New CRV model maintenance light reset operation is as follows: 1. Turn on the power mode: First, ensure the CRV's power mode is in ON mode, with the vehicle completely stopped and the gear in P position. 2. Press the information display button: Press the information display button on the left side of the steering wheel, then select the clock vehicle settings display screen. At this point, you can see the "Vehicle" option. 3. Reset information: After selecting the appropriate option, press the vehicle maintenance information reset to complete the process. 4. Press the maintenance button: First, ensure the CRV's power is in ON mode. Continuously press the (Display/Information) button until "Maintenance" appears on the display screen. 5.

I reset the maintenance light on my newly purchased CRV the other day, and the steps were quite simple: first, turn the car key to the ON position without starting the engine, just to light up the dashboard. Then, find the button on the dashboard, usually the TRIP or INFO button, press and hold it until the maintenance light flashes a few times and goes off before releasing. The whole process takes about 10 seconds. Remember to do this after maintenance; don’t skip the inspection just to save trouble—the light indicates it’s time to change the oil or check the chassis. If it doesn’t work, try turning the key off and on again, or check the manual for the exact procedure. Regularly resetting the maintenance light can extend the car’s lifespan, and I prefer doing it myself to save some money.

How to Check if ETC Has Been Applied For?

Car owners need to bring relevant documents such as their ID card and vehicle license to a bank branch to inquire whether ETC has been applied for their vehicle. How ETC Works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, computer networking technology is used to process backend settlements with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may render the electronic tag invalid. In such cases, it can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or to a highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment was not due to human intervention, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause fee deduction failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, where cash or card payments can be made. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those with modified front windshields.

How Many Types of Car Horns Are There?

Car horns can be categorized based on their sound-producing mechanisms into air horns and electric horns. According to their appearance, they can be divided into spiral, cylindrical, and disc types. Based on frequency, they can be classified as high-pitched and low-pitched. Air horns are commonly used in large and medium-sized trucks and buses equipped with air brake systems. Electric horns produce a crisp and pleasant sound with a volume not exceeding 105 decibels, making them widely used in various types of vehicles. Due to their high volume, air horns are prohibited in urban areas, so all vehicles, regardless of whether they have air horns, must be equipped with electric horns. Electric horns can be further divided into conventional electric horns and electronic horns based on the presence of contacts. Conventional electric horns rely on the opening and closing of contacts to control the electromagnetic coil, which excites the diaphragm to produce sound. Electronic horns, on the other hand, do not have contacts and use transistor circuits to excite the diaphragm for sound production.

What Kind of Strobe Lights Are Legal?

Strobe lights are all illegal. Installing strobe lights on a vehicle without authorization, regardless of the type of strobe light, constitutes a violation of the law. Strobe lights, due to their intense brightness and rapid flashing at night, can interfere with the normal driving of other vehicles and pose a safety hazard. Relevant information about vehicle lights is as follows: Introduction: Vehicle lights refer to the lamps on a vehicle, serving as tools for road illumination during nighttime driving and as signaling devices to indicate various driving conditions. Reverse Lights: Reverse lights automatically turn on when the driver shifts into reverse gear. These lights are white and transparent, primarily serving to alert other vehicles that the car is reversing.

What is the main function of seat belts?

Seat belts function to restrain the driver and passengers in their seats during sudden braking or unexpected situations, preventing them from being thrown forward and thereby protecting them from injuries caused by secondary collisions. Relevant information about car seat belts is as follows: Introduction: Car seat belts are safety devices installed on vehicle seats. Working Principle: The retractor contains a ratchet mechanism. Normally, occupants can pull the webbing freely and at a constant speed, but when the webbing stops being pulled out continuously or when the vehicle encounters an emergency, the ratchet mechanism locks automatically, preventing the webbing from being pulled out further.

How to Quickly Memorize Nighttime Light Simulation?

For oncoming vehicles, following vehicles, and straight driving, remember to turn on the low beams; for turns, adding new items, turning on the low beams is fine; when hearing 'pass' or 'overtake', alternate between high and low beams; only when the lighting is poor should the high beams be turned on; if the vehicle encounters a malfunction or temporary stop, turn on both the width markers and warning lights; if all lights are the same, stop the operation and listen to the voice prompts; when the exam ends with a voice prompt, turn off all lights. Here is an introduction to Subject Three: Introduction: Subject Three is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referred to as the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. Content: The road driving skills test generally includes: preparation before getting in the car, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over to park, driving straight through intersections, turning at intersections, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, nighttime driving, etc. 3. Assistance: Students can use the simulated test software on the mobile or computer version of the Driving Test Guide to learn traffic regulations.
