Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the trip meter reset button, then turn on the ignition switch. The mileage display will begin counting down. When the display shows "=0", release the button, and the wrench-shaped maintenance indicator light will turn off, indicating the reset is complete. Do not disconnect the battery cable immediately after the reset operation. If necessary, lock the vehicle and wait for 5 minutes to allow the reset operation to take effect before proceeding. The Fengguang ix5 is equipped with a 1.5T engine, model SFG15T. Below are the relevant details: 1. Engine: The SFG15T engine has an actual displacement of 1498ml, with 4 cylinders arranged in an L formation, and features turbocharged intake. The SFG15T engine reaches its maximum power at 5600 RPM and maximum torque at 4000 RPM, with a DOHC valve train. 2. Output Power: The low-power version of the 1.5T engine has a maximum output of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 220 N·m, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km as published by the MIIT. The high-power version of the 1.5T engine has a maximum output of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 270 N·m, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.2L/100km as published by the MIIT.

I usually drive a Dongfeng Fengguang ix5, and I've done the maintenance light reset quite a few times. The process is pretty simple: First, turn off the engine, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine—the dashboard will light up. Next, find the TRIP button near the steering wheel or on the dashboard, press and hold it for about ten seconds, and the maintenance light will start flashing and then turn off, successfully reset. Remember, always do this after an oil change or proper maintenance, or the light might mislead you into thinking there's a problem with the car. Don’t skip maintenance—engine repairs due to wear are much more expensive. I recommend car owners regularly check their maintenance records, and the manual also has specific guidelines, but for the ix5, this method usually works. Doing it yourself saves a lot of money and is convenient.

What materials are needed for renewing a driver's license after expiration?

To renew a driver's license after expiration, you need to prepare two one-inch photos, a medical examination certificate, your ID card, and the original driver's license. One of the photos should be affixed to the top right corner of the medical examination form, while the other will be used for the new license. Then, bring your ID card and driver's license to the licensing hall, fill out the renewal application form, submit the documents along with the medical examination certificate and renewal application form to the staff, pay the fee, and wait to receive your new license. Before renewing, check if there are any outstanding traffic violations. If there are, they must be resolved first; otherwise, the vehicle management office cannot process the renewal. You can start the renewal process up to 90 days in advance. It's important to schedule the renewal properly to ensure it's completed before the original license expires. Typically, the renewal is processed on the spot, but in some cities, it may take a few days to complete the necessary procedures. Once done, you will be notified to collect your new driver's license.

Does a Spare Tire Well Belong to a Salvage Car?

A spare tire well does not belong to a salvage car. Only if the damage to these parts causes severe impairment to the car's performance can it be considered a salvage car; otherwise, it is not classified as such. Definition of a Salvage Car: A salvage car refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage due to non-natural wear accidents, resulting in a decline in mechanical performance and economic value. Generally, a "salvage car" refers to a vehicle with structural damage. Additionally, water-damaged cars and fire-damaged cars fall under the category of "special salvage cars." Methods to Check for Rear-End Collisions: Minor rear-end collisions are one of the common accidents during vehicle operation. To check for rear-end collision history, open the engine hood and inspect the edge seals of the hood for smoothness and firmness. If the seals are uneven or feel soft to the touch, it indicates that the hood has been repaired.

Do vehicles with automatic headlights need to turn on low beams at night?

Vehicles with automatic headlights do not need to turn on low beams at night. Reasons for not needing to turn on high beams: When the light control lever is set to automatic headlights, the vehicle will automatically turn the low beams on or off based on the surrounding light conditions. Therefore, when the lights are in the AUTO position, there is no need to manually turn on the low beams. How to use car headlights: Turning the switch to the 1st position (AUTO) enables automatic mode, the 3rd position turns on the headlights, pulling the switch toward the steering wheel activates the high beam flash (for signaling), and pushing it in the opposite direction (downward) turns on the high beams. The headlights and parking lights will automatically turn on when there is insufficient light, and the 2nd position turns on the parking lights (position lights). As the eyes of the car, automatic headlights are not only related to the external image of the owner but also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions.
