FAW is a central state-owned enterprise, while SAIC and GAC are state-owned enterprises. Comparing SAIC and GAC, SAIC has stronger capabilities and more outstanding profitability. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: Industries like FAW, SAIC, and GAC were established to meet the government's requirement that foreign automotive capital does not exceed a 50% share ratio in joint ventures. Apart from Changan Automobile, the other four major state-owned automakers are directly under central government management. Note 2: Currently, domestic cars are on the rise, with private enterprises and state-owned enterprises each accounting for about half of the market share. FAW, Dongfeng, and Changan are considered central state-owned enterprises, while BAIC, SAIC, and GAC are state-owned enterprises. Companies like Brilliance, Geely, and Great Wall are private enterprises.

I think the most obvious differences between GAC and SAIC are their geographical locations and brand portfolios. GAC is headquartered in Guangzhou and primarily collaborates with Japanese brands like Toyota and Honda. Common models on the streets, such as the Camry and Accord, are mostly produced by GAC. SAIC is based in Shanghai and works closely with German and American brands, such as Volkswagen and Buick. Cars like the Passat and Excelle are mostly manufactured by SAIC. Both companies also develop their own brands—GAC with Trumpchi, and SAIC with Roewe and MG. Trumpchi has adopted a more youthful design in recent years, while MG carries a hint of British flavor. Their sales networks also differ, with GAC dealerships being more common in southern China. Additionally, in terms of R&D direction, SAIC is more invested in internet-connected vehicles, while GAC's hybrid technology is quite interesting.

Both state-owned automakers have strong backgrounds but distinct styles. GAC is rooted in the Pearl River Delta, dominating the market with Japanese-branded vehicles known for fuel efficiency and durability – the GAC Honda Accord being a prime example. SAIC, located in the Yangtze River Delta, excels in German-style precision manufacturing, with models like the SAIC Volkswagen Lavida achieving remarkable sales. For indigenous brands, GAC's Trumpchi GS4 SUV appeals to family users, while SAIC's MG leans towards sportier designs. Another difference lies in their NEV strategies: GAC's Aion EVs are ubiquitous on roads, whereas SAIC's Rising Auto and IM Motors target premium segments. Regarding production scale, SAIC leads domestic capacity rankings, while GAC, though smaller, shows rapid growth momentum.

What is the HOLD light?

HOLD light is the gear lock indicator light. When the HOLD light is on, it indicates that the gear is locked in a specific position. When driving uphill or on icy/snowy roads that require low-gear operation, you can activate HOLD to lock the transmission in second gear. The button for this switch is located in the middle of the gear lever. Pressing it again will deactivate the function. Normally, it's not recommended to use this feature as it may harm the transmission. Automatic gear lock is a forced downshift key, used when gears get stuck or during towing. When HOLD is activated, the parking brake system will automatically engage each time the vehicle comes to a complete stop after braking. You'll feel a release of pressure on the brake pedal, at which point you can release the pedal without worrying about the vehicle rolling. Working principle of gear lock indicator light: The transmission control unit uses this sensor to detect the gear selected by the driver and performs corresponding control actions. Relationship between neutral switch and gear position switch: In older vehicles, the P (Park) and N (Neutral) switches were connected in series with the starter motor switch, meaning the engine could only be started in these two positions. In newer vehicles, the control unit identifies the neutral signal first, then decides whether to engage the starter motor.

What Causes Difficulty in Removing the Car Key?

Car key difficulty in removal can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. P gear not properly engaged: When exiting the vehicle, the gear was not shifted to P or the P gear did not fully engage, possibly obstructed by an object, thus failing to trigger the electronic sensor. 2. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when parking, causing an abnormal lock. The solution is to insert the key, attempt to turn the steering wheel left and right while twisting the key, which will release the steering wheel lock. 3. Obstruction in the key slot: The solution involves removing the obstruction, starting the car, shifting the gear again to ensure it is fully engaged, after which the key can be removed.
