Haval F5 maintenance light reset method is as follows: 1. The Haval F5's trip odometer is divided into Trip A and Trip B. To reset Trip A: On the dashboard display showing Trip A, press and hold the OK button on the steering wheel to reset Trip A. When Trip A is reset to zero, the Haval F5's maintenance reminder will be cleared. 2. Trip B reset method: Trip B does not require manual reset as it represents the distance traveled after the engine starts. Therefore, when the car's ignition switch is turned to LOCK mode for 4 hours, Trip B will automatically reset to zero.

I remember when I was driving my Haval F5, the maintenance light suddenly came on, which made me a bit worried about whether it would affect the car's condition. After checking the manual, I found it was quite simple: first, turn off the ignition switch, then press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing it. Next, turn on the ignition switch but don't start the engine. After about four or five seconds, the dashboard will flash a prompt, and at this point, release the button—the maintenance light will turn off. Actually, this light is a reminder that it's time for an oil change or routine inspection. Resetting it regularly can save a lot of trouble. After learning my lesson, I now reset it promptly after every maintenance, which not only saves money but also ensures the vehicle's longevity. If you can't manage it, it's best to visit the 4S shop, as maintenance records are quite important to them. In short, don’t ignore this little light—it helps car owners avoid major problems in advance.

The maintenance light on the Haval F5 is set by the onboard computer, and I figured it out after tinkering a few times. The general method is to turn off the engine, hold down a combination of buttons on the steering wheel (such as the trip reset button), then turn the key to the ACC position and wait a few seconds until the light goes off. If you're a new owner without the manual, don't worry—online forums and fellow car enthusiasts often share video guides. The principle behind it is that the system triggers a warning after reaching the preset mileage or time, and resetting it clears the preset values. It's recommended to have the technician reset it for you after each service and check if the sensors are functioning properly, otherwise frequent light warnings might indicate deeper issues. This method is quite safe as long as you avoid incorrect operations, and mastering it can save you time and money on trips to the shop.

How to Operate the Rearview Mirror Button?

Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts off the right ear of your reflection in the mirror. When adjusting the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. For the right rearview mirror, adjust the up and down positions to occupy about 2/3 of the mirror. Adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area.

What Are the Standard Dimensions of a Sedan?

Standard sedan dimensions are categorized into several levels. For family cars, the length typically ranges from 3800mm to 4300mm, width from 1600mm to 1800mm, and height from 1400mm to 1600mm. 1. Length: Length is the most influential parameter affecting a car's purpose, functionality, and ease of use. Therefore, vehicle classes are generally divided based on length. A longer body means more longitudinal usable space, which is obvious; however, an excessively long body can make turning and parking inconvenient. 2. Width: Width mainly affects passenger space and maneuverability. For passenger sedans, if three seats arranged side by side are required to provide a spacious feel (primarily sufficient shoulder room), the width generally needs to reach 1.8 meters. In recent years, due to increased safety requirements, the thickness of door panels has increased, leading to a general increase in vehicle width. 3. Height: Vehicle height directly impacts the center of gravity (handling) and interior space. Most sedans have a height below 1.5 meters, significantly lower than the natural sitting height of a human, primarily to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and ensure stability during high-speed turns to prevent rollovers. 4. Wheelbase: Once the vehicle length is determined, the wheelbase becomes the most critical factor affecting passenger space, as the majority of two-box and three-box sedans position passenger seats between the front and rear axles. A longer wheelbase increases longitudinal space for passengers, directly benefiting legroom, which significantly impacts ride comfort.

Why does the new battery lose power when accelerating?

Here are the reasons why the new battery loses power when accelerating: 1. High starting current: The current is about three times that of normal driving. The combined resistance of the wiring, internal resistance of the battery, and the controller's field-effect transistors, along with high-current discharge, causes significant voltage fluctuations. 2. Charging duration: Battery self-discharge. Some users do not ride their electric vehicles immediately after fully charging them, leaving the vehicle unused for several days without timely recharging. 3. Damp wiring: If the electric vehicle is frequently used in rainy or snowy weather, damp wiring could also be a possible reason.

What are the steps for starting a car for the first time?

First, check around the car for any obstacles and inspect the tire pressure. Ensure safety before opening the door and entering the vehicle. Next, check the dashboard. Then, from left to right, inspect the left rearview mirror, and of course, also glance at the dashboard to check the fuel level and whether the headlights are on. After that, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left turn signal, press down the clutch, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, and then slowly release the clutch to start the car while ensuring safety.

What does new energy vehicle quota or regular quota mean?

New energy vehicle quota refers to the eligibility to purchase new energy vehicles, while regular quota refers to the eligibility to purchase either fuel-powered vehicles or new energy vehicles. Regular quota has broader applicability: Entities and individuals holding regular quotas can purchase both conventional fuel-powered vehicles and new energy vehicles. However, those holding new energy vehicle quotas can only purchase new energy vehicles. Scope of new energy vehicles: New energy vehicle models eligible for purchase under the new energy quota are listed in the catalog issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. Currently, this includes only pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Some cities also allow the purchase of range-extended electric vehicles.

What are the techniques for reverse parking in an underground garage?

First, determine if the parking space is 'qualified'. When the front wheels pass the parking space, start turning the steering wheel to make the car move in the direction away from the parking space. Utilize the available width of the passage to tilt the car's position as much as possible. This allows the driver to observe the rear danger points of the vehicle through the rearview mirror. When a 'gap' between your car and the vehicles on both sides is visible in the right rearview mirror, you can adjust the steering wheel to modify the car's reversing trajectory and try to straighten it for parking.
