License plates starting with D represent pure electric small new energy vehicles, while those starting with F represent non-pure electric small new energy vehicles (including plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles). Plates ending with D represent pure electric large new energy vehicles, while those ending with F represent non-pure electric large new energy vehicles (including plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles). Here are specific details about new energy vehicle plates: 1. Color: Small new energy vehicles use gradient green plates, while large new energy trucks use yellow-green dual-color plates. Both symbolize green, environmental protection, and technology. 2. Additional digit: The number of digits on green plates has increased from 5 to 6, using only two letters: D and F. D represents pure electric, while F represents hybrid. 3. Eliminating fake and cloned plates: The new plates incorporate advanced technology. The manufacturing source, production time, and recipient of each plate can be traced, with nationwide unified management and distribution. 4. "Privileges": Taking Chengdu as an example: Vehicles with green plates are exempt from traffic restrictions based on license plate endings; they enjoy two hours of free parking in many lots; and delivery vehicles with green plates can operate at any time.

What are the functions of the air conditioning buttons on the Audi Q5L?

The functions of the air conditioning buttons on the Audi Q5L are as follows: The three-zone automatic air conditioning system features temperature adjustment knobs on both sides. The AUTO button activates the automatic air conditioning mode, while the fan-shaped button adjusts the air volume. The button depicting a person with three dots represents the air distribution mode, and the small screen directly displays the current interior temperature. The air conditioning activation button is located on the center console, marked with an AC label. Pressing the AC button gradually lowers the cabin temperature. The vehicle's air conditioning refrigeration system consists of components such as the compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower, interconnected by copper pipes and high-pressure rubber hoses to form a sealed system. Automotive air conditioning systems can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify cabin air, providing occupants with a comfortable environment while reducing driver fatigue to enhance driving safety. These systems typically include refrigeration units, heating units, and ventilation devices. The working principle involves engine rotation activating the A/C switch, engaging the electromagnetic clutch to transfer engine power to the compressor. The compressor circulates compressed refrigerant to the evaporator, where refrigerant vaporization absorbs heat to produce cold air, which is then blown into the cabin by the fan.

How Many Times Can You Take the Driving License Subject 4 Exam?

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 4 exam for a driving license, but it must be passed within the 3-year validity period of the driving test. Subject 4 can only be taken after passing the Subject 3 road driving skills test. If you fail the exam, you can apply for a retake on the same day, and the previously passed road driving skills test results will still be valid. Driving License Exam Notes: After scheduling each subject, you can take the exam once and have one retake on the same day. If you do not attend the retake or still fail the retake, you must reschedule the exam. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 must not exceed five times each (i.e., a total of ten exam opportunities). If you still fail the fifth scheduled exam, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and the candidate must start over from Subject 1.

What Causes Excessive Coolant Consumption in the Touareg?

The reasons for excessive coolant consumption in a new Touareg include damage to the car's radiator, poor sealing of the upper and lower water chambers, or coolant entering the cylinder and being burned off. The solutions for excessive coolant consumption in a new Touareg are: regularly inspect all sealing points and their connections, tighten all components, and avoid reusing leak-proof gaskets, tapes, etc. Composition of Coolant: The main components of coolant are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of Coolant: Coolant is generally divided into three types: ethanol-water type, glycerol-water type, and ethylene glycol-water type. Can Different Coolants Be Mixed? It is necessary to use the same brand of coolant. Different brands of coolant may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective. How to Choose Coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are its freezing point and boiling point. The market offers coolants with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.

Where to Install ETC in a Car?

The installation position of ETC for small cars is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed 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 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy'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, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. 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 a steeply inclined windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the right side of the rearview mirror can help 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 black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: 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. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by a malfunctioning ETC device in the vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the preceding vehicle to prevent automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and unsuccessful toll deduction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

Where to Place ETC on the Windshield?

The installation position of ETC for small cars is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate 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 factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide valid ID and original and photocopies of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also required, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60. 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 windshields with a large rearward tilt angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it on the right side behind 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 that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly 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 randomly, 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 is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may prevent the vehicle device information from being read, resulting in a failed toll deduction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause the toll deduction to fail.
