The maintenance light on the 2015 Changan Benben is to remind the owner that maintenance is required. Here are the specific details about the Changan Benben: 1. Vehicle positioning: The Changan Benben is positioned as an economical car, with a body length of 3525mm, width of 1650mm, height of 1550mm, and a wheelbase of 2365mm. 2. Power: It is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 74 kW/6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 135 N·m, and also adopts variable valve timing technology. The Benben uses two types of transmissions, one is a 5-speed manual transmission, and the other is a 5IMT transmission.
I remember the maintenance light on our family's 2015 Changan Benben kept coming on a while back, and we figured out a few common causes. The most common one is that it's genuinely time for maintenance—the manufacturer's preset reminder cycle has been reached, usually calculated at 5,000 kilometers or six months, and the computer automatically pops up the alert. If the light stays on right after a service, it's likely that the technician forgot to reset it using the specialized computer; the Benben requires connecting an OBD device to manually clear the maintenance reminder. Also, check if the oil life sensor is faulty or if unstable battery voltage is interfering with the car's computer program. Driving habits should be noted too—frequent short trips or heavy engine load in stop-and-go traffic may prompt the onboard computer to light up the maintenance reminder early. If you're temporarily too busy to visit the dealership, you can look up the maintenance light reset method for your specific model and try holding down the dashboard button to see if you can turn it off.
