The differences between buying a car from a car trade store and a 4S store are as follows: 1. Different store locations: Car trade stores are mostly located in bustling urban areas, while 4S stores generally require larger spaces and are mostly located far from the city center. 4S stores have grand facades and offer both pre-sales and after-sales services; in contrast, car trade stores have much lower requirements, with just two storefronts on the street being enough to sell cars. Additionally, 4S stores sell only one brand, whereas car trade stores can sell any brand. 2. Different sales prices: Generally, 4S stores have higher labor costs and other expenses like rent compared to car trade stores, and they have their own pricing regulations for each car. However, car trade stores can source cars not only from local 4S stores but also from other regions, leading to significant price differences.

What Causes the OBD Warning Light to Illuminate?

OBD warning light illuminates due to: 1. Oxygen sensor malfunction; 2. Three-way catalytic converter issues such as leaks, blockages, damage, or reduced catalyst performance. A yellow OBD warning light on the dashboard indicates non-compliant emissions or incomplete combustion. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, a system that continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions and the exhaust after-treatment system's performance. It immediately alerts if any condition that may cause excessive emissions is detected. When a system fault occurs, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light turns on, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores the fault information in memory. The fault code can be retrieved from the PCM using specific procedures. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately identify the nature and location of the fault.

What types of vehicles can a C2 license drive?

According to the 'Permitted Vehicle Types and Codes,' a C2 driver's license allows the holder to drive small and mini automatic passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini automatic cargo vehicles. It also permits driving light and mini automatic special-purpose vehicles and small automatic passenger vehicles specially designed for upper-limb disabled individuals. Small automatic vehicles refer to those with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating capacity not exceeding 9 people, and a vehicle length not exceeding 6 meters. As stipulated by the 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' Article 19: Driving a motor vehicle requires obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license in accordance with the law. Applicants must meet the driving permit conditions set by the public security department of the State Council. Upon passing the examination, the traffic management department of the public security authority will issue the corresponding category of motor vehicle driver's license. Drivers must operate vehicles within the permitted categories specified on their license and must carry their driver's license while driving. Therefore, it is clear that both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted category are illegal. The first provision of the reply from the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council regarding the application and understanding of certain legal provisions in the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' and its implementation regulations states: Driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted category on the driver's license is, in nature, equivalent to driving without a license. In terms of penalties, based on the principle of proportionality, it can be treated similarly to driving without a license but with a relatively lighter penalty. Therefore, both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted category are subject to Article 99, Paragraph 1 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law': Driving a motor vehicle without a motor vehicle driver's license, or while the license is revoked or suspended, will result in a fine imposed by the public security traffic management department and may also include detention for up to 15 days. The process for obtaining a C2 driver's license is the same as for a C1. The C2 license examination includes: Theory Test (Subject 1), covering road signs and traffic laws; Field Driving Skills (Subject 2), such as reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and S-curves; Road Driving Skills (Subject 3), including lighting and roadside parking; and Civilized Driving Theory (Subject 4), assessing the driver's civilized driving conduct. According to the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Regulations' issued by the public security department, motor vehicle driver's licenses are classified into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. The permitted vehicle types for each license level are as follows: A1 license: Permits driving large passenger vehicles; A2 license: Permits driving tractors and heavy or medium-sized full or semi-trailer combinations; A3 license: Permits driving city buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers; B1 license: Permits driving heavy passenger vehicles; B2 license: Permits driving heavy or medium-sized cargo vehicles; C1 license: Permits driving small and mini passenger vehicles; C2 license: Permits driving small and mini automatic passenger vehicles; C3 license: Permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles (originally four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles); C4 license: Permits driving three-wheeled vehicles (originally three-wheeled agricultural transport vehicles); D license: Permits driving three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml; E license: Permits driving two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml; F license: Permits driving motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50ml or less; M license: Permits driving wheeled self-propelled machinery; N license: Permits driving trolleybuses; P license: Permits driving trams.
