Audi A6's inability to detect the key is usually due to insufficient battery power in the key or signal interference. Replacing the battery: The first thing to consider is whether the key has run out of power. The remote key typically uses a standard button battery with a rated operating voltage of around 3.3V, and under normal circumstances, its lifespan can generally reach 2 years. At this point, you can press any button on the key to see if the indicator light turns on. If it doesn't, the battery is dead and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is poor contact of the key battery. You can remove the key shell, rotate the button battery, or take it out and reinstall it after a while. Trying the spare key: Take out the spare key and test if it works. If it does, it indicates that the previous key is faulty and needs to be replaced. If even the spare key doesn't work, then other causes should be considered. For example, check if there is any electromagnetic interference or signal interference sources nearby. Some dash cams, if not properly shielded, can also cause interference, preventing the key from being detected.

What to Do If You Run Red Lights Twice and Get 12 Points Deducted? Can You Still Drive?

Running red lights twice resulting in 12 points deducted means the cumulative demerit points have reached the maximum limit. The traffic management department of the public security organ will confiscate the driver's license, and the driver will no longer be allowed to drive. The driver must participate in road traffic safety laws and regulations training and take an exam. If the exam is passed, the demerit points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the exam is failed, the driver must continue with the training and retake the exam. Methods to avoid running red lights while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the round lights. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as stopping might be difficult and could result in crossing the stop line. If you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line and approach an intersection.

Is Volvo wholly owned by Geely?

Volvo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely. In terms of ownership, Volvo is directly under Geely Holding, but in terms of operation, Volvo has a completely independent management team separate from Geely Holding. To maintain the independence and equality of these two companies, their collaboration must be facilitated through a "Dialogue and Cooperation Committee"; the agreement for Geely Holding's acquisition of Volvo even explicitly stipulates that Geely cannot directly use the technologies developed by Volvo. Compared to the Volkswagen Group and Skoda, which share a highly similar "technical lineage" as parent and subsidiary, Geely Holding and Volvo appear more like brothers. In the early stages of Volvo's development, Geely Holding, as the elder brother, would step in to assist, but it would never directly interfere in Volvo's internal affairs; once Volvo matures, it will in turn contribute back to Geely Holding. This cooperative model between Geely Holding and Volvo has both advantages and disadvantages.

What are the reasons for ABS false intervention during low-speed braking?

The reasons for ABS false intervention during low-speed braking are as follows: Reason 1: The sensing part of the ABS speed sensor is covered by mud, sludge, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal gear ring to restore normal function. Reason 2: Poor signal quality due to loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay can cause system failure. The most common issue is a loose speed sensor wire connection, which will also show as a poor speed sensor signal in the ABS computer's fault memory. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts.
