Why can't the ETC card be used?

Here are the specific explanations for why the ETC card cannot be used: 1. Insufficient power: The current OBU, also known as the electronic tag, generally has a solar panel embedded in its casing to supplement the battery power. If the OBU is left in a place without light for a long time, coupled with the battery's self-discharge and the solar panel not receiving light, it cannot replenish the battery power, resulting in the OBU battery running out of power and failing to start. In this case, you can place it in a well-lit or strong light position to recharge the battery. 2. OBU detachment: After the OBU is installed and activated on the car's front windshield, if it accidentally falls off, the OBU will be locked. When you insert the ETC card again, it will prompt "Tag invalid." It is recommended to reactivate it.

What are the maintenance items required for a car?

Car maintenance mainly includes checking the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, cabin air filter, and other related system inspection items. Engine oil and oil filter: Check the lubrication system for maintenance to prevent excessive wear of components due to oil deterioration, insufficient oil, or impurities. The oil filter is usually replaced together with the engine oil. Fuel filter: Maintain the fuel supply system to prevent excessive impurities from clogging the fuel lines, which could lead to insufficient engine power or stalling. Air filter: Maintain the intake system to prevent dust and impurities from entering the cylinders, which could cause wear in the compression system. The air filter can be cleaned regularly. Cabin air filter: Check the cabin air filter to prevent excessive dust accumulation. If dust enters the evaporator, it may cause insufficient cooling or failure of the air conditioning system. Dust on the filter that is not cleaned for a long time can produce odors, polluting the air inside the car.

Can the Subject 4 Exam Be Taken in a Different Location?

Subject 4 can be taken in a different location. Here are the details: 1. Exam Explanation: Applicants who are in the process of obtaining a small vehicle driving license (C1, C2, C5) and have passed some of the exams can apply to change the exam location if they move to another city for work, study, or living. 2. Application Location: Applicants can directly apply for a change of exam location at the local vehicle management office of their current residence without returning to the original exam location. The exam location can be changed once. 4. Application Procedures: Mainland residents can use their resident ID card, while residents from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan can use their residence permits to apply for a change of exam location directly. Other individuals and situations require submitting identification documents as per the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses." 5. Exam Process: After completing the change of exam location, applicants can directly schedule the remaining exams at their current residence. Previously passed exams remain valid. After passing all exams, the driving license can be obtained directly at the current exam location.

What are the light signals for driving on the highway?

Light signals are crucial when driving on the highway. Here is an introduction to the light signals for driving on the highway: 1. Flash the headlights three times: If you notice any issues with the neighboring vehicle, you can flash your headlights three times consecutively to the vehicle in front. Wait for the driver in front to notice the lights, then flash three more times. Of course, if someone flashes their headlights at you three times, you should also pay attention, as there might be something wrong with your vehicle, and the car behind is giving you a friendly reminder. 2. Brake lights: When driving on the highway, maintaining an appropriate safe distance is an effective way to avoid accidents. However, sometimes people prefer tailgating at high speeds and keep a relatively close distance. In such cases, you can use the brake lights—illuminate them intermittently to signal the car behind, 'You are too close to me; you should keep a greater distance.'

Can the Magotan use 92 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Magotan should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the Magotan's fuel cap also indicates the recommended octane rating. Typically, the engine's compression ratio can also determine the appropriate gasoline grade. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can still be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Magotan occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power and thermal efficiency, manifesting as poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without obvious engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

Does the Jetta VS5 require 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Jetta VS5 should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the Jetta VS5 can also refer to the label on the fuel tank cap. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline due to other influencing factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Jetta VS5 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power and thermal efficiency, manifesting as poorer performance.
