As a car enthusiast, I always reset the maintenance light myself when it comes on. The method is simple: after getting in the car, turn the key to the 'on' position (don't start the engine), wait for the dashboard to light up, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the 'Oil Life' option, then press and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds until the light turns off. This process saves time and money by avoiding trips to the dealership. After resetting, remember to change the oil and oil filter regularly—don't procrastinate, or the car will wear out faster, and you might end up stranded. Safety comes first when driving, and proper maintenance can keep your Malibu running for years. I always make time on weekends to check my car's condition, and since making it a habit, I've had far fewer issues.

How to check if the radiator is low on water in the new Sylphy?

Methods to check if the radiator is low on water in the new Sylphy: 1. Observe the coolant warning light on the car dashboard. If it lights up, it indicates that the radiator is low on water. 2. Open the engine compartment when the car is cold and check if the coolant level is sufficient. There are MAX and MIN level marks on the side of the coolant reservoir. If the level is below the MIN mark when the car is cold, add coolant accordingly, using the marks on the reservoir as a guide. Here are some related details: 1. The car engine must be properly cooled in high-temperature working conditions to maintain an optimal operating temperature, ensuring good performance, durability, and meeting exhaust emission requirements. 2. The water in the car radiator should generally be replaced every two years or every 30,000-40,000 kilometers. Vehicles with high usage frequency should consider replacing it earlier. During the period before the antifreeze coolant is due for replacement, if the coolant level is found to be below the MIN mark (the normal coolant level should be between MIN and MAX), it should be replenished promptly.
