Turn on the ignition switch, at which point the dashboard will display the message "Maintenance Required." Press and hold the left button on the multifunction steering wheel for 3 seconds to clear the maintenance light. Below is information about the Great Wall M4: 1. In terms of appearance, the Refine has been redesigned with noticeable changes to the front and rear styling. The new model's grille incorporates curved lines, differing significantly from the old model's inverted trapezoid shape, and features more rounded headlights. 2. The rear of the Jianghuai New Refine has been altered, with the current model's vertical tail lights replaced by a horizontal split design, integrating the license plate area with the tail light lines. Additionally, the new model upgrades from 15-inch to 17-inch wheels, enhancing stability and giving a more premium look. 3. The interior of the new model features a light color scheme with wood grain trim and leather seats. 4. Both the driver and front passenger seats now include heating functions, along with added small features like dual cup holders, a cigarette lighter, reading lights, and a coat hook. The vehicle's power outlet is conveniently placed near the middle row for charging laptops, phones, and other office-related items. The front seats' DVD headrest screens allow rear passengers to watch DVDs.

I've been driving my Great Wall M4 for quite a few years now, and resetting the maintenance light is a routine task. When that little wrench icon lights up, it's time to take action. The steps are pretty straightforward: First, park the car and turn off the engine, making sure it's completely shut down. Insert the key and turn it to the ACC position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start). Then, press and hold the mileage reset button or a similar control button on the left side of the dashboard—don't let go. Hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance light blink a few times before turning off. Release the button, and you're done. This process is simple but important because it resets the countdown for the next maintenance interval. If you don't reset it, you might end up changing the oil too early and wasting money, or worse, overlooking a real issue. I do this after every quarterly maintenance and recommend checking your manual for model-specific details, as button locations might vary slightly between different batches. In short, taking a moment to do this keeps your car running smoothly and minimizes mistakes.

As a young car owner driving a Great Wall M4, I'm used to resetting the maintenance light myself. Here's the straightforward method: Get in the car and close the door, turn the key to the ON position to illuminate all dashboard indicators. Locate the small wrench symbol - this is typically the core reminder light. Then press and hold a button near the steering wheel (like the trip reset button) for several seconds until the light dims and disappears. When I do it myself, I use my phone's timer - about 5 seconds usually does the trick. Get it done quickly right after maintenance to avoid forgetting. Search for tutorial videos online for assistance - it's quite fun and you can share experiences with friends. But pay attention to different button combinations for various model years - when unsure, check the user manual or download a guide app. Important safety note: Make sure the car is parked securely before doing this to avoid any hazards.

What do the approach angle and departure angle of a car mean?

Approach angle refers to the angle between the ground and the tangent line drawn from the foremost protruding point of the car to the front wheel when the car is fully loaded and stationary. Departure angle refers to the angle between the road surface and the tangent line drawn from the rearmost protruding point of the car to the rear wheel when the car is fully loaded and stationary. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Approach angle: The approach angle is the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and the plane tangent to the outer edge of the front wheel tire (under static load). Any rigid component fixed to the vehicle in front of the front axle must not be below this plane. The larger the approach angle, the less likely the car is to have a contact accident when boarding or disembarking a ferry or during off-road driving, and the better the car's passing performance. 2. Departure angle: The departure angle refers to the angle between the road surface and the tangent line drawn from the rearmost protruding point of the car to the rear wheel when the car is fully loaded and stationary, that is, the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and the plane tangent to the outer edge of the rearmost wheel tire (under static load). Any rigid component fixed to the vehicle behind the rearmost wheel must not be below this plane. It characterizes the car's ability to avoid collision when leaving obstacles (such as hills, ditches, etc.). The larger the departure angle, the better the car's passing performance.

What problems may occur after a vehicle wades through water?

Problems that may occur after a vehicle wades through water include: 1. Residual water can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully contacting, causing loss of braking power; 2. Rainwater on roads tends to be dirty with debris like fallen leaves, which can easily adhere to chassis gaps and cause rust; 3. If headlight covers aren't well sealed, water can enter during wading, creating condensation inside that affects light projection; 4. The engine compartment contains numerous wiring harnesses and circuits that may get wet during wading. If interfaces are found wet, immediate drying is necessary to prevent short circuits.

At how many kilometers does a vehicle require a major maintenance service?

Vehicles require a major maintenance service every 40,000 kilometers. Routine maintenance items include: replacement of engine oil and oil filter. The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear; the oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the oil, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the oil during an oil change. The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the operating environment. The gasoline filter is typically replaced after driving 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers.

How to Deal with Coolant Leakage from the Radiator?

Methods for handling coolant leakage from the radiator: It is recommended to use a specialized radiator pressure tester for inspection. Pressure must be applied to the engine cooling system to detect leaks. If significant leakage is found, the damaged components need to be replaced. After replacement, use the radiator pressure tester again to pressurize the radiator and check for any additional leaks. Coolant is a liquid with antifreeze properties, serving the functions of antifreeze and cooling—preventing freezing in winter, overheating in summer, and protecting against scale, rust, and corrosion year-round. Ordinary coolant can have a freezing point as low as -40°C or even -60°C, safeguarding the engine's cooling system under extremely cold conditions.

What Causes Transmission Overheating?

The causes of transmission overheating include: 1. High engine and coolant temperatures affecting transmission cooling; 2. Clogged radiator grille; 3. Transmission clutch slippage generating additional heat; 4. Insufficient flow in the transmission cooling oil circuit; 5. Thermostat sticking. Note: 90% of transmission failures are caused by high temperatures. Transmission overheating often shows no obvious symptoms during use, but prolonged high temperatures can lead to aging of internal seals, brittleness of plastic components, reduced lubricating performance of the fluid, and shortened lifespan of electrical components. It is essential to regularly measure transmission fluid temperature and address any issues promptly.
