The EV limitation of BYD Qin Plus DM-i refers to a type of fault issue in electric vehicles (BEV/PHEV, etc.), where the high-voltage electrical system fails to function properly. This involves components such as the battery pack, onboard charging device, electric drive and control electronic system, air conditioning compressor, and other electrical appliances. Reasons for triggering EV function limitation: The first reason is that the vehicle's high-voltage management system detects a structural open circuit in the high-voltage interlock loop. To protect personnel safety, it disconnects the high-voltage circuit electrical connection. The second reason is functional high-voltage interlock, typically where sensors, based on detected critical vehicle data status, disconnect the high-voltage circuit electrical connection to ensure personnel safety and prevent further vehicle damage. Both reasons can lead to vehicle performance limitations, resulting in the EV function being restricted. Possible scenarios when EV function is limited: Fault alarm: This alerts the driver through dashboard warning lights or related warning messages. Reduced high-voltage output power: This lowers the motor's output power, giving the driver time to react and stop the vehicle. Cut-off of high-voltage output: When the vehicle is in a stopped state, the high-voltage output is directly cut off, preventing the vehicle from starting.

That day, I was driving my BYD Qin Plus DM-i EV for an outing when the dashboard suddenly displayed the word 'Limited,' which gave me a scare. Simply put, it means the vehicle system automatically restricted power output, possibly due to an overheated battery pack, a software glitch, or an issue with the motor. In hybrid vehicles, when sensors detect minor problems, they activate a protective mode—preventing you from driving too fast or accelerating abruptly to avoid damaging components. It happened once in my car, where the speed directly dropped below 60 km/h, and it felt like pressing the accelerator had no effect. Emergency response? I quickly pulled over, turned off the engine, waited five minutes, and restarted—sometimes it would recover. But in the long run, it's best to drive to a 4S shop for a detailed inspection and not delay, to avoid battery degradation affecting daily commutes. Remember, this is a common issue, and regular maintenance can reduce the risks.

What do the letters on a car's gear shift represent?

D stands for Drive, P stands for Parking, N stands for Neutral, R stands for Reverse, S stands for Sport, and L stands for Low or 1st gear. Below is relevant information: 1. P: Parking, meaning this gear is used when the car is parked. Note that the car must be completely stopped before shifting into this gear, otherwise it may damage the vehicle. R: Reverse, meaning this gear is used when backing up the car. 2. Neutral means this gear is used when the car is just started or during brief stops like waiting at traffic lights. The letter L on a car's gear shift represents "Low", which is the low-speed forward gear. At lower speeds, you can freely switch between D and L gears. When the transmission is in L gear, it can only stay in 1st or 2nd gear, thereby limiting the vehicle's speed. L gear is generally used for descending long slopes to prevent the vehicle from accelerating due to the slope.

Is it mandatory to purchase the first year insurance for a new car at a 4S store?

It is not mandatory to purchase the first year insurance for a new car at a 4S store. Car insurance can be reasonably purchased according to the owner's needs, either at the 4S store or elsewhere. Generally, if the car is purchased with a loan, the insurance needs to be bought at the store, and a certain renewal deposit will be charged. Considerations for new car insurance: 1. When purchasing car insurance for a new car, it is advisable to buy the no-deductible coverage for vehicle damage, third-party liability, and passenger liability. In the event of a traffic accident, many insurance types only cover 80% of the compensation. Without the no-deductible coverage, the remaining 20% must be borne by the owner. With the no-deductible coverage, the amount the owner needs to compensate will be lower. 2. Decide whether to notify the insurance company based on the severity of the accident. For minor scratches or dents, it is recommended that the owner handle it themselves. Notifying the insurance company may save costs at the time, but if the number of claims increases, the insurance premium for the second year will be higher than this year's. Attempting to avoid premium increases by switching insurance companies is currently not very hopeful, as insurance companies are interconnected and can check the vehicle's claim history. 3. Even if the car has not been involved in any accidents for a year, do not feel at a loss. If there are no claims in the first year, the insurance for the second year should still be purchased to avoid unexpected incidents and unnecessary losses.
