I remember when I was driving a Volkswagen Sagitar, the maintenance light came on and I didn't know how to turn it off. It took me a while to figure it out. The method is actually quite simple: First, turn off the engine and remove the key. Find the reset button on the dashboard, usually the one with a small arrow or the menu button, and hold it down. Then, reinsert the key and turn it to the ON position, which is the position before starting the engine, but don't start the engine. Hold the button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the maintenance indicator light will flash a few times before turning off. At this point, you can release the button. For models after 2015, you might need to use the buttons on the steering wheel to access the vehicle settings and find the maintenance reset option. If it doesn't work, try repeating the process a few times or disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. After resetting, the system records the mileage and reminds you when it's time to change the oil and check components, preventing engine issues and avoiding travel delays. I find it quite practical and it makes driving more reassuring.

What Causes Difficulty in Shifting Gears in Small Cars?

Small cars may experience difficulty in shifting gears due to reasons such as deformation of the clutch friction plate or insufficient transmission oil. Deformation of the Clutch Friction Plate: If the friction plate of the clutch pressure plate assembly becomes deformed due to certain factors, the solution is to replace it with a high-quality original equipment manufacturer (OEM) clutch pressure plate. Insufficient Clutch Release Travel: If the issue lies with the clutch, insufficient release travel can prevent the clutch from fully disengaging, making gear shifting difficult. In such cases, it is advisable to visit a repair shop to adjust the clutch release travel. Transmission Issues: Transmission oil needs to be replaced promptly. If the transmission components lack sufficient oil, gear shifting may become stiff. Transmission oil, similar to engine oil, serves to lubricate the gear components. It is essential to replenish the transmission oil in a timely manner if it is low. Difficulty in Shifting Gears in Cold Weather During winter, when the car is cold, gear shifting may generally feel stiff. Due to the cold weather, the lubrication effect of the transmission oil may not be optimal when the car is cold. Therefore, it is normal to experience some jerkiness when shifting gears in a cold car.

How Long Does Vehicle Transfer Take?

Vehicle transfer procedures take one day when all documents are complete. For out-of-town transfers, vehicle size records need to be extracted, which generally takes 7 working days to complete. According to Article 13 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": When the domicile of a motor vehicle owner moves out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, the vehicle management office shall, within three days from the date of acceptance, annotate the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the license plate and driving license, issue a temporary driving license plate valid for 30 days, and hand over the motor vehicle file to the motor vehicle owner. The motor vehicle owner shall apply for the motor vehicle transfer at the vehicle management office of the new domicile within the validity period of the temporary driving license plate. To apply for motor vehicle transfer: The motor vehicle owner shall fill out an application form, submit identity proof, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle file, and present the motor vehicle for inspection. If the motor vehicle has exceeded the inspection validity period at the time of transfer, a safety technical inspection shall be conducted at the transfer location, and the motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate and compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate shall be submitted. The vehicle management office shall, within three days from the date of acceptance, confirm the motor vehicle, verify the vehicle identification code imprint, review relevant proofs, certificates, and motor vehicle files, annotate the transfer information on the motor vehicle registration certificate, and issue the license plate, driving license, and inspection qualification mark.

What is the driver's field of vision when the vehicle is stationary?

When the vehicle is stationary, the driver's static field of vision is approximately 200 degrees. The relationship between vehicle speed and field of vision is as follows: When the speed increases from zero to 40km/h, the dynamic field of vision is about 100 degrees. When the speed increases to 80km/h, the dynamic field of vision is about 60 degrees. When the speed increases to 120km/h, the dynamic field of vision is only about 30 degrees. Generally, when the speed is below 50km/h, drivers can still clearly distinguish objects in front and on both sides. Generally speaking, as the speed increases, the dynamic field of vision narrows, and the clear observation distance shortens and moves forward. Therefore, it is advisable not to speed. Precautions for safe driving: Do not press the accelerator pedal forcefully before the engine coolant low-temperature warning light goes off. Insufficient heating can lead to abnormal combustion of unburned gases and damage the three-way catalytic converter. Before driving, always ensure all doors are closed, as unclosed doors may suddenly open during driving, causing serious accidents. If any door is not properly closed, a door ajar warning will appear on the dashboard. When snow or fallen leaves accumulate at the air intake under the front windshield, remove them promptly. Otherwise, fresh air cannot be drawn in, leading to insufficient ventilation inside the vehicle. During rain, the temperature inside the car rises, causing fog to form on the windows, which can impair the driver's vision.

What is the method for cleaning a high-flow air filter?

The method for cleaning a high-flow air filter is: 1. Remove surface debris from the air filter; 2. Spray cleaner to dissolve stains; 3. Clean from the cleaner side towards the dirtier side; 4. Apply specialized maintenance oil. High-flow air filters are made from special chemical fibers that increase air intake, reduce engine intake resistance, and improve volumetric efficiency during engine operation. The air flow meter in the fuel system detects the increased air intake and sends a signal to the ECU, which then controls the fuel injectors to release more gasoline accordingly. This allows more air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinders, achieving the purpose of increased horsepower output.

Which Gear to Use for Automatic Transmission in Snowy Conditions?

For automatic transmission vehicles in snowy weather, it is recommended to drive in D (Drive) gear, and snow chains can be installed in areas with heavy snow accumulation. Additionally, when using the snow mode in automatic transmissions, pay attention to shifting gears early to reduce power output, decrease torque on the wheels, and avoid slipping. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission in snowy conditions: 1. Avoid sudden braking on icy or snowy roads: Do not brake suddenly on icy or snowy roads. Instead, you can choose to manually shift gears and then slow down. For drivers of manual transmission vehicles, when starting on icy or snowy roads, lift the clutch slowly and apply gentle throttle. For automatic transmission vehicles, if the car has a snow mode, switch to the snow driving gear in time to ensure the vehicle obtains appropriate torque on icy or snowy roads. 2. Stay focused while driving: For vehicles without ABS, coasting in neutral is not allowed because if control is slightly off, it is easy to lock the tires. Once the front wheels lock, the ability to control the direction of movement is lost, and the car will move in the direction of inertia. If the handbrake is applied, the rear wheels will lock, causing the vehicle to skid sideways, making it even harder to control the direction. 3. Driving on snowy or muddy roads: When driving on snowy or muddy roads, if the gear selector is in "D" (Drive) position and the drive wheels slip, if the driver immediately releases the accelerator pedal, the automatic transmission may upshift prematurely due to the faster rotation of the slipping drive wheels, further exacerbating the slipping of the drive wheels.
