A child also counts as one person. A five-seater car can only accommodate five people, and driving with six people is not allowed, otherwise fines and demerit points will be imposed. For a private car approved for five people, having an extra child constitutes overloading, resulting in a 6-point penalty. Traffic regulations clearly state that the passenger capacity of a private car is determined by the number of people specified on the vehicle registration certificate. The traffic regulations regarding overloading do not specify the height, weight, or age of passengers but only the "number." Therefore, in a car approved for five people, having an extra child (even an infant held by parents) is considered overloading.

What does TCS in a car mean?

TCS in a car stands for Traction Control System, which is a newly developed system based on ABS, also known as the Anti-Slip Control System. ABS controls all four wheels, while TCS only controls the drive wheels. Its braking principle is the same as the ABS system. When the car accelerates, TCS limits the slip within a certain range, thereby preventing the drive wheels from slipping rapidly. Without TCS, the drive wheels are prone to slipping during acceleration—rear-wheel-drive cars may experience oversteer, while front-wheel-drive cars may lose directional control, causing the vehicle to veer to one side. With TCS, the car can mitigate this phenomenon during acceleration, ensuring the vehicle follows the correct steering path.

What does it mean when the EPC light on the dashboard is on?

The EPC indicator light can illuminate in two states: during power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is monitoring the status of all sensors before driving. Generally, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. If the EPC light remains on under other circumstances or does not turn off for a long time after the vehicle is started, the possible causes include faults in the engine intake system, throttle, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake lights. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other circumstances: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will alert when the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle. Additionally, dirt on the throttle body can affect intake, causing the light to illuminate. Fuel system fault: This includes situations such as substandard fuel, fuel deterioration, or poor fuel atomization. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or issues with the intake valve or other powertrain components can also trigger the EPC light. ECU control unit fault: For example, interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the vehicle computer. Brake light fault: This includes situations where the brake lights do not illuminate, the brake switch malfunctions, or there are issues with the brake wiring. Solutions for when the EPC light illuminates: Troubleshoot the intake system, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant parts. Re-flash the ECU with relevant data. If the EPC light illuminates, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the light remains on. If it does not, there may be no issue, and the light may have been affected temporarily. If the EPC light remains on or frequently illuminates, the vehicle should be taken to the nearest service center for professional diagnosis and repair to eliminate potential safety hazards. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system mainly includes controllers and sensors related to the powertrain. When sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system will take predefined measures for the powertrain. Common EPC indicator lights are usually displayed in two colors: yellow and red. A yellow EPC fault light indicates that the vehicle can still be driven, but it should proceed slowly to a repair point for inspection. A red EPC fault light indicates a more serious issue, and the vehicle should be pulled over immediately, with professional repair services contacted. Continuing to drive under these conditions may directly affect the vehicle's core components or driving safety.

What are the reasons for the non-response of the Lavida's one-button start?

Lavida's one-button start not responding may be due to the following reasons: 1. Smart key battery depletion: This is likely caused by the smart key's low battery, preventing the start system from detecting the weak signal emitted by the key. You can try holding the smart key close to the start button and then pressing the button to start. 2. Insufficient battery voltage, no power, or battery damage: Failure to start might be due to prolonged headlight use or other reasons leading to battery depletion or the end of the battery's lifespan. Generally, replace the battery as per the maintenance manual. If the battery is dead, you can use another battery to jump-start or use the push-start method.
