Turn off the ignition switch and press the trip button on the dashboard. Turn on the ignition switch, release the trip button, and when the maintenance reset prompt appears, press and hold the enter switch for 3 to 5 seconds until a beep sounds, then confirm completion. The CRV uses 92-octane gasoline. Taking the 2021 CRV as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4621mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1679mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2661mm. The 2021 CRV features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 193PS, maximum torque of 243Nm, and maximum power of 142kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Hey, I've encountered this issue several times, and getting rid of the oil change reminder is actually quite simple. First, turn the car key to the second position without starting the engine, so the dashboard lights up. Then use the up and down buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the settings or maintenance menu. Once inside, select the oil life reset option and hold the OK button for a few seconds, and the reminder light will go off. The procedure varies for different model years of the CR-V; for example, the 2016 model requires holding the button for more than 5 seconds. The first time I tried, it didn't work, but later I found out from online videos that I was pressing the wrong button. Doing it yourself saves a trip to the dealership and feels quite rewarding. The reminder is there to prompt maintenance and protect the engine, so clearing it promptly makes driving more reassuring.

As a family car user, I believe safety comes first. Can't clear the CR-V oil change reminder? First confirm you've installed new oil. Enter the car, press brake without starting engine, find dashboard buttons in KEY-ON position to access maintenance menu. Select reset option and hold OK button until light turns off. If unsure, check owner's manual or visit repair shop directly - forcing it may damage systems. My neighbor messed up last time and got scrambled dashboard displays. The reminder light won't affect driving but is annoying, so handle it promptly after oil change for safety. Don't skip this step - getting professional help saves trouble.

Does Alcohol Disinfectant Damage Car Paint?

It does not damage the car paint because car paint is high-temperature baked paint. Although alcohol is a strong solvent, its dissolving power is relatively weak, so it won't harm the car paint. However, after wiping with alcohol, it should be rinsed immediately with water. Prolonged use may affect the paint's gloss. Car Cleaning Precautions: 1. Avoid Using Soft Water: Do not use soft water for cleaning, including hot water or alkaline water, as these substances can damage the paint. 2. Avoid Adding Random Detergents: Do not use laundry detergent, cleaning agents, or low-quality soap when washing, as these detergents contain alkali, which may strip the paint's protective oils and accelerate aging. 3. Avoid Using High-Pressure Water Jets: Excessive water pressure can damage the car's paint surface. 4. Avoid Misusing Stain Removers: For highly corrosive stains on the car body, such as asphalt, grease, bird droppings, or insect residue, which are difficult to clean, use appropriate cleaners specifically designed for these issues.

Which region does the license plate starting with 'Dong' belong to?

Currently, there are no license plates that start with the character 'Dong'. The Chinese character at the beginning of a license plate represents a province or municipality directly under the central government, while the letters following the character represent a city or district. The letters or numbers at the front of the license plate can indicate which city the vehicle belongs to. License plates are plates attached to the front and rear of a vehicle, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, inscribed with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles, with their primary function being to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs. They also allow for tracking the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the license plate.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the old Jetta in liters?

Jetta's fuel tank has a nominal capacity of 55L, with a maximum additional capacity of 3-4 liters. During continuous refueling, the first pump shutoff typically occurs at around 40 liters. Generally, a full tank can cover over 500 kilometers. For instance, a vehicle consuming 10 liters per 100 kilometers usually has a fuel tank capacity of approximately 60 liters. When the fuel gauge warning light comes on, there are usually 5-6 liters of fuel remaining. Jetta is an automobile brand produced by FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. The Jetta (Jetta-MK1) was first launched in Europe in 1979. On December 5, 1991, the first domestically produced Jetta A2 rolled off the assembly line at FAW-Volkswagen's car plant. It was an upgraded version based on the second-generation German Jetta A2 from 1983. Taking the Jetta VS5 as an example, its body dimensions are 4419mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1616mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm. In terms of power, the Jetta VS5 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Exterior-wise, the front face of the Jetta VS5 adopts Volkswagen's X-design elements, extending bidirectionally to the hood and lower grille. The side body lines follow Volkswagen's brand design, running through the entire vehicle. Vehicles should not arbitrarily switch to fuel with different octane ratings. Using a lower octane fuel may cause premature combustion, leading to engine knocking. Additionally, incomplete combustion of the fuel can increase carbon deposits, potentially clogging ducts and injectors, resulting in reduced vehicle power and increased fuel consumption.

How Many Kilometers Are Allowed for a New Car?

Here is the introduction to the allowed kilometers for a new car: 1. Domestic production: Under normal circumstances, if the vehicle is domestically produced, its mileage is generally within 50 kilometers. 2. Imported vehicles: If it is an imported vehicle, considering factors such as transportation, port shipment, and customs, its mileage is generally within 100 kilometers. Exceeding this mileage may indicate that the car is a used vehicle or a test-drive car. Below are specific precautions when picking up a new car: 1. Inspect the body: Visually examine the car's paint surface to check for scratches and wear. Observe the paint under ample sunlight to see if there is any color difference. Open the doors and adjust them at various angles to let light shine from different directions to check if the sheet metal is even. 2. Check the doors: Open the doors and pay attention to whether they open and close smoothly, and whether the gaps between the doors and the front and rear bumpers are consistent. 3. Inspect the engine: Open the engine hood and check if the engine compartment is clean. If the car has been stored for a long time or used, some areas may have obvious dust or stains. 4. Check the glass: Verify whether the windshield is original.

What are the common causes of engine oil leakage?

The causes of engine oil leakage are: 1. The cylinder head gasket between the upper and lower cylinder blocks is burned through, causing lubricating oil to seep out (located in the upper middle part of the engine); 2. Insufficient adhesive at the connection between the lower cylinder block and the base cylinder block, resulting in gaps that allow oil seepage; 3. Uneven application of sealant between the oil pan and the engine block, creating weak points that may crack and leak oil after prolonged use; 4. Sand holes or cracks in the cylinder block or oil pan. The main hazards of engine oil leakage are oil loss and waste, and in severe cases, it may lead to insufficient oil levels, potentially causing engine damage. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the oil level closely. Most vehicles are equipped with oil level indicators, which help prevent unnoticed drops in oil levels below normal, and an oil pressure warning light will alert the driver if the oil pressure is insufficient.
