Last year, I drove the same Great Wall H6 model. When the maintenance light came on, I managed to reset it myself—it was pretty straightforward. The first step is to operate with the car turned off, without pressing the brake or starting the ignition—just sit in the driver's seat. Locate the small button on the dashboard, usually the trip reset button or the small black dot on the left side of the steering wheel, and hold it down. Then turn the key to the ON position, which powers the electronics without starting the engine. After a few seconds, you'll hear a beep or see the maintenance light blink a few times before turning off—it takes about 5 seconds. I tried it twice; the first time it didn’t work because I didn’t wait long enough, but with a bit more patience, it worked. If the light still doesn’t turn off, it might be a fuse issue or a system malfunction—don’t force it, and take it to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop promptly. The maintenance light reminds you to change the oil and such; after resetting, remember to follow the manual for regular maintenance to avoid car troubles and keep it running smoothly. Doing it yourself saves money, and learning these little tricks feels great—especially with high fuel prices these days! In short, don’t be afraid of the hassle—just give it a try.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've reset the maintenance light on my Great Wall H6 multiple times. Here's my method: First, ensure the vehicle is completely turned off and remain seated calmly. Use your left hand to press and hold the mileage reset button near the steering wheel or the small button on the left side of the instrument panel. With your right hand, turn the key to the second position (where the instrument panel lights up but the engine isn't started). Keep holding the button for about 10 seconds until the light automatically turns off. If there's no response, check if the button is stuck or if there's a wiring connection issue. I recommend taking this opportunity to inspect the tires and brakes, as the maintenance light typically indicates it's time for an oil change. Resetting it helps track the next service interval—don't overlook this. Learning basic car maintenance can save you a lot of money. If manual reset doesn't work, visit a reliable auto repair shop instead of risking it on the highway. Treat your car like a friend—proper maintenance ensures longevity, reliability, and safety.

I'm quite interested in cars and often tinker with minor repairs. Resetting the maintenance light on a Great Wall H6 isn't difficult. The key is to perform the operation with the engine off: sit in the driver's seat, locate the reset button on the dashboard—usually the Trip button or a similar small button, and hold it down. Then turn the key to the ACC power position (power on without starting the engine), hold for a few seconds until the light goes out. I've tried this on most 2017 models and it usually works. The principle behind it is resetting the maintenance counter in the system, essentially telling the car 'I've done the maintenance.' If the light stubbornly stays on, it might be due to unstable battery voltage or an abnormal control module. In that case, don't waste your effort and head straight to a professional shop for a check. Developing a habit of regular maintenance is crucial to avoid excessive engine wear. DIY resetting is both fun and practical, and I recommend giving it a try.

I believe the maintenance light reset should never be taken lightly, especially for Great Wall H6 models, as it directly relates to driving safety. When driving, I always pay attention to: first turning off and stabilizing the vehicle when the maintenance light comes on. Then, press and hold the odometer button under the steering wheel for about 5 seconds, turn the key to the ignition position, and wait for the light to flash and go out. If there's no response, check the battery status or fuses. Remember, resetting is just part of the regular reminder; don't just reset without changing the oil, or else the vehicle's wear will be severe. If the light suddenly comes on again while driving, pull over to handle it. Routine maintenance includes checking filters and fluid levels, making driving more reassuring and fuel-efficient. As a car owner, mastering this small trick is convenient, saves money, and enhances driving responsibility.

Is It Normal for New Car Tires to Have Mud?

It is normal for new car tires to have mud because the vehicle needs to be driven when transported from the factory to the dealership via car carrier and during unloading. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability. Below are the functions of car tires: 1. Enhancing vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure strong adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the car's power, braking, and off-road capability. They work with the suspension to absorb shocks during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 2. Preventing premature wear of vehicle components: Car tires protect vehicle parts from severe vibrations and early damage, adapt to high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What does new energy PTC mean?

New energy PTC refers to the DC PTC heater used in electric vehicles, which is a type of ceramic heater and also a typical semiconductor resistor with temperature sensitivity. PTC is the abbreviation of Positive-Temperature-Coefficient, meaning a positive temperature coefficient, generally referring to semiconductor materials or components with a large positive temperature coefficient. The commonly mentioned PTC refers to the positive temperature coefficient thermistor, abbreviated as PTC thermistor. A PTC thermistor is a typical semiconductor resistor with temperature sensitivity. When the temperature exceeds a certain threshold (Curie temperature), its resistance value increases stepwise with the rise in temperature. Ceramic PTC is primarily composed of barium titanate (or strontium, lead), with small amounts of donor elements (Y, Nb, Bi, Sb), acceptor elements (Mn, Fe), and additives such as glass (silicon oxide, aluminum oxide), sintered to form a semiconductor ceramic. Ceramic PTC exhibits low resistance below the Curie temperature, and above the Curie temperature, the resistance increases stepwise by 1000 to a million times.

Can the daytime running lights of the 9.5th generation Accord be replaced?

The daytime running lights of the 9.5th generation Accord can be replaced. The following are the functions of daytime running lights: 1. From the perspective of the surrounding environment, daytime running lights can improve visibility and make motor vehicles more prominent. This technology, specifically designed for daytime use, is more direct and effective than existing lighting devices. 2. With daytime running lights, road users can detect and recognize motor vehicles earlier and better. When the driver turns on the ordinary headlights in the dark, the daytime running lights will automatically turn off. 3. Many consumers may think that the main function of daytime running lights on cars is decoration, but in fact, this configuration also plays a significant role in driving safety by enhancing the vehicle's recognizability.

What is a Legal Beihu Car?

Beihu car refers to a vehicle that cannot be transferred to a new owner. It is completely normal in all aspects, with complete documentation, valid annual inspection and insurance, but the ownership cannot be transferred. The main reasons for not transferring ownership after a vehicle transaction are: the license plate registration location is too far away, making the transfer process costly; the vehicle is used as debt collateral; the original owner has passed away without canceling the vehicle registration; in areas with purchase restrictions, the license plate and vehicle are transferred together; or the vehicle cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions. Since these vehicles cannot be transferred to the buyer's name, their price is naturally much lower than vehicles that can be transferred normally. Generally, those sold with a full set of documents including the registration certificate, vehicle license, insurance, and a copy of the owner's ID card will not have financial disputes. Buyers just need to check the current vehicle records and be cautious about the authenticity of the documents.

How Long Can China 5 Vehicles Still Be Driven?

China 5 vehicles can still be driven for at least another 10 years. Restrictions on China 5 vehicles being allowed on the road will not be implemented until at least the introduction of the China 9 emission standards. On average, these standards are updated every 4 years. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Currently, some provinces and cities already prohibit the registration of China 4 vehicles. With the introduction of China 6 standards, the resale value of China 5 and below vehicles will decrease. Due to the restrictions imposed by the 'China 6' standards, it is estimated that even registering China 4 vehicles will be difficult. The China 6 emission standards are touted as the strictest emission standards in history, with various emission indicators even stricter than Euro 6, making them one of the most stringent emission standards globally. 2. China 6 is divided into two phases: 6a and 6b. The first phase, starting from July 1, 2020, prohibits the sale, registration, and licensing of vehicles that do not meet the China 6a emission standards. The second phase, starting from July 1, 2023, prohibits the sale, registration, and licensing of vehicles that do not meet the China 6b emission standards. 2023 is not far away—just 5 years from now—but many provinces and cities have already begun implementing the China 6 standards ahead of schedule, starting from January 1, 2019, which is just two months away. These provinces and cities include: Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Hainan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou. There is no need to worry about already registered China 5 vehicles, as they are currently unaffected. Last year, China 2 vehicles were mandated for compulsory scrapping. If you purchase a China 2 vehicle at the end of its emission standard period, it will take about 10 years before it is subject to compulsory scrapping.

What Functions Should Be Turned On When Driving in the Rain?

When driving in the rain, you should turn on the automatic headlights, ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and TCS (Traction Control System), automatic wipers, and rearview mirror heating function. Automatic Headlights: During rainy weather, the sky is often gloomy, which can easily affect visibility. In such conditions, it's necessary to turn on fog lights or width indicators to alert other vehicles and prevent collisions. Automatic headlights will turn on or off based on the external light conditions. ESP and TCS: Rain makes the road surface slippery, significantly reducing tire grip. Speeding or sudden steering can cause the vehicle to skid. Activating ESP and TCS allows the system to adjust the wheels effectively if the vehicle loses control, helping to prevent accidents. Automatic Wipers and Rearview Mirror Heating: Raindrops on the windshield can obstruct the driver's view, and fog on the windows can further impair visibility. If the vehicle is equipped with automatic wipers, the system can detect moisture and automatically clean the windshield, adjusting the wiper frequency to maintain clear visibility. Similarly, the rearview mirror heating function quickly removes moisture, ensuring the driver has a clear view.
