No. According to the "Implementation Plan for Exempting Toll Fees for Small Passenger Vehicles on Major Holidays" issued by the state, the holidays for free highway travel are limited to four national statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day. Mid-Autumn Festival is not included in the list of holidays for free highway travel. Below is some relevant information: 1. Highway tolls: Due to varying economic development levels, GDP, and road grades across different regions in China, highway toll standards differ. More expensive provinces charge around 0.9 yuan per kilometer, while cheaper ones charge 0.3 yuan per kilometer. 2. Precautions: Before entering the highway, be sure to check all vehicle lights, as highway driving at night relies on car lighting. Also, clean the front windshield thoroughly and remove anything that obstructs visibility. Otherwise, reflections or blocked vision may occur under the headlights of other vehicles.

What are the differences between BMW X5 and X5M?

The differences between BMW X5 and X5M include different vehicle positioning, performance, exterior design, equipment, as well as dimensions and wheelbase. The specific differences are as follows: Different vehicle positioning. Although the X5 and X5M only differ by one letter, their positioning is quite different. The BMW X5 is positioned as a mid-to-large-sized SUV, while the X5M is positioned as a high-performance mid-to-large-sized SUV. In other words, the X5M is the high-performance version of the X5, with power output comparable to many supercars. It is an SUV with formidable performance. Significant performance differences. The BMW X5 offers two engine options: a 2.0T and a 3.0T. The 3.0T engine in the X5 delivers 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, with impressive performance parameters, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.5 seconds. The BMW X5M is equipped with a 4.4T twin-turbo engine, producing up to 600 horsepower and a staggering 750 Nm of torque. This heavyweight, weighing approximately 2.4 tons, can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, showcasing outstanding performance. Different exterior design. The BMW X5M looks more performance-oriented than the X5, with added aerodynamic components on the front bumper, side skirts, and rear. Additionally, the X5M features high-performance blue brake calipers with the M logo, which are not available on the standard X5. The larger brake discs give the X5M superior braking capability. Differences in equipment. In terms of comfort and active safety features, the high-end BMW X5 models are better equipped than the X5M, offering features like lane assist, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and autonomous emergency braking, which are not available on the X5M. However, the X5M excels in performance equipment, featuring a rear axle limited-slip differential as standard, a feature typically found only in high-performance vehicles. Different dimensions: The BMW X5 measures 5060mm in length, 2004mm in width, and 1779mm in height, while the X5M measures 4944mm in length, 2015mm in width, and 1777mm in height.

How to properly turn off a keyless ignition system?

Keyless ignition utilizes radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. When the driver enters the vehicle, the onboard detection system immediately recognizes the smart card in your key fob. After verification, the vehicle's computer activates, allowing you to start the engine by simply pressing (or turning) the start button inside the cabin. The process of turning off a keyless ignition is somewhat similar to starting it. First, depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Then, shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), and engage the parking brake (for electronic parking brakes, simply lift the switch). Next, release the foot brake (but do not turn off the power yet) to ensure the vehicle remains stationary under the parking brake's force, preventing potential P (Park) gear lock-up. Continue holding the foot brake, shift from N to P gear, then release the foot brake. Finally, press the start/stop button to power off the vehicle, completing the shutdown process.

What is the ETC system for highway tolls?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through microwave-dedicated short-range communication between the RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses networked technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles paying tolls without stopping when passing through bridge and road toll stations. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to a designated outlet to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old. Own a vehicle registered under personal name. Below are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply inclined windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or where the solar panel might be blocked. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-tamper lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle ahead from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, resulting in failed toll deduction. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction to fail.

Is Full Car Polishing Necessary?

Full car polishing is not mandatory. Here are some details about polishing: 1. Purpose: The purpose of car polishing is to restore the gloss of the paint, but it is generally not recommended for new cars, as they do not require polishing. Although polishing may thin the paint, a small amount of polishing is tolerable, as it only removes the oxidized surface layer and foreign substances. Polishing once or twice has minimal impact. 2. Frequency: New car paint is typically in excellent condition. After the initial period, if necessary, polishing should be done at most once a year. Polishing once or twice is acceptable, but excessive polishing can weaken the paint's self-maintenance ability, reduce its thickness, and even cause damage. Therefore, it is essential to control the frequency of polishing and minimize the number of times to maintain the paint's condition.
