil. 2. Check and replace brake pads: During inspection, it should be noted that the thickness of new brake pads is generally about 1.5cm. If the brake pads are worn to only about 0.3cm thick, they need to be replaced in time. 3. Check and replace spark plugs: If there is carbon deposit or black oil stains on the spark plugs, they should be cleaned, and replaced if necessary.

What causes abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel of a car?

The abnormal noise from the car's steering wheel can be attributed to three main reasons: 1. Friction noise from the steering wheel horn electrode: This is common in cars without airbags and only a horn button on the steering wheel. Since the horn switch rotates with the steering wheel while the connecting wire beneath it remains stationary, the wire can easily break when turning the steering wheel if it's still connected by wires. 2. Excessive play in the universal drive assembly: There is a universal joint at the front end of the steering column. Lack of lubrication or increased play in the universal joint can cause abnormal noise, requiring lubrication of the universal joint. 3. Noise from the steering wheel return lever: The turn signal has an automatic return function. When the turn signal is on and the steering wheel is turned, the steering column hitting the return lever produces noise, which is not a malfunction.

How to Use the Mercedes-Benz Headlight Cleaning Function?

To use the headlight cleaning function in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle: With the headlights turned on, press the windshield cleaning button five times consecutively. Here is an introduction to the headlight cleaning device: 1. The headlight cleaning device refers to a water outlet located below the headlights, which can clean dust and dirt from the headlights at any time. This feature is generally available in more high-end models. 2. During nighttime or low-light driving, rain and dust can reduce the illumination of the headlights by up to 90%, severely affecting the driver's visibility. This poses a significant safety hazard. Ensuring sufficient headlight illumination and providing the driver with clear visibility becomes a critical issue that needs to be addressed in such situations. 3. The headlight cleaning device offers a simple and effective solution to this problem. Many countries now have laws requiring vehicles to be equipped with a headlight cleaning system. Headlight cleaning devices typically use high-pressure spray washing, and the cleaning effectiveness mainly depends on the distance between the nozzle and the lens, the size of the water droplets, the contact angle, the spray speed, and the amount of water sprayed.
