How to Resolve the Locking Failure of the Baojun 560 Electronic Steering Lock?

Baojun 560 electronic steering lock failure may be caused by low car voltage, the steering column lock not being unlocked, or the remote key not matching the system, preventing the steering column lock from unlocking. Alternatively, the steering column itself may be faulty. A detailed diagnosis at a 4S shop is required for specific issues. Here is additional information: 1. Hazards: Baojun 560 electronic steering lock failure can cause the car to drift while driving, meaning the car may automatically veer to one side even when the steering wheel is held steady. This could be due to inaccurate front and rear wheel alignment or inconsistent alignment parameters, or bent/deformed left/right steering tie rods with excessive hinge clearance. It may also lead to heavy steering, making it difficult to turn the wheel left or right. Causes could include inaccurate front wheel alignment or insufficient tire pressure. Immediate repair is necessary to avoid affecting normal driving. 2. Reading Fault Codes: If none of the above reasons explain the electronic steering lock failure, visit a repair shop to read the fault codes. Repairs can then be carried out based on the specific fault codes. A decoder is required for diagnosing the fault codes.

How to Turn Off the Tire Pressure Warning Light?

The tire pressure warning light can be turned off in the dashboard settings menu. Here are specific and safe methods to turn off the tire pressure warning light: Turn off the engine: Drive slowly to a safe location, park the vehicle, and turn off the engine. Wait 1-2 minutes, then restart the vehicle. After the vehicle stabilizes, check the tire pressure values displayed on the dashboard. Drive to an auto repair shop: Both underinflation and overinflation can trigger the tire pressure warning light. Drive slowly to an auto repair or detailing shop to adjust the tire pressure. If you have a personal inflation device, you can adjust it on the spot. Inflate or deflate the tires: While inflating or deflating the tires, monitor the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard. Stop inflating once the light turns off. If overinflated, release excess air (preferably with assistance). Manual reset: If the light remains on after adjustment, a manual reset may be required. Locate the settings button on the dashboard (usually labeled "SET") to reset the tire pressure monitoring system. Professional reset: If the vehicle does not support manual reset, ensure the tire pressure is normal and have a technician use a specialized diagnostic tool to clear the fault code. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure warnings: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. Inspect the tires and adjust the pressure accordingly. Unreset tire pressure monitoring system: After inflating the tires, failure to reset the system may cause it to display outdated data, triggering the warning light. Simply perform a system reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the warning light will illuminate. A damaged sensor must be replaced.

What are the consequences of not renewing a driver's license after 6 years?

If a driver's license is not renewed after 6 years, it will be completely revoked, and the driver must retake the driving test to drive again. Time regulations: If the license is expired for less than a year, it can be renewed normally; if expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be revoked, but it can be renewed by passing the subject one test; if expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Penalties for driving with an expired license: Driving a motor vehicle during the expiration period is prohibited and may be treated as driving without a license. If the license is expired for less than a year, the driver can renew it at any time, but driving on the road will result in a fine of 200 yuan. If the license is expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will revoke it. If the expiration period is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one test to restore driving privileges. Driving during this period may result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. If the license is expired for more than three years, it will be completely revoked, and the driver must retake the driving test to drive again. Otherwise, driving on the road will be treated as driving without a license, resulting in a fine of 2000 yuan and administrative detention for up to 15 days.

Will only ETC be allowed on highways in the future?

In the future, highways will accept both ETC and manual toll collection. The government promotes ETC for advocacy and support purposes, but does not mandate it. Vehicle owners can voluntarily apply for ETC. ETC (Electronic Toll Collection): A non-stop electronic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and a microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This system processes transactions through computer networking technology with banks, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees. ETC's deduction principle: Highways will have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard electronic tag on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, the system performs backend settlement with banks via computer networking. This achieves the goal of vehicles paying tolls without stopping at highway or bridge toll stations, all based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon solution that reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping; Reduced wear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, thus lowering wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation smart cards will be widely implemented in key city clusters, and the proportion of vehicles using ETC will significantly increase." The plan also set a target of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles on highways by 2020." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will include promoting ETC for trucks and exploring deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC usage.

Does a nine-year-old car require annual inspection?

No, according to the new regulations, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years are included in the exemption range. For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but less than 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once per year to once every two years. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, meaning annual inspections for vehicles aged 10 to 15 years, and inspections every six months for vehicles over 15 years old. The new regulations for private vehicle annual inspection items are as follows: 1. Additional inspection step: The online inspection process for private vehicles now includes a "safety defect recall" step. If a vehicle has safety issues and is subject to a manufacturer recall, the inspector will notify the owner. 2. Clarified exterior inspection scope: The new regulations specify and relax the exterior inspection standards, allowing modifications such as grilles, running boards, roof racks, bumpers, and wheel rims. Here is relevant information: 1. Exemption range: The exemption range for motor vehicles has been expanded from the original ≤6 seats to 7-9 seat non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles. This means that after November 20th, 7-9 seat non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles under 6 years old can enjoy the exemption policy. 2. Inspection cycle: The new certificate shows that the inspection cycle for the first 6 years of private vehicles remains unchanged, while vehicles aged 6-10 years will be inspected every two years instead of annually. In other words, exempted vehicles will be inspected every two years within 10 years, but only the 6th and 8th years require on-site inspections.
