Turn off the ignition, press and hold the 0.0 button at the lower right of the dashboard, then turn on the ignition. At this point, you will notice that the wrench-shaped maintenance indicator on the dashboard stops flashing. Release the 0.0 button and press the button at the lower left. The wrench symbol on the dashboard will then disappear, indicating that the maintenance light has been successfully reset. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Maintenance Light: This is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to alert the owner to perform maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals, displayed in the form of a dashboard or screen message or indicator light. Resetting the maintenance light means clearing the reminder information after maintenance is completed, essentially resetting the message. The most important function of the maintenance reminder is to notify the owner of the maintenance schedule, helping them avoid accidents due to neglected maintenance. Regular maintenance also extends the lifespan of the vehicle. Beyond just changing the engine oil and filter, routine maintenance includes inspecting critical components such as brake pads and tires to prevent excessive wear and potential accidents. 2. Ford Focus: The name FOCUS means 'focus,' and it is one of Ford Europe's flagship models. As Ford's best-selling compact car, the Focus has enhanced the brand's global market position with its excellent chassis and handling. The new-generation 2020 Focus features upgraded exterior and configurations, with all models meeting the China VI emission standards. Additionally, the 2020 Focus comes with a 5-year or 200,000-kilometer extended engine warranty policy.

What Are the Causes of High Temperature in Cars?

Engine's air charging coefficient decreases, abnormal engine combustion, engine oil deterioration, fuel supply system prone to vapor lock, and ignition system malfunction. Additional details: 1. Decrease in engine's air charging coefficient: Higher temperatures lead to lower air density, reducing the actual air intake of the engine; overheating of the engine increases the temperature under the hood, further decreasing the engine's air charging capability. The reduced air charging coefficient results in decreased engine power, causing the car to lose driving force. 2. Abnormal engine combustion: High ambient temperatures raise the temperature of the air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders, increasing the overall operating cycle temperature of the engine. Coupled with the radiator's reduced cooling efficiency, the engine becomes overheated. The end-gas mixture in the combustion chamber absorbs more heat, accelerating pre-flame reactions and increasing the likelihood of engine knocking. 3. Fuel supply system prone to vapor lock: Higher temperatures increase the temperature under the hood, making vapor lock more likely. When the fuel system heats up, some gasoline evaporates into gas, accumulating in the fuel lines and fuel pump, increasing fuel flow resistance and disrupting the vacuum created by the fuel pump during the suction stroke. This leads to insufficient or interrupted fuel supply, causing vapor lock in the fuel system. 4. Ignition system malfunction: When driving in high-temperature environments, the ignition coil can overheat, weakening the high-voltage spark and causing high-speed misfires. In severe cases, the ignition coil may burn out, affecting the car's normal operation.

What is the problem of high-speed body shaking?

High-speed body shaking issues are as follows: 1. Uneven brake disc surface: The brake disc surface is uneven with a large radial runout, caused by uneven braking force or brake pad misalignment. 2. Excessive tire pressure: When the vehicle's tire pressure is too high, the shaking is particularly noticeable when driving at high speeds on uneven roads, making it easy for the driver to feel the body shaking and veering. 3. Severe tire wear: Severe tire wear with significant imbalance in dynamic balance. Due to uneven wear or large dynamic imbalance, the tire may jump during high-speed operation, causing the body to shake. 4. Engine issues: Generally caused by fuel quality or ignition problems. At high speeds and under high load, fuel quality and ignition determine the power output. If either is abnormal, it can lead to engine weakness and shaking.

What to Do When the Fuel Tank Cap Won't Open?

The fuel tank cap may not open due to it being stuck or rusted. Here are some relevant explanations about why the fuel tank cap won't open: 1. Precautions: Some vehicles are equipped with an emergency release for the fuel tank cap. In many vehicles, the emergency release is located in the trunk, under a small panel on the side of the fuel tank cap. Pull the emergency handle firmly while pressing the fuel tank cap to open it. After refueling, it is advisable to check the control circuit of the fuel tank cap as soon as possible. 2. Other Causes and Solutions: The fuel tank cap might also fail to open because it is frozen in extremely cold weather. In such cases, use appropriate methods based on the situation, such as pouring hot water or forcing it open. It is recommended to regularly clean the fuel tank cap. There is usually a drainage hole under the fuel tank cap. If this hole is blocked, or if water accumulates easily during car washing or in rain or snow, it can freeze and cause the fuel tank cap to stick.

Do 4S stores buy used cars?

Some 4S stores can recycle used cars. Here is some relevant information about 4S stores recycling used cars: 1. Description: Some 4S stores have the business of used car recycling. In addition to the traditional main businesses of new car sales and maintenance, used cars are actually an important profit-making business for many 4S stores. After refurbishing the used cars they have recycled or taken in trade, 4S stores sell them to used car dealers or individuals, which also generates profit. 2. Notes: When selling an old car to a 4S store, the transfer of ownership is temporarily not processed; it is only completed when the vehicle is actually sold to a buyer. However, some 4S stores offer services similar to "full-price direct sales," where the 4S store evaluates and inspects the old car, negotiates a suitable price with the seller, and then directly purchases the car at full price, providing transfer services. The ownership is usually transferred to the 4S store or an employee.

What Causes Poor Engine Acceleration?

When the engine experiences poor acceleration, the engine speed fails to increase immediately after the driver presses the accelerator pedal, resulting in a lagging phenomenon. Alternatively, slight fluctuations in engine performance may occur during acceleration, leading to insufficient engine power. The causes of engine malfunction include: 1. Poor-quality gasoline: Low-quality gasoline not only causes incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders but also leads to excessive carbon buildup, potentially clogging fuel lines and corroding components. It also affects the normal concentration of the air-fuel mixture, ultimately causing engine malfunction accompanied by shaking and vibration. 2. Damaged oxygen sensor or sensor connector: A faulty oxygen sensor or a damaged/loose sensor connector can result in an overly lean or rich air-fuel mixture, leading to engine malfunction. 3. Spark plug carbon buildup: Carbon deposits on spark plugs can cause poor engine performance, manifesting as difficulty starting, unstable idling, poor acceleration, backfiring during sudden acceleration, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption.
