Audi Q5 has a total of 3 fuse box locations, namely the left front door side and the right front door side. You need to open the door and use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the dashboard side panel to see it. The Audi Q5 perfectly combines the body design of a sports car, efficient power and sensitive handling, the off-road safety performance of an SUV, and the excellent comfort and flexible interior space of a station wagon, inheriting many of the advantages of the third-generation top SUV Audi Q7. In terms of body size, the Audi Q5 has a length, width, and height of 4629mm, 1898mm, and 1655mm respectively.

I've been an Audi Q5 owner for ten years now. I remember being a bit confused the first time I looked for the fuse box. Later, I discovered it's located in two places: there's a small black box next to the battery in the front left corner after opening the engine compartment, and another one in the cabin under the steering wheel—just lift the knee pad to see it. Sometimes, there might be one hidden behind the glove compartment as well. Whenever I encounter issues like lights not working or the audio system failing, checking the fuses is my first step. Simply put, fuses are like little circuit bodyguards; they cut off when the current is too high to protect the components. Avoid pulling them out directly with tools—it's safer to use a specialized fuse puller, and always operate with the engine off to prevent electric shock. If you're a newbie and can't find them, I recommend checking the owner's manual or searching for illustrated videos online. Experienced drivers know that while these are thoughtfully designed, their locations can be a bit hidden. Explore a few times, and you'll get familiar with them.

How Many Traffic Violations Will Lead to Vehicle Impoundment?

Vehicle impoundment is not determined by the number of violations, but by the nature of the violations. Generally, if the accumulated demerit points for violations exceed 12 and remain unaddressed, the violating vehicle will be temporarily impounded. In severe cases, the vehicle may be impounded immediately upon being caught by traffic police. Below is relevant information about vehicle violations: 1. Basis for Penalties. The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: Public security traffic management departments and their traffic police officers shall promptly correct road traffic safety violations. Penalties for road traffic safety violations shall be imposed based on facts and relevant provisions of this law. Penalties for road traffic safety violations include: warnings, fines, temporary suspension or revocation of motor vehicle driving licenses, and detention. 2. Basis for Demerit Points. The "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulate: In addition to administrative penalties, public security traffic management departments shall implement a cumulative demerit point system (hereinafter referred to as demerit points) for road traffic safety violations committed by motor vehicle drivers, with a demerit point cycle of 12 months. (1) If a driver accumulates 12 demerit points within one cycle, the public security traffic management department shall detain their motor vehicle driving license, and the driver shall participate in road traffic safety law and regulation studies and take an exam as required. If the exam is passed, the demerit points will be cleared, and the driving license will be returned; if the exam is failed, the driver must continue studying and retaking the exam. (2) If a driver accumulates fewer than 12 demerit points within one cycle and has paid all fines, the demerit points will be cleared; if fines remain unpaid, the demerit points will carry over to the next cycle.

What is the engine model of the 2021 BJ40 diesel version?

The engine model of the BJ40 diesel version is YC4Y20. The BAIC BJ40 diesel version is equipped with a Yuchai 2.0T direct-injection turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 224, a maximum power of 120KW, a maximum power speed of 5200rpm, and a peak torque of 380N.m. The Beijing BJ40 engine is produced by Saab. Beijing Automobile Works was established in 1958 and is the second large-scale automobile manufacturing enterprise in China after the Changchun First Automobile Works. For the BJ40 engine, the following maintenance methods can be used daily: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected according to the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, and the selection standard should not be lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The oil quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which will cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to the usage conditions, and the oil quantity should be moderate. When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, the solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element will burst or the safety valve will open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates from the oil, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How Many Times Can You Take the Subject 1 Test?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates that on the day of the Subject 1 test, you can take the test twice. If you fail the first time, you can take a free make-up test for the second time. If you still fail the second time, the Subject 1 test for this session is terminated, and you can only schedule the test again after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the driver's license Subject 1 test is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 test content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the Subject 1 test, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and place personal belongings in the locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aimed at you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a make-up test on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. If you do not sign, the test is considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject test can be taken once, and if you fail, you can take a make-up test once. If you do not attend the make-up test or fail it, the test for this session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only allow five test attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driver's license test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.
