The small wrench indicator is a maintenance reminder light. It is designed to alert the driver to perform vehicle maintenance after a certain mileage has been driven. Additional information: 1. Composition of automotive dashboard indicators: Various indicator or warning lights are installed, such as coolant level warning light, maintenance reminder 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, airbag (SRS) warning light, etc. 2. Vehicle maintenance cycle: The maintenance interval is preset during vehicle manufacturing, so the "small wrench" will appear at regular mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance. Typically, our recommended car maintenance cycle is every 5,000-8,000 kilometers driven, while the factory-set interval is usually slightly longer than 8,000 kilometers.

What is the load-bearing capacity of an SUV trunk?

Generally, an SUV trunk can bear a load of about 200 kilograms. Precautions for trunk usage: Use it reasonably and avoid placing too many items to prevent adding burden to the vehicle and creating safety hazards. Avoid storing hazardous materials. It is not recommended for owners to keep heavy items in the trunk for long periods, as this increases the vehicle's load and fuel consumption. Essential items such as emergency tools (e.g., tow ropes, common medicines, band-aids, etc.) should be kept in the trunk for emergencies. In critical situations, the trunk can also serve as an escape route. Hazards of carrying heavy loads: The designed load-bearing capacity of a trunk generally should not exceed 250-300kg. Cars should not carry excessively heavy items as it adversely affects the chassis and suspension system, leading to fatigue and aging of springs and shock absorbers, and potential deformation of the chassis and frame. Statistics show that for every 10% increase in weight, the vehicle consumes 6% more fuel. Fuel consumption is not only related to vehicle performance and driving habits but also directly linked to the trunk's load. Regular cleaning of the trunk and maintaining an organized placement of items are essential habits.

The Most Effective Way to Practice Riding a Motorcycle

Practicing motorcycle riding requires maintaining body balance and adopting the correct posture. Practice Techniques: Maintain body balance. If your body is not seated stably, you won't be able to handle the motorcycle smoothly. Of course, you must also keep the motorcycle balanced and stable. Even when both are balanced, avoid gripping the handlebars too tightly. Excessive force makes it difficult to control the bike effortlessly and prevents the full utilization of the motorcycle's inherent steering capabilities. Enable your body to move freely. This means adjusting your posture as needed for operation, whether by shifting your weight onto the footpegs or seat, or altering your stance to reduce pressure on them, thereby achieving balance under different conditions. Riding Method: With your left hand, firmly pull the clutch and shift into first gear. Slowly increase the throttle with your right hand while gradually releasing the clutch with your left hand to start the motorcycle. After riding approximately ten kilometers, release the throttle with your right hand, quickly pull the clutch with your left hand, and shift into second gear. Then, increase the throttle with your right hand while slowly releasing the clutch with your left hand to resume normal riding.

Which cars have only one reverse light?

Volkswagen Polo, Ford Escort, Chevrolet Malibu, Toyota Vios, and Toyota Corolla have only one reverse light. Reasons for having only one reverse light: Regulatory requirements: For vehicles less than 6 meters in length, it is mandatory to install one reverse light, with an option to install a second one. The light color must be white. The law requires vehicles to have a reverse light but does not mandate two. Automakers do not need to install two reverse lights, which also helps save costs and enhances market competitiveness. The reverse light is not solely for illumination but primarily serves as a warning to vehicles or pedestrians behind that the car is reversing and they should take caution. In areas with streetlights, the reverse light has minimal effect, so one light is as effective as two. However, having only one reverse light does affect the car's "symmetrical beauty." Function of the reverse light: To alert pedestrians and vehicles behind the car while providing auxiliary illumination.
