After changing the oil, the dashboard still displays a request for an oil change because the 4S shop did not promptly reset the maintenance reminder light following the oil replacement. The solution is to visit the car's 4S shop as soon as possible and use a fault diagnostic tool to clear the maintenance reminder light. If the issue persists, it is recommended to inspect the maintenance indicator light circuit. Additional Information: The original purpose of the car maintenance light is to remind the owner to schedule maintenance promptly. Therefore, the owner should visit the 4S shop for maintenance as soon as possible. After the maintenance is completed, the 4S shop will use a fault diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. The quickest and most accurate method to clear the maintenance reminder light is by using a fault diagnostic tool.

What is the ignition current of a car?

When starting, the ignition current of a car can exceed 300 amps. If the engine has more cylinders, the current will be even higher. Engines with more cylinders are equipped with more powerful starters; otherwise, the engine cannot be started smoothly. In the absence of a starter, starting a car's engine required manual cranking, similar to how old-fashioned tractors were started. Without a starter, cars had to be started in this manner as well. After the invention of the starter, drivers could simply sit in the cab and use a key to start the engine. The starter is installed near the engine's flywheel. When starting the engine, the starter's gear engages with the flywheel's ring gear, and then the starter rotates the engine's flywheel, allowing the engine to start.

Where is the manual transmission located?

Generally, manual transmission vehicles have 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, with neutral in the middle. The following are the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: 1. Learning period: Manual transmission vehicles are more complex than automatic ones, so the learning period differs. Typically, learning to drive a manual transmission vehicle takes at least one month longer than an automatic. Due to the greater difficulty, the pass rate for manual transmission driver's license tests is also lower. 2. Driver's license: The manual transmission license is C1 level, while the automatic transmission license is C2 level. Holders of an automatic transmission license cannot drive manual transmission vehicles, but holders of a manual transmission license can drive automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Cost: Because manual transmission is more difficult to learn and has a lower pass rate, its fees are generally cheaper than automatic transmission. Usually, automatic transmission learning fees are more expensive.

What is the reason for the inability to accelerate when the car is cold but normal when it's warm?

The reasons for the inability to accelerate when the car is cold but normal when it's warm are: 1. Carbon deposits in the throttle and combustion chamber, which absorb some gasoline, causing a temporary inability to accelerate; 2. Incomplete fuel combustion; 3. Blocked fuel lines. The solutions for this issue are: 1. Clean the throttle and combustion chamber; 2. Clean the fuel lines. The methods to warm up the car are: 1. Start the vehicle and keep the air conditioning off; 2. Let the car idle for 1 minute to warm up; 3. Drive slowly after the engine runs smoothly; 4.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring on the Civic?

The tire pressure monitoring on the Civic is displayed on the dashboard. The Civic does not have an active monitoring function; it only shows content on the dashboard when there is an issue with the tires, but it does not display specific values—only indicating which tire has a problem. The tire pressure monitoring indicator will light up, and it will automatically turn off after the tire pressure returns to normal and you drive for a while. The dimensions of the Civic are 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of appearance, the Civic is largely similar to the North American version in terms of body styling. The Civic model features chrome accents around the front grille and fog lights, enhancing its premium feel. Additionally, the central part of the front bumper adopts a mesh design, giving it a more sporty look compared to the horizontal bar styling of the North American version.
