How to turn off the engine without turning the key
If you are having difficulty turning off the engine of your car, there is a way to do it without turning the key. To do this, you will need to use the dashboard switch located on the right side of the steering wheel. Once you have located and turned off this switch, the car will no longer require a key to be turned in order to start.
How to reset the engine light
If you are having trouble starting your car, and the engine light is on, there is a way to reset the engine light. First, try to start your car with the key in the “ignition” position. If you can’t start your car this way, then you will need to turn off the car’s electrical system. To do this, first find the breaker panel and shut off all of the circuit breakers that are above it. After doing this, find the “engine stop” switch and flip it to “off.” Next, find the “engine start” switch and flip it to “on.” Finally, turn on your car’s electrical system by turning on the main power switch. If you still can’t start your car after doing all of this, then you will need to take your car to a mechanic.
Conclusion
Yes, you can drive a car with the engine light on. However, this is not recommended as it may cause unnecessary worry to other drivers and lead to risky situations. If you are in doubt about whether or not it is safe to drive your car with the engine light on, please consult a professional before doing so.
