When the clutch plate of a Cruze is faulty, the following symptoms may occur: 1. Higher clutch engagement point: When starting the vehicle, you need to press the clutch pedal and release it higher than before. For example, if it previously took 1 cm of release to move but now requires 2 cm, this indicates the clutch plate has worn thin. 2. Reduced power: Even when the engine is functioning normally, you may feel insufficient power during acceleration or climbing hills. High engine RPM without corresponding power output suggests clutch slippage. 3. Abnormal noises: Metal grinding sounds when pressing or releasing the clutch pedal indicate severe wear of the clutch plate. 4. Vibration: Uneven clutch engagement or noticeable body vibration when starting the vehicle.

Do I need to take a card when entering the highway during holidays?

During holidays, there is no need to take a card when entering the highway, as there are basically no staff at the free lanes during holiday periods. Below is relevant information about free highway travel during holidays: 1. Scope of Implementation: The free travel period applies during four national statutory holidays—Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, and National Day—as well as the consecutive rest days for these holidays as determined by the State Council in the same year. 2. Time Frame: The free period starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday (for ordinary roads, the time is determined by when the vehicle passes the toll lane of the toll station, while for highways, the time is determined by when the vehicle exits the toll lane at the exit).

How to Handle ETC When Changing Cars?

After changing cars, you cannot directly transfer the ETC to another vehicle for use. You need to visit an ETC service point to rebind and reinstall it. This is because ETC devices follow the 'one car, one card, one tag' rule, and they require reactivation after being removed. How to Activate ETC: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays 'Bluetooth is on.' If it shows 'Tag invalid' when inserting and removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile app (usually, there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click 'Device Connection' and wait patiently for the 'Connection successful' prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

Until When Can National V Standard Trucks Be Driven?

National V standard vehicles will not face environmental traffic restrictions or mandatory scrapping for at least ten years. According to the "Light-Duty Vehicle Pollutant Emission Limits and Measurement Methods (China Phase VI)" released by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the National V standard will remain applicable for vehicle inspections in China until July 1, 2025. Below is an introduction to the National V standard: 1. Nature: The "National V Standard" is China's fifth-phase motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. Its emission control level is equivalent to Europe's currently implemented Phase 5 emission standard, imposing stricter limits on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. 2. Effect: Compared to the National IV standard, the new standard reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles.

Can You Still Drive with a Bulging Car Tire?

You should not continue driving with a bulging car tire, as it can easily lead to a blowout, endangering driving safety. Insufficient Tire Pressure: When tire pressure is insufficient, even minor bumps can cause excessive tire wear, leading to bulging. Tire Impact: When a tire is subjected to strong compression, the internal air pressure increases, causing the weaker sidewall to bulge outward. Tire Quality Issues: Bulging caused by uneven cord distribution or insufficient cord strength under normal driving conditions is a tire quality issue. In such cases, you can contact the manufacturer for a replacement. Poor Road Conditions: Severe impacts from poor road conditions can also cause tire bulging.

How many kilometers do original tires generally need to be replaced after driving?

Original tires are generally recommended to be replaced after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, but whether they need to be replaced or not still requires a tire inspection. The functions of car tires are as follows: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: bearing the load of the car, transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, reducing and absorbing the vibration and impact force of the car during driving, and preventing the car parts from severe vibration and early damage. Reducing driving noise: adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy-saving economy.
