To protect the rights and interests of merchants, Taobao Auction sets a reserve price before the auction. If the final price does not reach the reserve price after the auction ends, the transaction will be voided. Items auctioned on Taobao cannot be inspected in person, making it difficult to verify their authenticity. After winning a bid, there is a risk of receiving counterfeit or substandard goods.

Why is there abnormal noise when driving?

Driving with abnormal noise can be caused by the following reasons: 1. The engine temperature is too low. When the car is cold-started, the engine temperature is too low for it to work properly, which is a normal phenomenon. Just wait a while until the engine temperature rises to a normal level. 2. The car's three-way catalytic converter expands due to heat. If there is abnormal noise when the car is just started, but it disappears after a while, it is caused by the expansion of the three-way catalytic converter due to heat, which is also a normal phenomenon and does not need attention. 3. Transmission failure. The internal gears of the transmission rub against each other, causing abnormal noise. This situation is more complicated and requires professionals at a repair shop or 4S store to inspect it. 4. Wear of the engine belt or chain. Wear of the engine belt or chain causes friction when the vehicle is started or idling, resulting in abnormal noise. For safety reasons, it is recommended to directly replace the engine belt or chain.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn at a double solid yellow line?

U-turns are not allowed at double solid yellow lines. Double solid yellow lines indicate that overtaking and U-turns are prohibited for vehicles. Making a U-turn at a double yellow line will result in a 3-point penalty and a fine. Other situations where U-turns are prohibited include: U-turns are prohibited where there is a 'No U-turn' sign or 'No Left Turn' sign: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited in the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, vehicles can only make U-turns in the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Making a U-turn by crossing the central divider on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and a 12-point penalty. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit to leave the highway, and never attempt an illegal U-turn.

How to Replace the Battery in an Older Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Key?

The back of the older Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG key has a button. Press this button and slide the back cover forward to open the key. The battery is located in the adjacent slot. Be sure to note the battery model for the key. Most Mercedes key batteries are model 3V CR2025. After opening the slot, remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Here is more information about Mercedes keys: 1. Mercedes has used three generations of car keys over the past twenty years. The key design is not related to the vehicle model or series. For example, keys for C-Class, E-Class, and S-Class are essentially the same within the same era, and the battery replacement method is also similar. 2.

What does a steering wheel with an exclamation mark mean in a car?

An exclamation mark appearing on the steering wheel indicates the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) warning light, which should disappear immediately after the engine starts. The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system is a power steering system that directly relies on an electric motor to provide assistive torque. Compared to the traditional Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) system, the EPS system offers many advantages. The EPS mainly consists of components such as a torque sensor, vehicle speed sensor, electric motor, reduction mechanism, and Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The Electric Power Steering system evolved from the traditional mechanical steering system. It utilizes power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in steering operations. The system primarily consists of three major parts: signal sensing devices (including torque sensor, steering angle sensor, and vehicle speed sensor), steering assist mechanism (electric motor, clutch, reduction transmission mechanism), and electronic control device. The motor operates only when assistance is needed. When the driver manipulates the steering wheel, the torque and steering angle sensor generates corresponding voltage signals based on the input torque and steering angle. The vehicle speed sensor detects the speed signal, and the control unit issues commands to control the motor's operation based on the voltage and speed signals, thereby generating the required steering assistance.
