Vehicle not moving when in gear is a comprehensive functional failure involving the clutch, transmission, and drive axle. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and transmission, with the clutch assembly secured to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine and can fix or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. The drive axle consists of the main reducer, differential, wheel drive mechanism, and drive axle housing. It redirects the power transmitted from the universal drive at a 90-degree angle, changes the direction of force transmission, reduces speed via the main reducer, increases torque, and then distributes it to the left and right axle shafts and drive wheels through the differential.

How Often Should the Engine Air Filter Be Replaced?

According to the car maintenance manual, it is recommended to replace the air filter every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or once a year. It is advisable to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the formation of throttle sludge. The location of the car's air filter element varies depending on the intake method and the engine's structure. It is generally located in the air filter on the engine intake pipe. There are two types of air filters in cars: dry and wet. The dry type is made of paper or organic materials, while the wet type is made of metal wire mesh. The function of the air filter is to filter out particulate impurities in the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinder and preventing airborne dust from being sucked into the engine, which would accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Air filter: It is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or style. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, cars, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms. During operation, the engine needs to inhale a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust in the air will be sucked into the cylinder, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles in the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. Using a dirty air filter while driving will cause insufficient engine intake, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air filter clean. The car air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several air filter components. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities in the air before it enters the cylinder, reducing early wear of the cylinder, piston, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Therefore, before air enters the cylinder, it must pass through the fine filtration of the air filter. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air filter, if it is found to have little dust and is lightly clogged, it can be cleaned using high-pressure air from the inside out and continue to be used. A severely dirty air filter should be replaced promptly.

Can ETC be used in different locations?

ETC can indeed be used in different locations, as it is universally applicable across the country and has been nationally interconnected since 2015. According to the State Council's regulations, starting from 2020, vehicles without ETC will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, requiring vehicles to pay tolls manually. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they must be activated first. During holiday free-toll periods, ETC users can still use highways, and passing through ETC lanes will not incur charges. ETC Deduction Principles: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, and by using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, vehicles can pay tolls without stopping at toll stations. This is all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, lowering vehicle wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC," with a target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." More future possibilities: Beyond improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will promote ETC use for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with smart transportation developments like vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its ETC device malfunction or lack thereof, maintain a distance of over 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. Speeding may prevent the system from reading vehicle device information, leading to failed deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or a loose or detached ETC electronic tag, will render the tag invalid. It can be tested at the bank where the ETC card was issued or at a highway service center. Non-manual loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. Insufficient balance on a debit card linked to ETC can cause deduction failures. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes for cash or card payments. Thick windshields may cause poor sensing, especially for vehicles with replaced or modified windshields after accidents.

What Causes a Flat Tire on a Car?

Tire deflation is most likely caused by a puncture leading to air leakage, or possibly due to a leaking valve stem. It is recommended to visit a repair facility for inspection and handling. Methods for tire maintenance include: Perform wheel alignment and tire rotation: Conduct a wheel alignment and tire rotation every 10,000 kilometers traveled. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire maintenance also includes regular pressure checks. Tires with pressure exceeding the specified range will significantly reduce their service life, while tires with pressure below the specified range will lead to poorer braking performance, difficulty or heaviness in steering, and also reduce the tire's service life.
