Solutions for the Focus engine overheating warning are as follows: 1. Add coolant: High engine temperature is often due to insufficient coolant in the antifreeze reservoir. There are many small tubes involved; if the antifreeze leakage is caused by looseness, you can choose to wrap the damaged tube with a rope or plastic bag. If you need to add antifreeze at this time, be sure to wait until the coolant temperature drops before adding it. 2. Inspect the electric fan: If the temperature rises to the red line and the electric fan does not turn, it indicates that the fan temperature control switch is damaged. In this case, open the hood and let the engine sit for half an hour until the temperature drops, then proceed with inspection and repair.

How Many ETC Cards Can One Person Have?

An individual can apply for multiple ETC cards. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Expressways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the application for ETC is related to the vehicle's registration certificate. If you own multiple vehicles, you can use different registration certificates to apply for ETC. Documents required for ETC application: The original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp must be provided). If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If applying through major bank branches, a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank is needed. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding with a debit card. The current year's vehicle insurance policy is also required. For corporate applications, the agent's ID card (or driver's license), the company's organization code certificate (or business license), and the company seal are necessary. ETC billing principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the expressway. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the computer network technology is used to settle accounts with the bank, achieving the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station. 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: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through the toll station without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by reducing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering 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 urban clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a target in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development plan: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for 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 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 usage. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, and the fee deduction will fail. 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 applied for 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 cause the fee deduction to fail. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. Poor sensing due to overly thick car windshields. Special attention is needed for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

What Causes a Spongy Brake Pedal in Sedans?

Brake pedal feels spongy and only works when fully depressed mainly due to the following reasons: 1. Severely worn brake pads: When brake pads are excessively worn, the gap between the pads and brake discs increases, requiring drivers to press the pedal deeper to achieve deceleration. This issue can be resolved by replacing the brake pads. 2. Insufficient brake fluid leading to longer brake travel: When there's insufficient brake fluid or excessive air in the brake lines, the brakes become spongy. The solution is to add brake fluid and bleed the air from the brake lines.

What to Do When the Engine Management System Fails?

This warning indicates that there is a fault in the engine. You can go to a service station for a computer diagnosis. The staff can clear the fault simply by using a specialized automotive diagnostic computer. 1. Symptoms: The engine speed is unstable, with noticeably reduced power and backfiring. During operation, the speed fluctuates between high and low, which is known as engine stalling, and the fault is referred to as an engine stalling fault. 2. Causes: The reasons for the engine speed fluctuating between high and low include faults in the fuel injection system, faults in the ignition control system, and faults in the intake system.

What does DCT mean?

DCT stands for Dual Clutch Transmission. A dual clutch transmission is a relatively simple automatic transmission. It is a product developed based on manual transmissions, featuring two sets of clutches inside—one controls the odd-numbered gears, and the other controls the even-numbered gears. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Dual clutch transmissions offer fast gear shifting and high transmission efficiency. 2. There are two types of dual clutch transmissions: dry and wet. 3. In a dry dual clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission oil, whereas in a wet dual clutch transmission, the clutch plates are immersed in transmission oil.
