The SVS light in a car is similar to the engine fault light. When the SVS indicator light comes on, it indicates that the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a sensor or that the sensor has exceeded its usage standard. When the ignition is turned on, the SVS indicator light will illuminate for an automatic check and then turn off after a few seconds, allowing the vehicle to operate normally. Here is some relevant information: 1. Introduction: The SVS indicator is an engine fault indicator. It will light up when the ignition key is turned on and will turn off once the vehicle is started. If the engine ECU detects a fault, the SVS light will illuminate. If this light comes on while driving, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's engine. It is recommended to contact a local 4S store for inspection and repair as soon as possible. 2. Risks: If the SVS light stays on and is accompanied by signs such as increased combustion chamber temperature or the oil pressure warning light, continued driving may lead to increased engine wear and early engine damage.

What does it mean when the dashboard 'A' light is on?

The dashboard 'A' with a circle illuminated indicates that the automatic parking system is activated. When this switch is turned on, the vehicle will not continue to move after being braked to a stop, even if the brake pedal is released. It will only resume movement when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. To deactivate this function, the button can be pressed manually. Introduction to Automatic Parking: Automatic parking, also known as AUTO-HOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying operations. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent switching between D to N or D to P. How Automatic Parking Works: The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and accelerator pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.

What to Do When the Display Screen Remains On After Turning Off the Key for an Electric Vehicle?

Then, find the relay for the power distribution module on the back, identifying the corresponding relay based on its position. At this point, you can try replacing it with a new relay.
