Detailed Explanation and Solutions for No Response After Inserting the Car Key: 1. The car is out of fuel. Solution: Check the fuel level before starting the car and refuel in time. 2. The battery is low on power, which may prevent the car from starting. Solution: Press the horn to check the battery power level. 3. The gear is not in the correct position, which may prevent the car from starting when shifting improperly. Solution: Place the gear in P (Park) or N (Neutral) to start the car normally. 4. Spark plug failure. The car's ability to start normally depends on whether the spark plugs are functioning properly. If the car fails to start, check the spark plugs. 5. Clogged fuel lines. Using low-quality fuel may clog the fuel lines. Solution: Clean the fuel lines promptly. 6. Damaged fuel pump. A damaged fuel pump may cause fuel supply issues.

A few days ago, my car also had the issue where inserting the key didn't get any response, which made me quite nervous. It could be a problem with the key itself, such as a dead battery—especially if the small battery in the smart key is depleted—and replacing it with a new one would solve the issue. Or the key might be bent or worn out, making it impossible to insert into the ignition slot. The car's ignition switch could also be the culprit; after years of use, the contacts may get dirty or oxidized, requiring cleaning or replacement. Additionally, if the car battery is weak, the entire electrical system may fail, making it seem like there's no power when the key is inserted. For safety, don't panic in such situations—ensure the car is in a safe spot and turn on the hazard lights for help. As a preventive measure, regularly checking the key battery and maintaining the switch can save a lot of trouble. This experience has made me pay more attention to detail in maintenance—taking care of a car is just as important as taking care of oneself, so don't delay addressing issues.

How many points are deducted for not using turn signals at right-angle turns?

Not using turn signals or using them incorrectly results in a deduction of 10 points per occurrence. The specific regulations are as follows: Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a deduction of 10 points. Using turn signals for less than 3 seconds before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a deduction of 10 points. There are 6 instances in Subject 2 where turn signals must be used: 1. Turn on the left turn signal when starting the vehicle. 2. Turn on the left turn signal when starting on a slope. 3. Turn on the right turn signal when pulling over for parallel parking, stopping 30 cm from the curb before reversing. 4. Turn on the left turn signal before shifting into reverse gear for parallel parking, as the steering wheel will be turned fully to the right during reversing, causing the front of the car to shift left. 5. Turn on the left turn signal before exiting the parking space in parallel parking, shifting into drive gear, and turn it off promptly after exiting. 6. Turn on the left turn signal when entering a right-angle turn and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, 10 points, or 5 points. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required. ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for small vehicles (C1, C2) include reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and S-curve driving (some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection). The test items for large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2) include pole testing, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, S-curve driving, right-angle turns, limited-width gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, and simulations for highways, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What is the purpose of the air vent under the seat?

The air vent under the seat is an air conditioning outlet. Here are some precautions regarding the use of car air conditioning: 1. Placement and replacement: Avoid placing items near the air intake of the air conditioning system to prevent blockage, which could hinder air circulation. The air purifier of the air conditioning system should be replaced regularly. The deodorizing filter should be replaced approximately every 3 months or after the car has run about 5,000 kilometers. 2. Monitor coolant temperature: The air conditioning system should be used when the engine coolant temperature is normal. If the engine is under heavy load, causing the coolant temperature to rise excessively, stop using the air conditioning and wait until the coolant temperature returns to normal before turning it on again.

What are the causes of the Jeep Cherokee's low beam light malfunction?

Regarding the causes and solutions for the Jeep Cherokee's low beam light malfunction, the following points are outlined: 1. Short circuit in the headlight: Faulty car voltage or fuse issues, replacing the fuse with a direct wire connection or twisted wires can cause a short circuit. Solution: Inspect the circuit and fuse, then proceed with repairs or replacement. 2. Water ingress in the headlight: Headlights should not be submerged in water. While driving, water splashing onto the front of the car generally does not affect the headlights. However, during car washing, opening the front hood and using a high-pressure water gun to rinse the engine and headlights can easily lead to water ingress. Solution: Remove the headlight for cleaning or replacement.
