Before resetting, it is necessary to confirm the replacement of the rear brake pads and the sensor wire. The sensor wire must be replaced to reset, otherwise, maintenance data errors may occur. Turn on the ignition. There is a small button at the bottom left of the speedometer; press and hold it to display maintenance information. The display will prompt whether to reset. Press and hold the button again until the progress bar completes, indicating a successful reset.

What do you need to do for the traffic duty during the driver's license test?

Traffic duty during the driver's license test is a requirement set by some local driving schools, where candidates must report to the local traffic police department before taking the third subject test and complete four hours of street volunteer service. Special cases such as pregnant women, disabled individuals, male candidates aged 60 or above, female candidates aged 55 or above, and nursing mothers can apply for exemption from the traffic guidance activities. Instead, they can participate in concentrated viewing of warning education films and other warning education activities. For more details, please see below: 1. What you need to do: Before obtaining the driver's license, you must report to the traffic police department and complete 4 hours of street volunteer service. During the service, the main task is traffic guidance, including reminding pedestrians not to cross the road randomly. The purpose of this is to give candidates a firsthand experience of traffic police work and a deep understanding of the necessity of safe driving before officially hitting the road. 2. According to Article 13 of the 'Interim Regulations on Traffic Safety Practice Education Management for Driving Students': Driving schools are required to have students under the age of 40 participate in a duty activity lasting 1~2 hours per day, mainly at urban intersections and bus stops. The duty is assigned to each driving school based on quotas. Once the driving school fulfills the monthly quota, it must send people to perform the duty.

What is the process for obtaining a Shanghai license plate?

In Shanghai, to obtain a license plate, you first need to have a plate, which is generally acquired through participating in an auction or opting for a new energy vehicle. The process for obtaining a license plate can be summarized into the following steps: 1. First, prepare the necessary materials; 2. Then, undergo vehicle inspection; 3. Review; select a number; 4. Collect the license plate and related supporting documents. Here is a detailed introduction: 1. Material Preparation: After obtaining the quota for a Shanghai license plate, you must first go to the competent tax authority at the vehicle registration location to complete tax declaration. For new license plates, you need to provide the "License Plate Quota Certificate." If transferring a license plate quota, bring the "Motor Vehicle License Plate Cancellation and Renewal Certificate." In addition to the tax declaration form, the following documents should also be provided: (1) The owner's ID card and a copy; (2) The original and duplicate of the compulsory traffic insurance; (3) The first and fourth copies of the vehicle purchase invoice, along with a copy of the first copy; (4) The vehicle certificate and a copy. 2. Vehicle Inspection: Requirements for new vehicle inspections vary across the country. Checking the engine and chassis number are the most basic items, along with comprehensive inspections such as fire extinguishers, brake performance, and headlights. However, the situation in Shanghai is different. For new vehicles, many items can be exempted from inspection, and there is no need to go to the vehicle inspection station of the DMV. 3. Review and Number Selection: The review process is relatively more complex, but it only takes about an hour. Consumers can directly operate the number selection machine to choose a number. As for the number segments, the license plate issuance points at 4S stores in Shanghai are unified, except for some areas like Waigaoqiao, which have special number segments, but the prices for license plates also differ. 4. Collecting the License Plate and Related Supporting Documents: At the DMV, for the 6-choose-1 ready-made number segments, you can directly collect the license plate. Personalized number selection requires three days for production. However, at 4S store issuance points, you cannot collect the plate immediately after number selection; it also takes three days. Consumers can choose to have it mailed for a fee of 15 yuan.

Is it possible not to install ETC?

Yes, it is possible, but car owners are encouraged to install ETC. According to the regulations of the State Council, vehicles that have not applied for ETC by 2020 will not 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. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they need to be activated first. During free holiday periods, vehicles with ETC can still use highways, and ETC users passing through ETC lanes will not be charged. The principle of ETC charging: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted 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 road and bridge tolls without stopping at 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 environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through toll stations without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions, 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 or more, 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 equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development that "by 2020, the ETC usage rate of road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate of passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC by 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 car owners with comprehensive travel services. This means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications.

How to Repair a Tubeless Tire on a Car?

The correct approach is to take the car to a professional tire service shop where they use a specialized tire removal machine to take off the tire and then patch it from the inside with a repair patch. However, you might not have these conditions on the road. The bead of a tubeless tire is softer and fits more tightly than that of a regular tire, making it much harder to remove (which is why a tire removal machine is necessary). Generally, tubeless tires cannot be removed manually. Even if you manage to force them off with regular tools, you risk damaging the bead, leading to seal failure and air leakage. Patching a car tire and a motorcycle tire both cost ten yuan, but car tires are much easier to remove! Professional pneumatic tools are available for this. Motorcycle and electric bike tubeless tires are usually taken to a car repair shop after removing the wheel at a repair shop. Honestly, if the repair shop doesn’t have the right equipment, they won’t bother doing it because it’s too troublesome! Motorcycle wheels can be directly operated on a car tire removal machine, which is quite simple. You can also choose to use both a plug and a self-sealing liquid. In summary, the best solution is to carry plugs, self-sealing liquid, and an air pump with you. If you get a flat in the middle of nowhere where it’s inconvenient to patch, you can use a plug or pour in self-sealing liquid, then inflate the tire. Of course, the tire will be done in two years, whether you drive it or not. The specific method depends on the actual situation. To determine if a tire needs replacement, check the safety line between the treads—the raised ridges at the bottom of the tire, usually horizontal. Just take a closer look at the tire to see. The wear limit position for tire treads is the same for both cars and motorcycles. Additionally, when replacing tires, try to choose wider ones. The slightly higher fuel consumption is almost negligible, but the grip will be better. The same logic applies to cars—the wider, the better. As for the trade-off between grip and wear resistance—grippy tires wear out faster, while durable tires don’t grip as well—this is normal. When replacing tires, you can appropriately go up one size in width, such as replacing a 110-width tire with a 120-width one. There’s no problem with that. The golden rule to avoid punctures on short or long trips is not to drive too close to the roadside, as nails and other debris are often scattered there. Can regular wheels be fitted with tubeless tires? There are two opinions: 1. Absolutely, many people have done it. 2. No, because there might be sealing issues at the junction between the rim and the tubeless tire bead. The best course of action is to ask at a repair shop. Theoretically, it’s not advisable, but in practice, many people modify it. As long as it’s not pushed to the limit, it should be fine.
