GAC FCA Jeep halted production for the following reasons: 1. Slow new car development: In 2017, GAC FCA found itself in an awkward situation with no new models introduced, relying only on minor updates of existing models to maintain market interest. Although sales eventually peaked at 220,000 units, this was followed by a lack of momentum. 2. Poor product reputation: The actual performance of the products failed to satisfy, with many reviews trending negative. Additionally, the issue of 2.4L engines burning oil was exposed by CCTV and led to owner protests, pushing the so-called 'American luxury brand' Jeep into the spotlight for negative reasons in China. 3. Unclear positioning: The new models suffered from ambiguous positioning and an overly self-important brand tone. Jeep has long positioned itself as a luxury brand in the Chinese market.

Is driving at 130 km/h on a highway with a 120 km/h speed limit considered a traffic violation?

Driving at 130 km/h on a highway with a 120 km/h speed limit is considered a traffic violation, but if the speeding is within 10%, only a warning will be issued without penalty. Penalties for speeding on highways: If the speeding exceeds the limit by less than 10%, no penalty will be imposed; if the speeding exceeds the limit by 10% to 20%, a fine will be issued with 3 demerit points; if the speeding exceeds the limit by 20% to 50%, a fine will be issued with 6 demerit points; if the speeding exceeds the limit by more than 50%, a fine will be issued with 12 demerit points. Dangers of speeding: Higher speeds inherently mean that the vehicle has stronger inertia to maintain straight-line driving, resulting in poorer directional control and greater risks. In case of an emergency ahead, it is difficult for the driver to control the vehicle's speed and direction within a short time. Speeding increases the difference in airflow speed between the top and bottom of the vehicle body, thereby weakening the adhesion performance between the tires and the road surface and reducing the stability of the vehicle.

What Causes the Car to Shake When Shifting to D Gear?

It is normal for an automatic transmission car to experience slight shaking when shifting to D gear, especially for vehicles equipped with a torque converter in the AT transmission. This phenomenon is more noticeable because, in neutral, the engine's power is transmitted to the transmission input shaft through the torque converter. When shifting gears, the transmission engages while the input shaft is still rotating, resulting in an impact. However, some automatic transmissions use multi-plate clutches or dry clutches to transfer power between the engine and transmission. In these cases, the clutch is completely disengaged during gear shifts, eliminating the impact force and making the shaking less noticeable. Here is more information about car shaking when shifting to D gear: 1. Generally, during normal use, the body shaking when shifting from N to D gear is not very noticeable. Significant shaking is usually caused by the following situations: ① The engine speed is too high. For example, when the engine speed is high during a cold start, the torque converter transmits more power, resulting in a stronger impact and more noticeable shaking when shifting gears. ② The brake is not pressed firmly. When shifting gears, the engine power is directly transmitted to the wheels. If the brake is not pressed firmly, the wheels may move slightly when shifting to D gear, causing the car to jerk forward and creating a stronger shaking sensation. ③ The brake is released too early. This is most common when waiting at a traffic light. After the light turns green, the driver shifts gears and releases the brake to start moving, but the car suddenly jerks forward when the brake is released. This happens because releasing the brake too early causes an abrupt power engagement. The automatic transmission gear lever does not directly control the gear position; it is merely a signal device. Different gear positions generate different signals for the transmission control system, which then controls the gear shift. However, the transmission takes some time to complete the shift. Therefore, when shifting to D gear, the transmission gears are not yet engaged. By the time the brake is released, the gears have engaged, and the sudden power delivery to the drive wheels without the braking restriction causes the car to jerk forward. 2. Avoiding body shaking when shifting to D gear is simple: shift gears when the engine speed is stable, press the brake firmly when shifting, and release the brake only after feeling the power being transmitted to the wheels. Following these steps will significantly reduce noticeable shaking during gear shifts.

What is the engine model of the BMW 1M?

The N54B30 twin-turbocharged engine is the engine model used in the BMW 1M, with a maximum horsepower of 340 hp, a maximum power output of 250 KW, a maximum power speed of 5900 rpm, and a peak torque of 450 N.m. The new BMW 1M 1 Series is equipped with three displacement turbocharged engines, namely 1.6T, 2.0T, and 3.0T engines, all manufactured in Germany. For the daily maintenance of the BMW 1M's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

After receiving demerit points on a driver's license, you can earn back points by studying on the Traffic Management 12123 app. However, currently, not all cities support the policy of earning back points through study, and the rules for earning back points on a driver's license are only being piloted in certain areas. You can check the official website of the local traffic management department or the Traffic Management 12123 app for more information. Earning back points through study refers to participating in study sessions when demerit points have been recorded on the driver's license. After passing the exam, the system will deduct points from the driver's accumulated demerit points. However, this method cannot be used in cases of severe accidents. Methods to earn back points through study: First, open the Traffic Management 12123 app, enter your account and password to log in. If it's your first time logging in, click "Register Now" at the bottom, fill in the relevant information as prompted, complete the registration, and then return to the login page to log in. After entering the homepage, click "More," scroll down to the "Education and Learning Services" section, and click the "Study to Reduce Points" function. On the "Study to Reduce Points" page, there are two ways to reduce points: online study and exams or public welfare activities. Choose one to participate in. If you choose online study and exams, submit your study information as prompted. After approval, you can choose video or document study. After completing 30 minutes of study, you can take the exam. Passing the exam will reduce one point from your driver's license. If you choose to participate in public welfare activities, after entering the registration page, select an activity with a suitable time and location. After successful registration, follow the specified time to participate in a one-hour traffic guidance or traffic safety education activity at the designated location to reduce one point from your driver's license.

Will Running a Red Light at Night Definitely Be Captured?

If there are surveillance cameras, they will capture the violation. Whether a motor vehicle runs a red light while turning left or going straight, it constitutes illegal behavior. According to the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, vehicles must obey traffic signals, including traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings, and the directions of traffic police. If both the left-turn signal and the straight signal are green, proceeding straight from a left-turn lane violates the designated lane rules. When the left-turn signal is red, it will be penalized as running a red light. Based on the following points, you can avoid running a red light: First observe the arrow signal, then the circular signal: Currently, there are two types of traffic signals: arrow traffic lights and circular indicator traffic lights. When arrow signals are present, first check the arrow signal and then the circular signal to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, you may turn right; when encountering an arrow signal where the right-turn arrow is red, you must not turn right, otherwise it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake promptly: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of your vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, and it will be penalized as running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the signal turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light before continuing. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, use it to judge whether to proceed. If there is no countdown and your vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, you may proceed to avoid running a red light due to delayed braking. If your speed is slow and you are far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle signals or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the act as running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic signals, the evidence photos may be blurry. In such cases, mistakenly running a red light will not be penalized. Emergency situations: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights is inevitable, and the 12-point penalty system would be insufficient. After delivering the patient, obtain proof from the hospital or the person assisted and verify it with the traffic police. If confirmed, the violation records can be expunged. If possible, calling an ambulance is advisable to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow the gestures of the traffic police. The traffic police department states that according to the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when the yellow light flashes at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If you rush through when the yellow light is already on, it will be considered running a red light if captured.
