Here are the correct methods for starting with a dual-clutch transmission: 1. When starting, make sure to press the brake pedal. Then shift into N (Neutral) to start the engine. After the engine starts, shift into D (Drive), release the brake, and gently press the accelerator for a smooth start. Avoid launch starts. 2. Always shift into N (Neutral) when parking. The principle of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to a manual transmission. When parking, the clutch is not fully disengaged. 3. Frequently use manual mode. Regular use of manual mode allows the transmission to develop a memory effect and operate according to your driving habits. This personalizes the driving experience and helps reduce shift frequency, thereby lowering the probability of malfunctions. Additional Information: Correct parking method for dual-clutch transmission: When parking, first press the brake pedal and wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Then shift into N (Neutral), turn off the engine, and finally shift into P (Park) to complete the parking process.

What to Do When ETC Shows Illegal Removal?

The solution when ETC shows illegal removal is to reinstall and reactivate it at an ETC customer service center or service outlet. ETC Working Principle: Through the dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used to process background settlements with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while paying the tolls. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle ahead that has stopped, to prevent the vehicle ahead from having a faulty ETC device or no ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. 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 inspection. If the detachment or loosening is not due to human factors, simply reactivating it will suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause the fee deduction to fail. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by paying with cash or card.
