ETC lanes allow reversing. Whether you accidentally enter an ETC lane or a regular toll lane, you can reverse without incurring fines or penalty points because highway toll stations are not considered part of the expressway, so no penalties apply. Typically, if you mistakenly enter an ETC lane, staff will inform you to be more careful next time and manually raise the barrier after collecting the toll. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check the ETC card and On-Board Unit (OBU) for any damage. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU—a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display 'Invalid, Insert Card,' indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the windshield to ensure it is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and press it firmly onto the installation spot for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with its front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Eco-friendly: Promotes green, low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-efficient: Saves money by reducing frequent starts and stops, lowering wear and fuel consumption, and offers a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

How Does a Clutch Work?

How a clutch works: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. Functions of the clutch: 1. Ensure smooth vehicle starting: It allows gradual engagement between the engine and transmission to ensure smooth vehicle starting. 2. Facilitate gear shifting: It temporarily disconnects the engine from the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during gear changes. 3. Prevent transmission system overload: It can disengage during emergency braking to prevent overload of the transmission and other drivetrain components, providing a certain protective effect.

Why doesn't the start-stop function work after replacing the Cruze battery?

For the auto start-stop function to work, many conditions must be met, such as interior temperature, coolant temperature, voltage, whether the air conditioning is on, etc., all controlled by the onboard computer. Below is an introduction to Mazda's auto start-stop system: 1. Limitations: The auto start-stop function has usage restrictions. If the car battery doesn't have sufficient charge, the battery temperature is too high or too low, or the seatbelt isn't fastened while driving, the auto start-stop function won't work properly. 2. Principle: By installing an enhanced motor with idle start-stop capability in a traditional engine, the engine completely shuts off when idle stop conditions are met. When moving forward again is required, the idle start-stop motor quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

What to Do When the Key is Locked Inside the Baojun 730?

Here are the methods to retrieve the key locked inside the Baojun 730: 1. Spare Key: Use the spare key to unlock the car directly. 2. Hook it Out from the Window: If the window is not completely closed, use a wire or stick to hook the key out. 3. Break the Car Window Glass: Break the car window glass to retrieve the key. 4. Contact a Locksmith: Reach out to a professional car locksmith who can open the door with specialized tools. 5. Other Considerations: While forgetting the car key inside the vehicle isn't extremely common, it does happen. Using a spare key or hooking it out with a wire or stick is the best option. If breaking the window is the only solution, be cautious about which window to break. The windshield is large and expensive, making it unsuitable for breaking. Door glass is relatively cheaper and more suitable, but avoid breaking the small rear side windows as they can be more expensive than they appear. Be careful when breaking any glass.
