If the front hood is not closed properly, the central control panel will not display a warning, but there will be a prompt on the dashboard. The dashboard will show that the engine hood is not closed. If this warning appears, you should not continue driving. Instead, press the hood firmly to close it properly before driving. Below is some additional information about the hood: 1. Classification: Front hood, mid-engine hood, rear hood. 2. Functions: (1) Airflow guidance: The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and the resistance it generates, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. Through guidance, air resistance can be decomposed into beneficial forces, increasing the force of the front tires on the ground, which helps improve the car's driving stability. (2) Protection of the engine and surrounding pipeline components: By improving the strength and construction of the hood, it can fully prevent adverse effects such as impact, corrosion, rainwater, and electrical interference, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle. (3) Aesthetics: The exterior design of a vehicle is a visual representation of its value. As an important part of the overall appearance, the hood plays a crucial role in enhancing the visual appeal and embodying the concept of the entire car.

What to Do If the Highway ETC Fails to Charge?

Highway ETC charges can be paid retroactively. Here are the details regarding highway ETC charging: 1. Retroactive Payment Methods: (1) If you pass a station without being charged, promptly seek assistance from staff at the manual toll lane to make a retroactive payment. This can be done via card or cash for a secondary charge. (2) If you have already left the toll station, the previous unpaid amount can be deducted together with the current charge the next time you exit a toll station. (3) You can also call the ETC customer service hotline for assistance. 2. Consequences of Non-Payment: The system may flag the vehicle for toll evasion, leading to the vehicle's ETC being blacklisted. This will prevent the vehicle from using highways nationwide, and the toll will be calculated based on the longest distance possible on the highway network.

How to Handle a Full 12-Point Deduction on a Driver's License?

C-class driver's licenses require a seven-day re-education and retaking of Subject One if 12 points are deducted within one scoring cycle. However, different types of driver's licenses have different handling methods. The following is relevant information about driver's license point deductions: 1. Introduction: According to Article 43 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 91): The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially issued. Therefore, the initial issuance date of your driver's license is the clearance date, with each anniversary being a scoring cycle. 2. Deduction Records: Uncleared deduction records mean that even after the violation is processed, the deduction record will still remain in the driver's license record; that is, the deduction records of each scoring cycle will always be retained in the driver's license record for future reference; they are only reset to zero upon expiration and accumulated anew.

What is the purpose of non-deductible insurance?

Non-deductible insurance eliminates the deductible amount in auto insurance. Generally, auto insurance policies have a deductible, meaning the insurance company will not compensate for losses within the specified amount. Below are detailed explanations about non-deductible insurance: 1. Definition: The full name of non-deductible insurance is "Special Clause for Non-Deductible Rate," which is an additional coverage to either vehicle damage insurance or third-party liability insurance. Through special agreement, after an accident occurs, the insurance company will be responsible for compensating the deductible amount that the policyholder would otherwise have to bear, calculated based on the deductible rate stipulated in the corresponding main insurance clause, within the liability limit. 2. Non-applicable situations: It does not apply to cases of intentional vehicle damage or hit-and-run accidents; If a car is involved in multiple accidents within a short period requiring compensation, the insurance company will not settle the claim but will initiate an investigation as it may involve insurance fraud; In accidents involving two motor vehicles where both parties reach a compensation agreement through negotiation and resolve the matter themselves without preserving evidence of the accident, the non-deductible insurance will not take effect.

What is the tire model for the Prado?

The Prado comes with two tire sizes: 265/60R18 and 265/65R17. In 265/60R18, the first number 265 indicates the tire width is 265MM, 60 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section at 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, 18 denotes the rim diameter is 18 inches, and the middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. In 265/65R17, the first number 265 indicates the tire width is 265MM, 65 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section at 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width, 17 denotes the rim diameter is 17 inches, and the middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. The Prado is equipped with Dunlop GRANDTREK AT20 all-terrain tires, capable of handling harsh road conditions. Additionally, the spare tire is full-sized. If you wish to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned directly under the vehicle and perpendicular to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully remove them—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when loosening the nuts ensures the nuts turn, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, then fully remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".
