I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered the maintenance light coming on multiple times, especially with common models like the 2018 Haval H6. The reset procedure is actually quite simple, but you need to follow the steps carefully to ensure safety: First, park the car on a level surface and put it in P mode, making sure the surroundings are safe and you're not distracted. Then, without pressing the brake pedal, press the one-touch start button or turn the key to the first position to illuminate the dashboard without starting the engine. Next, use the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to find the menu button, press it to enter the settings options, and scroll through the menu on the dashboard screen to find vehicle maintenance or service settings. Once found, select the maintenance reset option and press the OK button to confirm; the system will prompt whether to proceed, and you press again to confirm. Wait a few seconds, and the light should go off—try starting the car afterward, and if the light doesn't come back on, the reset was successful. Before performing the operation, it's best to check the owner's manual because different configurations may have different menu names, and pressing the wrong settings can cause confusion. After resetting, it's recommended to take a short drive immediately to check if the system is functioning properly—don't wait until the next service to find out the light didn't go off and cause a headache. This is a handy little trick for routine maintenance, saving you a trip to the dealership.

How to Maintain a Car Purchased in Another City?

You can maintain a car purchased in another city locally. Regardless of where the car was purchased, you can go to the manufacturer's 4S stores nationwide for warranty and maintenance. As for some 4S stores charging customers a non-local management fee, this is not in compliance with regulations. If they insist on charging, you can call the manufacturer's 400 toll-free number to file a complaint. Below is additional information: 1. If you purchase a car in another city and there is no 4S store locally, here are some solutions for future maintenance: When purchasing a car in another city, you should take the free oil and oil filter provided by the 4S store where you picked up the car with you. This will help reduce future maintenance costs to some extent. 2. Relevant regulations: Within 60 days from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers of driving (whichever comes first), if there are quality issues with the main components of the engine or transmission, the consumer can choose to replace the engine or transmission for free. The types of main components of the engine and transmission are specified by the producer on the warranty certificate.

What are the rules for overtaking on highways?

Highway overtaking rules are as follows: 1. Lane introduction: On highways with two lanes on one side, the outer (right) lane is the driving lane, and the inner (left) lane is the overtaking lane. On highways with three lanes on one side, the outer lane is the driving lane, the middle lane is the first overtaking lane, and the inner lane is the second overtaking lane. Similar to regular roads, faster vehicles overtake from the inner lane, while slower vehicles keep to the right. 2. Overtaking signal: When overtaking, pay attention to the overtaking lane early and confirm there are no merging vehicles before signaling the intention to overtake. 3. Steering wheel control: When changing lanes, avoid sudden steering. Gradually move towards the left lane marking while smoothly turning the steering wheel to accelerate into the overtaking lane with a larger trajectory. This is especially important in rainy conditions to prevent vehicle skidding. 4. Focus: Once in the overtaking lane, avoid delays and concentrate on completing the maneuver efficiently. If other vehicles are also overtaking, maintain a safe distance. 5. Returning to the driving lane: Before moving back to the original driving lane, use the rearview mirror to confirm the position of the overtaken vehicle and ensure a sufficient safety distance. After signaling for at least 3 seconds, smoothly steer back into the driving lane.

Does reversing in D gear on a slope damage the car?

Reversing in D gear on a slope is bad for the car's transmission, and there is also a risk of hitting the vehicle behind, which is unsafe. Starting on a slope with an automatic transmission is not entirely automatic. When the automatic transmission car is in D gear and the brake is released, there is a certain forward torque, and the movement is stopped by the brake. After releasing, the car will gradually start, so it will not reverse on gentle slopes. However, on steep slopes, the idle forward torque cannot sustain the weight of the car, and it will definitely reverse. Therefore, the method for starting on a slope is to accelerate immediately after releasing the brake, which can stop the car from reversing and move forward when the car reverses only slightly. Here is more information: 1. Stalling in D gear on a slope is because the slope is too steep, and the D gear transmission ratio is insufficient. In this case, it needs to be placed in 2nd gear or even 1st gear. 2. At this time, the transmission has a low gear ratio and high torque, which can overcome the weight of the car on a steep slope, maintain the engine speed, and keep it running without stalling.

How many years until an operational vehicle is scrapped for a sedan?

Small and mini operational passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 10 years, while large and medium-sized operational passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 15 years. Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles are used for 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles for 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles for 12 years. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Vehicle scrappage period: The vehicle scrappage period refers to a safety inspection system based on the number of seats and the duration of use for vehicles. It is stipulated that small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles have no usage period restrictions. 2. Starting date of the period: The starting date of the vehicle usage period is calculated based on the registration date. However, if the registration procedure is not completed within 2 years from the date of manufacture, the manufacture date is used. Vehicles nearing 1 year before scrappage cannot be transferred or altered. If a vehicle is to be transferred or altered, the usage period and scrappage should be determined according to the following relevant requirements.

What to Do If Wrong Information is Filled in New Car License Plate Selection?

If incorrect information is filled in during the new car license plate selection process, the name cannot be modified. Online selection only allows modification of the ID card number. In such cases, you can only wait for the current selection period to expire and then re-select, or directly visit the vehicle management office. Attempting to select online again may be considered as malicious occupation of license plate resources, prohibiting further selection. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Information Verification: The vehicle owner must carefully verify and accurately enter the ID number, vehicle identification number, and other relevant information. If the entered information does not match the relevant certificates, the selected license plate number will be invalid. 2. Successful Reservation: After successfully pre-selecting a license plate number, the number will be reserved for five working days (extended during holidays and weekends). If not processed within this period, the selected number will become invalid. During this time, vehicles that have successfully selected a license plate number online are not allowed to select again or modify information via the internet. 3. Processing the Application: Due to restrictions in the vehicle transfer registration process, if a license plate number is successfully pre-selected for a transfer-registered vehicle, the owner must apply at the vehicle management office within two working days. Otherwise, the office will not accept the application after the deadline.

Where is the cigarette lighter located in the old Buick GL8?

The cigarette lighter in the old Buick GL8 is located next to the center console cup holder. Press the handle, and the cigarette lighter will start heating. Cigarette lighter voltage in cars: The voltage is 12 volts, and the general current for a cigarette lighter is 10 amperes. The maximum power is 120 watts. The cigarette lighter socket can also be expanded to a USB interface, allowing for charging mobile phones simultaneously. The cigarette lighter is a standard component in all cars, providing a convenient fire source for drivers who smoke. Essentially, a cigarette lighter is a device used for lighting cigarettes. Precautions for using car cigarette lighters: Be sure not to exceed the maximum load of the cigarette lighter. Avoid overloading electrical devices and drawing power when the engine is off. When using a car inverter, the output through the cigarette lighter typically comes in power specifications such as 20 watts, 40 watts, 80 watts, 120 watts, and 150 watts. It's advisable not to exceed 120 watts for the maximum power of the electrical device. Do not continue to draw power from the cigarette lighter socket when the vehicle is turned off, as this can easily deplete the battery, making it impossible to restart the car. If the power of the car electrical device is too high and causes a circuit overload, the battery may be damaged.
