Vehicle maintenance instant reminding device and method

The invention relates to a vehicle maintenance instant reminding device and method, in particular to an automatic and instant monitoring of vehicle condition, and reminding a driver to perform vehicle maintenance to reduce the probability of vehicle failure and damage, and in its overall implementation. An innovative designer of vehicle maintenance instant reminder devices and methods with more practical and effective features.

According to the new moon and moon benefits of technology, the design of various types of transportation vehicles is also more sophisticated; among them, for various types of cars, they are often driven at high speeds, making automobile manufacturers For safety reasons, a time period or mileage cycle is required for each consumable part to be replaced.

Generally, for the maintenance, inspection and maintenance of the automobile, although it can achieve the expected effect of early detection of the loss state of the automobile and avoiding the danger during the driving process, it is also found in the actual implementation. The driving habit and the vehicle usage rate of each driver are found. It is not the same, such as: frequent long-distance driving with short-distance driving, or frequent use of cars with few cars and other different car conditions. Therefore, the average driver often does not know how to maintain according to the vehicle time or mileage. Or neglect, forget the last time to enter the factory maintenance, mileage, and delay regular maintenance; it is not clear which consumable parts of the vehicle should be replaced? Which parts can be used for long? As a result, consumer disputes are often derived and cannot be mentioned immediately. The driver should be rushed to the factory for maintenance, which effectively protects the driver's driving safety.

In addition, various types of vehicles are considered for safety, and various system abnormal warning lights are also provided on the instrument panel to remind drivers of matters. However, when the driver is often driving, he or she cannot immediately see the abnormal light on the dashboard of the car because of the attention to the road conditions, which affects the safety of the driving and may increase the damage of the vehicle.

In view of this, the inventor, in view of the rich experience in design and development and actual production of the relevant industry for many years, has further researched and improved the existing structure to provide an instant reminder device and method for vehicle maintenance, in order to achieve better practical value. Target person.
