I'm still driving my 2011 Lavida, and the maintenance light coming on is always annoying. Last time, I tried resetting it myself. The first step is to turn off the engine completely. The second step is to locate the small button on the dashboard, usually the one labeled 'reset' or 'trip' on the left side. The third step is to hold down that button while turning the key to the ON position, but don't start the engine. The fourth step is to wait for about ten seconds until the maintenance light starts flashing, then release the button. After completing these steps, the light went off, but it didn't work the first time because I didn't press the button firmly enough. Remember, resetting it regularly ensures the light properly reminds you of the next maintenance without randomly staying on and distracting you while driving. Just don't do it while driving to avoid any dangerous distractions. Figuring it out myself saved me a trip to the mechanic, which is pretty handy.

As a hands-on car enthusiast, I often help friends with maintenance light reset procedures. The steps for the 2011 Lavida are straightforward. First, turn off the ignition, then press the reset button on the instrument cluster, usually located below the center console. Next, turn the key to the accessory position without starting the engine, and hold the button down. Wait a moment until the light goes out before releasing. The whole process takes no more than half a minute. I recommend ensuring the car is parked on level ground and that the key battery isn't too weak to affect the operation. This accurately resets the maintenance reminder system, preventing the light from constantly popping up and distracting you. Timely resetting after maintenance is useful for monitoring vehicle condition. Once you do it yourself, you won't have to worry about this issue anymore. It's a simple yet practical trick worth sharing.

How to Turn Off the Light Under the Rearview Mirror?

The small light on the exterior rearview mirror is a turn signal, which can be turned off using the light control switch. Some lights under the rearview mirror are clearance lights, which are automatically illuminated and cannot be manually turned off. If the windows are not closed when the car is locked, the small lights under both rearview mirrors will remain on and will automatically turn off within 30 seconds to one minute after unlocking the car. Below is additional information about clearance lights: 1. Clearance lights, where "clearance" means warning and "light" refers to outline, are warning lights used to alert other vehicles. Installed under the car's rearview mirror, they indicate both the height and width of the vehicle. 2. Installation should be as close as possible to the outer edge of the vehicle. When the distance from the point on the visible surface farthest from the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane in the reference axis direction to the vehicle's outer edge does not exceed 400mm, this requirement is met. Without changing the existing connection method, adding a red light distribution surface to the back of the front clearance light can enhance the functionality of the rear clearance light.

What Causes Engine Shaking During Ignition in Small Cars

Engine shaking during ignition in cars may be attributed to the following two reasons: 1. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors can cause shaking. After a certain mileage, a dirty throttle body can lead to incomplete closure or idle stepper motor sticking, both of which can result in excessively high engine idle speed. Additionally, carbon deposits generated during engine operation can also cause vehicle shaking, especially during startup when the engine shakes more noticeably than usual, sometimes even failing to start on the first attempt. When experiencing vehicle shaking, the first step is to inspect the throttle body and fuel injectors. If excessive dirt or carbon buildup is found, immediate cleaning is recommended. 2. Worn engine mounts can also cause shaking. Car shaking may sometimes be related to aging engine mounts. Engine mounts essentially serve as the engine's vibration damping system, absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts malfunction, these vibrations can transfer to the steering wheel and cabin, causing noticeable shaking during idle.
