Why Won't the Changan Eado Start?

[VonFrank]

Here are the reasons and solutions for a Changan Eado car failing to start: 1. Insufficient car battery power or low fuel level: Insufficient car battery power or low fuel level is the easiest item to check and the most likely cause of the car not starting. The fuel level is easy to determine. Turn the ignition key to the 'on' position (for push-button start models, press the start button twice without pressing the brake), then turn on the headlights. If the lights noticeably dim or don't turn on at all, and the horn sounds significantly weaker than usual or doesn't sound, it can be determined that the battery power is insufficient. In either of these situations, depending on your circumstances, you can seek help from nearby car owners for emergency measures such as jump-starting, borrowing fuel, or towing. 2. Steering wheel lock preventing startup: The steering wheel lock preventing startup is a common anti-theft feature in many small cars. After removing the key, if the steering wheel is not straightened or is turned, the self-locking function of the steering wheel will activate, causing the steering lock pin to engage with the steering column, making the steering wheel immovable and the car unable to start. The solution is simple: jiggle the steering wheel while turning the key. Otherwise, even if you break the key, it won't turn. 3. Incorrect gear position: Check the car's gear position. Generally, the correct gear positions for starting an automatic transmission car are 'P' or 'N'. If the owner carelessly leaves the gear in 'R' or another position, the result will not only be the car failing to start but also posing a safety hazard.
