When the SVS indicator appears on the vehicle dashboard, it means the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a sensor or that the sensor is operating outside standard parameters. Below is relevant information about the SVS malfunction indicator: 1. Working principle: This light will illuminate when the ignition key is turned on and will go off after the vehicle is started; the SVS light will also illuminate when the engine ECU detects a fault; if this light comes on while driving, it indicates an engine malfunction. 2. Function of the SVS malfunction indicator: The SVS malfunction indicator is a warning light that alerts the owner when the ECU or TCU of an electronically fuel-injected vehicle detects an issue with the engine or automatic transmission. Therefore, if this light comes on, it is recommended to check the vehicle at a repair shop as soon as possible.

Braking System: The Peugeot 408's braking system maintenance requires regular replacement of the vehicle's brake fluid and periodic inspection of the vehicle's brake pads, brake hoses, and brake pump. During vehicle use, if it is found that the vehicle's braking is not responsive or the braking effect is poor after stepping on the brake pedal, it is necessary to have the brakes inspected at a repair shop. Otherwise, there are significant safety hazards for vehicle driving. 2. Replacement Time: The Peugeot 408's brake pads need to be replaced when the vehicle has been driven for 30,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Vehicle brake pads are consumables and are vulnerable parts of the vehicle.

How to resolve the red key light issue in Subaru?

There are two types of red key lights flashing on the dashboard. 1. One without the KEY symbol: This is the engine immobilizer indicator light, which normally turns off after the car starts. If it doesn’t turn off, it may indicate a fault in the immobilizer system, and you should take the car to a 4S shop or auto repair shop for inspection. 2. The other type with the KEY symbol: This indicates low battery in the car key. You should check it promptly to determine if the battery needs replacement. If the battery is low, replace it as soon as possible to avoid inconvenience. 3. Car immobilizer system: The car immobilizer system is designed to prevent the car from being stolen and to protect valuable items inside. It mainly consists of electronic control circuits, alarm devices, remote keys, mechanical keys, and actuators. Mechanical door locks prevent the doors from opening automatically while driving but do not serve as an anti-theft measure.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Pressing and Releasing the Brake Pedal?

There are generally two reasons: one is the friction between the wheel and the braking system, and the other is rust between the brake disc and brake pads, which causes noise due to rust friction. Below is relevant information about brakes: 1. Definition: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. The braking device is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. 2. Classification: Braking is divided into emergency braking and daily braking. During emergency braking, be aware of the risk of rear-end collisions.

How many bottles of Chefu Fuel Additive should be added at one time?

Using 5 to 6 bottles consecutively is recommended. Here are the relevant details: 1. Ratio: The recommended ratio for fuel additive is one bottle per 65 liters of gasoline. Add one bottle of fuel additive when filling up the tank, and use it continuously for optimal results. It's crucial to note that fuel additive should not be used with long intervals between applications, as this may affect its effectiveness. 2. Function of fuel additive: The fuel additive used in motor vehicles is the 3rd generation gasoline detergent. Its primary purpose is to address carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles. It can quickly restore the engine to its optimal working condition, compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline properties, and impart some excellent characteristics to the gasoline.

Why is there a discrepancy between the tire pressure monitoring system and the air pump display?

Strictly speaking, any instrument will have some degree of error. Between the air pump pressure gauge and the tire pressure monitoring system, the tire pressure monitor is more accurate. Here's relevant information: 1. Tire pressure range: Cold tire pressure of 2.3, 2.4, or 2.5 bar is normal, and after driving some distance, 2.5 or 2.6 bar is considered normal - it should not exceed 2.8 bar when the pressure is high. 2. Considerations: When tire pressure is high, the contact area between the tire and the road is smaller, resulting in poorer grip, longer braking distances, more noticeable bumps, and reduced comfort, but with lower rolling resistance and relatively better fuel efficiency. When tire pressure is slightly lower, the contact area with the road increases, improving grip and comfort, but with higher rolling resistance and increased fuel consumption.
