The spare tire of Patrol is fixed under the chassis of the vehicle, and the fixing screws need to be removed to take off the tire. Here are some precautions about using the spare tire: 1. Regularly check the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long-distance trips, few car owners inspect the spare tire, and some unprofessional repair shops often neglect this. 2. Do not store oil products together with the spare tire. The main component of the tire is rubber, and rubber is most afraid of erosion by various oil products. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. Many car owners believe that as long as the spare tire is kept in the trunk and not used, it can last for a long time, which is a misunderstanding. It often happens that when a car owner wants to replace a flat tire with the spare tire, they find that the spare tire has severely aged after years of storage and is already unusable. Since tires are rubber products, they will age if stored for too long. Generally, the aging period of tires is about 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.

Can I choose not to use ETC after installation?

It is acceptable to have ETC installed but not use it. According to the State Council regulations, vehicles without ETC or not using ETC in 2020 cannot enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and toll fees can only be paid through manual lanes. How ETC works: 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 at the toll station, computer networking technology is used to conduct background settlement processing with the bank. This achieves the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still being able to pay the highway or bridge tolls. ETC deduction principles: For ETC vehicles, the toll amount is rounded according to the "round down if less than 0.5, no change if equal to or greater than 0.5" rule, then a 5% discount is applied, and finally rounded to the nearest cent. MTC vehicles still follow the "round to the nearest yuan" rule. All 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 queues; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Reduces wear and tear: Saves costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, reducing wear and fuel consumption; Improves efficiency: The efficiency of ETC lanes can theoretically increase 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. 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 using ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a target in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles should reach 50%." 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 vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications.

What does the yellow exclamation mark light in a car indicate?

When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are 4 possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these 4 situations: General Malfunction: An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance or components. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external lighting failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It's recommended to visit a 4S shop for diagnosis and repair. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating transmission failure or low transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark between parentheses with a horizontal line below represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This illuminates when tire pressure is too low. Check and adjust tire pressure to the normal range. Lighting System Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark indicates lighting system failure. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection, or self-check commonly used bulbs including turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circled parenthesis indicates brake system warning, typically signaling brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate brake system inspection is required to prevent accidents.
