Without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button to power on the vehicle. Use the control buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the "Oil Life" page for resetting. Select the corresponding item using the steering wheel's selection buttons. The dashboard will display the "Reset" prompt. Finally, press the "OK" (confirm) button.

When it comes to resetting the maintenance light on a Focus, I drive a 2015 model myself. The light staying on after every service is annoying, so I looked into the method: First, turn off the engine and make sure the key is completely in the OFF position, then locate the SET button on the dashboard. Hold it down without releasing, and at the same time turn the key to the ON position (without starting the engine). At this point, the dashboard indicator lights will flash a few times. Wait for five to ten seconds until you see the light go out, then slowly release the button—that’s it. If the reset is successful, the light won’t come on the next time you start the car. This trick works for most newer Focus models, but the buttons may vary by year—for example, older models use the TRIP button. Remember not to rush when doing this; trying a couple of times is fine. If you still can’t get it to work, checking the owner’s manual or online videos is the most reliable solution. Regular car maintenance is important—the light is just a reminder tool, so don’t focus only on resetting it and forget to change the oil. Engine health depends on these maintenance tasks.

Is It Dangerous to Keep Spray Paint in a Car?

"Keeping spray paint in a car may be dangerous. It is best not to leave it in the vehicle. The paint may contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and iron. Here are the details: Cleaning spray paint: If the spray paint is water-soluble, it can be rinsed off directly with water. However, for non-water-soluble spray paint, you can use cooling oil to clean it. Apply it to the painted area, wait a few minutes, then wipe it off with a cotton ball, and finally rinse with clean water. Alternatively, you can use alcohol, paint cleaners, or other solvents for cleaning. Precautions for using spray paint: Shake the can evenly to ensure the paint is fully vaporized. Focus when spraying, and most importantly, spray evenly. Keep the nozzle neither too close nor too far—about 20 centimeters away—and ensure the spray angle is perpendicular to the surface. Avoid spraying too much at once (or moving too slowly). For deeply damaged areas, spray once, wait a few minutes, and then spray again. If you have never used a spray can before, practice on a scrap piece of material first."

What is the corresponding speed for the 5th gear in a manual transmission?

The corresponding speed for the 5th gear in a manual transmission is 50 to 60 km/h and above. The corresponding speeds for other gears in a manual transmission are: 1st gear corresponds to 0 to 20 km/h; 2nd gear corresponds to 20 to 30 km/h; 3rd gear corresponds to 30 to 40 km/h; 4th gear corresponds to 40 to 50 km/h. The car's speed, gear, and RPM must match: if you want to overtake, you need to downshift; if driving aggressively, wait for the engine RPM to reach the redline area before shifting; if cruising at high speed, use the highest gear. The operation for shifting gears is: press the clutch pedal, quickly release the accelerator, shift to the corresponding gear, match the accelerator according to the gear, or do not press the accelerator, quickly lift the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged state, and gently release the clutch pedal after the clutch is engaged.

What is the fuel consumption of the Beijing Hyundai Elantra?

The fuel consumption of the Hyundai Elantra is 8-10L per 100 kilometers. The vehicle's fuel consumption mainly depends on driving habits and road conditions. Regular maintenance and proper usage can help maintain optimal fuel efficiency. If the fuel consumption is too high, it may be necessary to clean carbon deposits from the engine. Below are the reasons for high fuel consumption and their solutions: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Over time, gasoline combustion can lead to carbon and sludge buildup. If not cleaned promptly, this can increase fuel consumption. Cleaning the engine carbon deposits is required. 2. Spark plug issues: The spark plug generates high-voltage electricity to ignite the air-fuel mixture. If damaged, it can reduce ignition energy, leading to uneven combustion, slower acceleration, and higher fuel consumption. Replace or clean the spark plugs. 3. Abnormal tire pressure: Incorrect tire pressure can also affect fuel consumption. Low tire pressure increases contact area and friction with the road, raising rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Check and adjust tire pressure as needed.

How to Fold a Car Sunshade?

First, lift the front and rear positions of the outer cover, then remove the two mirror covers. Fold the sunshade on the car roof from front to back (or reverse fold) to approximately 30 cm in width, then fold it lengthwise. Car sunshades are specifically designed for drivers and car owners, eliminating the hassle of driving. They help maintain the cabin temperature within the most comfortable range for the human body. Additionally, they protect car interiors from damaging light sources such as UV and infrared rays. They are energy-efficient and durable. Functions of a sunshade: Environmentally friendly, rainproof, sandproof, dustproof, frostproof, heat-insulating, cooling, and privacy-enhancing. Blocks UV rays, reduces volatile harmful substances inside the car, prevents aging of car leather and dashboard instruments, and extends the vehicle's lifespan. The outer layer of the sunshade consists of a highly reflective aluminum coating that reflects solar radiation, ensuring the car does not overheat even when exposed to sunlight for extended periods. Sunshades can also enhance privacy by obscuring the view from outside, adding a safety factor. These benefits are most evident when the car is parked. While driving, they provide excellent protection for both the vehicle and its occupants, or enhance protection. It is recommended to install explosion-proof and heat-insulating window films. Whenever possible, choose sunshades installed outside the car. If installed inside, sunlight can penetrate the glass and reflect back into the car after hitting the aluminum foil, trapping heat inside. The sunshade's heat-insulating layer absorbs some heat but ultimately blocks light without effectively insulating, heating the air inside the car.

Is the SWM X7 fuel-consuming?

Not very fuel-consuming. The SWM X7 has 11 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2021 facelift models include the 1.5T automatic Elite Edition 6-seater, automatic Elite Edition 7-seater, automatic Zhiyun Edition 7-seater, and automatic Elite Edition 5-seater, all equipped with a 156-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 8L per 100km. The 2020 models include the 2.0L manual Comfort Edition 5-seater, manual Elite Edition 5-seater, manual Comfort Edition 7-seater, and manual Elite Edition 7-seater, all equipped with a 137-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. The 2020 models also include the 2.0L manual Champion Edition 7-seater, manual Champion Edition 6-seater, and manual Champion Edition 5-seater, all equipped with a 143-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different SWM X7 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 156-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 8L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 54L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 54/8*100=675km. For models equipped with a 137-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 54L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 54/7.9*100=684km. For models equipped with a 143-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 54L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 54/7.9*100=684km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Rough driving can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during cold starts is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
