Changan Benben maintenance indicator light reset method is: 1. With the engine off, hold down the TRIP button and turn the key to the ON position; 2. After 3 seconds, watch the display screen as the maintenance indicator symbol flashes twice, then release the TRIP button without moving the key; 3. Hold down the TRIP button again for 3 seconds until the maintenance light disappears. The Changan Benben features entirely Changan-developed technology from engine to exterior design. Taking the Benben 2018 1.4L manual comfort model as an example: it is equipped with a 1.4L 101hp L4 naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission.

I remember encountering the maintenance reminder light issue years ago when I drove my Changan Benben. This thing always nags you about getting service done, but it drives you crazy if you forget to reset it right after maintenance. The general procedure goes like this: First turn off the engine and remove the key for a few seconds, then insert the key and turn to the accessory position without starting the engine. At this point, press and hold that small button on the instrument cluster - usually the Trip button near the odometer - for 5-10 seconds until the light goes off before releasing. It's a simple DIY operation, no need to waste money at the 4S shop. By the way, the maintenance reminder light is designed to help prolong vehicle lifespan. Regular oil changes and component inspections can reduce major repair risks and maintain stable performance. I've developed a habit of checking the light status every 5,000 km to address issues early, ensuring more worry-free driving by avoiding last-minute problems.

As someone who frequently helps friends with car repairs, I find the maintenance light reset procedure for the Changan Benben quite straightforward. First, park the car and turn off the engine, returning the key to its original position. Then insert the key and turn it one notch to the position where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start. Next, locate the control button near the steering wheel, usually labeled Trip or Reset, press and hold it for about ten seconds until the light flashes and goes off, then release. Note that button positions may vary slightly across different model years—if unsuccessful, try different button combinations or refer to the owner's manual. I recommend checking the electrical circuit stability while you're at it, as some light malfunctions stem from aged contacts. After resetting, if it functions normally, it serves as a reminder for regular maintenance to avoid roadside breakdowns disrupting travel plans.

As a young owner driving a Changan Benben, when the maintenance light came on, I handled it myself directly. After turning off the engine, power on the ignition without starting the car, then hold the odometer button for a few seconds, and the light will go out—very quick. There's no technical barrier in this process; you can remember it after seeing it once. Always pay attention to your car's condition and maintenance, ensuring smooth and efficient driving, saving time for fun. Don't overlook the small details.

What is aceac2 engine oil?

aceac2 is not engine oil. The 'C' in ACEA stands for the standard for light-duty diesel engine oil (used in passenger cars) with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The differences between gasoline engine oil and diesel engine oil are as follows: 1. Volatility: Gasoline is highly volatile, while diesel is difficult to volatilize. Therefore, gasoline vehicle pollutants include fuel evaporation emissions, the components of which are hydrocarbons. 2. Mixing: Gasoline easily mixes with air and does not separate easily once mixed. Gasoline and air can mix very evenly, with virtually no local over-concentration or under-concentration or liquid oil droplets. Gasoline molecules are smaller. Diesel and air mix unevenly, inevitably resulting in local oxygen deficiency or local oxygen enrichment. When fuel is in a high-temperature, oxygen-deficient environment, it tends to carbonize and form soot. Diesel combustion produces some odorous organic gases, so diesel engine emissions also have an odor.

Is Wheel Balancing Necessary When Rotating Tires?

Wheel balancing is necessary when rotating tires. Wheel balancing is required under the following circumstances: 1. After installing new tires or repairing due to a collision accident. 2. When there is uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires. 3. If the steering wheel feels excessively heavy or vibrates during driving. 4. If the vehicle pulls to the left or right when driving straight. 5. Even without the above conditions, for maintenance purposes, it is recommended to perform wheel balancing every six months or 10,000 kilometers after the first three months of driving a new car. The benefits of wheel balancing include: 1. Enhanced driving comfort. 2. Reduced fuel consumption. 3. Extended tire lifespan. 4. Improved straight-line stability of the vehicle. 5. Reduced wear on chassis suspension components. 6. Increased driving safety.

Is the 10-speed EDU the same as AMT?

No. Additional information: 1. Meaning of 10-speed EDU: The 10-speed EDU is derived from a 6-speed transmission on the engine side combined with a 4-speed transmission on the motor side. Due to the parallel-axis structure, this electric drive system can theoretically combine up to 24 gear ratios. 2. Advantages of the 10-speed EDU: (1) Faster gear shifting, officially stated as 0.2 seconds. In practical experience, it is almost imperceptible. The entire acceleration process is closer to the linear feel of a pure electric vehicle. (2) Some core components are also adopted. The motor uses a Hair-pin winding form, which offers higher efficiency and power density compared to conventional round-wire winding motors. (3) It employs an oil-cooling method, which provides better cooling effects than ordinary water cooling, is less prone to corrosion, and is less likely to freeze in low-temperature regions. 3. Meaning of AMT transmission: It is an improved version based on a traditional manual gear transmission, combining the advantages of both AT and MT into an integrated electromechanical-hydraulic automatic transmission. AMT retains the benefits of a conventional automatic transmission's automatic shifting while preserving the high gear efficiency, low cost, simple structure, and ease of manufacturing of the original manual transmission.

Where are the Renault sunroof drainage holes located?

Sunroof drainage holes are generally positioned at the four corners of the car's sunroof, allowing rainwater to drain out through the A-pillar and C-pillar areas. Below are the maintenance methods for sunroofs: 1. Lubricant Cleaning: Regular cleaning with fine talcum powder can extend the lifespan of the sealing ring. The moving parts of the sunroof are made of low-maintenance materials and should be periodically cleaned with engine oil or lubricant. It is recommended to clean them every two months. 2. Water Cleaning: After prolonged use, sand and debris may accumulate in the sunroof's sliding tracks and gaps. If not cleaned regularly, these particles can wear down the sunroof components. Frequently clean around the sliding tracks to prevent sand accumulation and extend the sealing ring's lifespan. Typically, after 2-3 months of use, clean the sealing strips or tracks with gauze soaked in cleaning water. After drying, apply a small amount of engine oil or grease. 3. Soft Cloth Cleaning: Before opening the sunroof, check the roof for any obstacles that might hinder the glass panel's movement. The sunroof panel is designed to block heat and UV rays. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for cleaning, and avoid using adhesive cleaning agents.
