The differences between the new Lavida and the old Lavida are the headlights: the new Lavida uses LED headlights; the old Lavida uses halogen headlights. Compared to the old Lavida, the new Lavida adds Bluetooth phone, engine auto start-stop, auto hold, tire pressure monitoring, rear seat air vents, and parking radar functions. The new Lavida is equipped with three engines from the EA211 series: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Its body length is 4670mm, width is 1806mm, height is 1474mm, and the wheelbase is 2688mm.

I think the new Lavida has improved significantly in driving comfort compared to the old model. The seats are softer, and the suspension tuning is smoother, making long drives less tiring. The interior uses new materials - the old version had too much plastic feel, while the new soft padding and stitching appear much more premium. Noise control has also been optimized, with much less wind noise at high speeds. More storage space has been added, making it more convenient to store bags and miscellaneous items. Although the new car price is slightly higher in terms of economic practicality, it's more cost-effective in the long run with better fuel efficiency and lower maintenance. I think these differences are quite suitable for commuters like me who drive daily.

What does Mazda i-stop mean?

Mazda's i-STOP is an intelligent idle stop system. After the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine automatically shuts off immediately, and when the vehicle starts moving again, it restarts within 0.3 seconds to save fuel. Information about the intelligent idle stop system is as follows: 1. This idle stop system is used to replace the starter, injecting fuel into the engine cylinders that are in a stopped state. This causes combustion, thereby restarting the engine. 2. The advantage of the intelligent idle stop system (SISS) is that it not only significantly reduces the weight burden on the engine and battery, but also the engine restart time is extremely short, only 0.3 seconds.

What does the Audi fault code P261A00 mean?

Audi fault code P261A00 indicates a problem with the coolant pump B control circuit or an open circuit. You can replace the car pump. If the fault code persists, check whether the small water pump under the wiper cover and the air conditioning control solenoid valve are damaged. Coolant pump damage: Damage to the coolant pump can lead to insufficient coolant and excessively high engine temperature. The cause of the pump failure may be prolonged use, and a detailed inspection should be conducted at a service center. The function of the pump is to circulate coolant between the engine and the radiator. If the pump does not work properly, the coolant cannot flow within the engine for heat exchange, preventing the engine heat from dissipating. This can cause the engine temperature to rise, reducing the lubricating ability of the engine oil and accelerating component wear. Extremely high temperatures can lead to severe issues such as cylinder scoring or bearing seizure, ultimately resulting in engine failure. During normal driving, the engine temperature must not be too high, as excessive heat can cause poor lubrication, increase component wear, and shorten the engine's lifespan. Function of the car cooling system: The engine block has multiple coolant circulation channels connected to the radiator via hoses, forming a coolant circulation system. A water pump is installed at the engine's upper outlet, driven by the fan belt, to pump hot water out of the engine block channels and cold water in, maintaining the engine at an appropriate operating temperature.

What does 98W on the back of a car tire mean?

98W represents the following meanings: 98 refers to the load index of the tire, with a corresponding maximum load capacity of 750KG per tire; W denotes the speed rating of the tire, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions, with W representing a top speed of 270 kilometers per hour. Functions of tires: Mainly to support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power, braking, and passability; work with the car suspension to cushion the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance and reduce driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. How to identify tire ratings: Based on the maximum speed of the tire, the speed ratings can be divided into different levels from A-Z, with level A further subdivided into eight different levels from A1-A8; generally, the further back the letter representing the tire speed is in the alphabet, the better the tire's characteristics, and the relatively higher the price; similarly, for large cargo, the load index can be divided into different numerical values based on the weight index, such as 62-178; generally, the higher the load index of the tire, the greater its maximum load capacity, the better the materials used, and the more layers and tread the tire has, the better its puncture resistance, load capacity, and other performance characteristics.

Can a lost ETC card be reissued?

ETC card can be reissued if lost. The reissuance method: The car owner needs to bring their ID card, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate to the bank counter to handle the card replacement or reissuance. The installation process of the ETC device is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" and "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device. Method to activate the ETC device: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If inserting and removing twice without attaching the tag shows "Tag Invalid," this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on the phone’s Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually a download QR code is available on the electronic tag), then enter the device activation interface. Click "Connect Device" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle’s front to complete activation.

How long does it take to receive a traffic violation record for running a red light?

After running a red light, the illegal photo notification SMS is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest within about 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not equate to a violation; it only serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and handed over to the relevant staff for verification. If confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS to the owner. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection to handle the matter. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic violation query methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online platforms or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone query: To check violations, you can dial local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation location. SMS query: Open your phone's SMS interface; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message body; input "1062650001" as the recipient and send. Mobile app query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, click "More," select "Violation Query," find any unprocessed violations, and clear them.
