I've driven the Haval Big Dog a few times, and when the maintenance light comes on, it usually reminds you that it's time for service. The method to reset it is quite simple: first, turn off the ignition switch, press the start button without stepping on the brake to make the dashboard display completely black, then locate a small hole button at the bottom right of the dashboard, press and hold it with a key or a thin stick for about 5 seconds, and release when you see the light go off. Be patient during this process and don't rush. The maintenance light is part of the smart system, designed to remind you to change the oil or inspect parts. If it doesn't reset, it will keep flashing and distract you while driving. I recommend performing this operation immediately after each service to avoid distractions during daily driving. Regular car maintenance is key. For example, I check my car's condition once a month, which can prevent major issues like engine overheating due to oil leaks and extend the vehicle's lifespan. Doing this small operation yourself saves time, but if the car is under warranty, it's safer to have it done at a 4S shop.

What are the precautions for towing?

Precautions for towing include selecting the appropriate hitch, ensuring communication and coordination between the front and rear vehicles, and maintaining a safe distance. Selecting the appropriate hitch: The towing hitch should not only be able to hook on but must be securely fastened and properly installed. Always double-check that the hitch is properly engaged before towing to prevent it from coming loose midway. Ensuring communication and coordination between the front and rear vehicles: Drivers of both vehicles should establish a reasonable route to avoid complex road conditions and congested areas. Maintaining a safe distance: To prevent rear-end collisions when using a tow rope, it is essential to control the distance and speed between the vehicles. Typically, the length of the tow rope should be about 5-10 meters, so the distance between the vehicles should be kept within the effective range of the tow rope, and the tow rope should remain taut. Additionally, the towing speed should be kept below 20 km/h.

How to Deal with Engine Piston Slap?

When piston slap occurs mildly, the engine power becomes slightly unstable, the engine shakes severely, and it may cause the engine to overheat and emit black smoke. The solutions for engine piston slap are as follows: 1. If there is a knocking sound when the engine starts and runs at low temperature, but the sound disappears when the temperature normalizes, it can be left untreated temporarily and continue running. 2. If there is an obvious knocking sound when the engine temperature is normal, high-speed operation should be avoided as much as possible, and disassembly and repair should be carried out as soon as possible. 3. If the cylinder is severely out-of-round, scratched, or the gap between the piston and cylinder is too large, replacement should be performed. 4. If the connecting rod is found to be deformed, it should be replaced as much as possible.

What is the reason for the restricted function of BYD S7 engine accessories?

BYD S7 engine accessory function restriction causes: charging system (generator) failure; intake system failure; exhaust system failure; valve timing error. The following is a relevant introduction about automobile engines: 1. Function: The machine that provides power for automobiles, serving as the heart of a vehicle, affecting its power performance, fuel economy, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, automobile engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid power systems. 2. Types: Common gasoline and diesel engines belong to reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston motion and output power externally. Gasoline engines feature high rotational speed, light weight, low noise, easy starting, and low manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have high compression ratios, excellent thermal efficiency, and better economic performance and emission performance than gasoline engines.

Why don't sedan cars have rear wipers?

The reasons why sedan cars do not have rear wipers are as follows: 1. Structurally speaking: Sedan cars do not have a suitable position to install a rear wiper. Hatchbacks generally have their rear glass and rear door integrated, with the wiper pivot installed on the metal door body below the rear door glass. When the rear door is lifted, it does not affect the wiper. However, sedan cars cannot install the wiper pivot on the trunk lid (let alone on the glass). It can be imagined that if it is installed on the trunk lid, when the lid is opened, the glass remains stationary, causing a misalignment between the wiper and the glass, making it unsuitable for installation. The Mazda6 sports version and Hyundai Coupe have rear wipers. Although these two models appear to be sedans, they are actually rear hatchbacks, structurally similar to hatchbacks. Therefore, sedans do not have rear wipers because there is no suitable place to install them, unless they are rear hatchback sedans. 2. From an airflow perspective: The rear window glass of a sedan is less likely to get dirty. For straight-back hatchbacks, the airflow separation point is at the rear of the roof, creating a turbulent low-pressure area behind the entire car. Dirt gets swept up and sticks to the rear window glass, making it dirty and affecting visibility. For sedans, the low-pressure separation point is at the edge of the trunk, only dirtying the rear "butt" without affecting the rear window glass. Additionally, due to the airflow, dirt on the curved rear window glass is blown away. 3. The sedan's trunk blocks the dirty water from the rear wheels: Compared to hatchbacks, sedans have an additional trunk at the rear, which blocks almost all the dirty water generated by the rear wheels. This means only the "butt" gets dirty, and dirty water does not splash onto the rear window. Therefore, the presence of the trunk in sedans significantly reduces the necessity of a rear wiper.

What is the horsepower of the 6135 diesel engine?

The maximum power output of the 6135AZK-7 model is 172.9KW/2100rpm. Below is relevant information about diesel engines: 1. Concept: A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that obtains energy by burning diesel fuel. Diesel engines offer advantages of high power output and good fuel economy. The working principle of diesel engines shares many similarities with gasoline engines, with each operating cycle also going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. 2. Development prospects: The traditional image of diesel engines being heavy, noisy, and emitting black smoke has given many people a poor impression. However, after years of research and application of new technologies, modern diesel engines have become unrecognizable compared to their predecessors. Modern diesel engines typically employ technologies such as electronic fuel injection, common rail systems, and turbocharged intercooling, achieving significant breakthroughs in weight reduction, noise reduction, and smoke emission control, reaching performance levels comparable to gasoline engines.
