How to recover the mileage after it has been reset?

You can use a fault diagnostic tool to connect to the vehicle's onboard computer and read the engine and transmission trips to obtain the actual mileage of the car. You can also visit a 4S shop to check the car's maintenance records to estimate the actual mileage of the vehicle.

My car has been running for over a decade, and I've encountered similar issues. The odometer reset usually occurs due to dashboard operation errors or after part replacements, just like when my friend accidentally pressed the wrong button while adjusting settings. Once reset, it's quite difficult to restore the original data because the actual vehicle mileage is stored in the onboard computer, while the display is just a reading method. If the display reset was caused by human error, you can try restarting the vehicle or disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to see if it recovers; but if the data is truly lost, I recommend visiting a professional repair shop or 4S store immediately—they can retrieve internal records using diagnostic tools. Make it a habit to record mileage changes in a mobile app or notebook to avoid affecting maintenance schedules or resale value. Never overlook this small detail—inaccurate mileage can lead to missed maintenance intervals and increased safety risks while driving.

How often should front and rear tires be replaced?

Car tires generally need to be replaced every 5 years or approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If the tires are severely worn, they must be replaced earlier. In cases where the tires show no issues, if the mileage reaches 80,000 kilometers, replacement is necessary even if the usage period hasn't reached 5 years. Tires may also be considered for replacement under the following conditions: 1. Wear level: Check the tread pattern on the tire surface. If the tread depth is less than 1.6 mm or aligns with the wear limit indicator, replacement is required. 2. Mileage: Generally, car tires need to be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. 3. Age: Tires older than 5 years will age at an increasingly faster rate. Even if the wear is not severe, replacement should still be considered.

Which statement about using lights in rainy weather is correct?

If it rains during the daytime but the rainfall is not heavy and visibility remains relatively high, you only need to turn on the position lights. In heavy rain with very low visibility, you should turn on the fog lights. Here are some precautions regarding light usage in rainy weather: 1. Do not use hazard warning lights while driving. The so-called "hazard warning lights" (also known as emergency flashers) are available in every vehicle, with the switch typically featuring two interlocking triangles. These lights are generally not used during normal driving. Misusing hazard lights may send wrong signals to surrounding vehicles, potentially leading to dangerous situations. 2. As rain intensity changes gradually, it's incorrect to use only position lights throughout. You should reasonably switch between different lights according to the intensity of the rainfall.

What Are the Reasons Why a Car Cannot Start in the Morning?

There are several reasons why a car may fail to start in the morning: insufficient battery charge, battery depletion; battery failure; excessive carbon buildup in the car. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Insufficient Battery Charge: In the morning, if the output voltage is less than 12 volts, the starter motor may not reach the required speed. Check if the battery electrolyte needs to be replenished. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Battery Failure: In the morning, when the engine temperature is low, the viscosity of the lubricating oil increases, fuel volatility deteriorates, and the battery's working capacity weakens, leading to difficulty in starting. It is advisable to park the car in a garage with heating facilities. If parked outdoors, frequent starting of the vehicle can easily damage the battery due to prolonged high-load discharge, resulting in failure to start. Excessive Carbon Buildup: This can prevent the car from starting. Regularly driving at high speeds can help reduce carbon buildup. After starting the car, wait 30 seconds to a minute before driving. However, avoid driving at high RPMs during this time. Maintain a low speed for about 3-5 minutes, keeping the RPM generally below 2000. Once the engine temperature rises to the normal operating temperature, resume normal driving.

What causes blue smoke from a car's exhaust pipe?

The reasons for blue smoke from a car's exhaust pipe are: oil leakage into the exhaust pipe, excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder, and piston ring seizure. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Oil leakage can cause blue smoke: When blue smoke appears from the exhaust pipe, the first step is to check if there is oil in the exhaust pipe. If the valve stem seal is leaking oil, it will allow oil to leak into the exhaust manifold, and the high temperature will produce blue smoke. 2. Possible consequences of blue smoke from the exhaust pipe: Blue smoke from the exhaust pipe indicates the car is "burning oil," which refers to excessive oil in the combustion chamber participating in the combustion process. The consequences of burning oil include increased carbon deposits in the cylinder, leading to incomplete combustion and reduced power.

Why can't the dash cam detect the TF card?

If the dash cam cannot detect the TF card, it may be due to issues with the memory card or the dash cam's card slot. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. Memory card requirements: The memory card for a dash cam must not only be of good quality but also meet the capacity and read/write speed requirements of the dash cam. Additionally, if the dash cam's card slot is too loose, it may cause poor contact with the memory card, leading to the dash cam being unable to detect the TF card. A damaged battery in the dash cam can also cause this issue. 2. Check if the TF card is inserted correctly: The side with the chip should face downward. If inserted in the correct direction, the card should slide in easily.
