First, use the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to select the oil life in the driver information center. Then, press and hold the selection button 'sel' for a few seconds to reset the maintenance information, setting the engine oil life back to 100%. This completes the maintenance reset operation. Below is additional information: Maintenance Light: The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to alert the vehicle owner to perform maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals. It appears in the form of a dashboard or screen message or indicator light. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder information after maintenance is completed, effectively resetting the information.

As a seasoned driver, here's a universal method: Start the engine, shift to P gear, and repeatedly press the downward arrow on the right side of the steering wheel until the dashboard displays the 'Oil Life' percentage. Then, hold the triangular arrow button for 10 seconds until the screen shows 'Reset?' and release. Use the up and down arrows to select 'Confirm,' wait for 5 seconds, and it's done. For some models, you need to press the accelerator pedal firmly three times, then press the ignition button twice, and wait until all dashboard lights finish flashing. If the reset fails, you'll need to enter the engineering mode by holding the menu button for 30 seconds without releasing until the English menu appears. Resetting older Cadillac models is that hardcore—experienced drivers can do it in 3 minutes, but beginners are advised to check the manual and avoid random button presses.

Last time at the 4S dealership, I learned a button combination method: Start the car without pressing the brake, press the ignition button twice, then immediately press the accelerator pedal to the floor three times. Don't release your foot! Then quickly turn the headlights on and off five times. When you see the wrench icon flash, the reset is successful. This method works particularly well for pre-2016 ATS/XTS models. For vehicles with mechanical instrument clusters, simply locate the 'INFO' button on the steering wheel, switch to the maintenance page, and long-press the √ button. Remember to turn off and restart the car to check the results. If it doesn't work, go to the central control settings to find the vehicle maintenance option for a reset. Tire pressure calibration and headlight height adjustment are also on this page, so it's a good idea to check them while you're at it.

New owners, pay attention: The touchscreen version is the simplest! After ignition, locate the 'Settings' gear icon on the central console, enter 'Vehicle,' and select 'Oil Life.' Be quick when clicking reset, as the system will pop up a secondary confirmation window. Some models may require entering a four-digit PIN code (default 0000) after resetting—owners who changed the password need to check their notes. For models with Super Cruise, a road test is recommended after resetting to calibrate the system. The digital instrument cluster version allows direct voice command: 'Hello Cadillac, reset maintenance reminder,' with a recognition success rate of about 70%. Remember to regularly check the air filter—a dirty one can harm your car more than expired oil.

What model is keyis?

keyis is not a car model, but a brand of steering wheels specifically designed for competitive racing. Many professional drivers modify their cars with this steering wheel for track driving. It is a quick-release steering wheel made for racing cars. Since steering wheel modifications are universal, any steering wheel that fits the base can be installed. The method for modifying the steering wheel: first, remove the original steering wheel, disconnect the wiring, and finally install the modified steering wheel. Traffic laws do not prohibit modifying the steering wheel, and other modifications like suspension and brakes are also allowed without legal restrictions. However, it is advised not to modify the steering wheel as the modified version lacks features like a horn and airbag, which can impact driving safety.

What are the reasons why the key of a manual transmission car cannot be pulled out?

The reasons why the key of a manual transmission car cannot be pulled out are: 1. The ignition switch is faulty or the steering wheel is stuck to the left or right, blocking the locking tongue of the ignition switch; 2. The steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when parking, causing abnormal locking of the steering wheel. The solutions are: 1. Check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot and remove them; 2. Start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned to its position, and then the key can be pulled out. A manual transmission (MT) requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever to change the gear meshing device inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. Its working principle: By using the shift fork to change the transmission ratio (gear ratio) of the meshing gears, the driving torque is adjusted to suit different operating conditions.

Can I Claim Insurance for a Cracked Windshield?

You can claim insurance for a cracked windshield, but only if you have purchased the separate glass breakage insurance. The insurance company will then compensate according to the terms of the contract. Additionally, if the vehicle owner has purchased comprehensive car insurance but not the glass insurance, and the windshield is damaged due to a traffic accident with other parts of the vehicle also affected, the insurance company is required to cover the compensation. The separate glass breakage insurance is an additional coverage under car insurance, which covers damages only to the windshield and window glass (excluding headlights and mirror glass). For vehicles insured with this coverage, if the glass is broken independently, the insurer will calculate the compensation based on the actual loss.

What to Do When the Car Battery Burns Out?

Solutions for a burnt car battery: 1. Remove the battery, charge it once with a charger, clean the rust at the connection points, and reinstall the battery; 2. Use a multimeter to measure the contact resistance of the battery terminals. If it exceeds 100 milliohms, the contact resistance is too high—either replace or clean the terminals. If not, the battery must be replaced. Reasons for a burnt car battery include: 1. Short circuit: The car has many complex electronic components and circuits. A short circuit can damage these components and also cause the battery to burn out; 2. Overcharging: Most battery damage is caused by prolonged overcharging; 3. Electrolyte loss: The battery contains electrolyte. Leakage indicates the need for immediate replacement to prevent damage to other circuits; 4. Complete discharge: Repeated and prolonged complete discharges accelerate battery aging and shorten its lifespan.
