What does it mean when the SVS light is on in a Geely Vision?
3 Answers
SVS indicator light on indicates that the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a certain sensor or that it has exceeded the usage standard. Additional information is as follows: 1. Unable to start: When the SVS indicator light is on, you can try to start the engine. If it fails to start, it could be due to an abnormal fuel pump, which cannot supply fuel to the engine properly. 2. If it can still start: It might be a fault with other sensors. In this case, the car can still be driven, but there is a possibility that the fault could affect the normal use of the vehicle, such as increased fuel consumption or body shaking.
When it comes to the SVS light in the Geely Vision, I've seen many car owners complaining about it at repair shops. The full name of this light is 'Service Vehicle Soon,' which means the car needs immediate service. It could be a minor issue, such as needing an oil change, a dirty filter, or small problems with the transmission or brake system. You should first try stopping and restarting the engine. If the light remains on, don't push your luck by continuing to drive—it could lead to serious trouble. Head straight to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop and have them read the fault codes with a computer to pinpoint the exact cause. Regular maintenance can help avoid such issues. Don't assume you can keep driving for long with the light on—delaying repairs might end up costing you a fortune in parts replacement.
After driving a Geely Vision for half a year, I encountered the SVS light turning on once, which gave me quite a scare on the highway as I didn't know what it meant. Later, I learned that this light is a service reminder, indicating that the vehicle needs maintenance. It might be because I forgot the regular service, or there could be a minor issue in the engine. When the light comes on, it feels like the car is warning, 'Check me out soon.' I recommend immediately finding a safe place to pull over and check the dashboard. If there are no other warning lights, you can drive slowly to the nearest repair shop. A friend told me that ignoring this light could lead to increased fuel consumption or sudden breakdowns. For safe driving, it's better to address it early. Don't wait until the weekend to take action; if something goes wrong, it might be too late.
