I've been driving my Ford Escape for many years, and removing the maintenance reminder is actually quite straightforward. You need to sit in the driver's seat, press the start button without stepping on the brake to power on the car—the dashboard lights up but don't start the engine. Then, on the steering wheel, there's an information button, usually the control button on the right side. Press it a few times to switch to the maintenance reminder interface. Once you see the prompt, immediately hold down that button for 5 to 10 seconds without releasing it until the screen flashes or the numbers reset—that means it's successful. Some models might have the button in a different location, so I recommend checking the owner's manual first to avoid mistakes. If it still doesn't work after the operation, it might be a system error, and you'll need to check the battery or visit a shop to reset it with a diagnostic tool. Developing a habit of regular maintenance ensures your car runs longer—don't let the reminder become just a display.

What Causes Engine Oil Burning in New Cars?

New cars burning engine oil is mainly caused by unsynchronized fuel standards or engine carbon buildup. Details are as follows: Unsynchronized fuel standards: Due to the discrepancy between domestic fuel quality and international standards, a large amount of carbon deposits easily forms in the combustion chamber during engine operation. Carbon buildup is the root cause of various engine problems. Engine carbon buildup: Carbon deposits accumulate in the piston grooves, causing the piston rings to stick together. This prevents the piston rings from sealing properly, significantly reducing their oil-sealing capability. Additionally, sludge can clog the oil return holes, preventing normal oil circulation and leading to increased oil consumption.

Can only one ETC be bound to a car?

A car can only be bound with one ETC, because ETC must be processed at the ETC network center. Once the ETC is processed, the vehicle information and ETC information will be bound, so the car cannot apply for another ETC, and the ETC network center will not approve the issuance of another card. Once the ETC is installed, do not remove it at will, as it will become invalid after removal. The ETC lane is unattended, with only an antenna hanging above the lane. No operation is required when passing through; just drive at a low speed, and the device will automatically communicate with the antenna. The lifting of the barrier proves that the communication has been completed.

What Are the Symptoms of a Faulty Vehicle RPM Sensor?

Engine speed sensor failure manifests the following symptoms: 1. Unstable engine idle; 2. Momentary stalling or engine shutdown during vehicle startup or deceleration to stop; 3. Reduced engine acceleration performance; 4. Deviation in speed display on the instrument panel; 5. Illumination of the engine warning light. The RPM sensor is typically mounted on the distributor or engine, detecting the crankshaft's rotational angle. Malfunction disrupts the ignition system operation, rendering the engine inoperative. As most RPM sensors are magnetic pulse-type generating weak electrical signals, diagnosis can be performed using a multimeter or oscilloscope.

What is the meaning of a white license plate starting with 'sz'?

White license plates starting with 'sz' were previously assigned to vehicles of the Shenyang Military Region and now belong to the Northern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army.

What Causes the Battery Charger to Flash?

The reason the battery charger flashes is due to either a battery fault or a charger fault. Details are as follows: Battery Fault: The electric vehicle's battery is severely depleted, with the battery voltage significantly lower than the normal voltage, causing the charger to malfunction and the indicator light to flash. Charger Fault: The charger itself is faulty, causing the indicator light to flash. If the indicator light flashes when only the power supply is connected without the electric vehicle, it is a charger fault. If the indicator light does not flash when only the power supply is connected but flashes when the electric vehicle is connected, it is generally due to the battery being severely depleted. To prevent damage, avoid dropping, shaking, or roughly handling the charger. Rough treatment can damage the internal circuit board.

What is the difference between large wheels and small wheels?

The following is a related introduction to the difference between large wheels and small wheels: 1. Cheaper cars use small wheels, while more expensive models use large wheels. Firstly, large wheels have a more refined appearance, while small wheels are more common. 2. Regarding tire prices, large wheels may be slightly more expensive, while small wheels may be slightly cheaper. This is mainly because large wheels require more dense materials and more complex manufacturing processes, resulting in a certain price gap between the two. 3. During driving, large wheels offer higher safety than small wheels. Due to their larger contact area, they provide better grip and are more suitable for the road. Small wheels may struggle to maintain grip, increasing the risk of tire blowouts. 4. Large wheels are more time and effort-saving compared to small wheels. Because large wheels have a larger radius and small wheels have a smaller radius, the power required differs.
