This small wrench is a maintenance indicator light, not a sign of vehicle malfunction. The small wrench is simply a maintenance reminder, a very user-friendly design that typically appears during each key-turn self-check. If the vehicle is properly maintained, you can manually reset the "small wrench" symbol by following these steps: 1. Insert the key (only insert, do not turn). 2. Hold down the trip meter's operation lever for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to power on. 3. After another 5-10 seconds, start the engine. Keep pressing the operation lever throughout this process without releasing it.

What are the essential items for a new car?

Essential items for a new car are as follows: 1. Parking sensors: If the vehicle lacks parking assistance features, it's crucial to install parking sensors, including a rearview camera. These configurations can significantly enhance the user's driving experience, especially for novice drivers, by simplifying parallel parking and garage entry. 2. Dash cam: In today's crowded roads, a dash cam is an essential device that clearly records instances of others' illegal or rule-breaking behaviors, such as ETC tag scraping on highways or encountering fraudsters on one-way streets. 3. Fire extinguisher and warning triangle: The warning triangle is used during vehicle breakdowns to alert other drivers and prevent secondary accidents. The fire extinguisher is for emergencies like vehicle fires. 4. Window tinting film: Automotive window tinting offers numerous benefits, not only creating a private space but also effectively blocking sunlight exposure.

What medical examinations are required for a driver's license?

The medical examination for a driver's license generally includes height, vision (including color discrimination), hearing, upper and lower limbs, and trunk and neck. The following are the examination requirements: 1. Height: According to the latest Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139, there is no height requirement for Class C driver's licenses. 2. Monocular vision impairment: Applicants with a naked or corrected visual acuity of 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart in the right eye and a horizontal field of vision of 150 degrees or more can apply for a Class C driver's license. (Note: Previously, monocular vision impairment disqualified applicants from obtaining a driver's license, but the latest Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 now allows applications if the above requirements are met.) 3. Hearing: Applicants must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Hearing aids are permitted for those with hearing impairments.

How often should the Vios radiator be refilled with water?

The Vios radiator is filled with coolant, and if there are no leaks, it generally only needs to be replaced when the maintenance period is due. The car radiator usually refers to the car's cooling system radiator, which is part of the engine's water cooling system. The radiator consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, the outlet chamber, the main plate, and the radiator core. The steps for adding water to the car radiator are as follows: 1. Turn the pressure cap counterclockwise. If you hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before opening it; 2. Add an appropriate amount of coolant to the coolant expansion tank, ensuring the level is between the MAX and MIN marks; 3. With the coolant expansion tank cap open, start the engine; 4. After starting the engine, the coolant level in the tank will slowly decrease. At this point, add more coolant to the expansion tank until the level reaches between the MAX and MIN marks again; 5. Reinstall the cap, ensuring the pressure cap is hand-tightened and fully seated.

What Substance Mixed with Diesel Fuel is Most Damaging to the Engine?

There are many substances that can be mixed to damage the engine, which can be categorized into insoluble and soluble. Here are the details: 1. Soluble water: The most common insoluble substance is water. Since water is lighter than oil, it is difficult to detect when mixed with diesel. Scientifically speaking, if the technology meets the standards, mixing water with diesel can actually reduce pollution. However, without proper technical treatment, the outcome is different. A small amount of water will accumulate at the bottom of the fuel tank. Once the water level exceeds the fuel pump inlet, it can lead to accelerated damage to the fuel pump, fuel filter, injector, and even the engine. 2. Insoluble chemicals: There are also many substances soluble in diesel, such as laundry detergent. However, mixing such substances usually causes emulsification or other reactions, making it easy to detect. The primary way these substances harm the car is by clogging the fuel lines with impurities.

What does MPV stand for?

MPV stands for Multi-Purpose Vehicle. Here is some relevant information about MPV: 1. Introduction: MPV is a vehicle type evolved from station wagons. It combines the spacious passenger area of a station wagon with the comfort of a sedan, while also offering the trunk space of a van. MPV models are generally designed with a two-box structure and can accommodate 7 to 8 passengers. Strictly speaking, MPVs are primarily designed for family users. The interior space of an MPV is relatively larger than that of a sedan with the same engine displacement, and there are size specifications, but not as detailed as those for sedans. 2. MPV Features: MPVs feature a two-box structure, with a body layout based on the structure of a sedan. They often directly use the chassis and engine of a sedan, resulting in a similar appearance, driving experience, and ride comfort as a sedan, along with excellent interior noise insulation. The frontmost part of an MPV is the engine compartment, which effectively cushions frontal impacts and protects the safety of front-seat passengers.

How Long Can Motor Oil Be Stored After Opening?

Motor oil can be stored for about six months after opening. After opening, the remaining oil should be sealed as soon as possible by tightly closing the cap. It can also be sealed with wax. If wax sealing is inconvenient, you can use a clean plastic bag folded several times to cover the oil container's opening before tightening the cap for better sealing. The oil should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent it from deteriorating quickly. The functions of motor oil: 1. Shock absorption: When the pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, it suddenly increases the load on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings. The lubrication through the bearings helps cushion the impact load. 2. Rust and corrosion prevention: Lubricating oil can adhere to the surface of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 3. Cooling: The oil can carry heat back to the oil tank and dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. 4. Cleaning: Good-quality oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, washing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil.
