Method to reset the maintenance reminder on the car dashboard: Turn on the power, press the mileage reset button on the dashboard, wait for the flashing reminder to disappear, start the engine, and then repeat the operation once. Car maintenance refers to the process of providing comprehensive care to a vehicle by using specialized care materials and products tailored to the different materials required by various parts of the vehicle. Today's car maintenance covers areas such as the engine, transmission, chassis, cooling system, and fuel system. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, and extend the service life. When performing maintenance on a car, if any faults are found in certain parts, they should be repaired promptly.

The other day, a small wrench icon popped up on my car's dashboard as a maintenance reminder. I cleared it myself, and the process was actually quite simple. The method is similar for most cars: first, turn off the engine, then turn the key to the 'on' position without starting the engine. Next, locate the reset button on the dashboard—some cars have a small black stick on the left or right side of the steering wheel—hold it down without releasing. Watch the dashboard screen; it will either flash or display a menu. Keep holding the button until the maintenance reset option appears, then confirm. After that, the warning light will turn off. However, the procedure may vary by car model. My Japanese car worked this way, while American cars sometimes require pressing a combination of buttons a few more times. Remember, after resetting, don't rush into a long trip—it's best to visit a maintenance shop soon to check the oil and filters. The reminder is just a prompt; the actual condition of the car still needs proper maintenance.

Does the new Sagitar require pressing the auto hold button every time?

The new Sagitar does not require pressing the auto hold button every time. Auto hold, also known as AUTOHOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. The function of auto hold: After activating the auto hold function, the car can brake automatically, such as when stopping at a red light. This is equivalent to not needing to pull the handbrake, avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic handbrake, thereby simplifying the driver's operations. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent switching between D to N or D to P. How to use auto hold: With the seatbelt fastened and the door closed, simply press the AUTOHOLD button when needed. When stopping, step on the brake, and the auto hold will activate. When starting off, shift gears, release the clutch while accelerating, and the auto hold function will automatically deactivate.

Does the new Sagitar use 0w20 engine oil?

The new Sagitar cannot use 0w20 engine oil as its viscosity is too low for the Sagitar's engine. The new Sagitar requires engine oil that meets the VW50200 specification, with the recommended original 5W-40 engine oil. The quality of the engine oil directly affects the engine's performance. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention must be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher this number, the better the oil maintains its viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the new Sagitar is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop and allow the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to ensure the engine oil level is within the standard range.
