When a wrench light appears on the dashboard, it means the vehicle has reached its scheduled maintenance interval and should be taken to a 4S dealership for servicing. This indicator will disappear after the maintenance is completed. The maintenance cycle is pre-set when the vehicle leaves the factory, and the small wrench symbol will appear at certain mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance. Typically, the maintenance cycle is every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers driven, with factory settings often exceeding 8,000 kilometers. The purpose of vehicle maintenance is to maintain a clean appearance, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down component deterioration, and extend the vehicle's service life.

How to Turn Off the ABS in a Car?

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) installed in the vehicle cannot be turned off by the driver and must be handled by maintenance personnel at a 4S shop. Here is more information about the ABS Anti-lock Braking System: 1. Function of the vehicle ABS system: When the wheel is about to reach the next lock-up point, the brake fluid pressure causes the airbag to act repeatedly, operating 60~120 times per second, equivalent to continuous braking and releasing, similar to mechanical 'cadence braking'. 2. Vehicles equipped with ABS achieve anti-skid performance on dry asphalt roads, rainy days, and snowy days at rates of 80%—90%, 10%—30%, and 15%—20%, respectively.

Why can't the Corolla hood latch be moved?

Corolla hood latch cannot be moved because the pads on both sides inside the compartment are adjusted too high. Hood switch: The switch is located below the left side of the dashboard in the driver's seat. Method to open the hood: After installing the support rod into the slot, ensure that the rod firmly supports the hood to prevent it from pressing on the head or body. Before closing the hood, always return the support rod to its clip. Closing the hood while the support rod is still in place may cause the hood to bend. Check and confirm that the hood is fully closed and locked. Solution for unmovable latch: Before opening, it's best to press the unlock button on the key, or check if the key battery is dead.

What does parallel import of cars mean?

Parallel import of cars refers to vehicles that are purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without the authorization of the brand manufacturers. Due to different import origins, they can be classified into models such as U.S. specification cars and Middle East edition cars, which are different from the traditional channel-sold China specification cars. Parallel imported cars are also legal products and enter the domestic market after passing 3C certification, but they are imported in smaller batches and do not come with manufacturer warranty services. Precautions for purchasing parallel imported cars: 1. Certificate of Imported Goods; 2. Vehicle Inspection Sheet; 3. Vehicle Conformity Certificate; 4. Vehicle Purchase Invoice; 5. Imported Vehicle Electronic Information. These documents are mainly used for the owner to pay the vehicle purchase tax and facilitate the subsequent licensing procedures.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch when braking with a manual transmission?

Whether to depress the clutch when braking with a manual transmission depends on the purpose of braking. Here are the explanations: 1. Slightly reducing speed: In this case, you don't need to depress the clutch pedal because the reduced speed won't exceed the current gear range, making clutch operation unnecessary. 2. Significant deceleration or stopping: Here you should depress the clutch pedal as the vehicle speed decreases excessively, causing mismatch between engine RPM and transmission gear, which may lead to gear dragging. Depressing the clutch protects the engine system. 3. Emergency braking: During urgent deceleration to avoid danger, you can prioritize rapid vehicle deceleration over engine safety by directly applying the brake pedal for fastest response to prevent collisions.

How often should the original fuel filter be replaced?

It should be replaced approximately every 100,000 kilometers. Here is more information about fuel filters: 1. Built-in fuel filter: Only a few cars have this type, which is installed on the fuel pump and immersed in gasoline. This type of fuel filter has a long service life, and if the car is driven infrequently, it can be replaced after many years. However, due to its location, replacement is more complicated, requiring the fuel pump to be removed, and thus the labor cost is relatively high. 2. External fuel filter: The service cycle of an external fuel filter is relatively short, generally needing replacement every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Most vehicles use this type of fuel filter, and its replacement method is also relatively simple.
