Method to reset the maintenance light on Borgward BX5: After powering on without starting the car, press and hold the middle scroll wheel on the right side until the screen displays "Maintenance Reset." The Borgward BX5 is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4490mm in length, 1877mm in width, and 1675mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2685mm. In terms of interior, this car features a more concise and youthful design, adopting an eagle-wing-style cockpit layout. The simple instrument panel uses a traditional symmetrical design, with a floating intelligent touch control center screen and a 4.2-inch multifunctional LCD display in the center.

I just reset the maintenance light on my Borgward BX5, super easy! Remember, don't start the engine, sit in the car with the engine off, hold down the TRIP button on the dashboard, turn the key to the ON position, wait for three to five seconds, and when you see the wrench icon flash and then go off, let go. Resetting the maintenance light reminds us to service the car on time to avoid engine problems, especially since city traffic jams consume more fuel. Regularly changing the oil and such can extend the car's lifespan and make driving much smoother. Doing it yourself saves hundreds at the shop, hassle-free and cost-effective. But if it doesn't work, don't worry, check the owner's manual for the exact button location, or have the mechanic do it during the next service. In short, it's a quick few-minute job—don't let it keep flashing and ruin your driving mood.

I previously reset the maintenance light on my Borgward BX5 myself, and it felt really convenient. The method is to first turn off the car, turn the ignition key to the ACC position without starting the engine, then press and hold the TRIP reset button for a few seconds until the light goes off. The maintenance light comes on to remind you to change the oil and check the chassis. Ignoring it for too long can damage the car, so it's best to service it every six months. In practice, some people press the wrong button, causing the light to come on repeatedly. I recommend waiting patiently for the system to respond and not messing around. Paying attention to the vehicle's condition regularly can prevent major repairs, saving money and ensuring safety. If this trick doesn't work, it might be a minor sensor issue, and it's safer to have it checked at a professional shop. Regularly monitoring your car's condition is much more cost-effective than dealing with major repairs later.

How to Install License Plate Screws on a Car?

To install license plate screws on a car, follow these steps: 1. After receiving the license plate, you will usually get two packs of professional screws for installation. Insert the screws into the holes by rotating them, making sure not to insert them upside down. 2. Take out the car license plate and position it correctly by hand, ensuring the left and right distances are as equal as possible for symmetry and aesthetics. Also, make sure the four screw holes on the license plate align with the four holes on the bumper. 3. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver, then gently press the anti-theft caps into place. These caps are one-time use and cannot be removed once pressed in.

How to Use Car Air Conditioning Correctly?

Correct methods for using car air conditioning are: 1. Turn on the AC switch and adjust the air vent selection knob. When cooling, direct the vents upward; when heating, direct them downward. 2. Adjust the fan speed switch. At low speeds, set the fan to a low gear to avoid insufficient power generation and cooling. 3. Adjust the air recirculation mode. Upon entering the car, first open the windows for ventilation and activate the external circulation to expel hot air. Switch to internal circulation once the cabin temperature drops. 4. Adjust the temperature control knob. Car air conditioning refers to the climate control system installed in vehicles, which cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the cabin air, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and enhancing driving safety.

How to Clean a Car Radiator?

Cleaning a car radiator involves the following steps: 1. Remove the front grille mesh, then dismantle the hood lock assembly in the middle to fully expose the condenser; 2. Use an air gun to blow away debris like fluff and loose dust—ideally, clean from inside the engine compartment outward if possible; 3. Rinse with water, preferably at a professional car wash facility for expert cleaning. The car radiator is a critical component of water-cooled engines, serving as a key part of the cooling circuit that absorbs heat from the engine block to prevent overheating.

How Often Should CVT Fluid Be Changed?

CVT fluid should be changed every 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. Over time, the transmission fluid becomes dirty and its viscosity decreases, which compromises its ability to protect the transmission. This can lead to symptoms such as rough shifting, abnormal acceleration, increased noise, and in severe cases, premature transmission failure, shortening the transmission's lifespan. Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) allow for a continuous change in the gear ratio, ensuring optimal matching between the drivetrain and engine conditions. This improves the vehicle's fuel efficiency and power performance while enhancing the driver's ease of operation and passenger comfort.

Why won't the car start after being parked for 6 days?

If a car won't start after being parked for 6 days, it is likely due to insufficient battery power, excessive carbon buildup in the idle motor, intake tract, intake valves, and combustion chamber; or it could be caused by issues with the fuel injectors, such as leaks or excessive carbon deposits, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture during startup and preventing the engine from starting. It is advisable to promptly contact a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection and maintenance. Leaving a car unused for extended periods not only results in starting issues but also causes damage to the exterior paint. Long-term outdoor parking exposes the vehicle to wind, rain, and sunlight, and without regular maintenance, the paint surface can become corroded and oxidized. Therefore, when parking the vehicle for an extended time, it is recommended to cover it or park it in a cool, dry place, and perform regular maintenance.

What are the basic components of a car body structure?

The basic structure of a car body consists of the body shell, doors, windows, front sheet metal components, interior and exterior trim parts, body accessories, seats, as well as ventilation, heating, air conditioning, and climate control systems. The body shell serves as the mounting foundation for all body components and typically refers to the rigid spatial structure formed by major load-bearing elements such as longitudinal beams, cross members, pillars, and their connected sheet metal parts. Doors are mounted on the body shell via hinges and feature complex structures, playing a crucial role in ensuring the functional performance of the vehicle body. These sheet metal components form the spaces that accommodate the engine, wheels, and other parts.
