In winter, it is recommended to use the internal air circulation when turning on the heating, as this can quickly raise the temperature inside the car. However, when driving at high speeds, it is advisable to periodically switch the air conditioning to external air circulation mode to keep the air inside the car fresh. Below are the differences between internal and external air circulation: 1. The purpose of internal air circulation is to prevent dust and odors from being drawn into the car through external circulation. Therefore, a control system is set up to close the external air circulation ducts, blocking out polluted air from outside. At the same time, turning on the heating with internal circulation can quickly increase the temperature inside the car. 2. External air circulation draws in air from outside the car, processes it, and then blows it into the car's interior. This type of circulation has the advantage of constantly refreshing the air, replacing the stale air inside the car with fresh air. If the window glass fogs up, using external circulation can quickly eliminate the fog.

What does drive-mode mean in a car?

drive-mode refers to the driving mode of a car. Here is relevant information: 1. There are a total of 3 modes in a car: ECO economy mode, NORMAL standard mode, and SPORT sport mode. 2. ECO mode means the vehicle is driving in an economical mode. The vehicle's computer controls the fuel injection volume, and the transmission control module adjusts the shifting logic to ensure the car operates in the most fuel-efficient manner. 3. SPORT mode indicates that the vehicle has stronger power, but it also means higher fuel consumption. In this mode, although the position of the accelerator pedal remains unchanged, the engine instantly increases its RPM, and the transmission forcibly downshifts to achieve rapid acceleration of the vehicle.

Will highways be inaccessible without ETC in the future?

In the future, highways will support both ETC and manual toll collection. The government promotes ETC for advocacy and support purposes but does not mandate it. Vehicle owners can voluntarily apply for ETC. ETC (Electronic Toll Collection): A system for automatic toll collection on highways or bridges. It utilizes computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to pay highway or bridge fees. ETC's deduction principle: Highways will have one or more ETC lanes. Communication between the vehicle's on-board electronic tag (installed on the windshield) and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane enables backend settlement via computer networking with banks. This achieves the goal of vehicles passing through toll stations without stopping to pay fees, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by eliminating stops at toll stations, lowering pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, reducing vehicle wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Integrated Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC." It also sets the target of "reaching a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development plan. More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC adoption for trucks. Future plans include exploring deeper integration of ETC systems with smart transportation 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.

What does the AOFF button in the car mean?

The AOFF button in the car is the start-stop function disable button. When the AOFF indicator light is on, the start-stop function is disabled. Pressing the button to turn off the indicator light allows the start-stop function to be used. The functions of AOFF are as follows: 1. The main purpose of the AOFF button is not for high-speed conditions, but for low-speed driving and repeated stops. It helps automatically shut off the engine to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption and reduce the car's idling time. 2. Currently, most vehicles with automatic start-stop functionality are automatic transmission cars. As long as the car is running, the automatic start-stop system remains in normal working condition.

What does it mean when the engine overspeed warning appears?

Prompting engine overspeed occurs when the accelerator is pressed too deeply, causing the engine speed to rise excessively and exceed the prescribed limit. Excessive speed can significantly impact the engine. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine block: The block serves as the framework of the engine, providing the installation base for all engine mechanisms and systems. It houses all major components and accessories, bearing various loads. Therefore, the block must possess sufficient strength and rigidity. The block assembly mainly consists of the cylinder block, cylinder liner, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket. 2. Common fault causes: Throttle position sensor malfunction, excessive fuel pressure, cold start injector leakage or cold start control malfunction, injector leakage, oxygen sensor failure, ignition system failure.
