Insufficient battery voltage, fuel supply system malfunctions, and poor ignition system performance can all lead to a situation where the car has power but fails to start while producing abnormal noises. Insufficient Battery Voltage: Battery failure or excessive discharge can result in insufficient power, making it unable to drive the starter motor. Normally, the starting voltage of the battery should not be lower than 11.45V. If the voltage is below this threshold, the car will not start properly. You can use a multimeter to check the voltage between the battery terminals. If necessary, replace the battery or use jumper cables to start the car. Fuel Supply System Malfunction: Blockages in the low-pressure fuel line, loose or leaking pipes, air in the high-pressure fuel line, poor technical condition of the injectors, or incorrect injection timing can all cause fuel supply system malfunctions. In such cases, there will be insufficient combustible gas in the cylinders, preventing the car from starting. It is necessary to visit a repair facility to systematically check whether all components of the fuel supply system are functioning properly. Poor Ignition System Performance: Components such as the ignition coil and spark plugs in the ignition system are wear-prone parts and typically need to be replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If they are not replaced for a long time, the insufficient ignition energy will fail to completely ignite the combustible gas mixture in the cylinders, preventing the car from starting.

What is the ground clearance of the Qashqai?

The ground clearance of the Qashqai is 188mm. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to indicate the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. The greater the ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles or uneven terrain; conversely, the smaller the ground clearance, the weaker this ability. The Qashqai is a compact SUV under Dongfeng Nissan. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The Qashqai is equipped with a 9-inch high-definition capacitive touchscreen and the NissanConnect system, providing smart voice control, 24/7 entertainment, full-time navigation, and remote real-time monitoring, among other connectivity technologies.

Can a dash cam capture scratches when parked?

Can a dash cam capture scratches when parked? If the dash cam has this feature and it is not turned off, the footage of the scratch will be automatically saved in the recorder. However, most dash cams only record the view in front of the vehicle. Only a full-coverage dash cam can monitor the entire car. In such cases, you can also check nearby security or residential surveillance cameras. Dash cams with parking monitoring can continue recording after the engine is turned off, but they usually only work for a few minutes since the dash cam is not charging when the vehicle is off. The parking monitoring function of a dash cam comes in two types: one is continuous recording, and the other is short-term recording that activates only when the vehicle detects vibrations.

How many points are deducted for running a red light?

Running a red light results in a deduction of 6 points. Running a red light refers to the act where motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, or pedestrians cross the stop line and continue moving despite the traffic signal indicating a red light, which prohibits passage. The extended meaning of running a red light is often used to describe actions that go beyond existing rules or violate laws or moral standards. Regardless of the reason, any violation of running a red light will be penalized according to the law. However, the video surveillance equipment at intersections is very cautious in collecting information about red light violations each time, requiring a 'three-trial review.' This means that to confirm a vehicle has run a red light, three pieces of photographic evidence are needed: one before the vehicle crosses the line, one after crossing the line, and one as it enters the intersection. Generally, the photo of the vehicle entering the intersection can clearly show whether the vehicle forcibly passed through during a red light.
