The small wrench is a maintenance indicator light, which serves as a maintenance reminder. It typically appears during the self-check when you turn the key. Here are the relevant details: 1. The purpose of the maintenance indicator light is to remind the driver to service the vehicle after it has been driven a certain distance. In other words, when the small wrench lights up, you should take your car to a 4S shop for maintenance. Note that different manufacturers set different maintenance intervals for their models, so when the small wrench lights up should be based on the vehicle's user manual. After maintenance is completed, the technician will reset the maintenance light to zero (i.e., turn it off) through a setting procedure. 2. If the vehicle is being serviced normally, you can manually eliminate the "small wrench" indicator by following these steps: (1) Insert the key, but do not turn it; (2) Hold down the operation lever next to the odometer for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to power on; (3) After another 5-10 seconds, start the engine. Keep holding the operation lever throughout this process without releasing it. (4) Generally, following these steps will clear the small wrench indicator. If it doesn't clear, repeat the same process a few more times.

Will traffic police impound a vehicle in locked status?

If the vehicle is sealed by the court due to economic debt issues, traffic police have no authority to impound it. If a sealed vehicle is impounded by traffic police, it indicates the vehicle has traffic violations or hit-and-run issues. Once a vehicle is locked after being sealed, it cannot be transferred or sold. If a locked vehicle is driven on the road and discovered by law enforcement, it will be impounded. Specific details are as follows: 1. Unsealing: To unseal the vehicle, the respondent must fulfill the judgment or provide other guarantees. If the judgment has been fully executed, an application can be made to the court to lift the seal. After the court issues an order to lift the seal, the order must be taken to the vehicle management office for unsealing. 2. Duration: Additionally, sealing is only a temporary enforcement measure with a certain time limit. Ownership of the sealed vehicle still belongs to the respondent, and the vehicle cannot be impounded, nor can it be driven or traded. However, vehicles are considered special movable property, and their sealing period cannot exceed two years. If the sealing period expires without an extension, the vehicle will be automatically unsealed.

Why does the car air conditioner not cool at high speed but cool at low speed?

When the car is running at high speed, the air conditioner does not cool, there are two reasons. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. Insufficient refrigerant: Insufficient or too little refrigerant in the car air conditioner can cause the air conditioner not to cool. The main reason for insufficient refrigerant is usually a slight leakage in the system. If there is insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system, the amount of refrigerant sprayed into the evaporator from the expansion valve will also decrease, and the heat absorbed during evaporation in the evaporator will consequently decrease, leading to reduced cooling capacity. If the refrigerant is insufficient, it should be replenished. 2. Moisture intrusion: The presence of moisture in the car air conditioning refrigeration system can cause insufficient cooling or no cooling. If the lack of cooling is due to moisture in the refrigeration system, then the desiccant or dryer in the car air conditioner should be replaced. At the same time, the system should be evacuated and recharged with an appropriate amount of new refrigerant.
