Automatic transmission cars have only two pedals for the accelerator and brake, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. Manual transmission cars, on the other hand, have three pedals, arranged from left to right as the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. Normally, the left foot controls the clutch, while the right foot controls the brake and accelerator. Brake, clutch, and accelerator work in coordination: 1. Starting: Press the clutch with the left foot and the brake with the right foot, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, then slowly lift the clutch with the left foot. When the car starts to vibrate slightly, move the right foot to the accelerator pedal and gently press it while continuing to release the clutch. The car will start smoothly. Once the clutch is fully released with the left foot, press the accelerator to prepare for shifting. 2. Upshifting: Release the accelerator pedal, quickly press the clutch pedal with the left foot, shift the gear lever to the appropriate gear, and release the clutch pedal. While releasing the clutch, slowly press the accelerator with the right foot. 3. Downshifting: First, press the brake to slow down, then gently press the accelerator with the right foot and release it. Quickly press the clutch pedal with the left foot, shift the gear lever to the appropriate gear, and release the clutch pedal. While releasing the clutch, slowly press the accelerator with the right foot.

Which three types of traffic tickets do not require payment?

Three types of traffic tickets that do not require payment: 1. Unstamped penalty notices - if a vehicle owner receives a penalty notice without an official stamp, it is merely a warning from the traffic police and does not require payment; 2. Illegal parking reminder notices for motor vehicles - these tickets are typically issued by auxiliary police officers and serve as warnings for parking violations without imposing fines; 3. Urban management administrative illegal parking notices - these notices are issued by city management officers and similarly do not require payment at traffic police stations, serving primarily as reminders against illegal parking.

How to Apply for ETC?

ETC can be applied for at bank branches, highway service areas, and other institutions. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, you need to fill out a Postal Savings credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC on-board device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle in their name. For companies or organizations, a business license (or organization code certificate) and official seal are required. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, meaning electronic toll system. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it may increase blind spots. Installing it behind and to the right of the rearview mirror can 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 for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blacked-out areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Points to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to prevent automatic payment for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds of up to 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

What is the actual measured ground clearance of the Custo?

The actual measured ground clearance of the Custo is 400MM, but its body height is only 1734MM. The smaller the ground clearance: The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. Regarding the minimum ground clearance, in previous standards, there was a mandatory requirement for the minimum ground clearance, approximately between 150-160mm, but this mandatory requirement has been canceled in the current standards. The larger the ground clearance: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass through obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the BMW X1 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the BMW X1 is 63L. If the owner does not need to travel long distances and only drives in the city, it is recommended not to fill the tank completely, as gasoline also has weight, and a full tank will lead to increased fuel consumption.
