Roewe R5 may experience failures due to: poor gasoline quality, damaged or loose oxygen sensor or sensor connector, engine knocking, unclean engine cylinder interior, accumulated carbon deposits, etc. The specific cause depends on which warning light is illuminated. It is recommended to use a diagnostic computer to read the fault code in order to identify the faulty component and the cause of the failure. Roewe R5: The Roewe R5 is a compact SUV under the Roewe brand, with dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Power: The Roewe R5 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across all models, with a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm.

I've been driving for ten years, and the common faults of the Roewe R5 are mostly in the mechanical parts. For example, the engine shakes violently when starting, which might be due to carbon buildup on the spark plugs or clutch disc wear. Sometimes, the transmission shifts roughly with annoying creaking sounds. Oil leakage is also a recurring issue—last time, I had an oil seepage problem, and it turned out to be a worn-out gasket, costing me nearly a thousand to fix. Frequent battery drain is another problem, especially in winter when the car sits for a while and won't start. I recommend regular maintenance, checking the oil lines and drivetrain every 6,000 kilometers, and using a high-quality lubricant to prevent many issues.

What does it mean when the ABS light is on in a Buick Excelle?

When the ABS light is displayed in a car, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. If the wheels lock up during emergency braking, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, which poses significant safety risks. There are several states in which the ABS light may illuminate, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on constantly (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed and the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal quality due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Inspect the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently turns on and off, extinguishing when accelerating. Cause: When multiple electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases, the voltage rises, and the ABS light turns off. This may also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, such as due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine startup until the engine is turned off. Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw on the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the fuel tank cap label. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently turns on and off. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if necessary.

Are New Energy Vehicles Afraid of Sun Exposure in Summer?

New energy vehicles, due to their large battery capacity, can suffer from prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which may damage the battery pack, reduce its lifespan, and even pose a risk of spontaneous combustion. Additionally, it's important to note that charging should be avoided during extreme heat to prevent fire hazards. Here are some summer car sun protection tips: 1. Park indoors or in shaded areas: The best option for car sun protection is an indoor parking lot, as it minimizes the impact of weather conditions throughout the year. If parking temporarily on the roadside, choose a spot under a shady tree. 2. Sunshade and heat insulation film: Most heat insulation films can block over 90% of UV rays and more than 30% of infrared rays. High-quality films not only provide heat insulation but also help in cooling. 3. Sunshade covers and curtains: Sunshade covers effectively block sunlight and reduce the interior temperature. If sunshade covers seem cumbersome, car sunshades with aluminum foil can be a good alternative due to their strong sunlight reflection and noticeable cooling effect.

Can I retake the Subject 1 test the next day if I fail?

You need to wait 10 days to schedule a retake. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 retest twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second retest. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject 1 test, you need a score of 90 or above. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point (total score: 100). If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates must dress appropriately (no slippers), and electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity and proceed to your assigned seat. Follow exam discipline, ensuring the camera is aligned with you. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail again, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, only five attempts are allowed, and retakes must be scheduled at least 10 days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject 1 (traffic laws and regulations), Subject 2 (field driving skills), and Subject 3 (road driving skills and safe driving knowledge). The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, often unofficially called "Subject 4," though this term is not used in official regulations (e.g., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
