Can ETC be used without inserting the card?

ETC cannot be used without inserting the card. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Rapid Passage Systems," the ETC card must be inserted into the OBU device for normal operation; otherwise, user information cannot be read. If the card is removed, you can use the manual lane and have the staff swipe the card. When the ETC card is inserted into the OBU device, there will be a prompt sound, indicating that the device is activated. Without the card, the device remains in a dormant state and cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations, so ETC cannot be used without the card. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is specifically designed for toll roads, commonly seen on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and certain urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Deduction Principles: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's windshield-mounted electronic tag and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with banks in the background. This allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by avoiding stops at toll stations; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key urban clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also set a target in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will promote ETC usage for trucks and explore deeper integration of the ETC system with smart transportation directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination. This will provide comprehensive travel services for car owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC.

Which Volkswagen models come with a clock?

Volkswagen models equipped with a clock include: Volkswagen Phideon: The Volkswagen Phideon is indeed a commendable model with solid product capabilities and a certain level of cost-effectiveness, a 'conscience' model. However, it overlooked the Chinese consumers' psychological need for 'luxury cars to boost face,' leading to a positioning misstep that resulted in an awkward situation where it was praised but not popular. Volkswagen Magotan: The Magotan is a mid-sized family car under FAW-Volkswagen, forming a duo of B-segment cars with the Passat. Targeting a different consumer group compared to competitors like the Accord, it gives off a vibe that is relatively more suited for middle-aged consumers. Its excellent interior quality and seat comfort make this car suitable for various usage scenarios. Volkswagen Variant GTE: The Variant GTE is currently one of the few available PHEV-powered station wagons. Coupled with its status as an imported model, it cannot benefit from domestic new energy subsidy policies, which naturally results in much lower attention compared to other domestic models.

What does it mean when the vehicle inspection validity period is until September?

The validity period until the end of September for the annual vehicle inspection refers to the last day of the month in which the motor vehicle was registered. Completing the annual inspection before this deadline is permissible and will not cause any issues. However, exceeding this time limit will result in the vehicle being considered overdue for inspection, which is a violation of the law. Overview: Vehicle annual inspection refers to the annual examination of vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." The purpose is to inspect the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage enhanced maintenance, ensure the vehicle remains in good condition, and guarantee safe driving. Additional Information: For passenger transport vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years. After 5 years, inspections are required every 6 months. For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 10 years. After 10 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Motor vehicle inspections are categorized into initial inspections and regular inspections.

What is an emergency lane?

The emergency lane on a highway refers to the part of the road adjacent to the right-hand traffic lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of more than 3 meters and an effective length greater than or equal to 30 meters, which can meet the needs of motor vehicle parking. More extended information is as follows: Overview: The emergency lane on a highway refers to the part of the road adjacent to the right-hand traffic lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of more than 3 meters and an effective length greater than or equal to 30 meters, which can meet the needs of motor vehicle parking. In an emergency, vehicles can drive or park on the emergency lane. Others: If you indeed encounter unsolvable problems such as a breakdown, you should park the vehicle in the emergency stopping area, turn on the hazard warning lights, place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle, and also turn on the side marker lights, tail lights, and rear fog lights during nighttime, rain, fog, and other weather conditions. Other personnel must move to a safe area and, if necessary, promptly call the highway emergency number for assistance.

What are the reasons for the oil pump failing to draw oil?

Oil pump failing to draw oil may be due to low oil level, excessively low oil temperature, insufficient suction force of the oil pump, or blockage in the suction pipe. Below are the reasons for the oil pump failing to draw oil: Low oil level: The oil level is too low, exposing the suction pipe. If the oil level is too low, the suction pipe of the oil pump is exposed above the oil surface, making it impossible to draw oil even with strong suction. It could also be because the position of the suction pipe is too high, leading to the oil pump's inability to draw oil. It is necessary to add oil immediately and avoid continuing to drive. Turn off the vehicle and park it on a flat surface. Wait for about ten minutes, then open the oil filler port and add oil of the same type as the original until the oil level reaches the middle position between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Stop adding oil at this point. Excessively low oil temperature: Excessively low oil temperature causes the oil's viscosity to decrease. Under normal temperature, oil is in a semi-solid state. Once the oil temperature drops, the oil tends to become more solid. This creates significant resistance during the oil pump's operation, which is why the oil pump cannot draw oil. Inspect related components promptly and resolve the issue as soon as possible to prevent minor problems from escalating into major faults. Insufficient suction force of the oil pump: The suction force of the oil pump is not strong enough. The oil pump relies on strong suction to draw oil from outside the suction pipe. If the suction force is insufficient, it becomes difficult to draw oil from a low position to a higher one. It is recommended to check the voltage of the fuel pump. For imported or joint-venture compact cars, the oil pump cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one. Blockage in the suction pipe: The suction pipe is blocked. A clear suction pipe is essential for the metering diaphragm pump to draw oil. If the suction pipe is obstructed by foreign objects, the oil pump cannot draw oil. Inspect the suction pipe and remove any foreign objects.

How long is the validity period of a small car's vehicle license?

The vehicle license is valid indefinitely, but it still requires annual inspection. The inspection validity period is noted on the supplementary page, which essentially indicates the deadline for the annual inspection. Therefore, the validity period of the vehicle license is also linked to the annual inspection. Vehicle license processing locations: Embassies/consulates and foreign-licensed vehicles should apply at the vehicle management office. Other vehicles should apply at the sub-office of the vehicle management office corresponding to the residential address stated in the vehicle owner's identity document. For vehicles with a registered address in suburban districts/counties (specifically Jing B licensed motorcycles, tricycles, low-speed trucks, and wheeled self-propelled machinery), applications should be made at the local district/county vehicle management station. Required documents for application: Application Form for Replacement of Vehicle License Plates/Certificates, identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent, the original license plate (if one plate is illegible or lost), and for replacement of the vehicle license, a standard photo of the vehicle is also required.
