Ford reset the maintenance reminder method is: 1. Turn the ignition switch to off, while pressing the accelerator pedal and brake pedal simultaneously; 2. Turn the ignition switch to on, after 20 seconds the maintenance light will flash, then turn off the ignition switch and release the brake pedal and accelerator pedal. Ford models include: Focus, Mondeo, Explorer, Edge, Territory, etc. Taking the 2020 Ford Explorer as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 5705mm, width 2004mm, height 1778mm, wheelbase 3025mm, fuel tank capacity 73l, and curb weight 1972kg.

As a Ford owner who often performs DIY vehicle maintenance, I find resetting the maintenance reminder quite straightforward. The general method is to start the engine without driving, keeping the vehicle stationary. Then use the multifunction buttons or combination switches on the steering wheel to access the instrument cluster settings menu or message center options. Look for items like "Maintenance Reset" or "Oil Life Reset," and follow the instructions—typically holding the OK button for a few seconds until the screen confirms a successful reset. Note that procedures may vary by model; for instance, older Ford F-150s might require a specific key cycle sequence, while newer Focus models simplify the process. This reminder mainly alerts you to change oil or perform inspections, so reset it promptly after maintenance to avoid persistent notifications that can be distracting. If multiple attempts fail, don't force it—consult the owner's manual or visit a professional shop to prevent electronic system issues. Overall, this operation is safe and quick, even for beginners.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Cut Off Fuel at 6000 RPM?

Motorcycle cutting off fuel at 6000 RPM is basically a carburetor issue, such as problems with the carburetor's air-fuel mixture ratio, needle valve, fuel level, choke, etc., or improper adjustments, as well as the carburetor itself being faulty or incompatible with the motorcycle. The focus should be on inspecting and adjusting the carburetor, or replacing it. Motorcycle gradually slowing down and cutting off fuel: If a motorcycle gradually slows down and cuts off fuel while riding, with the engine slowly shutting off on its own and a noticeable loss of engine power before stalling, it is generally a fuel supply system malfunction. Engine cutting off fuel and stalling with noise: If the engine makes a loud "popping" sound during the fuel cutoff and stalling process, cannot be restarted after stalling, and the kickstarter lever feels very little compression, it can be determined that the cylinder head gasket has been burned through or the crankshaft oil seal is damaged.

What does motorcycle CVT mean?

Motorcycle CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) has no gears and uses an automatic centrifugal clutch. It changes the transmission ratio by adjusting the diameters of the front and rear pulleys. This type of transmission has no fixed steps and is entirely controlled by throttle, engine speed, and pulley diameter changes. Definition of stepped transmission: Automatic disengagement still means the clutch is in an automatic disengaged state, while stepped transmission incorporates gear shifting. This combination significantly improves working efficiency compared to scooter transmission forms, enhancing power while reducing fuel consumption, though it still has drawbacks. Definition of multi-speed transmission: This type of transmission still consists of a clutch and gear shifting, except that the clutch is no longer automatically disengaged but manually disengaged instead.

Does a deformed car tire cause shaking when driving?

A deformed car tire will cause a sensation of up-and-down shaking and vibration when driving. If a car's tire becomes deformed or worn, it must be replaced immediately to prevent affecting the normal use of the vehicle and to ensure driving comfort. Wear Limit: When the tire wears to the wear limit indicator, there are small triangular patterns along the sidewall and the edge of the tread. Moving horizontally from any of these triangles to the tread pattern, you will notice small raised sections within the tread that are lower than the normal tread pattern. These are the safety indicators, and driving beyond this point means the tire should be replaced. Aging Degree: Check the tire's aging degree. If the tire has many cracks but they do not affect normal use, it can still be driven. However, if the crack depth exceeds three millimeters, the tire needs to be replaced. Tread Deformation or Bead Damage: Tires with tread deformation or bead damage, if driven while flat, can cause the sidewall to be crushed and damaged. Tires corroded by chemicals should not be used. Tire Repair: If a tire has been repaired more than three times, it is necessary to replace it with a new one.

Can National VI Diesel Vehicles Operate Without Urea?

National VI diesel vehicles cannot operate without urea. With the country's increasing emphasis on environmental protection, vehicle urea has become an indispensable necessity for National V and VI heavy-duty diesel vehicles. Operating a diesel vehicle without urea not only subjects the owner to hefty fines but also leads to severe consequences that can affect the normal operation of the vehicle. The functions of adding urea to diesel vehicles include: Optimizing Engine Performance: Using urea in vehicles can optimize engine performance and fuel consumption, reducing diesel consumption by up to 6%, significantly lowering costs. Purification Effect: It serves a purification function by reacting with nitrogen oxides in the exhaust, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. Vehicles are equipped with a dedicated urea tank where the urea is stored. As long as the vehicle is running, urea will be consumed, so it is essential to replenish it promptly.

Is There an Age Limit for Small Car Transfer?

There is no age limit for car transfer. Transaction Processing: Pay the used car transaction tax, with private accounts charged at 1% and corporate accounts at 4%. Vehicle Inspection: Drive the car to the inspection site for external inspection, tracing the vehicle identification number, removing the license plate, and taking photos. Collect the vehicle photos and attach them to the inspection record form, then proceed to the transfer hall to complete the filing procedures. License Plate Selection: After obtaining a number from the dispenser, queue up with the relevant materials to pay the transfer fees. Transfer and Relocation: Required materials include the Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation Form/Transfer Application Form, inspection record form, original vehicle property registration certificate, original driving license, original owner's ID card, original license plate number, vehicle photos, and the transfer invoice from the trading market.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make a Clicking Sound on Bumpy Roads?

Steering wheel noise on bumpy roads may be related to steering system issues such as excessive play in the steering shaft spline, looseness in the steering shaft universal joint, loose steering ball joints, or steering gear malfunctions. It could also be associated with suspension system faults like shock absorbers or their support bearings. Try to steer after the vehicle is in motion: Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary; try to steer only after the vehicle has begun moving. Stationary steering should only be used occasionally in special circumstances, such as when maneuvering out of a parking space. Straighten the steering wheel after parking: When the vehicle is parked, the steering wheel should be returned to the center position to prevent the suspension system and tires from bearing unnecessary load. Avoid turning the steering wheel to the lock position when making a U-turn: When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel all the way to the lock position.
