Possible reasons: engine system failure; body network failure; anti-theft system failure. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Analysis and confirmation: After receiving the vehicle, test driving confirms the fault phenomenon is true. Based on the fault phenomenon, the main causes of this fault are analyzed as follows: engine system failure; body network failure; anti-theft system failure. 2. Note: When attempting to start the engine, it is found that the starter can operate normally, but the engine fails to start, and the anti-theft indicator light on the dashboard extinguishes normally after self-check. Based on this phenomenon, body network failure is preliminarily ruled out, because if the engine's failure to start is caused by a network failure, pressing the start button would result in the dashboard lights turning on and then instantly turning off, with the starter showing no response. If it's an anti-theft system failure, the anti-theft light on the dashboard would not extinguish after self-check when the key is turned on.

Will an A2 driver's license be downgraded if 12 points are deducted at once?

An A2 driver's license will not be downgraded if 12 points are deducted. According to the new regulations implemented on April 1, 2022, if an A2 license holder accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, the license will not be downgraded. Instead, the driver must participate in the study and examination of Subject 1 to clear the violation points and retrieve the driver's license. The A2 driver's license permits the operation of tractor-trailers, which can tow heavy and medium full trailers or semi-trailers. Trailers are divided into two types: full trailers and semi-trailers. A full trailer bears its total weight independently, while a semi-trailer shares part of its total weight with the towing vehicle. Only drivers with an A2 license can operate such tractor-trailers; even those with an A1 license are not permitted to drive them. To downgrade an A2 driver's license, the driver must visit the local vehicle management office with their ID card and driver's license. An A2 license can be downgraded to a B1 or B2 license. The A2 license corresponds to tractor-trailers, the B1 license to medium-sized buses, and the B2 license to large trucks. Other vehicle types that an A2 license holder can drive include: B1 (medium-sized buses), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled vehicles), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). Article 68 of the new traffic regulations stipulates that the vehicle management office shall revoke the highest driving qualification of drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractor-trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks under the following circumstances and notify the driver to complete the downgrade and license exchange within 30 days: 1. Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility without constituting a crime. 2. Accumulating 12 points in a scoring cycle. 3. Failing to participate in the review for three consecutive scoring cycles. A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driver's license, is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. It certifies that the holder has the necessary driving skills and knowledge of traffic regulations. Driving a motor vehicle requires specific skills, and those lacking such skills may cause accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on public roads without a license. However, those who have mastered safe driving techniques are allowed to drive with a 'driver's license.' The permission to drive is granted through the issuance of a driver's license, indicating that obtaining a license is a formal process overseen by designated authorities. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as 'a document issued by competent authorities permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle.' In China, a driver's license is defined as a legal credential issued by administrative authorities to individuals who have learned and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, allowing them to operate specific types of motor vehicles after passing the required examinations.

How to Deal with a Rear Wiper That Won't Turn Off?

Open the car's front hood to locate the wiper motor. You can touch the wiper motor by hand; if it feels hot, it indicates a short circuit. If the wiper switch is faulty and causes the wiper to keep running, consider using a multimeter to test the switch's condition or simply replace it with a new one for testing. If the wiper keeps running non-stop, it is likely due to a fault in the wiper motor's wiring.

Why was the FAW Senya R9 discontinued?

Since the launch of the Senya R9, despite its strong sales performance, quality issues gradually emerged. The most severe problems were engine oil leakage and body rust. Severe engine oil leakage can lead to insufficient oil levels, which in turn can cause engine damage. Consequently, car owners strongly demanded that FAW Jilin provide corresponding solutions. However, instead of resolving the issues, the model was directly discontinued. Below are some relevant details: Exterior: The headlights are the most striking feature, adopting a design similar to the German Touareg, with a chrome strip connecting them as one unit. The storm-style front grille highlights a fashionable and bold look, while the overall lines of the front face are smooth and highly original. The black trim and floating roof enhance the bold and dynamic appearance, and the dual exhaust pipes and chrome accents at the rear cater to Chinese consumers' tastes. Interior: The dashboard design embodies extreme minimalism—simple, practical, and uncluttered. The three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and the large central display screen exude a strong sense of technology. The volume and function buttons are mechanical, which is crucial for safe driving and convenient for blind operation. Notably, the interior door panels use faux leather materials, adding a touch of luxury.
