I've been driving for many years, especially diesel models like the Maxus V80, and I always reset the maintenance light myself. The method is actually straightforward: first, park the car safely, turn off the engine, and make sure the key is in the OFF position. Then, locate the TRIP button or mileage switch on the dashboard and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position (where all dashboard lights are on but the engine isn't started). Wait for 10 to 15 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance indicator light start flashing or turn off completely—then release the button. Make sure to perform this in a safe place, not while driving, to avoid distractions. I recommend testing afterward by restarting the car to check if the light stays off. Also, resetting the maintenance light doesn’t mean skipping maintenance—it just resets the reminder. You should still visit the shop when it’s time to change the oil or filters to extend your car's lifespan. The steps are simple, and once you're familiar, it’ll only take a minute. Practice makes perfect.

To reset the maintenance light, the key is understanding how the system operates. Turn off the ignition switch, set the key to OFF, and allow the system to cool down first. Press and hold the small button on the dashboard, usually the one that displays the mileage. Then turn the key to the ON position, with all dashboard lights illuminated, and maintain the button press for 10 seconds until the indicator light changes before releasing. If it fails, it might be due to the button not being pressed firmly enough or insufficient time—just repeat the process. The system response is consistent for the V80 diesel version; ensure the battery is sufficiently charged to avoid voltage instability interrupting the process. Resetting it can save a trip to the repair shop, but remember that regular maintenance is the core. Before operation, check that the car is parked on level ground with the handbrake engaged—safety first. Document the entire process in writing for easier reference next time.

As a new car owner, I just learned how to reset the maintenance light. The steps are quite straightforward: Park the car and turn off the ignition. Locate the TRIP button on the dashboard and hold it down. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait about 10 seconds until the light goes off, then release. I was a bit hesitant the first time, but following the instructions made it easy. Doing it while parked is the safest; never attempt it while driving. Once done, the light stops flashing, which is a big relief. If you encounter any issues, check online forums or ask experienced drivers. Remember, timely maintenance is key.

Can the steering wheel be adjusted to be heavier if it's too light?

Steering wheel lightness can be adjusted to be heavier. Because the car's electric power steering wheel has a learning function, it will become heavier or lighter according to road conditions and driving habits. Whether it becomes increasingly heavier or lighter will affect the sense of control. EPS is the abbreviation for Electric-Power-Steering, which refers to the electric power steering system that relies on a motor to provide auxiliary torque. Relevant information about the steering wheel is as follows: 1. Introduction: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. 2. Function: Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. The gear system introduced between the driver and the wheels operates flexibly, effectively isolating intense vibrations from the road. Moreover, a good steering wheel system can also provide the driver with a sense of intimate connection with the road.

Will overtaking at an intersection result in penalty points?

Overtaking at an intersection will result in a deduction of 3 points. Below are precautions for overtaking with a vehicle: 1. Observe vehicle conditions: Before overtaking, observe the road conditions ahead and try to choose a flat, straight road. Also observe the situation of the lane you intend to use by checking the left rearview mirror for any vehicles approaching from behind. 2. Light usage: Turn on the left turn signal, alternate between high and low beams, and sound the horn to alert the vehicle in front. Confirm that the vehicle ahead signals to yield before turning left. 3. Lane usage: When using the adjacent lane for overtaking, downshift and press the accelerator deeply. The reason for downshifting is that it provides faster throttle response during acceleration, allowing quicker speed increase.

What are the impacts of changing from 16-inch rims to 18-inch rims?

18-inch rims are more prone to bulging, resulting in higher maintenance costs in the long run. While they can improve the vehicle's handling, they may negatively affect ride comfort. Below is a detailed introduction to the functions of car tires: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: They bear the vehicle's load and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque: They ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, enhancing the vehicle's power performance, braking capability, and off-road ability. Together with the suspension system, they absorb impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 3. Preventing damage to vehicle components: They protect vehicle parts from severe vibrations and premature wear, adapt to high-speed performance while reducing noise during driving, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What are the advantages of a dual-clutch transmission?

The advantages of a dual-clutch transmission: 1. Direct gear shifting, minimal power loss, and low fuel consumption; 2. By alternating the work of two sets of clutches, seamless gear shifting is achieved. Relevant information about dual-clutch transmissions is as follows: 1. Introduction: DCT is the abbreviation for Dual-Clutch-Transmission, directly translated in Chinese as "dual-clutch transmission" (similar to DSG "Direct-Shift Gearbox," but DSG is only Volkswagen's terminology). Because it operates through two sets of clutches, it is generally referred to as a dual-clutch transmission. 2. Function: The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as the "switch" for power transfer from the engine to the transmission. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power.

Can Maintenance Be Done Outside of 4S Stores During the Warranty Period?

Maintenance can be performed outside of 4S stores during the warranty period, but if the owner opts for maintenance at an unauthorized repair shop during this time, the manufacturer may refuse compensation for any issues that arise. It is advisable to have maintenance done at a 4S store while the vehicle is still under warranty. The automobile three-guarantee policy stipulates that consumers must perform maintenance at manufacturer-authorized 4S stores during the warranty period to be eligible for the three-guarantee services. If maintenance has been conducted at a non-4S store, claiming three-guarantee services requires providing a series of documents, including the repair shop's qualifications, material lists, maintenance items, quality inspection reports, duplicate copies of the completion and factory qualification certificates, and purchase proofs, which can be quite cumbersome.

What is the main function of the P gear in a car?

P gear is for parking. It uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating part of the car, preventing the car from moving. When the car needs to stay in a fixed position for a long time, or before leaving the vehicle after parking, you should engage the handbrake and push the lever into the "P" position. Relevant information about automatic transmission is as follows: 1. Introduction: Automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume more than 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether it is a manual or automatic transmission, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient it is.
