service is a maintenance reminder light, indicating that the vehicle requires servicing. The reset process consists of three steps as follows: Step 1: Before starting the car, press and hold the trip reset "000" button. Step 2: Insert the key and turn it to the position just before engine ignition (accessory position), maintaining this for 10 seconds. Step 3: Release the button, remove the key, wait 30 seconds before restarting the vehicle - the service light will then be extinguished. Vehicle maintenance refers to periodic preventive work involving inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment or replacement of certain components, also known as automotive servicing. Modern vehicle maintenance primarily covers engine systems, transmission systems, air conditioning systems, cooling systems, fuel systems, power steering systems, etc. The purpose of vehicle maintenance is to maintain cleanliness, ensure proper technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow deterioration processes, and extend the vehicle's service life.

How to Use a Reversing Radar?

Here is a detailed introduction to the application of reversing radar: 1. When reversing, there will be a warning sound. The closer the obstacle is, the more urgent the warning sound becomes. The driver should reverse carefully according to the surrounding environment and the radar warning sound. 2. When reversing, the reversing radar uses the principle of ultrasound. The sensor installed on the rear bumper sends ultrasonic waves to hit the obstacle and reflects the waves back, calculating the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, and then alerts the driver. 3. The reversing radar informs the driver of the surrounding obstacles through sound or a more intuitive display, eliminating the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, and starting the vehicle, and helping the driver to eliminate blind spots and unclear vision defects.

What is the working principle of four-wheel drive?

The following is the working principle of four-wheel drive: 1. Four-wheel drive, also known as all-wheel drive, means that both the front and rear wheels of the car have power. The engine output torque can be distributed in different proportions to all front and rear wheels according to the state of the driving surface to improve the driving ability of the car. 2. The SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) system is Acura's unique four-wheel drive system. This epoch-making four-wheel drive system not only automatically distributes torque between the front and rear wheels but also achieves a breakthrough by freely distributing torque between the left and right rear wheels, allowing all four wheels to be allocated the optimal torque as needed.

Can You Add Water When Coolant Is Low?

You should not add water when coolant is low. Here are the reasons: 1. Coolant, fully known as antifreeze coolant, serves both antifreeze and cooling functions as its name suggests. Water should not be added to the radiator unless in an emergency, as water has a low boiling point and is prone to boiling over, resulting in poor cooling performance. 2. Water has a high freezing point, making it prone to freezing, which can affect engine or radiator operation. 3. Water contains impurities and ions, which can form scale and cause blockages. 4. Coolant provides antifreeze, cooling, anticorrosion, and antiscaling functions. Although coolant also contains water, it is soft water—specifically, distilled water that has undergone deionization and softening treatment.

How to Remove Cigarette Smell from the Car Interior?

Methods to remove cigarette smell from the car interior are as follows: 1. Initial deep cleaning of the car interior. First, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the carpets, then clean the carpets with a carpet cleaner. If cleaning the carpets seems too troublesome, simply vacuuming them can also be quite effective. 2. Most cleaning agents have strong odor-removing capabilities. Spray them on all visible surfaces and then use a soft brush to spread the cleaning agent evenly. 3. Baking soda can absorb odors inside the car. Sprinkle baking soda on all porous surfaces in the car, use a soft brush to work the baking soda in, and let it sit for several hours or even a whole day. The longer it sits, the better the effect, allowing the baking soda to gradually neutralize the odors inside the car.
