What could be the reason for a Lexus UX failing to start?

Lexus UX failing to start could be due to the following reasons: 1. Generally, carbon buildup in the car's throttle affects throttle response and idle speed. 2. Carbon deposits in the fuel injectors affect the fuel injection volume. 3. Carbon buildup in the intake tract affects the air-fuel mixture concentration. 4. Carbon accumulation on the spark plugs affects ignition. Note: If any of the above situations occur, it is necessary to promptly visit a 4S shop to identify the fault symptoms. Additional information: 1. Audi is currently a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, and when purchasing a car, you can buy it at an Audi 4S dealership. 2. If the car fails to start, it is essential to promptly visit a 4S shop to check the car's engine system to prevent affecting the car's operation and inconveniencing the owner.

As an expert frequently dealing with Lexus vehicles, I believe the failure to start a UX model can stem from various causes. First, check the battery—insufficient charge is a common issue, especially when the car has been idle for extended periods, leading to natural discharge. Observe whether dashboard lights illuminate; if there's no response at all, try jump-starting. Next, inspect the key—the UX features a smart key system, and if the key battery is depleted, reduced remote sensing distance may affect ignition. Try replacing the coin battery. A faulty starter will produce no sound when turning the key, while fuel pump issues might involve a hissing noise without ignition. Blown fuses, damaged relays, or high-voltage hybrid battery failures can also cause similar symptoms. I recommend regular battery health checks, replacing it every two years, and avoiding prolonged inactivity. If simple fixes fail, promptly visit a dealership for diagnostics—they have equipment to read fault codes.

From my personal car usage experience, this situation is quite frustrating: First, check if the car battery is aging, as it's particularly prone to issues in cold weather. Open the hood and use a voltmeter to test the battery's charge or get a jump start from someone. The key is another point—replacing the battery in my UX key solved the problem. Pay attention to the sounds when starting: no sound might indicate a stuck ignition switch or starter; a buzzing noise could mean the fuel pump isn’t working. Also, check the fuse box to see if the headlight or starting circuit-related fuses are blown. Don’t forget that low antifreeze levels can also affect engine warm-up. For safety, avoid repeatedly attempting to start the car to prevent damage—calling roadside assistance is a more reliable option. Regular maintenance and paying attention to these components can help prevent sudden breakdowns.

As a new car owner, I was terrified when my UX wouldn't start last time. Turned out the key fob battery was dead: Try manually unlocking the car door with the key to see if it works. If not, simply replace the key battery. Battery issues are common - when the dashboard goes dark, try jump-starting with a power bank. A faulty starter motor shows no response when turning the key, while fuel system problems may produce faint noises without ignition. Remember not to force the key - either ask a car-savvy friend to check connections or visit a repair shop.

Do You Need to Cross the Zebra Crossing When Making a U-Turn?

It depends on the situation: If the gap is marked with a solid line, you must cross the zebra crossing to make a U-turn and are subject to traffic signals; if the gap is marked with a dashed line, you do not need to cross the zebra crossing and are not affected by traffic signals. In this case, you can make a U-turn directly as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. Note that you cannot make a U-turn on the zebra crossing. If you do, according to Article 90 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," you will be penalized with a 3-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. When making a U-turn that requires crossing the zebra crossing, you must yield to pedestrians: If pedestrians are walking on the right side of the crosswalk and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles must stop; failing to do so is a violation and will be penalized. If pedestrians enter the motorized lane from the crosswalk, vehicles must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Failing to stop is a violation and will be penalized. If pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane, vehicles must stop; failing to do so is a violation and will be penalized. If pedestrians cross the centerline and enter the motorized lane, vehicles must stop; failing to do so is a violation and will be penalized. If the road is divided by a green belt and pedestrians are waiting in the middle, vehicles must slow down and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Cases where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make the U-turn without interfering with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No left turn" signs or solid centerlines. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines. These lines indicate no-parking zones but do not prohibit U-turns unless there is a central barrier. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions—only proceed on green. If there are both "No left turn" and "U-turn allowed" signs, U-turns are permitted but left turns are not. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No left turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check the road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a "No left turn" sign, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, as U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. If you interfere with their right of way, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane is not always for left turns—some may have straight arrows. Even without explicit prohibitions, U-turns are not allowed in such lanes.
