Remove the card and insert the chip-side of the card into the electronic tag. When you hear a "beep" sound and the electronic tag screen displays "Debit Card" or "Amount," you can then pass through the ETC lane normally. Below is relevant information: 1. ETC: The ETC dedicated lane, also known as the ETC toll platform, refers to China's highway non-stop electronic toll collection system. Vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping, automatically paying the toll, achieving cashless and convenient highway toll payment. 2. Notes: For ETC users, it is recommended to exit via the ETC lane for maximum convenience. If using a manual lane, you must stop the vehicle, remove the card from the OBU device, and have the toll collector swipe the card to obtain exit information. For mixed manual and ETC lanes, the vehicle needs to pause briefly, the OBU will beep once, and the toll collector will click to confirm, forming a complete travel record to avoid affecting the next highway toll fee.

Where to Adjust the Driver's Seat Height?

There is a lever on the left side of the driver's seat and the right side of the passenger seat for adjusting the height. Pull the lever to adjust the seat height. Approximately maintain a distance of one to two fists between your head and the car roof, ensuring that your eye level is slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. Your feet should fully depress the clutch and brake pedals; when holding the steering wheel, your arms should be slightly bent for an optimal position. The backrest angle should be adjusted reasonably—not too reclined nor too upright. In an emergency, an improper angle may increase the risk of injury from airbags.

What Causes the Malfunction of Steering Wheel Sound Control Buttons?

The reasons for the malfunction of steering wheel sound control buttons include functional failure, mechanical failure, circuit failure, or connector failure. Functional failure: Generally, the multifunction steering wheel of a vehicle includes functions such as multimedia volume adjustment, Bluetooth phone calls, and multimedia track navigation. Solution: When these functions fail or behave abnormally, you can manually operate the multimedia buttons on the center console or the corresponding function buttons/knobs on the touchscreen to verify if it is a functional failure. Mechanical failure: Buttons are consumable components that wear out during use, leading to a shortened lifespan. It cannot be ruled out that functional failure and uncontrollable quality are caused by poor quality, unreasonable design, or immature manufacturing processes. Solution: When the first functional verification passes, you can focus on troubleshooting the buttons. Circuit failure or connector failure: Buttons have corresponding matching circuits and connectors/plugs for electronic and electrical connections with the center console. Unsuitable usage environments can accelerate connector oxidation, wire aging, and button contact oxidation, all of which can lead to button failure. Solution: It is recommended to use specialized electronic instruments to check for any abnormalities in the circuit connections.

What Are the Reasons Why a Mechanical Key Can Be Turned but Cannot Open the Car Door?

Mechanical key can be turned but cannot open the car door may be due to the mechanical key not matching, the car door being frozen, or the lock cylinder malfunctioning. Below is a detailed introduction to the reasons why a mechanical key can be turned but cannot open the car door: 1. Mechanical key not matching: Only a mechanical key that matches the lock cylinder can open the car door. When a new key cannot match the lock cylinder, it may result in the car door not being able to open. 2. Car door being frozen: In winter, when the temperature is too low, the car door is very prone to being frozen. In this situation, even if the lock cylinder is unlocked, the car door still cannot be opened. 3. Lock cylinder malfunctioning: If internal parts of the lock cylinder are broken, even if the mechanical key can be turned, the car door still cannot be opened.

How Long Can an Engine Last After a Major Overhaul?

An engine can last for 5-10 years after a major overhaul. However, the mileage after the overhaul will significantly decrease, typically only around 100,000 kilometers. Engine Major Overhaul: A major overhaul is necessary when the engine's power drops severely, accompanied by phenomena such as blue smoke (indicating severe oil consumption), cylinder scoring, or knocking. This involves completely disassembling the engine and replacing components like pistons, piston rings, bearings (big and small ends), valves, timing chains, cylinder boring, crankshaft grinding, and all sealing gaskets and oil seals (for diesel engines, fuel pump calibration is also required). The goal is to restore the engine's performance to its factory specifications. Engine Maintenance Precautions: Tighter Fan Belt is Better: A tighter belt is not necessarily better. Over-tightening can cause the belt to stretch or break, shortening its lifespan. Additionally, excessive tension can lead to deformation or bending of the generator or water pump shafts and premature bearing wear. Using a Blowtorch to Heat the Oil Pan: In winter, using a blowtorch to heat the oil pan can cause chemical changes in the oil additives, reducing their effectiveness. It may also lead to oil caking, deformation of the oil pan, and even fire hazards. Removing the Thermostat Blindly: If the thermostat is removed due to high engine temperature without proper diagnosis, the coolant will only circulate in a large loop, unable to regulate cooling intensity. This makes it difficult to maintain the engine at an optimal operating temperature, often causing it to run too cold. This results in reduced power, accelerated wear, and increased fuel consumption. Engine Temperature: Both excessively high and low engine temperatures are harmful. Always operate the engine within the normal temperature range specified in the vehicle's manual to ensure longevity. Idling to Warm Up the Engine: Warming up the engine at idle speed is inefficient because the low RPM prevents the oil pump from quickly delivering lubricant to all moving parts. The low oil pressure also means critical components operate under dry or semi-dry friction conditions, increasing wear.

Can Used Cars Be Transferred Across Regions?

Used cars can be transferred across regions. First, the license plate of the used car determines where the transfer and archival procedures need to be completed. However, before initiating the archival process, it is essential to inquire about the used vehicle admission standards of the destination region. Currently, most areas require the vehicle's emissions to meet the National IV standard, while some regions also have requirements regarding the vehicle's age. The required documents for cross-regional used car transfer are as follows: Documents required from the seller: Original and one copy of the original owner's ID card, original and one copy of the agent's ID card; original and one copy of the vehicle registration certificate; original and one copy of the vehicle license; original and one copy of the original purchase invoice or the last transfer invoice; vehicle purchase tax payment certificate. Documents required from the buyer: One original and three copies of the new owner's ID card, original and one copy of the agent's ID card; Application Form for Vehicle Registration, Transfer, Cancellation/Transfer-In; One original and three copies of the personal passenger car quota certificate (lottery result); If applying for a local license plate with a non-local household registration, a valid temporary residence permit is additionally required.

At What RPM Should You Shift Up?

You can shift up when the RPM is maintained between 1500-2000. For manual transmissions, it's best not to skip gears when shifting up. The proper shifting sequence is from first gear to second, then to third, fourth, and fifth. When shifting up, check whether the engine RPM is sufficient, and drivers can shift based on the sound of the engine. First gear is for starting, with speeds typically ranging from 0-5 km/h; second gear corresponds to speeds of 5-20 km/h; third gear is for 20-40 km/h; fourth gear is for 40-60 km/h; and fifth gear is for 60-100 km/h. Generally, the optimal shift timing is when the engine RPM reaches 2000 rpm, preferably not exceeding 2500 rpm. While shifting gears, the clutch and throttle must be coordinated properly. Press the clutch pedal fully, then release the throttle pedal, and quickly shift to the corresponding gear. After shifting, release your hand immediately—do not keep it on the gear lever (commonly known as the gear stick) for too long, as this may damage it.
