Methods to reset the vehicle maintenance reminder light: 1. Turn off the engine and remove the key; 2. Press and hold the right button below the dashboard, then insert the key and turn it to the power-on position; 3. After turning the key to the power-on position, release the right button, and a small wrench symbol will appear; 4. Once the small wrench symbol appears, press the left button below the dashboard, and the wrench symbol will disappear. The original purpose of the maintenance light is to remind the owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible, so the owner should promptly visit a 4S shop for servicing. After maintenance, the 4S shop will use a diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. The quickest and most accurate method to reset the maintenance reminder light is by using a diagnostic tool, which most car owners do not possess. It is recommended that owners reset the light after maintenance at a 4S shop or visit an external 4S shop for resetting.

What type of suspension does the SAIC HS use?

The MG HS (not SAIC HS) uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Here is some extended information about suspensions: 1. Automotive suspensions are divided into two main categories: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. 2. Non-independent suspension has a simpler structure, relatively lower cost, and excellent load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding significant torque. However, its downside is poorer comfort and sportiness. Independent suspension offers better comfort, sportiness, and handling, but its disadvantages include complex structure, higher cost, and more difficult maintenance. 3. Common types of non-independent suspension include torsion beam non-independent suspension and solid axle non-independent suspension. Common types of independent suspension include MacPherson strut independent suspension, double-wishbone independent suspension, and multi-link independent suspension. Here are some details about the MG HS: 1. The latest model of the MG HS available for sale is the 2019 version, with a total of 6 models available, all meeting the China 6B emission standards. 2. The MG HS is positioned as a compact SUV. In terms of body dimensions: length x width x height are 4574x1876x1685mm, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The height of the 1.5T models is 1664mm, and all models have seating for 5.

Why Does an Automatic Transmission Car Shake When Starting?

Reasons why an automatic transmission car shakes when starting: 1. Insufficient engine temperature: When starting a cold engine, the temperature inside the engine is similar to the surrounding environment, which is not ideal for engine operation. In low temperatures, fuel atomization is poor, leading to reduced ignition energy and consequently affecting the vehicle's power performance, causing shaking. This phenomenon is more common in winter. Therefore, parking the car in a garage during winter can help alleviate engine shaking. 2. Incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio: During a cold start, the engine oil viscosity is high, and various components are not fully lubricated, making it prone to an incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio. The car's computer may misjudge this, reducing power output and resulting in shaking. 3. Carbon buildup in the engine: Carbon buildup is one of the significant causes of cold-start shaking. During daily driving, varying driving conditions and habits can lead to different levels of carbon deposits. Excessive carbon buildup on the valves and intake manifold can make cold starts difficult and may cause insufficient power or even stalling while driving. If the carbon buildup is severe, it should be cleaned promptly. If you cannot handle it yourself, you can visit a 4S shop for professional assistance.

How to Deal with Severe Engine Shaking?

Methods to handle severe engine shaking:1. Observe the engine operation condition and the degree of shaking, while also checking the swing amplitude of the engine tachometer needle to see if it deviates from the idle expectation value. If it deviates, the car engine will definitely shake, and the idle expectation value needs to be adjusted. 2. Check if there are any abnormalities in the engine external components. If there are, professional repair or replacement is needed. 3. Check if the vacuum tube is detached or damaged. If these parts are compromised, the car engine will also shake, and it's best to replace them. 4. Check if the wire connectors are loose. Loose wires can also cause engine shaking, and simply tightening them can solve the issue. 5. Check for any oil, water, air, or electricity leaks (the four leaks). Any of these leaks can cause engine shaking, so it's important to stop the leak promptly. 6. Check if the exhaust pipe emits black smoke or has a raw gasoline smell, which are abnormal phenomena. These abnormalities can lead to engine shaking, so timely repair is necessary if they occur. 7. Check if the throttle cable is properly adjusted. Improper adjustment can also cause engine shaking, and the throttle cable needs to be adjusted to the correct position.

In which year was China 5 implemented?

China 5, the fifth-stage national motor vehicle emission standard, was implemented nationwide from January 1, 2017. The emission control level of the China 5 standard is equivalent to the fifth-stage emission standard implemented in Europe. The European Union has been enforcing it since 2009, with stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and suspended particles compared to the China 4 standard. More details are as follows: 1. From China I to China IV, each upgrade in the standard reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. Additionally, starting from April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light gasoline, light diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (only for public transportation, sanitation, and postal purposes) in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region must comply with the China 5 emission standard. 2. The motor vehicle pollutant emission standards are formulated to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent pollution from vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. 3. Compared to the China 4 standard, the China 5 standard reduces harmful gas emissions such as nitrogen oxides by 43% for heavy-duty vehicles and by 25% for new standard light-duty vehicles, significantly improving the environment and benefiting everyone's health.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 1.6L engine?

For a 1.6L displacement family sedan, a fuel consumption of around 8L per 100 kilometers is considered normal, while a consumption of approximately 7L per 100 kilometers is considered fuel-efficient. For a 1.8L displacement family sedan, a fuel consumption of around 9L per 100 kilometers is considered normal, while a consumption of approximately 8L per 100 kilometers is considered fuel-efficient. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Theoretical calculation of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Generally, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers provided by manufacturers is a theoretical value. It refers to the value measured by the dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis under objective environmental conditions, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated at a specified speed to derive the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Practical calculation of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: In practice, the method to calculate fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as follows: X/100=50/600, where X is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers being calculated, 50 on the right side of the equation refers to 50L of fuel consumption, and 600 refers to the vehicle traveling 600 kilometers. Simply put, the vehicle consumes 50L of fuel over 600 kilometers. Solving the equation: X is approximately 8.33, so the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for this vehicle is about 8.33L.
