During National Day, the highway is free of charge. The free period is from October 1st to October 8th. The free time starts at 0:00 on the first day of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. For ordinary roads, the free time is based on the time when the vehicle passes through the toll lane of the toll station, while for highways, it is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll lane. The vehicles eligible for free highway passage are passenger vehicles with 7 seats or less (including 7 seats) traveling on toll roads, including motorcycles allowed on ordinary toll roads. The free highway scope includes toll roads where airport highways in various regions are free to pass, which must comply with the provisions of the Highway Law and the Regulations on the Administration of Toll Roads. Toll roads established in accordance with the law, including toll bridges and tunnels, are also included.

I often drive out for travel during the National Day holiday and always look forward to the toll-free policy on highways. Generally, from 00:00 on October 1st to 24:00 on October 7th, China's expressways offer free passage for small passenger vehicles with fewer than 7 seats, which is a benefit provided by the state for holiday travel. Last year during the holiday, I drove from Beijing to Tianjin and saved nearly 200 yuan in toll fees, but the traffic during peak hours was extremely heavy—I was stuck in the morning rush for over two hours, so bringing enough water and snacks is a must. Before traveling, I check the official traffic website to confirm the specific time to avoid exceeding the toll-free period. The traffic volume increases significantly during the free period, so it's advisable to choose non-peak hours for travel, such as early morning or evening. Taking advantage of this opportunity to visit relatives and friends is very cost-effective, but safety always comes first.

As a family with kids, I always want to take my children on a road trip around during the National Day holiday. The free expressway policy usually lasts all day from October 1st to 7th, exempting toll fees for small passenger vehicles, which helps us save some money. When planning the trip, I prefer to avoid the peak travel times on the first and last days, such as setting off at 5 a.m. or returning after 7 p.m. to reduce the risk of traffic jams. Last year, we saved over 150 yuan on our trip to Qingdao, but there was an accident causing a traffic jam. Bringing some snacks and toys helped keep the kids patient. A reminder: the vehicle must be a 7-seater or smaller, excluding trucks. Check the local traffic app announcements for details before departure.

Having observed traffic policies for years, the National Day highway toll exemption is a pro-people measure. From 0:00 on October 1st to 24:00 on the 7th, small passenger vehicles enjoy 7 days of free passage, aiming to enhance holiday travel convenience. During peak travel periods, congestion is common, so it's advisable to depart half an hour earlier to avoid crowds. This policy originated in 2012 and has helped the public save significant expenses.

What are the reasons for the sudden increase in fuel consumption of the Edge?

There are several main reasons: 1. Turning on the heater too early: The owner immediately turns on the heater when starting the car or while the engine is still warming up. Since the engine is not yet hot, it blows cold air, which not only wastes electricity but also increases engine load, thereby consuming more fuel. 2. Idling to warm up the car: Idling to warm up the car also consumes fuel. Generally, warming up the car is a habit, but idling to warm it up increases fuel consumption. The correct method is to warm up the car for a few minutes, wait for the RPM to stabilize, and then shift into gear to drive, but avoid heavy loads. 3. Thin cylinder walls: Many drivers of large-displacement cars have engines with relatively thin cylinder walls, making it easy for heat to dissipate outward from the cylinders. To raise and maintain temperature, more fuel is consumed. 4. Fuel conversion: When the engine starts, fuel is converted into electricity to charge the battery, so relatively speaking, this is also a factor in increased fuel consumption.

What is the tire size of the Magotan 330?

The tire size of the Magotan 330 is 215/55R17, which is 17 inches. The Magotan offers multiple models, and different models use different tire sizes, resulting in varying driving effects. In the data 215/55R17, 215 represents the tire width, 55 represents the aspect ratio, R refers to radial tires, and 17 indicates the tire size. When using the vehicle, it is essential to enhance awareness of tire safety and conduct thorough inspections, especially before driving on highways. Besides checking tire pressure, observe the tire sidewalls for cracks and monitor tread wear. Any potential hazards should be addressed promptly. Owners should regularly adjust wheel balance. Excessive wheel imbalance can cause high-frequency vibrations at high speeds, leading to uneven tire wear and compromising driving safety. After tire repairs, dynamic balance testing and adjustment should be performed. The single-sided dynamic balance test value should be less than or equal to 40 grams.

What to Do If Your Car Is Hit While Parked on the Roadside at Night?

Here are the steps to handle a situation where your car is hit while parked on the roadside at night: 1. Determine if the parking was illegal: Illegal parking here does not necessarily refer to parking violations that would result in fines from traffic police. Some open areas may not be under the jurisdiction of traffic police, where parking is allowed but not protected or monitored. Such areas are considered illegal parking spots (any unmarked parking space falls into this category). 2. Contact the traffic police: Regardless of the situation, the first step should always be to contact the traffic police. If there are surveillance cameras, the police can review the footage to assist in the investigation. Finding the responsible party is naturally the simplest and most satisfying solution. 3. Contact the property management: If the roadside area is managed by a local authority, you can reach out to the property management for assistance or request access to their surveillance footage.

What to Do When the REST Light in Magotan Doesn't Illuminate?

Solutions for the REST light not illuminating in Magotan: Turn off the vehicle and then press the REST button, as it can only be used after the vehicle is turned off. If the light still doesn't illuminate after pressing the button when the vehicle is off, it indicates a problem. In such cases, it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop for inspection. The function of the REST button is residual heat heating, which works as follows: After the car engine is turned off, it uses the residual heat from the engine to provide warm air inside the vehicle, preventing a rapid drop in temperature. The heating duration is generally half an hour, after which it automatically turns off. Magotan generally refers to the Volkswagen Magotan, which is derived from the Future B6 closely related to the Passat B6. This is also the first B-class sedan produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment.

Where is the Focus Engine Control Module Located?

Ford Focus engine control module is located on the left front side of the engine compartment, which can be found by opening the engine hood. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. Precautions for using car engines are as follows: 1. Avoid driving in neutral: The engine itself has a deceleration fuel cut-off function, and driving in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observation: When using the vehicle normally, pay attention to observation. If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leakage and communicate with the car 4S store in time to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. Shutdown time: For cars equipped with turbochargers, do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing. Let the engine idle for 10 minutes before shutting down. Cars with turbochargers form carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated cars.
