Launch control refers to the phenomenon where the front wheels of a car lift off the ground, overcoming Earth's gravity, at the moment of takeoff and maintain this position for a period of time. Precautions for launch control: 1. As a racing technique, it is recommended to attempt launch control only on closed roads or racetracks. Using launch control on public roads with traffic is dangerous (because the vehicle's kinetic energy is extremely high at the initial stage of launch, making it impossible to brake within a short distance in case of sudden situations). 2. Before performing launch control, ensure that the engine's coolant temperature, oil temperature, and transmission oil temperature have reached normal levels. In winter, it is especially necessary to warm up the car before attempting launch control. 3. Launch control places an extremely high load on the transmission of both manual and automatic cars for a short period. There should be at least a 15-minute cooling period for the transmission between two launch control attempts; otherwise, it will significantly affect the transmission's lifespan.

Why Can't the Spare Key Start the Car?

Spare keys cannot start the car because the vehicle is equipped with an engine electronic anti-theft system. The car can only be started when the system recognizes a chip inside the key that matches the code stored in the anti-theft system. Since spare keys do not contain such a chip, they cannot start the car. Below is some relevant information about the engine electronic anti-theft system: Introduction: The engine electronic chip anti-theft system is a manufacturer-level anti-theft measure, and most passenger cars use this method as their original anti-theft device. Advantage: The digital password has an extremely low repetition rate, and the password key must make contact with the car's password lock to unlock, eliminating the risk of being scanned. Most new domestic cars are already equipped with the original factory chip anti-theft system.

What does 'carrying a vehicle' mean?

Carrying a vehicle is a practice aimed at saving costs such as toll fees, fuel expenses, and tire wear. It refers to long-distance drivers placing one vehicle on the cargo bed of another vehicle, making it appear as if they are carrying a car. While this method is effective and cost-saving, it is highly dangerous and can lead to severe traffic accidents. It has been deemed illegal by some traffic authorities and is now prohibited. The main reasons for not transferring ownership after a vehicle transaction include: the license plate registration location being too far away, making the transfer process costly; vehicles used as debt collateral, where the car may have been involved in multiple debt cycles; deceased owners with unregistered vehicles; transferring both the license plate and the car in areas with purchase restrictions; out-of-town vehicles unable to be registered locally due to migration restrictions; and some scammers selling converted commercial vehicles as low-priced 'carrier vehicles'.

What is the driving range for Beijing motorcycles with Jing B license plates?

Motorcycles with Jing B license plates are prohibited from driving within the Fourth Ring Road at all times. However, the auxiliary roads of the Fourth Ring Road (both inner and outer ring directions) are not within the prohibited area, meaning they can be driven on the auxiliary roads of the Fourth Ring Road. Motorcycles with non-local license plates are prohibited from driving within the Sixth Ring Road at all times. Prohibited range: Motorcycles with non-local license plates: prohibited from driving within the Sixth Ring Road at all times, but the main road of the Sixth Ring Road (both inner and outer ring directions) is not within the prohibited area, meaning they can be driven on the main road of the Sixth Ring Road. This is a new regulation implemented in Beijing on April 11, 2014. Motorcycles with out-of-province license plates are not allowed to enter within the Sixth Ring Road (excluding the main road of the Sixth Ring Road) from April 11, 2014. Currently, traffic police are strictly checking non-local license plate vehicles that illegally enter the Sixth Ring Road. If a motorcyclist traveling long distances accidentally enters the urban area and is stopped by the police, explaining the situation will usually result in leniency from Beijing police. As long as all documents are complete, there is no arbitrary vehicle impoundment. Typically, the police will point out the nearest exit route and allow the motorcyclist to proceed. The entire main road of the Sixth Ring Road is a toll section, with the same toll standards for motorcycles as for passenger vehicles with nine seats or fewer. Out-of-province motorcyclists passing through can choose to drive on the main road of the Sixth Ring Road, but they must comply with national and local laws and regulations. Additionally, the main road of the Sixth Ring Road has many large trucks and narrow lanes, so safety must be a priority.

Can I switch back to a gasoline vehicle license plate after changing to an electric vehicle in Beijing?

Yes, you can switch back. According to the current policy in Beijing, vehicle owners only need to schedule the time and location for the license plate change through the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app, and then proceed with the relevant procedures. The new policy for vehicle indicators in Beijing is as follows: Core content: In addition to the current lottery system for ordinary indicators and the queuing system for new energy indicators based on individual participation, a new method of indicator allocation based on "car-free families" and a points ranking system has been introduced. At the same time, the policy favors "car-free families" by giving them significantly higher chances of winning the lottery for ordinary indicators and a larger quota for new energy indicators compared to individuals, prioritizing the car ownership needs of "car-free families." This is the most important aspect of the policy adjustment. Increased indicators: The schedule for indicator applications and allocations has been adjusted. Instead of six allocations per year, there will now be three allocations—May for new energy indicators, and June and December for ordinary indicators.
