How to turn off the constantly lit SOS light in a car?

To turn off the constantly lit SOS light in a car, simply press the corresponding light button back to its original position, or press the hang-up button on the steering wheel. The SOS system in a car is an onboard self-rescue system designed to quickly seek emergency assistance when the vehicle experiences a malfunction, is involved in an accident, or encounters dangerous and sudden situations. The structure of the onboard self-rescue system includes a winch drum connected to a fixed worm gear reducer, with a DC motor mounted on the reducer's housing. The current input of the DC motor is connected to the cigarette lighter via a wire switch. A U-shaped bracket has a fixed hook installed on its back, and a steel cable is wound around the winch drum, with one end of the cable tied to an anchor hook.
I've encountered a similar issue before. The SOS light in my car stayed on inexplicably, and I later found out it could be due to a software bug in the vehicle's system or unstable battery voltage triggering protection. The first step is to find a safe place to park, turn off the engine, and wait a few minutes before restarting. Sometimes this can resolve temporary software glitches. The manual shows the location of the reset button—try that. If the light remains on, you might need to check via the mobile app or the car's screen to see if the emergency service subscription has expired, as many modern cars rely on subscriptions for SOS functionality. If the problem persists, it's essential to visit a 4S shop or a professional repair station to diagnose the error codes with specialized equipment. Avoid forcibly turning it off to prevent false alarms, which could waste resources and disrupt normal use. Regularly updating the system version can help prevent such issues.
