Generally, vehicles equipped with an auto start-stop system have it enabled by default. If it suddenly stops working, it might be due to accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button on the car. When parking, the system will only activate after it recognizes three actions: shifting to neutral, pulling the handbrake, and releasing the clutch. The design of the auto start-stop system varies, and it must meet certain conditions to function.

I remember last time my start-stop function suddenly stopped working, which gave me a scare—I thought the car was broken. Later, I realized it might have been because the battery was low, as this function requires sufficient voltage to operate. Generally, first check the start-stop button in the car—many vehicles have a switch to manually enable it, and sometimes it gets pressed accidentally. Then, check the battery status. If the car has just been started or the air conditioning isn't on, the system might decide conditions aren't suitable for engine shutdown. Taking a short drive to let it reset often fixes the issue. If it's a recurring problem, it could be due to battery aging or the system needing an update—it's best to get it checked at a professional shop to avoid affecting fuel efficiency and safety. This feature has saved me a lot on fuel costs, and it's quite convenient when used regularly. Just make sure to keep the car in good condition, and there shouldn't be any issues.

As an experienced driver, I've found that when the start-stop function isn't working, don't panic—it's usually related to driving conditions. For instance, extremely low or high temperatures, cabin temperature not reaching the set value, or battery voltage below the standard level can all cause it to pause. You can try restarting the engine, turning the AC off and on, or taking a long drive to let the system recharge and reset. Also, check the vehicle settings menu—some models allow you to adjust start-stop preferences in the infotainment system. Regular battery maintenance and avoiding prolonged idling can help keep the function reliable long-term. Overall, it's part of intelligent energy-saving technology and can be quite hassle-free when handled properly.

Can a Rear-Wheel Drive BMW 5 Series Be Driven in Snowy Weather?

It is recommended to avoid driving a rear-wheel drive BMW 5 Series in snowy weather if possible. Advantages of snow tires: Shorter braking distance, better handling, and improved performance when climbing or descending on snow and ice; increased traction, softer rubber in cold weather to prevent slipping on ice (ice is different from snow), a feature that snow chains do not possess. Precautions for changing tires: Use a jack to slightly lift the car, loosen the wheel nuts before the tire is completely off the ground; after loosening the nuts, continue lifting the car with the jack until the tire is fully off the ground, then remove the original tire; install the spare tire, and tighten all the nuts evenly in a diagonal sequence.

Can You Make a U-Turn at a Straight Red Light?

You cannot make a U-turn at a straight red light. Reasons why U-turns are not allowed: When driving straight, the lane you are in is a straight-only lane. Regardless of the traffic signal, U-turns are not permitted in straight-only lanes; only straight driving is allowed. If a vehicle makes a U-turn, it constitutes a traffic violation and will be subject to corresponding penalties. Legal basis: According to Article 49 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other dangerous sections of the road. Motor vehicles may make U-turns at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, provided they do not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Article 38 of the same regulations states that when the green light of motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signals is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal indications. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.

What is the transmission of the 2021 Trumpchi GS4?

The transmission brand of the 2021 Trumpchi GS4 is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the world's highest market share. The 2021 Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on manual transmissions but not automatic, it combines the flexibility of manual transmissions with the comfort of automatic transmissions while providing uninterrupted power output. For the 2021 Trumpchi GS4's transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission models, many experienced drivers tend to coast in neutral. However, for automatic transmission models, coasting in neutral can cause the automatic transmission to overheat, and shifting back into D (Drive) mode may result in a certain impact. Never shift into D/R (Drive/Reverse) mode before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate "smooth" operation, shift directly into reverse while the vehicle is still moving. This can severely damage the transmission gears, leading to gear grinding and other malfunctions over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D (Drive) mode. When facing steep slopes, automatic transmission vehicles often overheat due to high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit low gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in N (Neutral) mode. Do not use a tow rope or similar methods to tow the vehicle directly.

Is it advisable to buy a used car that has been transferred four or five times?

A car that has been transferred four or five times indicates it has had multiple owners and is not new, making such a used car inadvisable for purchase. Introduction to Used Cars: A used car refers to a vehicle (including three-wheeled vehicles, low-speed trucks, originally agricultural vehicles), trailers, and motorcycles that have been registered with the public traffic management authorities before reaching the national scrapping standards and can be traded with ownership transferred. Its definition directly relates to the scope of vehicles involved and, to some extent, affects the scientific nature of the used car evaluation system and the standardization of market transactions, hence the necessity for a clear definition. The biggest selling point of used cars is their affordability. With the same amount of money needed to buy a new car, one can purchase a used car of a higher grade. Therefore, from the perspective of reducing car purchase costs, buying a used car is a wiser choice for the general public. Precautions for Selecting a Used Car: Check if the vehicle's documents are complete; incomplete documents might indicate an illegal vehicle. Also, verify that the engine number on the car matches the documents. Inspect the car's chassis for any signs of oil leakage; check the wiring harness in the engine compartment for corrosion or aging; listen for any harsh sounds from the engine after starting the car. Understand the specific condition and history of the car, including the reasons for previous transfers. Also, consider the paperwork and previous usage habits. Multiple transfers mean more people involved, making the procedures more complicated. It's possible that oversights by previous owners could lead to issues like untraceable car history, ultimately making the transfer process impossible.

The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, each engine can only use one engine number and each engine's number is unique.

Where Does Tesla's Core Technological Advantage Lie?

Tesla's core technological advantages lie in its self-developed FSD chip, advanced EEA architecture, etc. Self-developed FSD chip: The FSD chip is a high-performance, dedicated chip designed solely for autonomous driving and safety. The motherboard adopts a complete dual-system redundancy to ensure continued operation even if a functional area encounters issues. With SRAM capacity reaching 2TB per second for storing and processing image data, it far surpasses competing chips. (The cache bandwidth required for full autonomous driving processing must reach at least 1TB per second.) Advanced EEA architecture: The entire EEA architecture consists of three modules: CCM (Central Computing Module), BCMLH (Left Body Control Module), and BCMRH (Right Body Control Module). The central computing module runs LinuxOS, integrating the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) domains, while also managing external connectivity and in-vehicle communication system functions. The left and right body control modules handle the remaining body and convenience systems, safety systems, and partial powertrain control, providing ample convenience for software OTA updates and enabling software-defined vehicles.
