BYD S6 having no response when powered on and ignited indicates that the battery life is insufficient or damaged, and it is necessary to seek assistance from another vehicle or battery for a jump start. Below is relevant information about the BYD S6: 1. Introduction: The BYD S6 is BYD's first SUV, positioned as a mid-to-high-end domestic SUV, and was launched in September 2010. Its dimensions are 4810/1855/1680mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm, making it outstanding among SUVs in the same class. A minimum ground clearance of 190mm ensures excellent off-road capability. 2. Powertrain: The S6 comes with three engine options: 1.5T, 2.0L, and 2.4L, divided into four models: Manual Luxury, Manual Premium, Automatic Premium, and Automatic Honor, equipped with either the BYD483QB or Mitsubishi 4G69 engine. The BYD483QB is a self-developed engine by BYD, featuring Bosch's electronic fuel injection management system and BIVT variable intake system.

BYD S6 has no response when turning on the ignition? I've been driving for over a decade and encountered similar issues several times. The most likely causes are a dead battery or loose connections—use a voltmeter to check the voltage; it should normally be above 12 volts. If the voltage is low, try jump-starting or charging it. Another common issue is a faulty starter motor—listen for a 'clicking' sound when turning the key; if there's no sound, the starter may be burnt out or there could be wiring problems. Also, check if the key fob battery is low or if the anti-theft system is triggered—inspect the key's indicator light, and if abnormal, try resetting or replacing the battery. Don’t forget to check the relevant fuses in the fuse box, especially those for the starting system—replace any blown fuses. Lastly, don’t overlook fuel issues—if the fuel pump isn’t working, open the fuel tank cap and listen for its operation sound. Overall, it's best to troubleshoot these points first; if unresolved, tow the car to a repair shop immediately to avoid further damage.

How to Determine if the Control Arm is Damaged?

If it affects the balance and causes the vehicle to pull to one side, it indicates that the control arm is damaged. Additionally, if there is increased wear space affecting directional control, the pulling issue also impacts safety, and a comprehensive inspection at a 4S shop is recommended. The control arm, also known as the swing arm, functions to balance and support. Below is an introduction to the control arm: 1. When driving on uneven roads, the tires move up and down, which is facilitated by the swinging motion of the control arm. The tires are mounted on the wheel hub, which is connected to the control arm via a ball joint. 2. The working principle of the control arm is essentially that of a universal joint, allowing connected movement even when the relative positions of the driving and driven sides change. For example, during steering, the shock absorber is compressed, causing the A-arm to swing upward. 3. The control arm is connected to the subframe through a front subframe connection point hinge sleeve. The forces and impacts received by the wheels are transmitted to the vehicle body through this hinge sleeve. The front subframe connection point hinge sleeve is a potential location for cracking, meaning that in the event of an 'axle break' accident, it is highly likely to occur at this hinge sleeve.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make a Clicking Sound When Turning?

There are several reasons why the steering wheel may make a clicking sound when turning: 1. Friction between plastic parts: The steering wheel is usually made of plastic. In winter, when temperatures are low, the plastic hardens, which may cause a squeaking sound during use. This is normal friction. 2. Noise from within the steering wheel: If the squeaking sound comes from inside the steering wheel when turning, it may be caused by the clock spring (airbag coil). Remove the steering wheel's airbag clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If the squeaking continues, the clock spring may be damaged and needs to be replaced. 3. Aging of the tie rod end ball joint: If the vehicle has been used for a long time, the tie rod end ball joint may age, causing the steering wheel to shake or make noise when turning. In this case, the tie rod end ball joint usually needs to be replaced, followed by a four-wheel alignment. 4. Noise from the stabilizer bar: After checking the vehicle's shock absorbers to rule out noise from them, inspect the stabilizer bar bushings for looseness or damage. If the bushings are loose, they may also cause noise when turning. This can often be fixed by adding shims, but if the bushings are damaged, they must be replaced to avoid affecting normal steering operation.

What is the scope of the new car three-guarantee policy?

The scope of the new car three-guarantee policy is as follows: 1. Return or exchange: If the same fault is repaired more than 5 times, the car can be exchanged. Within the validity period of the three-guarantee (the validity period is 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first), if the cumulative repair time exceeds 35 days, or the cumulative repairs caused by the same product quality problem exceed 5 times, the consumer can exchange the car. Within 60 days from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers of driving (whichever comes first), if the family car product experiences steering system failure, braking system failure, body cracking, or fuel leakage, the consumer can choose to exchange the family car product or return it, and the seller shall be responsible for free exchange or return. Within the validity period of the three-guarantee, if serious safety performance faults have been repaired twice cumulatively, and the serious safety performance faults have not been eliminated or new serious safety performance faults occur; if the engine or transmission has been replaced twice cumulatively, or the same main component of the engine or transmission has been replaced twice due to quality problems and still cannot function normally (the replacement counts for the engine, transmission, and their main components are not duplicated); if the same main component of the steering system, braking system, suspension system, front/rear axle, or body has been replaced twice due to quality problems and still cannot function normally, the consumer can choose to exchange or return the car, and the seller shall be responsible for exchange or return. If the family car product meets the exchange conditions, but the seller does not have a same-model family car product of a different brand or a family car product with a configuration not lower than the original car to exchange for the consumer, the consumer can choose to return the car, and the seller shall be responsible for the return. 2. If the repair exceeds 5 days, the owner has the right to use a spare car:

What is the function of a rear lip spoiler?

The rear lip spoiler can overcome resistance and save fuel. Here are the specific functions: Introduction to overcoming resistance: In order to effectively reduce and overcome the air resistance when the car is driving at high speed, a spoiler is designed at the rear of the car, whose function is to make the air generate a fourth force on the car. Introduction to fuel saving: In addition to improving driving stability, the car spoiler also helps to save fuel. With the construction and use of a large number of highways and elevated roads in many large and medium-sized cities in China, the speed of vehicles has been greatly increased, making the role of the car spoiler increasingly crucial.
