I remember one time the maintenance light on my Brilliance Zhonghua came on while I was rushing to work. I thought going to the 4S shop would be too troublesome, so I decided to handle it myself. The process was quite simple: first, turn the car key to the ON position without starting the engine, then locate the small TRIP button on the dashboard, press and hold it for about ten seconds, and the light would turn off by itself. After finishing, I restarted the car to confirm it was gone, saving me hundreds in labor costs. This light is a system reminder that it's time to change the oil or check the brakes. Never just clear it and ignore the issue, or it could lead to serious vehicle malfunctions next time. I suggest that regular maintenance should never be taken lightly.

If you enjoy DIY car maintenance, resetting the maintenance light is a breeze. Simply turn the key to the ACC position, hold down the trip reset button for 10-15 seconds until the light goes off—done! I do this regularly, and it takes less than a minute, saving me from false alarms that could ruin my drive. But remember: the light is your car’s health reminder. Resetting it only clears the mileage counter, so always check the manual for scheduled upkeep—especially for filters or fluids—to stay safe on the road.

The maintenance light coming on is a warning signal, and simply resetting it without addressing the underlying issue carries significant risks. Having driven a Brilliance Auto for many years, my method is to place the key in the ON position, press the TRIP button, and wait for the reset. Avoid rushing to start the engine; just wait for the light to go off. Once completed, immediately schedule a comprehensive inspection to ensure there are no hidden issues with the tires or engine oil. The light is designed to prevent accidents—I’ve seen others ignore it and end up paying hefty repair costs later. Safety first: resetting plus proper maintenance is the wise approach.

What are the hazards of glazing?

After a vehicle undergoes glazing treatment, other beauty treatments cannot be used to protect the paint surface, and only glazing can be continuously applied. Explanation: Glazing involves covering the car's paint surface with a layer of glaze, whose main components are derived from petroleum. Through the high-speed vibration and friction of a polishing machine, the glaze penetrates into the paint to form a protective layer, effectively safeguarding the paint. Benefits of glazing: The non-stick properties of glaze make the paint surface less prone to contamination, keeping it clean. After glazing, the glaze layer increases the hardness and brightness of the paint surface, effectively protecting it from minor scratches. It also provides some resistance to temperature effects on the paint, along with UV protection, acid rain resistance, oxidation resistance, anti-static properties, corrosion resistance, and wash durability. It effectively reduces the roughness of the paint surface, minimizes friction with the external environment, and better protects the paint.

Can Motorcycle Tubeless Tires Get Damaged?

Tubeless tires won't leak air as long as puncturing objects are not removed. Advantages and disadvantages of tubeless tires: Tubeless tires are more durable than traditional pneumatic tires, making them more suitable for long-distance and high-speed driving. They offer better dynamic balance performance and improved driving comfort. However, poor quality, damaged tire casings, weak sidewalls, and low lateral tolerance can lead to reduced load capacity, potentially causing some tires to lose air suddenly. Tubeless tires: Except when punctured, tubeless tires generally do not deflate on their own. Therefore, it's essential to use a pressure gauge to check and maintain the required pressure during inflation, rather than relying on the feel of regular tires to determine if inflation is needed. The chassis is specifically designed to accommodate jacks and clamps in appropriate positions. Then, by using a torque wrench in a counterclockwise direction, the nuts can be loosened at an angle to replace the tire. When using sharp objects with tube tires, avoid punctures, stabs, and contact with acids, alkalis, or oil stains, as these can accelerate rubber degradation.

Why does the automatic transmission keep staying in third gear?

It may be caused by internal failure of the gear shift assembly preventing gear engagement. Transmission module abnormality: This could be due to a malfunction in the transmission's internal control module. Another possible cause is a faulty gear position switch in the transmission. While depressing the clutch pedal again, quickly shift the transmission into a lower gear (these two actions should be performed simultaneously). As you press the accelerator pedal, slightly faster lift the clutch pedal. Shifting techniques: Avoid incomplete gear shifting - forcing the gear lever when shifting incompletely can easily damage gears. This not only damages components but may also lead to vehicle accidents. After moving the gear lever to neutral, avoid rocking it back and forth. Many people habitually rock the gear lever after shifting to neutral, unaware that the unstable neutral position can cause wear on components like shift forks.

Do You Need to Replace the Oil Filter When Changing Motorcycle Oil?

Replacing the oil filter is not mandatory when changing motorcycle oil. Oil Filter: The oil filter, also known as the oil filter element, does not need replacement if it uses a mesh screen. The oil filter is designed to remove impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot from the oil, thereby protecting the engine. Oil filters can be categorized into full-flow and bypass types. A full-flow filter is connected in series between the oil pump and the main oil passage, filtering all the lubricating oil entering the main passage. A bypass filter, on the other hand, is connected in parallel with the main oil passage and only filters a portion of the oil delivered by the pump. Cleaning and Replacement Intervals: The air filter should be cleaned or replaced based on the motorcycle model and road conditions. For scooters, it is recommended to clean the filter every 1,000 kilometers and replace it every 3,000 kilometers. If road conditions are poor, these intervals should be shorter. For standard motorcycles, cleaning is generally required every 5,000 kilometers, making maintenance more convenient.

What is the speed limit during heavy rain?

When driving in rainy conditions, the speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour. Damage to the vehicle body: Driving in heavy rain can cause damage to the vehicle. After being soaked in the rain, water not only remains on the surface of the vehicle but also seeps into the gaps beneath the body. While driving in the rain, mud and dirt from the road can also splash into these gaps. When rainwater mixes with this dirt, it forms sticky residues that adhere to the gaps and hide in hard-to-reach areas. If not cleaned properly, this can lead to rust on the vehicle body. Engine stalling in the rain: If the car stalls while driving in the rain, do not attempt to restart it immediately. If the water level has submerged the exhaust pipe when the car stalls in water, restarting the engine can cause water to be sucked into the engine, leading to hydro-lock and severe engine damage. In such cases, the engine may need to be replaced entirely rather than repaired. Always remember: if the car stalls in water, do not attempt to restart it a second time.

What is the problem when the Geely Boyue suddenly stalls and fails to start?

Geely Boyue fails to start possibly due to damaged spark plugs. Battery dead or faulty: In low temperatures, the battery's output power decreases due to increased electrolyte viscosity, reduced permeability, and heightened resistance, making it difficult for the starter to drag the engine and reach the minimum starting speed, affecting engine ignition. Check the battery voltage with a multimeter or directly test with a new battery. Insufficient fuel: Discovering no fuel in the car due to incorrect dashboard display. Some vehicles have inaccurate fuel gauge pointers; when the fuel warning light comes on, promptly add fuel. Otherwise, the vehicle may struggle to start, especially in winter when temperatures are very low. You can press the fuel pipe while starting to feel for fuel pressure.
