Car can start but not move due to the following reasons: 1. The car's anti-theft system is triggered, causing the engine to lock; 2. Ignition switch failure; 3. Damaged ignition module or damaged ignition reference signal line from the ignition module to the engine computer; 4. Low fuel pump pressure, fuel line leakage, insufficient fuel supply current, or damaged fuel pressure regulator; 5. Carbon deposits in the engine. The solutions are: check if the car's anti-theft system is triggered, inspect the working condition of the ignition switch, check for faults in the ignition module and signal line, examine the fuel lines for leaks, clean engine carbon deposits, and verify if the battery has sufficient power.

Can small cars drive on highways at night?

Small passenger cars are allowed to drive, while large passenger buses are prohibited, specifically during the time period from 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM. Below is relevant information: 1. Reason: The hours between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM are when the human body is most prone to fatigue, making it a high-risk period for drowsy driving. Passenger buses carry a large number of passengers, and any accident during this time could result in severe consequences. 2. Speed limits: Vehicles with a maximum speed below 70 km/h are not permitted on highways. The maximum speed for small passenger cars must not exceed 120 km/h, motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h, and other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 km/h. 3. Precautions: When merging, do not obstruct vehicles traveling in the main lanes. Clearly distinguish lane functions, maintain smooth traffic flow, adhere to speed limits, maintain safe following distances, avoid reversing or making U-turns on main lanes, always keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at high speeds, and avoid making sharp turns when changing lanes or overtaking.

What Causes Difficulty in Shifting to Reverse Gear?

It may be caused by gear wear inside the transmission. Here is relevant information: 1. Introduction: The transmission is a core component of a car, and replacing the transmission in a new car will depreciate its value. 2. Maintenance method: When shifting gears in a manual transmission, be sure to press the clutch pedal all the way down to completely cut off the power, preventing gear collision and grinding during shifting, thereby achieving buffering and reducing gear damage. 3. Temperature-related maintenance: During vehicle operation, pay attention to the temperature of the transmission and any abnormal noises. If the housing temperature exceeds 70-80 degrees, it indicates that some parts inside the transmission are not working properly. You should stop the car immediately for inspection and promptly identify and resolve the issue. Car owners who are not familiar with vehicles can go to the nearest repair shop for a mechanic's inspection.

What are the effects of seawater on cars?

Washing a car with seawater can cause damage, as it can corrode the car's paint and metal components. Here are some car washing precautions: 1. Avoid using excessively high water pressure: At professional car washes, the water gun is carefully calibrated. Generally, the water pressure should be between 4-7Mpa. If the pressure is too low, it won't clean effectively, and if it's too high, the water flow carrying dirt particles may impact the paint layer, causing damage to the car's paint. 2. Avoid washing the car under direct sunlight: After rinsing the car body, water droplets can act as convex lenses, focusing sunlight on the car's surface. Over time, this can cause the paint to lose its luster. The same applies to waxing—try to do it on cloudy days or indoors.

How Long Can a Car Loan Be Overdue Before Repossession?

There is no impact if the car loan is overdue for less than 3 days. If it exceeds 7 days, you must communicate with the bank by phone to explain the situation and clarify that it is not intentional. This will not result in serious consequences. Below is relevant information: 1. Secured Car Loan: A secured car loan uses the vehicle as collateral. Since the vehicle is pledged to the lender and cannot be driven away by the borrower, it is referred to as a secured car loan. 2. Loan Requirements: The applicant must have a stable job and residence in the local area, provide proof of repayment ability (including bank statements, income proof, employment verification, etc.), and have a good credit history. 3. Important Notes: After repaying the loan in full, be sure to complete the process of releasing the mortgage registration. Otherwise, even if the loan is fully repaid, the vehicle will remain in a mortgaged state, not legally owned by the borrower, and may pose risks in transactions.

What does GF-5 mean on the engine oil bottle?

GF-5 engine oil indicates that it is an SN-grade oil, which is the highest grade, and has passed GF-5 certification. Here is some relevant information: 1. Engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Requirements: As a type of machinery, engines have specific requirements for lubricants, similar to other mechanical systems. These include having an appropriate viscosity, as well as certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature performance characteristics.

What does the front car button mean?

front car button is used to control the windshield defroster, which is the car defroster switch. The front windshield defroster is represented by a fan-shaped pattern with three upward floating lines, while the rear windshield defroster is represented by a rectangular pattern with three upward floating lines. The defroster switch controls the defroster, which can reduce moisture, fog, and frost on the front and rear glass surfaces to improve visibility. When there is fog inside the car, press the defroster switch and the indicator light will illuminate. After the defroster works for a while, the fog on the glass will disappear. After exceeding the preset time, the defroster will automatically turn off. When the windshield defroster button is pressed, the windshield and front side window defrosters will work simultaneously and operate at a high-speed state. It is important to note that to prevent battery depletion, avoid unnecessary continuous operation of the defroster and de-icing system for extended periods.
