New car windshield washer fluid typically lasts about one month. The duration mainly depends on the frequency of use, and there is no fixed refill cycle—simply top it up when it runs out. Avoid using tap water, as the minerals in tap water can clog the windshield washer fluid lines. If the air temperature drops below freezing, use a windshield washer fluid that contains sufficient antifreeze components. Be careful not to operate the windshield washer continuously for several seconds, and do not run the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty, as this can cause the washer motor to overheat. Windshield washer fluid also provides protective properties for the windshield and wiper blades.

Do I need to turn on Bluetooth when using ETC on the road?

When using ETC on highways, there is no need to turn on the car's Bluetooth or mobile phone Bluetooth. The ETC junction box installed in our vehicles has a short-range communication response system inside, which automatically communicates with road sensors without requiring Bluetooth to be enabled on our cars or phones. Currently, ETC is provided by 8 domestic manufacturers. Some ETC terminals can only be installed via mobile Bluetooth during setup, but Bluetooth does not need to be turned on during actual use. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, you need a bank card for deducting highway toll fees, and the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, with the vehicle registered under their name. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle license; The vehicle that needs ETC installation. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Using computer networking technology, it settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass toll stations without stopping; Reduces wear and tear: Lowers costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improves efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What engine does the Honda XRV use?

Honda XRV is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine. Honda XRV is a compact SUV launched by Honda Motor. In terms of power, it offers two powertrain options, featuring a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine respectively. The transmission system is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT continuously variable transmission. Below is more detailed information about the Honda XRV's engines: 1. In terms of power, it offers two powertrain options, featuring a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine respectively. The 1.5L engine delivers a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 155 N·m, while the 1.5T engine produces a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 220 N·m. 2.

This system can adjust the intake valve opening timing during engine operation to achieve continuous valve timing regulation. 4. The Earth Dreams engines also incorporate direct fuel injection technology, which precisely controls the fuel injection volume, enabling more accurate fuel combustion within the engine. This improves fuel economy and reduces vehicle operating costs.

Where should the ETC be installed?

The ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield for passenger cars, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof films, which may affect microwave signal transmission, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for an ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If someone else is handling the application on behalf of the owner, they must also bring their own valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company-owned vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); a photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); the original ID card of the agent; the original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle for which the ETC is to be installed. Here are some precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install the ETC behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a steep incline, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas of the windshield and positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove the ETC once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once the ETC is installed, the windshield presses the lever in. If the ETC is removed, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, the user must visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing a single device.

What is the standard tire pressure for the Buick Excelle?

The standard tire pressure for the Buick Excelle is between 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. How to check the tire pressure on a Buick Excelle: Press the MENU button to switch to the vehicle information menu. If a speeding alarm is displayed, rotate the knob at the top of the left lever to the tire pressure monitoring information to view the tire pressure of all four tires. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: 1. Abnormal tire pressure. The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. 2. The tire pressure monitoring system has not been reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this issue. 3. The tire pressure sensor is damaged. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
