The maintenance reminder for the VV7 cannot be reset manually. It can only be cleared by connecting professional equipment to the vehicle's computer. It is recommended to visit a 4S dealership for maintenance, where a professional technician can use specialized equipment to reset the reminder. The first maintenance for the VV7 is due at 5,000 kilometers, and subsequent maintenance should be performed every 7,500 kilometers. It is important to record the mileage at each maintenance to avoid significant deviations in the maintenance cycle, which could affect the overall performance of the vehicle. The VV7 is a mid-size luxury SUV under the WEY brand, a subsidiary of Great Wall Motors. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4,760 mm in length, 1,931 mm in width, and 1,655 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm.

Wow, the maintenance reminder on this VV7 always gives me a startle. As a parent who commutes with this car daily, let me share my usual method to reset it. First, sit in the driver's seat without pressing the brake, then press the start button to power on the car (dashboard lights up, but don't start the engine). Next, use the down arrow button on the left side of the steering wheel to scroll through the menu, enter vehicle settings, find the maintenance reminder option, and press confirm to reset. The whole process takes less than a minute and is super simple. After resetting, the maintenance warning light turns off, which feels reassuring. But remember, this just clears the reminder – it doesn't mean you can skip maintenance. It's crucial to visit the 4S店 promptly to check engine oil, brakes, tires, etc., ensuring your car lasts long and doesn't leave you stranded. For example, my VV7 gets serviced every six months, and now with 80,000 kilometers on it, it still runs like new – safe and worry-free.

As a DIY-loving young owner of a VV7, I'm quite adept at clearing maintenance reminders. The process is straightforward: first, power up the car to ACC mode by pressing the start button without stepping on the brake until the dashboard lights up completely. Then, use the steering wheel controls to locate the dashboard settings or navigate via the central screen to select maintenance reset for the service information—just confirm, and it's done. The reminder disappears instantly after resetting, super convenient. However, don't forget this only clears the display; you still need to schedule timely checks for engine oil, filters, and coolant. Don't risk saving time at the expense of part wear—it's not worth it. Regular maintenance keeps your car running smoothly.

Having been in the maintenance industry for a long time, I've seen too many cases of VV7 maintenance reminder resets following basically the same steps. I recommend first safely parking the car, then pressing the start button without stepping on the brake to power it to the ACC state. Then, use the menu button on the steering wheel to switch to the settings option, find the maintenance reminder in the vehicle information, select the reset command, execute and confirm to complete the process. After resetting, the mileage will be reset and the warning light will go off—the whole process takes just over ten seconds. Of course, this is only a temporary solution; regular maintenance is more important. Otherwise, oil issues or engine failure could lead to major repairs. Don't handle it carelessly; arrange timely maintenance to extend the vehicle's lifespan.

As a careful housewife commuting in a VV7, I always clear the maintenance reminder when it pops up, but don't panic—it's quite simple. Sit in the car without starting the engine, just power it on by pressing the start button (without pressing the brake pedal) until the dashboard lights up. Then, use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel to navigate the menu, enter the settings, select the maintenance reset option under vehicle status, and press the OK button lightly—done! Easy and safe. After resetting, I immediately note it down as a reminder to visit the 4S store for maintenance, checking the brakes and tires to ensure safe travels. A well-maintained car drives more comfortably, so don't skip regular inspections just to save trouble.

Where is the towing hook located on the Geely Boyue?

Geely Boyue's towing hook is located on the rear bumper. Remove the hidden cover, screw in the towing hook, and then attach the tow rope for towing. Prefer using a tow bar: If the vehicle behind has braking issues or needs towing on icy/snowy roads, a tow bar should be prioritized. A rigid tow bar prevents the towed vehicle from losing control and colliding with the towing vehicle in case of sudden braking or excessive pulling. Even under normal conditions, using a tow bar is safer. Choose the appropriate towing hook: The towing hook must not only 'hook' properly but also be securely fastened. Ensure the hook is firmly attached and double-check its stability before towing.

What is the rubber strip on the car door frame called?

The rubber strip on the car door frame is called the door sealing strip. It is a product that seals the car door, making it harder to open, and serves functions such as shock absorption, waterproofing, sound insulation, heat insulation, dust prevention, and fixation. Extended information: Functions: Mainly applied to door panels, door frames, side windows, front and rear windshields, engine hoods, and trunk lids, serving purposes in waterproofing, dust prevention, sound insulation, temperature insulation, shock absorption, and decoration. Composition: The door sealing system mainly targets two areas. One is the sealing of the door opening area, which relies primarily on an inner door sealing strip installed around the flanged edge of the side door opening or an outer door sealing strip installed around the door to seal the entire door opening. Some car models have both sealing strips, while others only have one. Different car models choose the sealing strategy based on performance requirements or cost objectives.

Can the heater be turned on while charging a new energy vehicle?

It is possible to turn on the heater while charging a new energy vehicle, but it is generally not recommended. Using the air conditioning during charging increases the internal charge load on the battery, causing the battery pack to continue working before it is fully charged. This accelerates the degradation rate of the power battery pack. Moreover, during the charging process, new energy vehicles typically operate under stable voltage and current conditions. However, using high-power appliances like the air conditioning requires higher voltage, which can lead to unstable current and negatively affect charging efficiency. Additionally, the battery capacity of a new energy vehicle's power battery pack is fixed during charging. If the air conditioning is used, it will continuously consume power, thereby prolonging the overall charging time. More importantly, using electrical appliances in the vehicle during charging accelerates the reaction speed of the battery's internal materials due to the current flow in the cycle. This speeds up battery degradation, and simultaneous charging and discharging can exacerbate battery aging and potentially increase the risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, although most pure electric vehicles currently allow the air conditioning to be used while charging, it is advisable to minimize simultaneous charging and discharging to prolong the battery's lifespan.

How many seconds does it take for a car to run 100 meters?

100-meter acceleration is a test of the car's engine power. An average car takes about 8 seconds to cover 100 meters, while a supercar typically takes only 3 seconds. Additional information: Maximum speed: The maximum speed refers to the highest driving speed a car can achieve on a level and well-paved road (concrete or asphalt). It is the speed at which the driving resistance and driving force are balanced under windless conditions on a flat road, and it is one of the three evaluation indicators of a car's dynamic performance. Influencing factors: There are many factors that affect a car's maximum speed, such as the engine's power, maximum torque, rotational speed at maximum torque, transmission ratio, and driving resistance. The maximum speed is measured on a flat and windless road with zero acceleration, so gradient resistance and acceleration are zero. Therefore, the main resistance factors affecting the maximum speed are air resistance and rolling resistance.

What are the regulations for vehicle annual inspection?

Vehicle annual inspection regulations are as follows: For passenger cars and blue-license-plate minivans, within the first six years after new vehicle registration, inspection is required every two years; after six years, it becomes an annual inspection; after ten years, inspection is required once a year, and after fifteen years, twice a year. For trucks, after registration, annual inspection is required, and after ten years, inspection is required twice a year. The documents required for vehicle annual inspection include: the vehicle's driving license, valid compulsory insurance policy, and vehicle and vessel tax. Below is additional information: New regulations: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial vehicles (excluding minivans) aged 6 to 10 years will change from an annual inspection to a biennial inspection. In other words, vehicles within 10 years only need to undergo on-site testing twice, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Important notes: If a vehicle is found by traffic police on the road without annual inspection, the owner may face fines or vehicle impoundment. Additionally, in insurance contracts, vehicles that fail to undergo timely annual inspection are considered unqualified, and no claims will be paid in the event of an accident.

Is Black Residue on Car Exhaust Pipe Normal?

This situation is normal. Typically, the primary fuel for a car is gasoline, and over time, black residue can accumulate on the exhaust pipe. The extent of residue buildup varies significantly among different types of vehicles. Generally, there are three common scenarios: Poor spark plugs: When the car is in a cold-start condition, if the spark plugs are not functioning properly, the air-fuel mixture may not burn completely, resulting in excessive black smoke. Oxygen sensor issues: If the engine has been in use for too long, its performance may degrade, causing the car to inject gasoline without proper air combustion, leading to heavy black smoke. Incorrect ignition timing: This timing discrepancy can prevent oxygen and fuel from fully mixing and burning. Other potential causes include a faulty temperature sensor or clogged fuel injectors. If any of these issues are detected, they should be addressed promptly. Regular maintenance should also pay attention to these problems.
