Method to activate automatic locking: 1. Shift to P (Park) position; 2. Turn the key to the ON position, wait for 4 seconds, then turn it off; 3. Press and hold the lock button for 6 seconds; 4. When the hazard warning lights on the dashboard flash twice, the operation is complete. To deactivate the automatic locking function, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3. If the arrow warning light flashes once, the automatic locking function is turned off. Driving automatic locking, also known as speed-sensing automatic locking, is an electronic device. When the vehicle speed reaches the preset speed in the computer, the door lock button will automatically press down to prevent accidental opening of the door. This is the most common type of driving automatic locking method used in many vehicle models.

I really enjoy studying car features in my spare time, and activating the auto-lock function is actually quite simple. First, start the vehicle's engine, then locate the settings menu on the central control screen or dashboard. Navigate to the vehicle settings or safety options, where you'll find the auto-lock toggle; once enabled, it typically automatically locks the doors when the car is in motion, such as when the speed exceeds 15 km/h. I've used several car models, like Honda's, which requires going into a submenu, but on Ford's screen, it's just a single tap. I recommend checking the user manual to confirm the details, as the steps vary slightly between brands. Enabling it enhances safety by preventing doors from accidentally opening while driving. I usually test it by driving a short distance after setting it up to ensure it works properly. Relatedly, some cars also support auto-unlock, which unlocks the doors when the car is parked and turned off, and this can be paired with the settings for a smoother experience. Don't forget to regularly check for system updates to prevent the function from failing.

Can a new car without temporary license plates but with insurance be driven on the road?

A new car without temporary license plates but with insurance cannot be driven on the road. Here are the relevant regulations: Validity period: Temporary license plates must be used within their validity period. Using them beyond the validity period will result in penalties. Placement: Temporary license plates must be affixed to the windshield. For passenger vehicles that have not yet been registered, two temporary license plates must be affixed when temporarily driving on the road. One should be placed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, where it does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be placed in the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. Usage regulations: These apply to vehicles obtained through purchase, allocation, gifting, or other means that have not yet been registered.

Is It Normal for New Car Wheel Hubs to Rust?

Car wheel rust is a normal phenomenon. Here is the relevant information: Steel wheels: Steel wheels have the main advantages of simple manufacturing process, relatively low cost, and strong resistance to metal fatigue, but their disadvantages are also quite obvious, such as heavy weight, high inertial resistance, poor heat dissipation, etc. Alloy wheels: Alloy wheels have the advantages of being lightweight, high manufacturing precision, high strength, low inertial resistance, strong heat dissipation capability, and good visual effects, but their disadvantages include complex manufacturing processes and high costs. Car tires: The car tire hub is the cylindrical metal part at the center of the axle that supports the tire. In layman's terms, it is the axle installed at the center of the wheel and is an important component connecting the brake drum (brake disc), wheel disc, and axle.

Can ETC be used immediately after plugging in?

After installation, the ETC device needs to be activated before it can be used normally. According to the regulations of the State Council, starting from 2020, vehicles without ETC will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and tolls can only be paid through manual lanes. During free holiday periods, vehicles can still use the highways. For users who have installed ETC, passing through ETC lanes will not incur charges. ETC deduction principles: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at road and bridge toll stations is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period. More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle's device information cannot be read, which will also result in a failed fee deduction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also result in a failed fee deduction. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pay with cash or by swiping a card. Excessive thickness of the car windshield can cause poor sensing. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

How Many Months Does a New Car Need to Sit to Be Considered a Stock Car?

3 months. Here are the details: Stock Car: In fact, there is no clear legal definition for a so-called "stock car," but in the automotive sales industry, the term "stock car" does exist, generally referring to cars that have been in inventory for more than three months without being sold. Various Reasons: As a commodity, cars are large in size, expensive, and have high storage costs, while also occupying a significant amount of dealers' capital. Therefore, dealers generally do not allow inventory cars to sit for too long. However, due to various reasons, there are indeed many cars in the market that have been in the factory for more than three months. As for quality issues, they still need to be judged based on the actual vehicle.

How many liters of fuel does one segment on a car's fuel gauge represent?

One segment on a car's fuel gauge represents approximately 5 liters of fuel, but this can vary depending on the vehicle's fuel tank size. There are two types of fuel gauges: analog and digital. The analog type indicates fuel levels through a pointer position, with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full) marked on the gauge. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates low fuel levels, prompting the need for refueling. The digital fuel gauge displays remaining fuel through illuminated segments—more segments indicate sufficient fuel, while 1-2 segments signal low fuel levels requiring immediate replenishment. Digital gauges also show estimated remaining mileage, but this is only a reference value calculated by the onboard computer based on the remaining fuel.
