ETC does not need to be turned on every time; it is generally required only during activation and top-up. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on." If it shows "Tag invalid" when inserted twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile app (usually with a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. ETC installation positions: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device are installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part.

Is the Audi Q2L's Engine from Volkswagen?

As is well known, components from brands such as Volkswagen, Skoda, and Audi are interchangeable. The 1.4T engine in the Audi is essentially the Volkswagen EA211-1.4T series product. The EA211 series was developed to replace the EA111 series, featuring three main characteristics compared to its predecessor: lightweight design, platform compatibility, and modularity. Regarding the engine block material: The original EA111 engine used a gray cast iron block, while the new EA211 engine employs an all-aluminum block, which is not only lighter but also offers better heat dissipation. Concerning the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism: The original EA111 engine's crankshaft utilized eight counterweights, whereas the current EA211 engine uses only four, thereby reducing the crankshaft's mass. However, removing counterweights can affect the crankshaft's balance, necessitating higher precision in crankshaft machining technology. Regarding the engine oil circuit: A notable feature of the older EA111 engine was the placement of the oil filter at the top of the engine. While this design facilitated easier replacement, it complicated the oil circuit design within the block. Therefore, in the new generation EA211 engine, the oil filter was relocated to the bottom of the engine, resulting in a more rational oil flow path.

What does the number of axles on a car mean?

The number of axles on a car refers to how many axles are installed under the car to mount the tires. Below is an introduction regarding the number of axles on a car: Introduction: The number of axles is mainly applied to cargo trucks, military vehicles, special vehicles, or a small number of large buses. For example, trucks may have a single rear axle, dual rear axles, triple rear axles, etc., while ordinary family cars generally use a single axle. The function of the axle is to bear the load of the car and maintain its normal operation on the road. Explanation of Axle Count: The axle of a car is the rod that connects the left wheel to the right wheel. Simply put, the number of pairs of wheels a car has corresponds to the number of axles. Most family cars with four wheels basically have two axles, meaning ordinary sedans have two pairs of wheels, so the axle count is 2. Function: For cargo vehicles, the more axles there are, the greater the load capacity. This is because, for cargo vehicles, all the weight is essentially borne by the tires, so the more tires there are, the greater the cargo-carrying capacity.

Why Can't the Mercedes-Benz Car Shift Gears After Starting?

Reasons why the car cannot shift gears after starting: There is a fault inside the gear lever assembly, the gears inside the gear lever are worn out, causing the gear lever to jam, making it very difficult to pull back and forth; the P-gear locking solenoid valve in the gearshift lever has malfunctioned, or the brake switch is faulty; the clutch does not fully disengage, which may be caused by the failure of the clutch disc and the clutch pressure plate, usually requiring the replacement of the clutch three-piece set; the battery is leaking, and insufficient power prevents starting. Identifying the cause of the fault: If a Mercedes-Benz car cannot start, the first step is to identify the cause of the fault. For diagnosing faults such as the engine failing to start, the battery should be checked first. It is essential to determine whether the engine's failure to start is due to insufficient battery power. Then, check the starting system. First, inspect the circuit in the engine starting system. From the most basic composition, the circuit of the starting system generally includes the following fundamental parts: the battery, the starter motor, and the cables connecting these components. Important parts of the starting system: Of course, in addition to these, the ignition switch, the starter relay or solenoid coil, and the vehicle anti-theft system are also important components of the starting system.

What is the car ownership in China?

The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security released on July 16, 2018, that as of the end of June, the national motor vehicle ownership reached 319 million. Below is relevant information about car ownership: Introduction: Car ownership (carparc) refers to the number of vehicles owned in a region, typically those registered locally. However, car ownership differs from motor vehicle ownership, which includes motorcycles, agricultural vehicles, etc. Domestic Data: In the first half of 2018, newly registered motor vehicles reached 16.36 million, higher than the 15.94 million registrations in the same period in 2017. The ownership of new energy vehicles reached 1.99 million, while private car ownership reached 180 million. Since 2018, the monthly average increase in ownership has been 1.66 million, maintaining rapid and continuous growth. Urban Car Ownership: Currently, 58 cities in China have car ownership exceeding one million, with 7 cities surpassing three million. The ownership of trucks reached 24.70 million, with 1.72 million newly registered trucks in the first half of 2018, significantly higher than the 1.56 million registrations in the same period in 2017, marking a historical peak.

What Gear is Generally Used to Start a Car?

Cars generally start in 1st gear. To start the car, press the clutch and shift into 1st gear, then gently release the clutch while slowly pressing the accelerator to begin moving. 1st gear is primarily used for starting, as it provides low speed and stability. Once the speed stabilizes, accelerate to around 20 km/h and shift into 2nd gear. After driving 5 to 6 meters and reaching about 30 km/h, shift into 3rd gear. 2nd gear serves as a transition between 1st and 3rd gears, while 3rd gear is commonly used for normal driving. However, the car cannot shift directly from 1st to 3rd gear, making 2nd gear an essential transitional gear. Below are specific details on precautions when starting: Proper Use of the Clutch: When starting, learn to use the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal appropriately. For a smooth and safe start, maintain the correct driving posture, avoid looking down at the controls, and keep your eyes on the road ahead and both sides. Smooth Start and Engine Warm-Up: Aim for a start without jerking, stalling, or surging. Before starting, carefully inspect the surroundings of the vehicle, checking for any obstacles under or around the car. For a cold start, warm up the engine first—the duration depends on the temperature, but generally, wait until the idle speed returns to normal before starting.

What does the Mercedes-Benz SYNC button mean?

SYNC button refers to the dual-zone synchronized temperature control button. After deactivation, different temperatures can be set for the left and right dual-zone air conditioning. The SYNC button on Mercedes-Benz vehicles is a control key on the air conditioning panel. Its function is to switch the temperature control between the driver and passenger sides. When this button is illuminated, it enables synchronized adjustment of the air conditioning temperature on both sides. When the button light is off, the temperatures on both sides can be controlled separately. Mercedes-Benz SYNC button: When the Mercedes-Benz SYNC button is turned on, adjusting the temperature or airflow on one side will synchronize the settings on the other side. Currently, SYNC technology is widely used in multimedia synchronization between music, videos, and text content. For example: displaying lyrics (karaoke effect) simultaneously during MP3 playback or movie subtitles, etc. The use of SYNC technology makes MP3 lyric display more accurate. Early SYNC systems: Early SYNC systems primarily focused on integrating users' mobile phones, players, and other devices into the vehicle's information terminal via Bluetooth, USB, etc. Later, SYNC added features such as vehicle health status detection and automatic emergency call connection. The latest SYNC integrates traffic monitoring, navigation, and messaging functions, connecting drivers with all the information needed during their journey.
