What does the maintenance light on a 2012 Chery Flagcloud 2 mean?

[OKyle]

The maintenance light on a 2012 Chery Flagcloud 2 illuminates to remind the owner to perform scheduled maintenance according to mileage requirements. Below are the specific impacts of neglecting car maintenance: 1. Bearing labor costs: For vehicles under warranty, failing to perform basic maintenance on time means that once a malfunction occurs, the owner will need to pay for parts and labor fees at the 4S shop. If the issue is related to electrical circuits, the manufacturer will not be responsible. 2. Compromising driving safety: As engine oil comes into contact with air and is exposed to heat, it gradually oxidizes. With an increase in acidic substances, sludge, and iron particles, the oil color darkens and its viscosity decreases. Prolonged failure to change the oil may lead to these deposits blocking oil passages, causing dry friction in the engine and severely affecting its lifespan. 3. Smoke and fire hazards: Deterioration in the cooling efficiency of the coolant can lead to scale formation. Continuing to drive with an overheated engine may result in smoke or fire.
