The maintenance light can be reset using any of the following three methods: 1. Use a computer to eliminate it by resetting the maintenance time and mileage with a decoder. 2. Insert the key into the ignition lock without turning it, press and hold the button on the combination instrument panel, turn the key to the second position (ACC, the whole vehicle is powered on), keep pressing for 10 seconds, and the wrench symbol on the instrument panel will disappear, indicating that the maintenance reminder light has been reset. 3. Zero the maintenance light using the reset button on the instrument panel. Turn off the key and hold the button on the instrument panel without releasing it, then turn on the key and hold for 3 seconds before releasing.

To reset the maintenance light on the JAC M3, the method is actually quite simple, and I often do it myself. First, don't start the engine, just turn the key to the ON position to power up the dashboard. Then press and hold the ODO button on the dashboard for about 5 to 10 seconds until you see the indicator light flash or turn off. Next, turn off the key and start the engine to check if the light is still on. This operation is to reset the maintenance reminder system, which reminds us to regularly change the oil and other things. The appearance of the maintenance light is because the vehicle's computer is set based on mileage or time. Not maintaining it on time can affect the engine's lifespan, such as sludge buildup leading to loud noise or reduced power. If you accidentally make a mistake, it may damage the circuit, so it's best to try it under the supervision of a professional. Every time I do this, I note down the date to make it easier to schedule the next maintenance. Remember to press the button firmly but not too hard to avoid damaging the plastic parts. Developing a good habit of keeping maintenance logs can help avoid frequent problems.

How Often Should a 10-Year-Old Car Be Maintained?

For vehicles of this age, it is best to keep them in the garage for regular maintenance. Below is a relevant introduction to car maintenance: First Maintenance: Some manufacturers determine the first maintenance based on time or mileage. The exact timing should be referred to the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first maintenance is crucial and usually free, so it is essential not to miss it, as doing so may affect the car's third maintenance. Maintenance Items: The main maintenance items for a car include changing the engine oil, oil filter, transmission fluid, spark plugs, cabin air filter, engine air filter, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need to be replaced every time, as it depends on their service life. Additionally, maintenance involves the inspection and upkeep of multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires, covering dozens of items.

What Causes the Fifth Gear Noise in a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission fifth gear noise may be caused by worn or damaged bearings, low precision, poor lubrication, or loose bolts. Worn or damaged bearings: When bearings wear out, their clearance increases, leading to reduced fitting precision. If bearings are damaged, they cannot operate normally, resulting in abnormal noises and even damage to transmission components, which may escalate the issue. Low precision: This can be caused by worn transmission components or the use of replacement parts with insufficient precision, such as excessive clearance between worn gears or newly replaced gears and the original gears. Poor lubrication: Insufficient or overly viscous lubricant can lead to poor lubrication. In such cases, the corresponding lubricant should be replaced; otherwise, it will accelerate transmission wear and shorten its service life. Loose bolts: Bolts on the transmission housing (end cover) may become loose. Vibration during operation can loosen the bolts, so regular inspections are recommended.

How many kilometers should a sedan generally go before changing the engine oil?

Typically, many car owners in China follow the recommendations of 4S dealerships and perform routine maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, which usually includes changing the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter. However, most car owners in Europe and America generally change their engine oil every 10,000 kilometers. Here are the specific details: Functions of engine oil: The primary functions of engine oil are lubrication, cleaning, and cooling. In fact, engine oil is used in many parts of a vehicle, but the oil changed every 5,000 kilometers refers specifically to the engine oil. Most people generally use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic engine oil, while conventional oil is rarely used. Conventional oil is typically used in agricultural machinery, three-wheeled vehicles, and motorcycles. Recommended intervals for oil changes: Conventional oil: 5,000 kilometers; Semi-synthetic oil: 7,500 kilometers; Fully synthetic oil: 10,000 kilometers before the next maintenance.

Where is the vehicle manufacturing date located?

The location of the vehicle manufacturing date is as follows: Nameplate: Whether it's a new or used car, every vehicle has a nameplate indicating the manufacturing date, which clearly marks the production date of the car. Glass dots: The number represents the year, for example, 7 stands for 2017. The month is determined by the dots. If the dots are after the number, it indicates the second half of the year, and the month is calculated by subtracting the number of dots from 13. If the dots are before the number, subtract the number of dots from 7 to get the corresponding month. VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The production date of the car can also be determined through the car's VIN.
