I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy for about seven or eight years, and I often reset the maintenance light myself. The method is quite simple: first, turn off the engine, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Next, press and hold the TRIP button on the steering wheel or the ODO button near the instrument panel, wait patiently for about 10 seconds, and watch as the maintenance light flashes a few times before turning off—that's it. The first time I didn't know how to do it, so I went to the dealership to have them reset it, which cost me money and time. But once I learned how, I found it really convenient. This little feature in the car is meant to remind you to service it on time, so after resetting it, don’t forget to actually get the service done—otherwise, the car could develop problems. Over the years of driving, I’ve developed a habit of handling small tasks myself, saving both money and hassle. Just check the owner’s manual to confirm the button locations—it’s not complicated at all.

Does the throttle need cleaning at 20,000 kilometers?

Cleaning the throttle refers to removing carbon deposits on it. It only needs cleaning when there are carbon deposits; if there are none, cleaning is naturally unnecessary. Therefore, there is no specific mileage requirement for throttle cleaning, unlike oil changes which have a set mileage interval. Whether cleaning is needed depends on the actual situation. Below is some relevant information about the throttle: 1. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce power. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, earning it the nickname "the throat of the car engine." 2. The throttle is one of the most important components in today's electronic fuel injection engine systems. Its upper part connects to the air filter, and its lower part connects to the engine block, making it the throat of the car engine. The responsiveness of acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle. Cleaning the throttle can reduce fuel consumption and make the engine more agile and powerful.

Does Applying the Electronic Parking Brake in D Gear Cause Damage?

It is possible to apply the electronic parking brake while in D gear. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The reasons for brake noise without pressing the brake pedal are as follows: 1. Use of inferior or overly hard brake pads: If inferior or overly hard brake pads are used, they will produce a squeaking noise when rubbing against the brake disc during braking. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality brake pads when replacing them. 2. Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pads and brake disc: During normal driving, it is inevitable to pass through some complex road conditions. Due to the unique design of disc brakes, some sand and foreign objects may get between the brake pads and the brake disc, which can also cause noise during braking.

What are the consequences of water ingress in an electric power steering system?

Water ingress in an electric power steering system can cause the steering wheel to become heavy. Over time, severe cases may result in the steering wheel locking up. If this occurs while driving, the consequences can be serious, posing a high risk of danger. It is recommended to seek timely inspection and repair at a 4S shop. There are three common types of power steering systems: 1. Mechanical hydraulic power steering: The main components of this system include a hydraulic pump, oil pipes, pressure fluid control valve, V-belt, and oil reservoir. This method converts part of the engine's power output into hydraulic pump pressure to provide auxiliary force to the steering system, thereby enabling tire steering. 2. Electro-hydraulic power steering: In this system, the steering oil pump is no longer directly driven by the engine but by an electric motor. Additionally, an electronic control system is added, making the steering assist force not only related to the steering angle but also to the vehicle speed. 3. Electric power steering: This system directly provides steering assistance through an electric motor, eliminating the need for components such as the power steering oil pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and pulley mounted on the engine. It saves energy and is environmentally friendly.

What does 'including license plate registration' mean?

Purchasing a car with 'including license plate registration' means that the 4S dealership assists in handling the license plate registration. More details about 4S dealership license plate registration are as follows: 1. Bundled license plate registration by 4S dealerships: The most obvious issue is that it infringes on consumers' right to freely choose services. Whether to entrust the 4S dealership to register the license plate for the purchased vehicle should be based on the consumer's voluntary decision. 4S dealerships charging consumers a license plate registration fee in a bundled manner constitutes forced consumption. 2. License plate registration fee: The fee given to the vehicle management office for license plate registration and the new car sales service fee are two separate matters. 4S dealerships simplifying the license plate registration service fee as 'license plate registration fee' contains misleading elements. Therefore, lawyers advise consumers that when negotiating the car price with a 4S dealership, they should clarify each price component, such as the base car price, decoration fees, insurance fees, and license plate registration agency fees. If the 4S dealership only provides a lump-sum price, consumers have the right to refuse the service.
