You don't need ETC if you don't drive on highways. Here is relevant information: 1. ETC: ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection system, which allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping. It uses onboard equipment to identify vehicles, record information, and automatically deduct corresponding funds from pre-bound IC cards or bank cards. ETC is a road toll method specifically designed for toll roads, commonly seen on highways, bridges or tunnels implementing toll policies, and some urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. 2. How to unbind a vehicle from an ETC card: Bring the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle license, ETC card, and OBU device to an ETC service center to process the removal. Then, use the removal document issued by the ETC service center to terminate the contract at the designated bank.

What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Honda Vezel mean?

The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator light, lighting fault indicator light, steering system fault indicator light, braking system fault light, transmission fault indicator light, and wiper fault indicator light. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Main issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced promptly. Braking system fault: A circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses. This represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a fault in the braking system or low brake fluid level. The braking system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating a fault in the car lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or check by yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the warning lights displayed on the vehicle dashboard are divided into two different colors, yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the corresponding repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards in time. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In this case, do not continue driving. Stop the car by the roadside and call for professional help to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety caused by forced driving. It should be noted that when the car is started, all lights will turn on, and the system will perform an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will automatically turn off. If a light does not turn on when the ignition switch is turned on, remains on without turning off, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for car inspection to eliminate potential safety hazards.

What Causes the ABS Light to Illuminate After Car Washing?

There are various states of the ABS light being on, with different causes and solutions for each state. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light remains constantly illuminated (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, 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 calculating the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt off the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal quality due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Inspect the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. The ABS warning light turns off as the engine speed increases and voltage rises. This may also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body, loose wiring connections in the ABS hydraulic valve body, or ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, clean the contact surface if necessary, check for enlarged terminal gaps, and replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer if needed. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: The ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals during high-speed driving. This may also occur due to incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch or poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete self-positioning. Replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is recommended not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a fault in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.

Can the Sagitar use 92 gasoline?

Sagitar cannot use 92 gasoline; it requires 95 gasoline because it is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Using 92 gasoline may lead to the following issues: 1. Using 92 gasoline can cause knocking in the engine. Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. When the piston is in the compression stroke, it moves upward to compress the air-fuel mixture, increasing its temperature and pressure. Severe knocking can even lead to connecting rod deformation or piston cracking. 2. The burning air-fuel mixture pushes the piston downward while the piston is moving upward, which can affect the engine's power output and fuel consumption.
