Using the car air conditioner in winter does consume more fuel. Here is an introduction on how to use the air conditioner in winter: 1. Start the engine first: Wait until the water temperature gauge reaches the middle position. 2. Then turn on the heater: Set the air circulation to the external circulation mode to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. 3. Set the air circulation to internal circulation: The temperature inside the car can quickly rise. The most suitable heater temperature is 23 degrees Celsius. 4. Adjust the air vent direction: Avoid directing the airflow towards the face, as it can easily cause fatigue and affect driving safety. Adjust the direction to blow towards the legs and feet, as warming the legs and feet will make the whole body feel warm.

What Kind of Driver's License is Required for Small Electric Vehicles?

Driving an electric vehicle requires a Class C driver's license. Here are the relevant details about driving electric vehicles: 1. Introduction to Electric Vehicles: Currently, there are two types of electric vehicles: One is a relatively simple so-called elderly scooter (also called an electric vehicle) that has not undergone national certification, approval, or recognition. This type of vehicle poses a high risk in terms of both safety performance and driving operations, and the traffic management authorities do not issue driver's licenses or license plates for such vehicles. The other type is a new energy vehicle—an electric vehicle—that has been approved and certified by the state. For this type, a driver's license must be obtained according to the vehicle's driving requirements and traffic regulations. 2. Relevant Regulations: Article 119, Paragraph 3 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that motor vehicles refer to wheeled vehicles powered or towed by power devices, used for carrying passengers or transporting goods on roads, as well as for special engineering operations. Therefore, electric vehicles fall under the management scope of motor vehicles. Drivers of electric vehicles must first obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. To drive an electric vehicle on the road, it must have complete and valid compulsory insurance procedures, be registered with the public security traffic management department, and have license plates and certificates.

What does the invalidation of the transit green card mean?

The invalidation of the transit green card refers to the failure of the ETC electronic display tag, which may be caused by the user's unauthorized removal or relocation of the OBU device or the loosening and detachment of the ETC electronic tag. The ETC is specialized and has a protective interlock during installation. There is a push-button switch on the side that adheres closely to the car's front windshield. If this switch is triggered twice consecutively, it will cause the ETC electronic tag to become invalid, meaning the transit green card is invalid. When receiving a new ETC device, after pressing the ETC anti-tamper switch on the back, the red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED display will show "ETC tag invalid," indicating that the ETC electronic tag is not activated. This situation is normal.
