Speaking of the 2021 Honda XR-V, it indeed comes with CarPlay functionality. I've driven this car, and connecting an iPhone is very smooth—just plug in the data cable to the USB port on the center console, and the screen will display Apple Maps, Music, Messages, and other apps. The setup is particularly simple, requiring no complicated operations, allowing you to navigate and listen to music seamlessly while driving. If you encounter connection issues, it might be due to a faulty data cable or the car's infotainment system needing an update. Try restarting the system or your phone to resolve it. The benefit of CarPlay is that it reduces distractions and enhances driving safety, especially useful during long trips. However, note that different trim levels may vary—higher trims usually come standard with it, so it's advisable to have the salesperson demonstrate and confirm the feature when purchasing.

As someone who frequently works on Honda vehicles, I can confirm that the 2021 XR-V comes equipped with CarPlay. It connects Apple devices via the center console USB port and operates with stable reliability. If the feature isn't functioning, check for USB port damage or cable faults; also ensure the infotainment software is updated to the latest version. Regarding daily maintenance, CarPlay's integration into the vehicle's entertainment system helps reduce driving distractions and enhances the overall experience. Some owners overlook software updates, leading to connectivity issues—it's important to have technicians check the system during routine maintenance. Overall, the 2021 model's CarPlay support is a significant plus, making it ideal for those who value tech features.

The 2021 XR-V supports CarPlay, which is quite convenient to operate. I use it for phone navigation and calls, making driving much safer. It automatically launches when connected via USB and is compatible with mainstream iPhone models. When driving with family, the large screen provides clear visibility, and kids enjoy playing with music apps. Occasionally, the system may experience minor lag, but a restart usually fixes it. The CarPlay configuration in this car is quite generous among joint-venture SUVs.

What to Do If the Temporary License Plate Expires?

If the formal license plate has not been processed yet, you need to apply for another temporary license plate. New cars cannot use temporary license plates for more than 15 days, and the owner should promptly apply for a formal license plate from the vehicle management authority. Each vehicle can apply for a maximum of 3 temporary license plates, which means the longest duration should not exceed 45 days. Below is the relevant information about temporary license plates: 1. Required application materials. (1) Original and photocopy of the vehicle qualification certificate (imported vehicles require import certificates); (2) Original and photocopy of the third copy of the compulsory traffic insurance; (3) Original and photocopy of the first copy of the car purchase invoice; (4) Original and photocopy of the owner's identity proof (if processed by an agent, the agent's original ID and photocopy are required); (5) Non-local owners need the original and photocopy of the temporary residence permit. 2. Relevant precautions. Driving a vehicle with an expired temporary license plate will result in penalties such as vehicle impoundment, fines, and a 12-point deduction. If a traffic accident occurs while driving with an expired or counterfeit temporary license plate, the insurance claim may not be processed smoothly.

Can You Continue Driving When the ABS Warning Light Is On?

When the ABS warning light is on, it is recommended not to continue driving, as the illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks. The ABS warning light can illuminate under various conditions, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: Condition 1: ABS warning light stays on continuously (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle's speed or the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal transmission due to loose connections in the system wiring or faulty ABS relay contacts. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. Condition 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical components are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases, the voltage rises, and the ABS light turns off. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). Condition 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine startup and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding of the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connections at the ABS hydraulic valve body; or a faulty ABS control unit. Solution: Loosen and retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary. Check for enlarged connector gaps and replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit if needed. Condition 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals. This may also occur due to incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the fuel tank cap label. Condition 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and push the brake switch linkage down with your finger until it bottoms out. Release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting process. Replace the brake light switch if necessary.

Do You Need to Wait for a Red Light to Make a U-Turn?

If the gap is marked with a dashed line, making a U-turn is not affected by traffic signals and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. You can make a U-turn directly as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then making a U-turn requires crossing the pedestrian crossing and is subject to traffic signals. Note that U-turns are not allowed on pedestrian crossings. Violations will result in a 3-point penalty and a fine according to Article 49 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." If you need to cross the pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn, you must yield to pedestrians: When pedestrians are walking on the right side of the pedestrian crossing and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side of the road must slow down and allow them to pass safely. When pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the road, vehicles must slow down and allow them to pass safely. If pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop are committing a violation and will be penalized. When pedestrians enter Lane A of the motorized lane along the pedestrian crossing, vehicles in Lane B must slow down and allow them to pass safely. If vehicles in Lane A do not stop, it is a violation and will be penalized. If pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road do not enter the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop are committing a violation and will be penalized. If pedestrians cross the centerline of the road and enter the lane, vehicles that do not stop are committing a violation and will be penalized. When pedestrians are waiting in the median area separated by greenery, vehicles must slow down and allow them to pass safely. Scenarios where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make a U-turn without interfering with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. "No explicit prohibition" means there are no "No U-Turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines. Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, entrances to important facilities, or other designated areas. Stopping on yellow grid lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. However, U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines if there is no median barrier, effectively making it a "U-turn permitted" zone. If there is a U-turn signal light at the intersection, you must follow it—only proceed on green. If "No Left Turn" and "U-Turn Permitted" signs appear together, U-turns are allowed but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-Turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Precautions when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check the road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even if there is no explicit "No U-Turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic before making a U-turn. Failure to do so will make you fully liable for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane is not always a left-turn lane. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-Turn" signs.

How to Deal with Emission System Malfunctions?

Unburned or incompletely burned fuel, engine knocking, excessively high engine temperatures, require cleaning of the throttle body. Poor fuel quality leading to unclean engine cylinders and accumulated carbon deposits necessitates engine carbon deposit cleaning. When ambient temperatures drop sharply, the computer's temperature correction may cause the pollution warning light to illuminate during startup, which will stabilize once the temperature drops to a certain level.
