2012 Focus button functions are introduced as follows: 1. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): ESP is automatically activated after the vehicle is started, and generally does not require manual deactivation by the driver. In extreme driving conditions, ESP can effectively prevent the vehicle from losing control. 2. Parking Radar/Image: The central control screen displays the reverse image and alerts the owner to obstacles around the vehicle. 3. Auto Hold: There is no need to keep the foot on the brake pedal, as the system automatically locks the wheels. Pressing the accelerator again allows the vehicle to start directly. 4. Internal/External Circulation: Internal circulation means the air is always supplied from inside the vehicle, while external circulation allows the exchange of air between the inside and outside of the vehicle. During traffic jams, in tunnels, or when the external air quality does not meet standards, internal circulation should be prioritized. On high-speed sections, external circulation should be switched every hour or so to prevent health issues caused by stale air.

My own 2012 Focus has very practical buttons. The buttons on the left side of the steering wheel control the volume and mute function, while the right side has the cruise control setup buttons, making highway driving effortless; the most prominent feature on the center console is the air conditioning system buttons, with a fan knob to adjust airflow, up and down arrows to set the temperature, and an air recirculation button at the bottom right—using fresh air circulation while driving is safer for ventilation; the radio area includes station selection and sound effect adjustments, with a USB port next to the CD slot for convenient phone connection and music playback; the buttons below the instrument panel manage the headlights and dashboard brightness, which is crucial for adjusting light during night driving; the window controls are on the door handles, allowing one-touch operation, and the rearview mirror adjustment is nearby, which is key for adjusting the view when parking; remember to clean these buttons regularly to prevent dust buildup, and turn off unnecessary functions when not in use to save power. For safe driving, responsive buttons prevent distractions while on the road, and I check them during every maintenance to ensure everything works flawlessly.

Why does the car not accelerate when in third gear?

If the car can accelerate in first and second gears but not in third gear, it is likely due to insufficient idle speed. Increasing the idle speed can prevent the car from stalling. Below are some possible causes and solutions for the issue of not accelerating when shifting gears: 1. Check the fuel: The octane rating is a monotonically increasing curve and has no functional relationship with the compression ratio. Higher octane fuel burns slower and produces less combustion knock, requiring a higher engine compression ratio. Conversely, lower octane fuel burns faster and produces more combustion knock, requiring a lower engine compression ratio. Lower octane gasoline burns faster, so the ignition timing should be retarded; higher octane fuel burns slower, so the ignition timing should be advanced. In addition to the manual, the manufacturer usually recommends the fuel octane rating on the inside of the fuel tank cap. 2. Check the fuel filter and related components: Inspect the fuel filter (including fuel lines and connectors) and the air filter (including whether the intake pipe is deformed or clogged) for excessive dirt or blockages. 3. Check the fuel injectors: See if they are clogged. 4. High-pressure fuel pump: Inspect the high-pressure fuel pump. 5. Issues after major repairs: If the timing gears in the gear chamber are not aligned properly, stepping on the accelerator may not deliver fuel due to delayed ignition timing.

What is the suitable installation position for ETC?

The ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with explosion-proof film or those that have it installed later, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, and thus should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner themselves, 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. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle license; Vehicle for which ETC is to be applied. Here 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 large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and do not install it in a position that easily blocks the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever, connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If it is removed casually, the anti-removal lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause payment failure.

How much to turn back when seeing the corner during reverse parking?

Reverse parking requires straightening the wheels when seeing the corner. Below is relevant information about reverse parking: 1. Overview: Reverse parking became a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license after 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is an evaluation point in the driver's test, requiring proper vehicle control to enter the garage from both sides while moving. There's a time limit for reverse parking during the test. 2. Methods: There are three most common reverse parking techniques. The first is 'non'-shaped reverse parking, commonly seen in large shopping malls. The second is roadside 'one'-shaped reverse parking, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking. 70% of driving school students find parallel parking more challenging.
