Volvo is not wholly owned by Geely. Below is relevant information about Volvo: Origin: In 1999, Volvo Group sold its Volvo Cars division to Ford Motor Company of the United States. In 2010, Chinese automaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group acquired Volvo Cars from Ford and obtained ownership of the Volvo Cars brand. Logo Meaning: The name "Volvo" first appeared on a SKF ball bearing and was officially registered as a trademark with the Swedish Royal Patent and Trademark Office. From that day forward, every set of automotive ball and roller bearings produced by SKF bore the new Volvo logo on their sides.

As a car enthusiast, I've been following this matter for a long time. Volvo Cars is indeed wholly owned by Geely, which acquired it from Ford in 2010. That acquisition was crucial, reportedly costing $1.8 billion to secure full brand ownership. I think Geely used this approach to rapidly expand into international markets. For example, the later-launched XC series SUVs became extremely popular in China, and they shared many safety technologies. However, it's important to note that this doesn't include Volvo Group's commercial vehicle division, only the passenger car segment. On car forums, some people worry that the acquisition might affect quality, but in reality, Geely has allowed it to operate more independently, actually boosting global sales. If you want more detailed information, you can check Geely's annual reports or search for acquisition records on their official website. As a fan, I think this deal was executed brilliantly, making Chinese automakers stronger.

Will running a red light on national highways generally be captured?

Running a red light on national highways is generally captured. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic monitoring devices capture three photos as evidence for a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signals, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as braking might not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line or approach an intersection.

Is it difficult to book the Subject 3 test?

Booking a test slot is not on a first-come, first-served basis, but rather depends on the overall ranking number to determine whether the booking is successful. Additional information: Precautions for the Subject 3 test: Starting with the door not fully closed results in failure. Failing to observe the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and look back to check the traffic conditions before starting results in failure. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral results in failure. Starting without releasing the parking brake and failing to correct it in time results in failure. Starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting it in time results in a 10-point deduction. Failing to release the start switch in time after the engine starts results in a 10-point deduction. Not using the horn reasonably in complex road traffic situations results in a 5-point deduction.

What lights to use when meeting on narrow roads or bridges at night?

When driving through narrow roads or bridges at night, it is best to alternate between high and low beams. According to Articles 48, 51, and 58 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when meeting another vehicle at night, switch to low beams at least 150 meters away from the oncoming vehicle. When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals at night, use low beams when turning. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, use low beams. Drive with low beams on well-lit roads. When a motor vehicle passes through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, alternate between high and low beams to signal. When driving in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights. When driving in foggy conditions, turn on the fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Under normal nighttime weather conditions, do not turn on the fog lights, as they can be very glaring to oncoming drivers. Do not use high beams in foggy conditions, as the upward-angled light beam causes diffuse reflection off the fog, creating a blinding white haze in front of the vehicle and reducing visibility for the driver.

How to Add Refrigerant Oil to a Car Compressor?

Open the car hood and locate the high-pressure and low-pressure pipes of the air conditioning system. The larger one is the low-pressure pipe, and the smaller one is the high-pressure pipe. Check if the filling valve is qualified, and avoid using inferior filling valves. Connect the high-pressure and low-pressure pipes of the air conditioning system to the red and blue hoses on the air conditioning pressure gauge device, and connect the yellow hose to the vacuum oil extractor. Turn off the vacuum machine and disconnect the high-pressure pipe. Before use, shake the bottle up and down to ensure the contents are evenly mixed, and add the appropriate amount through the compressor channel as needed.
