ECTPWR refers to the ECTPWR light on the dashboard illuminating in Power Mode, where the transmission shifts into higher gears at higher vehicle speeds and downshifts more sensitively than in Normal Mode. The electronic throttle control system maintains proportional response to accelerator pedal input under all driving conditions, ensuring appropriate engine power output. The electronic throttle control system offers three modes: Normal, Power, and Snow. Normal Mode: Recommended for regular driving to save fuel. Power Mode: Enhances acceleration and is suitable for sporty driving. Snow Mode: Designed for slippery surfaces like ice and snow, where rear wheel spin is appropriately controlled in this mode.

I've been driving for many years and often encounter issues with the ECTPWR button. ECTPWR stands for Electronic Controlled Transmission Power, which is the power mode switch for the electronically controlled transmission. Located near the gear shift, pressing this button turns on the light, indicating that the vehicle has entered a more powerful mode. This is particularly useful for accelerating uphill or overtaking, as the transmission shifts gears later and delivers more power; by default, it's in economy mode, which is more fuel-efficient. I should remind you that accidentally turning on the light is not a malfunction—it's just a mode switch. Regular transmission maintenance ensures it functions properly; otherwise, wear and tear may increase over time. I often use it when driving on mountain roads—it's quite safe, but be aware that fuel consumption will increase slightly.

What is the minimum speed limit for small passenger vehicles on highways?

Highways have a minimum speed limit of 60 km/h, with different speed limits for each lane. For two lanes in the same direction, the left lane has a minimum speed of 100 km/h, and the right lane has a minimum of 60 km/h. For three lanes in the same direction, the far-left lane has a minimum of 110 km/h, the middle lane 90 km/h, and the far-right lane 60 km/h. It's important to note that driving below 60 km/h on highways will result in a 3-point penalty. Additional information: 1. Highways: Highways, also known as expressways, are roads designed specifically for high-speed vehicle travel. Definitions of highways vary across countries, eras, and academic fields. 2. Speed limits: Speed limits typically refer to regulations that set a range of permissible speeds for specific road segments, primarily to alert drivers to control their speed appropriately in subsequent sections and prevent speeding hazards. Speed limits are an essential and crucial aspect of road transportation safety.

Why Can't I See the Corner of the Garage When Reversing to the Right?

Not being able to see the corner of the garage when reversing to the right is because the steering wheel is not turned correctly. Find the right reversing angle: This mainly refers to the distance between the right wheel and the garage corner after turning the steering wheel fully. If this distance is around 30cm, you can usually reverse into the garage smoothly. Judge the distance: Before getting into the car, you should estimate the distance between the left side of the car and the left line. When reversing to the right, if the car is too close to the left side, you should turn the steering wheel to the right a bit earlier. If the distance is farther than usual, you should turn the steering wheel a bit later. Learn to use the rearview mirrors: When you first start driving, you might not have a good sense of how to use the rearview mirrors in the car. This can only be improved through regular practice; learn to observe the rearview mirrors.

What are the speed limits on various roads?

The types and speeds of speed limits on various roads are as follows: Posted speed limits: These are the speeds indicated by speed limit signs and markings on the road. The specific speed limit values are determined by transportation authorities based on factors such as the road's design speed, functional type, geometric alignment characteristics, traffic flow, and roadside environment. Statutory speed limits: On roads without speed limit signs, the limits prescribed by laws and regulations must be followed. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and its implementing regulations, the speed limit on roads without a centerline is 40 kilometers per hour. On roads with only one lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 70 kilometers per hour. When entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, narrow bridges, or when making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed limit on highways is 120 kilometers per hour. Speed limits during special periods and weather conditions: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and its implementing regulations, when driving on ordinary roads in fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters, or on icy, snowy, or muddy roads, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour. These measures are strictly enforced to regulate passenger vehicles.
