You need to use a computer diagnostic tool to modify and reset the instrument panel system. Reset procedure: With the engine off, press and hold the trip odometer reset button located below the tachometer. Turn the ignition to the ON position while still holding the button, then release it. The "SERVICE" message will appear on the display. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it clockwise - the odometer reading will appear on the display. Turn off the engine to complete the reset. When you turn the ignition back to ON position, the "SERVICE" message will disappear. Additional information: The "SERVICE" indicator on the instrument panel is a maintenance reminder. When the ignition is in ON position and the "SERVICE" message flashes (disappearing after engine start), it indicates the vehicle requires maintenance. The service light should be reset after maintenance is performed.

Can a Car Be Sold and Transferred Across Provinces?

A car can be transferred across provinces. You need to go to the vehicle management office where the car was originally registered to complete the outbound transfer procedures. Then, with the relevant documents, you can proceed to the vehicle management office in the destination province to complete the transfer and registration process. Outbound Transfer Procedures: During the outbound transfer process, the original license plate and vehicle registration certificate will be confiscated, and a temporary license plate valid for 30 days will be issued. This temporary plate must be carefully preserved, as it must be surrendered when completing the inbound transfer. The transfer process legally completes the change of vehicle ownership, ensuring the legitimacy of the vehicle's origin. Legal Provisions: Article 18 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" stipulates that when the ownership of a registered motor vehicle is transferred, the new owner must apply for the transfer registration at the vehicle management office within 30 days from the date of delivery. Before applying for the transfer registration, the owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle.

Why is the car air conditioning not very cold?

Reasons why the car air conditioning is not very cold: Dirty air conditioning filter: If the filter is too dirty, it not only allows more impurities to enter the car, which is harmful to health, but the dirt can also block the air conditioning filter, reducing the flow of cold air and making it seem like the air conditioning isn't cooling. It is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter every 10,000 kilometers. This ensures both the effectiveness of the air conditioning and the health of the passengers. Insufficient or leaking refrigerant: Refrigerant, also known as Freon, is responsible for cooling. If the refrigerant is lacking or insufficient, the cooling effect of the air conditioning will inevitably decline, or it may not cool at all. The solution is simple: take the car to a repair shop to have it refilled. If the air conditioning stops cooling again within a few months after refilling (normally, refrigerant should be refilled every 2-3 years), it may indicate a problem with the sealing of the pipes, causing the refrigerant to leak too quickly. In this case, professional help from a repair shop is needed. Aging or loose belt: If you hear a "squeaking" sound when turning on the air conditioning in the car, the lack of cooling may be due to a loose compressor belt. In this situation, the belt of the air conditioning compressor needs to be tightened. Belts are made of rubber and have a limited lifespan. If they are too old and worn out, they need to be replaced. Dirty condenser: If the condenser is not cleaned regularly, various impurities can completely cover it, preventing the condenser from dissipating heat properly. This is another reason why the air conditioning may not be cooling effectively.

What gear should a manual transmission car use in the city?

A manual transmission car generally uses 3rd or 2nd gear in the city. During normal driving, the automatic transmission will automatically switch between several forward gears without requiring additional manual operation. Unnecessary shifting between gears will shorten the lifespan of the transmission. Suburban roads: There are many intersections, so be cautious of motorcycles or bicycles suddenly appearing from the sides. Avoid driving too close to the right boundary of the road and maintain a sufficient safety distance. When pedestrians (especially the elderly or children) are present, stay highly alert, maintain a safe distance, and control your speed. Urban roads: With heavy traffic and numerous traffic lights, practice courteous driving and avoid cutting lanes. First, familiarize yourself with intersections and enter the designated lane in advance. When passing stopped vehicles (especially buses), be cautious of passengers crossing the road from the front of the vehicle.

Is Summer Suitable for Waxing?

Summer is suitable for waxing. Waxing your car in summer is quite beneficial as it provides basic protection for the paintwork, and the season doesn't significantly affect the process. You can wax your car anytime, but avoid doing it under direct sunlight or, especially, during rainy days since wax is sensitive to water. If it rains after waxing or if you wash your car four times, the wax's effectiveness will diminish. For better paint protection, consider opting for paint sealing or ceramic coating. Benefits of Waxing: Heat Protection. Car wax can reflect incoming light from various angles, preventing it from penetrating the clear coat. This helps prevent the base paint from aging and discoloring, thereby extending the paint's lifespan and preventing fading. UV Protection. Similar to heat protection, UV rays from sunlight can damage the car's paint. Wax minimizes the harm caused by UV rays. Drawbacks of Waxing: Prone to Oxidation. Car wax, which uses petroleum as a solvent, is highly susceptible to oxidation. It typically starts oxidizing within about two weeks and fully oxidizes within a month, meaning it cannot provide long-term protection for the paint. Paint Wear. If the waxing is performed by an unskilled technician, it can easily leave fine circular scratches on the car's surface.

What Causes Steering Wheel Wobble?

Introduction to the causes of steering wheel wobble: Specific reasons: Incorrect front wheel alignment angles, excessive toe-in. Low front tire pressure or tire imbalance due to repairs. Deformed front wheel rims or unequal number of wheel bolts. Loose installation of drivetrain components. Bent drive shaft causing power imbalance. Solutions: Generally, replacing brake discs and brake pads can resolve the issue. If the steering wheel shakes at low speeds, it might be due to a loose belt in the mechanical steering system causing slippage, or looseness and excessive play in the steering linkage system, which can lead to wobbling and abnormal noises.

Is there a fee for taking the driving test in another location?

There is no additional fee for learning to drive and taking the driving test in another location. Starting from June 1, 2019, the 'One-Certificate Nationwide Test' policy for small vehicle driving licenses was implemented. Applicants can directly apply for a driving license with their resident ID card anywhere in the country, and no longer need to submit residence registration certificates. Materials required for taking the driving test in another location: Prepare the original driving license, original ID card, eight white-background photos, and a medical examination form. If you are in another location, you also need to prepare a temporary residence permit. Bring all the required materials to register at the driving school, vehicle management office, or traffic police station. Age requirements for obtaining a motorcycle driving license: Applicants for a light motorcycle license must be between 18 and 70 years old. Applicants for a regular three-wheeled motorcycle or a regular two-wheeled motorcycle must be between 18 and 60 years old.
