Analysis of the reasons for the flashing handbrake light while driving: 1. Poor contact of the handbrake switch when the handbrake is pulled up, causing the light to flash. 2. Poor contact of the handbrake light power wire, or a broken wire harness. 3. Poor contact of the handbrake indicator light on the dashboard, causing the light to flash. Below are the solutions for the flashing handbrake light: 1. Remove the handbrake cover, locate the handbrake switch, and first inspect the switch. 2. Use a multimeter to check the voltage of the red wire. 3. You can unplug the electrical connector of the handbrake switch. If the light continues to flash, it indicates an issue with the dashboard. If the problem disappears, it means the flashing was caused by poor contact of the switch.

Having worked in the auto repair shop for so many years, the most common reason for the Toyota Crown's handbrake light flashing is insufficient brake fluid. Once the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir drops below the minimum mark, the sensor triggers an alarm causing the light to flash. Other common causes include loose or dirty sensor wiring, which interferes with signal transmission. I once encountered a case where the owner delayed addressing the issue for too long, and it turned out the ABS module had a problem, requiring a full inspection. So, don’t ignore this flashing signal—first, check the brake fluid reservoir under the hood and add some DOT4 or compatible brake fluid. If you’re doing it yourself, be careful not to mix it with other fluids. During regular maintenance, have a mechanic test the system pressure to ensure reliable braking performance. Otherwise, it could affect driving safety—problems at high speeds could be dangerous.

When did the penalty points system for running red lights start?

According to the new traffic regulations, the penalty of deducting 6 points for running a red light has been implemented since January 1, 2013. The relevant provisions are as follows: 1. On October 8, 2012, the Ministry of Public Security announced the newly revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses." The new traffic rules have strengthened the management of drivers. The latest traffic regulations' penalty points system has also become more stringent, with the penalty for running a red light increasing from 3 points to 6 points, and failing to display or obscuring a license plate will result in an immediate deduction of 12 points. 2. The new traffic regulations came into effect on January 1, 2013 (New Year's Day), increasing the number of penalty items from 38 to 52. Running a red light now deducts 6 points, and driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 50% of the prescribed limit will result in a deduction of 12 points.

Why Can't the Car Door Be Locked?

Here are the reasons why the car door cannot be locked: 1. If you are using the remote key to lock the door, it is very likely that the remote lock is malfunctioning or factors such as the aging of the car's remote transmitter antenna are causing the remote key to not work. In this case, you can use the spare mechanical key to lock the door. 2. There is strong magnetic field signal interference around the car. Since the smart key uses low-intensity radio waves, it cannot function properly under magnetic interference. 3. If you frequently encounter situations where the remote lock does not work in a certain place, then the owner needs to be wary of door signal jammers, as some criminals use a radio signal jammer that can emit electromagnetic waves of the same frequency as the car lock signal, thereby blocking the electronic code of the car's central lock and temporarily disabling it.

What are the differences between Golf and Golf GTI?

The Golf uses a 1.6L in-line four-cylinder 16-valve electronically controlled fuel injection engine. 2. Transmission: The Golf GTI features a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission for faster gear shifting, while the Golf has a 6-speed automatic transmission. 3. Suspension system: The Golf GTI comes with a reinforced MacPherson independent front suspension/reinforced four-link independent rear suspension, offering more stable handling and a top speed of 240 km/h. The Golf has a MacPherson independent front suspension/compound torsion beam semi-independent rear suspension, with a top speed of 185 km/h.

Where is the fuse box located in the Roewe RX3?

The Roewe RX3 is equipped with two fuse boxes: the front passenger side fuse box (located behind the glove box on the front passenger side) and the engine compartment fuse box (located on the left front side of the engine compartment). Generally, the back of the fuse box is printed with the function and specifications of each fuse. Owners only need to refer to the corresponding fuse specifications or consult the user manual to check the fuses. Below are the steps to replace a fuse: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and all electrical devices, and disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Remove the sealing panel under the glove box to access the front passenger side fuse box; for the engine compartment fuse box, simply press the latch to open the fuse box cover. 3. Use a fuse puller to grip the head of the fuse, pull and remove the fuse, and check if the fuse is blown. 4. If the fuse is blown, replace it with another fuse of the same ampere rating.

What to Do If It Rains During the Driving Test?

Here are the precautions for taking the driving test on a rainy day: 1. Prepare tissues and handkerchiefs for the test. If it rains during the test, prepare tissues or handkerchiefs in advance. Before getting into the car, carefully wipe both side mirrors to prevent water droplets from obstructing your view. 2. Learn to use the windshield wipers correctly. On rainy days, turn on the windshield wipers promptly after getting into the car and adjust the wiper speed according to the intensity of the rain. The windshield wipers are located below the right side of the steering wheel in the training car. 3. Learn to open the car window during the test. On rainy days, do not close the windows completely; leave a small gap. Otherwise, the car interior may fog up, obstructing your view and affecting judgment accuracy. 4. Learn to control the speed flexibly. The second part of the test is conducted on a closed course, and the car is driven in first gear. Students should control the speed as practiced before, so speed control is not a major issue. 5. Learn to judge a safe following distance. For the third part of the test, it is essential to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Rain makes the road slippery, and tires are prone to skidding. When braking, avoid slamming on the brakes; instead, use light or intermittent braking to reduce speed gradually. This ensures both speed control and gives the following vehicle enough time to brake. 6. Keep the soles of your shoes dry. Try to keep the soles of your shoes dry. Shake off any water from the soles before getting into the car. After entering the car, rub the soles against the floor mat or the floorboard a few times before placing them on the clutch or brake pedal. Alternatively, use tissues to wipe the soles to keep them dry, preventing slips that could lead to accidents like stalling the car.
