No, the engine cannot start. One-key start requires pressing the brake to ignite and start the engine, which is a safety design in cars to prevent accidental activation of the switch that could cause the vehicle to suddenly move forward. When the vehicle is turned off, pressing and holding the one-key start button for 3 seconds without pressing the brake will only power on the vehicle without starting it. Some models require pressing the ignition switch twice consecutively. Below are the correct steps for starting and stopping the engine with one-key start: 1. After the driver sits in the driver's seat, press the start button once—the ACC light will turn on. Press it once more, and the vehicle will perform a self-check. 2. Press the brake and press the one-key start button to ignite and start the engine. 3. Release the foot brake; you can choose to warm up the engine in place, with the duration depending on the environment. 4. Press the brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply press the button briefly). 5. Slowly release the foot brake, gently press the accelerator, and the vehicle will start moving.

Last time I borrowed my friend's car, I made this exact mistake. Pressing the start button without stepping on the brake only powered up the electronics—the engine didn't start, and the dashboard lit up with various warning lights. At this point, the windows and stereo would work, but the engine remained completely off. Only by pressing the brake pedal and then hitting the start button could I hear the engine ignite. It took me several tries to figure this out. Veteran drivers might find it obvious, but it's genuinely confusing for beginners. The principle is simple: it's a safety measure designed by manufacturers to prevent accidents caused by accidental operation. As a side note, leaving the car powered on without starting the engine for extended periods drains the battery heavily—I once nearly ruined the battery doing just that.

Which position should the safety headrest align with in Subject 4?

In Subject 4, the safety headrest should be aligned so that the middle of the headrest corresponds to the middle of the head when the head is resting on it. Below is relevant information about Subject 4: 1. Introduction: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the assessment for obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license. Subject 4 separates the requirements for safe and civilized driving, safe driving skills under complex conditions, and emergency handling knowledge from the original Subject 1, placing them after the actual road driving test of "Subject 3" to further assess the candidate's level of traffic awareness. 2. Test Content: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, methods for handling emergencies such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident procedures. There are no appointment restrictions for the safe and civilized driving theory test.

What does violation code 1345 mean?

Meaning of violation codes: Traffic violation codes are encoding regulations established by the Ministry of Public Security for traffic violations committed by motor vehicles and pedestrians. 2. The first digit of the code: This is the behavior code, which includes numbers 1 to 5, 7, and 8. 1 indicates motor vehicle passage, 2 indicates non-motor vehicle passage, 3 indicates pedestrian or passenger passage, 4 indicates highway passage, 5 indicates other regulations, 7 indicates implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities directly under the central government, and 8 indicates local regulations of cities (regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues). 3. The second digit of the code: This is the penalty point classification code, which includes numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. 0 indicates no points, 1 indicates 1 point, 2 indicates 2 points, 3 indicates 3 points, 6 indicates 6 points, and 7 indicates 12 points.

What is the correct method for installing license plate screws?

Here is an introduction to the method of installing license plate screws: 1. First, screw the screw rod into the screw hole at the license plate installation position to check if all the screw holes are basically normal. After inspecting the screw holes, pre-assemble each set of screws. From top to bottom, the order is usually the anti-theft cap of the screw rod and the washer. The hexagonal screw cap is mostly unnecessary. 2. Align the pre-drilled holes on the license plate with the screw holes at the car's license plate installation position, then screw in the first set of screws. Be careful not to tighten them too much; just enough to hold the license plate in place. After completing the installation of the other sets of screws, when all four screws (some cars can only install two screws) are screwed in and checked to be secure, use a screwdriver to tighten the small opening on the anti-theft cap. Slightly pry the opening a bit larger with the screwdriver, then snap the anti-theft cap into place. The installation is now complete.

What is the ground clearance of the 2017 CR-V?

The ground clearance of the Honda CR-V 2017 is 193mm when fully loaded and 208mm when unloaded. Below is a related introduction to the minimum ground clearance: 1. Minimum ground clearance size: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability. 2. Factors to consider: The minimum ground clearance must consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, and the possibility that the car will not scrape when approaching the edge of a general sidewalk. If the vehicle is intended for sale in a specific country or region, the quality of local roads must also be considered. At the same time, the value of the minimum ground clearance has certain limitations, as it is related to the vehicle's function and aerodynamics. For example, sports cars have a relatively small minimum ground clearance, while SUVs have a relatively large minimum ground clearance.

Should Tires with Cracks Be Replaced?

If there are minor cracks on car tires, the following methods can help determine whether the tires need replacement: 1. Outer edge wear; If you observe the outer edge of the tire in the direction of travel and notice significant wear, it indicates that the tire is frequently underinflated, meaning the pressure is insufficient. Inflate according to the "highway" standard, which is 30 kPa more than the normal standard. Note that underinflated tires are particularly unfavorable for driving in rainy conditions, as grip will noticeably weaken. 2. Convex and wavy wear; If you find that the contact part of the tire shows convex wear on both sides and the surrounding area exhibits wavy wear, it suggests that components such as the shock absorbers, bearings, and ball joints are severely worn. It is advisable to inspect the wear condition of the suspension system and replace any worn parts before changing the tires. 3. Uniform surface wear; Once the tread is worn out, it indicates that the tire's lifespan has ended, and replacement is necessary. Additionally, the tread plays a crucial role in dispersing water from the road surface, which is vital for maintaining the car's grip. If the wear has reached the standard tread depth (typically 1.6 mm for tires with a width less than 175 mm and 2 mm for wider tires), replacement is required. 4. Center wear; If severe wear is observed in the central area of the tire's contact part, it indicates that the tire is frequently overinflated. Be sure to check the accuracy of the pressure gauge and adjust the pressure accordingly. Note that overinflation is only necessary for high-speed or heavy-load driving.
