The Civic is a model under Honda, with body dimensions of 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, 1416mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Dongfeng Honda Civic has a grand and stylish appearance, with smooth body lines, and the hatchback design has undergone significant changes compared to the older model.
I've been driving a Civic for years and have gotten used to dealing with the maintenance light myself. First, don't start the engine, just turn the key to the ON position to power up the dashboard. Then, locate the selection button on the left side of the steering wheel and press it a few times to cycle through the various menu options. When the maintenance option appears on the screen, hold down the selection button for about four to five seconds until you see the reset complete message before releasing. For older Civic models without steering wheel buttons, you'll need to find the small adjustment lever near the dashboard and hold it down to achieve the same effect. Pay close attention to the dashboard indicators during the process to avoid holding the button too long or too short. If the light remains on after resetting, it might be due to incorrect steps or an issue with the car itself. Regular maintenance is crucial, and timely oil changes can extend the engine's lifespan.
