One method is through the multifunction steering wheel buttons, and another method is by using a specialized diagnostic tool for resetting. Here is some additional information: 1. Maintenance Reminder: Some mid-to-high-end vehicles now come equipped with a maintenance reminder function. Based on preset mileage or engine operating hours, a maintenance prompt will appear on the dashboard, sometimes accompanied by an alert sound. This reminder can be reset manually after maintenance, either by connecting to a diagnostic computer at a repair shop or directly through the vehicle's settings, to initiate the next cycle. 2. Vehicle Maintenance: Vehicle maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. Modern vehicle maintenance primarily includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

Last time I performed a maintenance light reset on my imported Mercedes-Benz B200 by myself. First, ensure the vehicle is turned off, then insert the key and turn it to the second position to power up the dashboard without starting the engine. Next, use the left and right buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu, locate the maintenance reminder option, and press and hold the OK button to enter the reset mode. A confirmation prompt will appear on the screen; use the up and down buttons to select 'Confirm' and press OK again. This process usually takes about half a minute. Once the reset is complete, turn off the power and restart the vehicle normally. A reminder: menu locations may vary for different model years. If you can't find the option in post-2020 models, it's advisable to check the owner's manual or visit a 4S shop for a computer-assisted reset. Don't force it if you're doing it yourself. Resetting the oil life reminder accurately is crucial for determining the next maintenance schedule—no room for carelessness.

What does the vehicle inspection validity period refer to?

Vehicle inspection validity period refers to the period during which the annual vehicle inspection is valid. The documents required for vehicle inspection include: 1. Proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles; 2. Original copy of the motor vehicle safety technical inspection qualification certificate; 3. Original copy of the motor vehicle driving license and original ID card. The classification of vehicle annual inspections is as follows: 1. For commercial passenger vehicles, inspection is required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 5 years; 2. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspection is required once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 10 years; 3. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspection is required once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years.

Does a newly added battery water in a car need to be charged?

After adding new battery water to a car, it should be left idle for about 2 hours to allow the added water to fully mix with the original battery fluid before charging the battery to ensure charging quality. Car battery water, also known as electrolyte, is a dilute sulfuric acid solution made from distilled water and sulfuric acid. It is added to the battery to react with the battery plates for charging and discharging. A car battery, referred to as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The car battery is a lead-acid battery, which is made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution serving as the electrolyte.

What are 95 and 98 gasoline?

95 and 98 are both octane ratings for gasoline. 95-octane gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. When the engine compression ratio is high, high-octane gasoline should be used. If low-octane gasoline is used with a high compression ratio, it can cause abnormal combustion, resulting in knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. 98-octane gasoline refers to gasoline with an octane rating equal to a mixture of 98% isooctane and a certain percentage of n-heptane. 98-octane gasoline has better anti-knock properties and higher power output, while also producing fewer harmful substances and lower exhaust emissions. Different octane ratings indicate different levels of octane values, with higher-rated gasoline having higher octane values and better stability. The differences in gasoline octane ratings: The higher the octane rating, the better the anti-knock performance. Anti-knock performance refers to the gasoline's ability to resist knocking during engine combustion. When refueling, different gasoline grades should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio (the ratio of the cylinder's maximum volume at bottom dead center to its minimum volume at top dead center). Long-term effects of using the wrong gasoline octane rating: Using a higher octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for lower octane will not cause damage, but the increased octane value can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency. Conversely, using lower octane gasoline in a high-octane vehicle can cause engine knocking, increased resistance during the upward stroke, and abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to severe engine damage. Refueling precautions: When refueling: Turn off the engine, avoid making phone calls or using mobile devices, and do not use open flames in the gas station. Always turn off the engine while refueling. If there is a queue, wait in line orderly without cutting in. Selecting gasoline: Always choose reputable gas stations with high-quality fuel. Avoid gas stations with poor-quality gasoline. Long-term use of low-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits in the engine. It's essential to select both a reputable gas station and the correct gasoline octane rating. Choosing the right gasoline octane rating is crucial. Most vehicles have the manufacturer's recommended gasoline octane rating printed inside the fuel filler cap. Follow this recommendation when refueling. If the label states: "Use 92 or higher octane gasoline," then either 92 or 95 octane can be used, but they should not be mixed. If the label states: "Use no less than 95 octane gasoline," then only 95 or 98 octane gasoline should be used, and 92 octane must be avoided. Higher octane gasoline is not always better; the engine's compression ratio must match the gasoline octane rating. Using higher octane gasoline in a low-compression engine may reduce knocking but can alter the ignition timing, leading to increased carbon deposits in the cylinders. Long-term use can negatively impact the engine's lifespan. Using lower octane gasoline in a high-compression engine can cause knocking, accelerating wear and tear on engine components.
