Turn off the ignition, press and hold the 0.0 button at the lower right corner of the instrument panel. Turn on the ignition, you will notice the maintenance indicator wrench symbol on the instrument panel stops blinking. At this point, release the 0.0 button and press the button at the lower left corner. The wrench symbol will disappear from the instrument panel, indicating the maintenance light has been successfully reset. Below is additional information about maintenance lights: 1. The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to notify the owner when scheduled maintenance is due based on mileage or time intervals. It appears as an indicator light or message on the instrument panel or screen. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder after completing the required maintenance, essentially resetting the notification. 2. The most crucial function of the maintenance reminder is to alert owners about upcoming service dates, helping them avoid potential accidents caused by neglected maintenance. Regular maintenance also extends the vehicle's service life. 3. Routine maintenance involves not just oil and filter changes, but also inspections of critical components such as brake pads and tires to prevent excessive wear that could lead to accidents.

What should I pay attention to with a newly obtained driver's license?

Here are the precautions for newly licensed drivers: 1. Obey traffic regulations, avoid excessive speed, and minimize penalty points and fines for violations; 2. Do not drive alone on highways—ensure an experienced driver accompanies you; 3. Affix or display a standardized probationary driver sign at the rear of the vehicle; 4. For a Class C license, a maximum of 11 points can be deducted—accumulating 12 points will result in license revocation.

Additional information: The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially applies for a license or adds a new vehicle class is the probationary period.

How to Determine If a Car Bearing Is Broken?

Methods to determine if a car bearing is broken are as follows: 1. If the bearing is damaged, the car will emit a continuous buzzing sound, similar to the sound of metal rubbing. 2. If you suspect the noise is coming from outside, you can roll down the window and listen again. The car body will vibrate, and the faster the speed, the more intense the vibration. Increase the speed to a certain level, then let the car coast in neutral. 3. If the buzzing sound remains unchanged, it can be concluded that the car's bearing is damaged, and the faster the speed, the louder the sound. More relevant information is as follows: When driving at higher speeds, you can feel a fine vibration under your feet. You can also drive the car for a while and then touch the tire with your hand. If the temperature at the wheel bearing position is significantly higher than normal, it can be determined that the car's bearing is damaged.

What is the reason for the etcpwr light to be on?

etcpwr light is on for the following reasons: 1. etcpwr is a switch for the transmission's electronic control mode (sport mode), and the light being on indicates that this mode is activated. 2. When this switch is turned on, the transmission mode will switch to sport mode. In this mode, the transmission will downshift more frequently and responsively. Additionally, since the gear range is limited to lower gears, the engine's RPM will increase, torque output will be enhanced, and the vehicle's performance will be significantly improved. However, fuel consumption will also increase accordingly. The method to turn off the etcpwr light is: Locate the button with the etcpwr abbreviation near the transmission gear lever or gear shift switch, press it once, and the light on the instrument panel will turn off, and the function will be deactivated.
