If it's a newly purchased vehicle and all payment and other procedures have been completed, simply contact the seller to cancel the lock; Once financial obligations are settled, the court or public security authorities will naturally assist in removing the lock; When traffic violations exceed or reach the specified point threshold, the vehicle will be locked by traffic police, or if the vehicle reaches its mandatory scrapping age, it will also be forcibly locked.

Last time my car was locked by 12123 because of an unpaid parking ticket. Quickly open the Traffic Management 12123 APP, log in to check the status, and you'll find the unpaid record. Just click the payment button to pay the fine. After payment, wait for the system to refresh automatically, usually the status is lifted within minutes. The whole process is completed online, saving a trip to the DMV. It's recommended to make it a habit to check the APP weekly to prevent small issues from turning into car lock troubles. Drive more carefully to avoid such headaches—fewer violations mean fewer problems. If your car does get locked, don't worry, just follow the APP instructions and you'll be fine.

Which is more unrealistic, CLTC or NEDC?

CLTC is more unrealistic, but it better aligns with the national conditions. The biggest difference between CLTC and NEDC is that the CLTC test cycle yields a longer range than NEDC. The differences between the two are as follows: NEDC: The NEDC range test standard is not only outdated but also significantly differs from the actual road conditions in China compared to Europe. This discrepancy means that the same car might achieve a 500 km range in NEDC testing, but consumers may only get 400 km or even less in real-world usage. Under conditions like highway driving or using air conditioning, the range can be even shorter. CLTC: CLTC was developed under the leadership of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, with the China Automotive Technology and Research Center organizing industry experts to conduct a three-year research and development effort. It involved data from 41 representative cities, nearly 4,000 vehicle models, and over 30 million kilometers of driving data, culminating in this test standard. At a glance, the CLTC test cycle covers a broader, more comprehensive range of conditions and lasts longer.

Will Carbon Deposit Cleaning Affect the Engine?

Cleaning carbon deposits will not affect the engine. Cleaning cycle for carbon deposits in the cylinder: Generally, 4S shops recommend maintenance every 10,000 kilometers. However, drivers can adjust this based on their driving conditions. If you frequently drive on highways, the interval can be extended to 30,000-40,000 kilometers. For other drivers, cleaning can be done every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. Effects of excessive carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits can alter the engine's original structural parameters, reducing engine power and increasing fuel consumption. In severe cases, it may cause engine knocking, abnormal acceleration noises, and damage to pistons and crankshafts. Carbon deposits accumulate layer by layer, becoming thicker and leading to a vicious cycle. In extreme cases, they may block half of the intake valve, eventually resulting in engine oil burning and necessitating major repairs.

Where are the clutch and accelerator located in a car?

The clutch pedal is located on the far left, the accelerator pedal is on the far right, and the brake pedal is positioned between the clutch and accelerator pedals. Introduction to the Clutch: The clutch is situated inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission systems, allowing the drivetrain to be separated or engaged at any time. Introduction to the Accelerator: The accelerator, also known as the 'throttle,' is the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle valve opening to adjust the cylinder's filling volume, thereby determining the engine's output power.

What procedures are required to release a car from mortgage?

The borrower needs to provide documents such as ID card, vehicle license, and bank repayment details to release the car from mortgage. Points to note during the mortgage period: During the mortgage period, the car is subject to a property claim right, meaning that if the debtor fails to repay the due debt, the creditor's mortgage right will be realized, and the car will be used as collateral to settle the due debt. Therefore, buying or selling a car that is under mortgage carries significant risks. Legal basis related to mortgaged cars: According to Article 394 of the Civil Code, which came into effect on January 1, 2021: To secure the performance of a debt, the debtor or a third party may mortgage the property to the creditor without transferring the possession of the property. If the debtor fails to perform the due debt or the circumstances for realizing the mortgage right as agreed by the parties occur, the creditor shall have the priority to be compensated with the property.
