If the car key cannot be pulled out but can still be turned, you can try turning the steering wheel back and forth at a certain angle. If it still cannot be pulled out, the possible causes of this issue include the following: 1. P-lock interference: In automatic transmission vehicles, it may be due to P-lock interference. 2. Vehicle malfunction: If there is a vehicle malfunction and the P gear cannot be engaged, you can use the emergency switch on the gear lever to engage the gear. 3. Internal failure of the ignition switch: Mechanical or circuit failure inside the ignition switch prevents it from resetting. 4. The key itself: The key may be deformed or there may be foreign objects inside the ignition switch.

What are the rules for the new energy vehicle lottery?

New energy vehicle lottery rules: The quota management for new energy passenger cars implements "separate allocation" with a dedicated lottery pool. The eligibility criteria for obtaining a new energy vehicle quota are basically the same as those for the traditional lottery, but buyers must commit or confirm that they have the conditions to install charging facilities. The benefits of new energy vehicles are as follows: 1. Save fuel energy: Generally use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources. 2. Protect the environment: Reduce exhaust emissions and effectively protect the environment. Electric vehicles do not produce exhaust and have no pollution. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit water as exhaust, which does not pollute the environment. Because they are essentially zero-emission, they are also exempt from traffic restrictions. 3. High efficiency: New energy vehicles generally adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient.

Can National V Cars Still Be Licensed?

National V cars cannot be licensed. The "National VI Standard" is divided into two phases: "National VI a" and "National VI b," with nationwide implementation planned for July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. According to the "Announcement on Adjusting the Implementation Requirements for the National VI Emission Standards for Light-Duty Vehicles," the transition period for National V vehicle clearance in eligible cities also expired on December 31, 2020. Relevant information about automotive emission standards is as follows: 1. Introduction: Automotive emission standards regulate the levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). 2. Implementation Status: Starting from January 1, 2004, Beijing upgraded its vehicle emission standards from Euro I to Euro II, and by 2008, it officially implemented the Euro III standard.

What are the effects of running out of windshield washer fluid?

The effects of running out of windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Increased resistance: This will cause greater resistance on the wiper blades, potentially damaging the wiper motor over time. 2. Glass damage: Prolonged dry wiping can damage the windshield, potentially causing scratches that reduce visibility. 3. Impaired vision: Scratching the glass may obstruct the driver's view, increasing accident risks. There are two types of windshield washer fluids: 1. Liquid washer fluid: First pour in the washer concentrate, then add plenty of water to ensure thorough mixing. Washer fluid is typically blue, and the mixture should appear light blue. Too high a concentration may create excessive foam during spraying, obstructing visibility. 2. Solid washer tablets: The mixing order doesn't matter, with approximately 1 tablet requiring 2-3 liters of water.

What Causes a Car Not to Start When the Battery Has Power?

Car not starting but the battery has power could be due to a damaged fuel pump or excessive carbon buildup on the spark plugs. Below are related explanations about why a car may not start: Damaged Fuel Pump: As the most fundamental component in the engine's fuel supply system, a damaged fuel pump can prevent the car from starting or make it difficult to start when attempting to turn on the vehicle. Excessive Carbon Buildup on Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are also one of the key components for car starting. Generally, spark plugs need to be replaced after about 60,000 kilometers. Carbon buildup on spark plugs, engine oil burning, or incomplete combustion can lead to black oil deposits on the spark plugs, preventing them from igniting properly. In severe cases, this can directly cause the car not to start, necessitating spark plug replacement.

What Causes an Engine to Idle at an Abnormally High Speed?

An engine idling at an abnormally high speed can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Fuel Injection System: Insufficient fuel system pressure or clogged fuel injectors leading to poor atomization can cause idling issues. Check if the fuel filter is clogged or dirty, and replace it if any abnormalities are found. Inspect whether the fuel pressure regulator is functioning properly, then check the fuel pressure. The normal fuel pressure should be between 250kpa and 300kpa. 2. Idle Control System: A dirty or stuck idle control valve or a broken control circuit can prevent the engine from increasing idle speed as commanded by the computer. If the air intake cannot meet the load requirements, it may result in idling issues or stalling.

Can You Sleep in a Car with the Engine Off?

You can sleep in a car with the engine off. Here are some precautions to consider when sleeping in a car: 1. Ensure proper ventilation and warmth: Slightly open a window or door. However, it is not recommended to sleep in a new car due to the presence of harmful substances like formaldehyde in the leather and fabrics, which can be carcinogenic. 2. If sleeping with the engine idling and the air conditioning on, never use the recirculation mode: Incomplete fuel combustion produces carbon monoxide, which can accumulate inside the car and lead to fatal poisoning. It is advisable to partially open a window to allow air circulation. 3. Take a break of at least 20 minutes after driving for 4 hours: However, do not stop and sleep on the emergency lane of a highway, as this can lead to rear-end collisions.
