I'm a seasoned driver of the SWM G05. I remember after the last maintenance, that little wrench icon on the dashboard was still flashing, which was quite annoying. Actually, it's super easy to reset. First, sit in the car, turn off the engine but don’t remove the key. Press and hold the small button on the right side of the dashboard—usually labeled 'TRIP' or 'RESET'—and while holding it, turn the key to the ON position (the position where the car is powered but the engine isn’t started). Keep it like that for about 5-6 seconds, and the symbol should disappear. If it doesn’t work, maybe the button position is wrong—try again or check the manual. This is just a maintenance reminder, and if you don’t reset it after maintenance, it might distract you while driving. So, deal with it promptly—don’t ignore the flashing wrench, or you might miss a real issue. Get familiar with your dashboard controls to avoid being bothered by these small things. Develop good habits!

What kind of oil should be added to the transmission?

Transmissions require specialized transmission oil, also known as gear oil. The differences between gear oil and engine oil are as follows: 1. Different environments: Gear oil, or transmission oil, is specifically designed for use in transmissions. It is a type of transmission lubricant used for lubricating various gears in transmissions, reducers, and differentials, operating in relatively low-temperature environments. Engine oil, or engine lubricant, is used inside the engine to lubricate internal components, enduring long-term high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, requiring higher oxidation resistance and stronger shear resistance. 2. Different functions: Both have lubricating properties. Gear oil prevents wear and sintering on gear surfaces, extends service life, and improves power transmission efficiency. Engine oil serves to clean, lubricate, and cool the internal components of the engine.

What Type of Strobe Lights Are Not Illegal?

Strobe lights are all illegal. Privately installing strobe lights on vehicles, regardless of the type, is considered illegal. Strobe lights, due to their strong and rapidly flashing light, can interfere with the normal driving of other vehicles and pose a safety hazard. Strobe lights use electronic means (such as programming ICs with capacitors or microcontrollers) to make the light source flash slowly or quickly, serving as a warning. Previously, strobe lights were mainly used on police or special vehicles and were rarely used by civilians. These police strobe lights are regulated items and are widely used in entertainment venues, road traffic, advertising lighting, vehicles and ships, public security, and other fields. While installing such strobe lights is permitted under national traffic laws, they cannot be used in areas explicitly prohibited by national or city regulations. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," installing strobe lights on private vehicles is not only illegal, but traffic police departments are also required to forcibly remove them and impose corresponding fines for modifications. Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated markings and equipped with alarms and lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using the specific markings and lights designated for these vehicles.

How to Handle Recalled Vehicles?

After a vehicle is recalled, it will undergo a series of inspections and repairs until there are no related safety issues or non-compliant equipment. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Introduction to the vehicle recall system: The vehicle recall system refers to the process where vehicles already on the market are found to have defects due to design or manufacturing issues, which do not comply with relevant regulations and standards, potentially leading to safety and environmental problems. 2. Manufacturer's actions after a recall: The manufacturer must promptly report the product issues, causes, and improvement measures to the relevant national authorities, submit a recall application, and, upon approval, modify the vehicles in use to eliminate potential hazards. The manufacturer is also obligated to keep users informed about the situation, which is crucial for protecting consumers' legitimate rights and interests.

How to Handle Traffic Violations for Out-of-Town Vehicles in Beijing?

Out-of-town vehicles with traffic violations in Beijing can be directly handled by the local traffic police department, without the need to return to the vehicle's registered location for processing. When going to handle the violation, you need to bring your ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and the penalty notice to the local traffic police detachment or brigade to process the violation. Methods for handling out-of-town traffic violations: 1. Local Traffic Police Department: If the province where you are located and the province where the violation occurred have interconnected traffic information, you can directly handle the violation at the local traffic police department in your province, without needing to return to the traffic police department where the violation occurred. 2. Online Processing: If the traffic information between the two provinces is not interconnected, you can try to check online. If the violation can be found, you can directly pay the fine and deduct points online. 3. Proxy by a Friend in Another Province: You can ask a friend in another province to help handle the violation. To process it, you need to send the penalty notice, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, ID card, and copies to your friend in another province. 4. Postal Service: You can also go to a postal service office that handles out-of-town traffic violation fines to process the payment. However, currently, postal services can only handle violations with fines. If there are points to be deducted, the postal service cannot be used. 5. Local Relevant Agencies: Finally, you can contact a violation processing agency, which requires paying a certain fee. You can contact such agencies as needed. It is advisable to find some formal agencies to help with the process to avoid unnecessary disputes.

What Causes Gear Shift Impact in Automatic Transmissions?

There are several possible reasons for gear shift impact in automatic transmissions: 1. Burnt clutch plates in the transmission (with a burnt smell). 2. Fault codes appearing in the transmission system (repairs can be made based on the fault code prompts). 3. Sticking of internal valve bodies in the oil control plate. 4. Presence of impurities in the oil passages, causing delays in the automatic transmission control valve and resulting in gear shift impact. 5. Insufficient transmission fluid level. Below are some maintenance tips for automatic transmissions: 1. Regularly check the automatic transmission fluid level to ensure it is normal. 2. Be aware of the replacement cycle for automatic transmission fluid. 3. Replace the transmission fluid correctly.

What could be the issue if the car key buttons are not responding?

It could be due to a dead battery. Other possible reasons include nearby radio frequency interference, interference from theft devices, or decoding. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Mechanism of action: The remote key operates through a wireless communication system consisting of a transmitter and receiver, which is a low-power radio device. The car's control system identifies the signal code via the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). 2. Signal interference: When the radio frequency band used by the car remote key (314-316MHz, 430-432MHz, 433-434.79MHz) coincides with the frequency band occupied by some devices in the parking location, it is prone to interference, leading to the remote key's "failure."
