What does 'service' displayed on the car mean?
1 Answers
When 'service' appears on the car, it indicates that the vehicle requires maintenance. After the car has traveled a certain distance, the 'service' indicator or a small wrench symbol will appear on the dashboard to remind the user to perform maintenance or replace certain worn parts. Here is more information: 1. Generally, car manufacturers specify maintenance intervals, typically at 5,000, 7,500, or 10,000 kilometers. Following the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is highly recommended, as it outlines all necessary maintenance items. 2. Whether you choose to have the maintenance done at an independent garage or a 4S dealership, there is not much difference in the service quality, mainly just the cost. Currently, it is widely known that independent garages are much cheaper, so you can choose based on your personal situation. 3. Different cars have different dashboard designs, but most conventional dashboards include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging indicator. Beneath the dashboard panel, there are various warning or indicator lights, such as the coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbag warning light.
