Methods to turn off the car maintenance reminder: 1. Visit a 4S shop to turn it off using the computer system; 2. Turn it off through the vehicle settings, as the method varies for different car maintenance reminders. The maintenance light serves as a reminder for the car owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible. After maintenance is completed, a fault diagnostic tool is used to reset the maintenance light. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

When I first encountered this issue, I researched it for a long time. To turn off the car maintenance reminder, it's best to check the vehicle manual first, as the method varies by car model. For example, most modern cars require using the steering wheel control buttons to access the settings menu and find the reset option. If it's a Honda, you usually need to hold down the Trip button for 5 to 10 seconds until the reminder disappears. Remember to do this before turning off the car, preferably when parked in P gear. I also found that regular maintenance can reduce the frequency of these reminders, such as changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers or checking the air filter. The reminder is for important maintenance, so don't forget the actual servicing after turning it off, otherwise it may accelerate part wear and affect driving safety.

Is it permissible to drive in the opposite direction when encountering flooded roads during driving?

When encountering flooded roads during driving, observe whether there are any detour signs around. If detour signs are present, driving in the opposite direction is permissible; otherwise, such operation constitutes a traffic violation. Below are emergency strategies for encountering flooded roads: Pay attention to the water depth: When encountering flooded roads during driving, carefully observe the water depth. If the water depth exceeds the axle, it is not advisable to continue driving. Before entering a flooded area, maintain a considerable distance from the vehicle ahead. For unfamiliar roads, follow the path taken by the preceding vehicle to avoid encountering obstacles in the water. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear when entering water, supply fuel steadily, and proceed at a slow, constant speed without stopping in the water. After exiting the flooded road, do not suddenly shift to a higher gear and drive at high speed. Instead, repeatedly test the brakes while driving, moving intermittently to dry the brake pads through friction. Only resume normal driving after confirming the brakes are effective.

How long can vehicle annual inspection be delayed without penalty?

Vehicle annual inspection cannot be delayed without penalty. The correct car maintenance methods are as follows: 1. Avoid high-speed driving: New vehicles have speed limits during the initial running-in period. Domestic vehicles are generally limited to 40-70 km/h; imported vehicles usually require staying below 80% of maximum speed during the first 1,000 km when fully accelerating, while monitoring both engine RPM and speed gauges to maintain medium-range operation. Typically, engine RPM during break-in should be strictly maintained between 2,000-4,000 rpm. 2. Avoid overloading: Fully loading a new vehicle will damage components. Therefore, during the first 1,000 km, domestic vehicles shouldn't exceed 75%-80% of rated load capacity; imported vehicles shouldn't exceed 90%. Additionally, choose better road surfaces to minimize excessive vibration, impact, or emergency braking, reducing stress on the body and powertrain. 3. Never remove the speed limiter prematurely: The speed limiter is a throttle device installed between the carburetor and intake manifold. Drivers shouldn't remove it early but should wait until after the initial 1,000 km combined with maintenance. Imported vehicles usually don't have speed limiters, relying entirely on driver's speed control.

Is it okay for a motorcycle to run a red light?

Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles. Running a red light while riding a motorcycle violates traffic regulations and will result in penalty points and fines. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic cameras capture three photos as evidence for running a red light: the front wheel crossing the stop line, the rear wheel crossing the stop line, and the front wheel crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signals, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as braking might not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line or approach an intersection.

Why are there few 280 Passats for sale?

There are few 280 Passats for sale because 4S stores do not have them in stock. Introduction to the Passat: The Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany. It is classified as a B-segment car in the Volkswagen lineup. With the Passat, the application of the most advanced engineering technology has enabled it to surpass the standard design of mid-range sedans in terms of power performance, overall design, safety concepts, driving and riding comfort, as well as durability and longevity. Advantages of the Passat: The exterior design is stable and dignified, meeting the aesthetic standards of most people; both the 1.8T and 2.0T power systems have excellent acceleration capabilities; the DSG transmission is high-tech, greatly aiding both power and fuel efficiency; the overall noise level is at the upper-middle level among its peers; the driver's seat has a wide range of adjustments, and the seats are relatively comfortable, suitable for drivers of various body types. Disadvantages of the Passat: When starting from a standstill, the DSG transmission responds a bit slowly, and there is slight rollback when starting on a slope; the chassis's shock absorption is somewhat direct, especially with the optional 18-inch tire version; there is no switch inside the cabin to fold down the rear seats, nor is there a passage to the trunk, making it inconvenient to retrieve or place items while driving.

Can Car Engine Oil and Motorcycle Engine Oil Be Mixed Together?

Motorcycle engine oil and car engine oil cannot be mixed. The differences between motorcycle engine oil and car engine oil are: durability differs, heat dissipation differs. Durability differs: Motorcycle engine oil: Because motorcycle engines generate more heat, motorcycle oil places special emphasis on high-temperature resistance. Additionally, motorcycle engines generally operate at higher RPMs, making durability a strong point of motorcycle oil. Car engine oil: Car engines generate less heat compared to motorcycle engines, so the durability of car engine oil is inferior to that of motorcycle oil. Heat dissipation differs: Motorcycle engine oil: Motorcycles typically have an oil capacity of 1-4L, so motorcycle oil generally has better heat dissipation than car engine oil. Car engine oil: Cars usually have an oil capacity of 5-7L, allowing them to utilize their larger oil volume for effective heat dissipation.

How long is the Talagon?

The Talagon has a length of 5152mm and a wheelbase of 2980mm, making it the largest SUV in the Volkswagen brand. Definition of vehicle length: The distance between the two extreme points in the length direction of the vehicle, measured from the most protruding point of the front bumper to the most protruding point of the rear bumper. Definition of vehicle width: The distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the vehicle, which is the distance between the leftmost and rightmost protruding points. According to industry standards, the vehicle width does not include the width of the extended side mirrors, meaning the most protruding points should be selected when the mirrors are folded. Definition of vehicle height: The distance from the ground to the highest point of the vehicle. The highest point refers to the topmost position of the vehicle's roof, excluding the length of the roof antenna.
