The method to reset the wrench light on Lavida is: 1. Turn off the engine, rotate the odometer reset handle on the dashboard counterclockwise by one notch and hold it; 2. Turn the car key to start the engine, then release the adjustment handle after starting to let it automatically reset. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, and maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving my Lavida for almost ten years, and encountering the little wrench warning is a common occurrence. The reset method is quite simple: first, turn the key to the OFF position (engine off), then locate the small button on the instrument panel—usually the trip reset or SET button—and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position (dashboard lights on but don't start the engine). After a few seconds, the wrench symbol should disappear or show a reset success message. I recommend doing this immediately after maintenance to avoid forgetting the next oil change interval. Always pay attention to this warning while driving, as ignoring it can lead to engine issues. My neighbor once forgot to reset it, delayed an oil change, and ended up spending hundreds on repairs. Regular maintenance is the real way to save hassle and money while extending your car's lifespan.

As a newbie to my own Lavida, I was really nervous when I saw the little wrench light for the first time. A friend taught me a trick: After turning off the engine, sit in the driver's seat and hold down the 'set' button on the left side of the steering wheel without releasing. Then turn the key to the ACC position to illuminate the dashboard, wait until the wrench light goes off or the dashboard displays new information before letting go. It took me two tries to get it right, but it was quite easy, almost like solving a puzzle in a game. The little wrench is actually a reminder that maintenance is due. After resetting it, the system will calculate the next reminder time to prevent you from forgetting to change the oil or filter. I also noticed that button positions might vary slightly depending on the model year, so you can check the manual to confirm. After maintaining this habit, my car runs smoother and fuel consumption has stabilized. No need to stress too much in daily use—just master the method.

When driving out with kids, safety comes first. Don't ignore the wrench light. I've learned the reset steps: turn off the engine, press the mileage button, turn the key to ON position and watch the dashboard changes. If the wrench disappears, it's successful. This process is quick and effortless, and it automatically sets the next maintenance reminder date after resetting. For a family car, regular resets have many benefits, preventing engine failures or breakdowns on the road. I remember last month on a rainy day after resetting, the engine sound became quieter, and I saved on repair costs too. Always perform this operation promptly after each maintenance to keep the car in good health - that's what matters most.

What is the Difference Between 4S Store Spray Paint and Original Factory Paint?

4S store spray paint and original factory paint differ in the following aspects: 1. Variety: Original factory paint refers to the paint applied during production in the factory, with the topcoat typically being amino paint that undergoes high-temperature baking. Currently, 4S stores mainly use polyurethane paint, which cures at room temperature or dries through low-temperature baking. 2. Repair level: While 4S stores can achieve the effect of original factory paint, it is not the genuine original factory paint. Processes like electrophoresis within the original factory paint cannot be replicated by 4S stores or repair shops; they can only repair the top three layers: the primer layer, color layer, and clear coat layer. 3. Lifespan: The lifespan of 4S store spray paint is shorter compared to original factory paint. The quality of the spray paint largely depends on paint mixing, the spraying environment, and the technical skill of the workers. Paint mixing may seem simple, but achieving the right mix is not easy. Complex car paints use color codes and computer analysis for tinting, while simpler ones involve manual addition of colorants and comparative tinting, adjusted bit by bit. It is impossible for the mixed paint to perfectly match the original factory paint, but the color difference is generally unnoticeable to the naked eye.

Why was the Geely Haoyue discontinued?

Geely Haoyue has not been discontinued. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Appearance: The style of the Geely Haoyue is similar to most models in the Geely family, leaning towards a sporty type. Although the design of the front is not exaggerated at all, it does not lack a sense of fashion due to the use of the latest family design language. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the Geely Haoyue are 4835 1900 1780mm, with a maximum wheelbase of 2815mm, which is very excellent among models of the same level. The body contour of the Geely Haoyue is very square, and combined with its burly size, it easily gives a sense of oppression. Moreover, the whirlwind-style wheels of the Geely Haoyue are also very handsome, creating a quite strong sporty aura.

How to Use Cruise Control in Volkswagen Lavida?

Here is how to use the cruise control in Volkswagen Lavida: 1. The cruise control switch of Volkswagen Lavida is located on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Its main functions include turning off/resuming cruise control, setting speed limits, speed adjustment, and distance adjustment for the sports version. 2. Pressing CNL cancels the cruise control, while 0/1 turns it off. Press RES to resume cruise control. 3. The cruise control function does not activate immediately after turning on the switch. The SET button is used to set the desired speed. (Note: It can only be activated when the speed is above 30km/h.) 4. The silver buttons are used to adjust the speed value, with the left/right buttons controlling speed decrease/increase respectively. 5. The middle cylindrical button can also be used to manually set the following distance. Precautions for using cruise control are as follows: 1. Cruise control does not have automatic braking function, while adaptive cruise control is more intelligent and solves this problem. However, full automation of electronic devices still needs gradual improvement, so drivers should remain attentive to road conditions. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal, cruise control stops working. The speed value is not cleared and can be restored to continue cruising. 3. In situations like heavy rain or winding mountain roads, please turn off the cruise function and switch to careful manual driving. 4. On downhill slopes, the vehicle may accelerate. Use the foot brake to assist and turn off cruise control if necessary.

Meaning of inspection-exempt vehicles: The 6-year exemption for non-commercial passenger vehicles means the vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection, but owners still need to visit designated "6-year exempt vehicle" service points to obtain inspection qualification labels.
