Power on the vehicle without starting the engine, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard for a few seconds, and observe the maintenance indicator on the dashboard. After the vehicle has been driven for another 5,000 kilometers, the maintenance light will illuminate again, reminding the vehicle owner to perform maintenance.

As a 10th-gen Civic owner, I've reset the maintenance light myself several times. First, power on the vehicle without starting the engine, then press and hold the steering wheel's right-side scroll wheel for 5 seconds. This will bring up the maintenance menu on the dashboard. Use the scroll wheel to select 'Reset Oil Life,' then press and hold to confirm - that's all it takes. Last time I did it in a parking lot and finished in just 3 minutes, much quicker than visiting the dealership. If your car has an aftermarket infotainment screen, remember to drive a few hundred meters after resetting for the maintenance light to fully disappear. The process differs for older Civic models, so check your manual to confirm button locations.

What are the symptoms of mismatched spark plugs?

Symptoms of mismatched spark plugs include engine idle shaking, difficulty starting the engine, and lack of power during acceleration. Engine idle shaking: If the engine shakes while idling, it indicates a problem with the spark plugs, such as disconnected ignition wires or mismatched spark plugs during replacement. Difficulty starting the engine: If the engine requires multiple ignition attempts to start and stalls more frequently while idling, these are signs of mismatched spark plugs. Lack of power during acceleration and increased fuel consumption: Generally, after replacing spark plugs, the engine should run smoothly with strong acceleration and ample power, while also improving fuel efficiency. If the vehicle lacks power during acceleration and fuel consumption increases, it is likely due to an issue with the spark plugs.

Which gear should be used for straight-line driving in Subject 3?

Use the 3rd gear. The speed for straight-line driving should not be too slow, as it may cause the vehicle to deviate. As the speed increases, the gear should be shifted up to the 3rd gear. If the road is flat with no pedestrians or other vehicles, you can slightly increase the speed and use the 4th gear. Below are some relevant tips: 1. Plan ahead: During the straight-line driving test, keep your eyes focused far ahead to better assess the road conditions and plan your next moves in advance. It's also helpful to anticipate any sudden appearances of pedestrians or vehicles. 2. Adjust direction promptly: Make timely adjustments to keep the vehicle aligned and on the correct path to avoid crossing lines. Additionally, stay relaxed during the test, as excessive tension can make muscle control difficult and lead to errors in driving maneuvers.

What is 97 gasoline called now?

97 gasoline is now called 95 gasoline. Modification of gasoline grades: In the two local standards of "Motor Gasoline" and "Motor Diesel", the major change is that the gasoline grades have been modified from 90, 93, and 97 to 89, 92, and 95. Therefore, the previous 97 corresponds to the current 95. Usage of gasoline grades: The level of gasoline grades only indicates the size of the octane number of gasoline, and different grades of gasoline should be selected according to the different compression ratios of the engine. Medium-grade cars with a compression ratio between 8.5 and 9.5 should generally use 93 gasoline; cars with a compression ratio greater than 9.5 should use 97 gasoline. Nowadays, domestic cars generally have a compression ratio above 9, so it is best to use 93 or 97 gasoline.

What is the driving method for a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission car?

7-speed dual-clutch transmission car driving method is: open the door, fasten the seat belt, step on the brake, shift to N gear to start, then shift to low gear, release the brake, and step on the accelerator to start. The dual-clutch transmission combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, gears of different speeds will respond. The dual-clutch transmission has two clutches, one controlling gears 1, 3, and 5, and the other controlling gears 2, 4, and 6. When using 1st gear, 2nd gear is already prepared, greatly reducing shift time. The automatic transmission is highly efficient, providing uninterrupted power, with the two clutches working in coordination.

What grade of gasoline should the Sagitar 1.4T use?

The Sagitar 1.4T should use 95-octane gasoline, as 95-octane fuel ensures complete combustion and high operational efficiency. Engines with high compression ratios require high-octane gasoline. Using low-octane gasoline in a high-compression engine can lead to abnormal combustion, causing knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving performance. The Sagitar 1.4T has body dimensions of 4753 mm in length, 1800 mm in width, and 1462 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731 mm. The vehicle is equipped with the Volkswagen EA211 series engine, offering three powertrain options: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, a 1.4TSI standard power version, and a 1.4TSI high-power version. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic, and a 7-speed DSG gearbox.
