In automobiles, SVS stands for the vehicle's service reminder. Below is relevant information about vehicle maintenance: 1. Definition: Vehicle maintenance refers to the periodic inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain components as preventive work, also known as vehicle servicing. Modern vehicle maintenance primarily includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, among others. 2. Purpose: The goal of vehicle maintenance is to keep the car clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Minor maintenance generally refers to routine maintenance tasks performed at manufacturer-specified intervals or mileage to ensure vehicle performance, mainly including oil and oil filter replacement. The timing of minor maintenance depends on the effective duration or mileage of the oil and oil filter used.

I've been in the auto repair industry for quite some time, and I often see car owners asking what SVS means. It's actually the Service Vehicle Soon indicator light. When this warning appears on your dashboard while driving, it means the vehicle's system has detected a service requirement, which could stem from the maintenance cycle being due, the need for an oil change, or some sensor giving a false alarm. Don't ignore it, as it's alerting you to potential issues. If left unaddressed, it could escalate to engine failure or safety concerns. I recommend that car owners promptly visit a professional repair shop for a check-up as soon as they notice this light. We typically use a scanner to read the fault codes for diagnosis. Regular maintenance can significantly reduce the likelihood of it appearing, and keeping your vehicle in good running condition is always the best approach.

Solutions for water entering the car due to an open sunroof on a rainy day: 1. Remove the negative terminal of the battery as soon as possible to prevent short circuits in the car's electrical components due to water exposure; 2. Check if water has entered the engine oil, as it can cause the oil to deteriorate and lose its lubricating properties, leading to excessive engine wear; 3. Inspect the transmission for water ingress, as water can cause the gear oil to deteriorate and result in gear wear; 4. If water enters the exhaust pipe, drain it promptly to prevent impurities from clogging the catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor; 5. Check if the battery is filled with water and replace the electrolyte if necessary; 6. Dry any soaked items (such as seat covers and floor mats) as soon as possible to prevent mold growth; 7.
