ETC expired means that the ETC electronic tag is invalid and cannot be used, which also includes the situation where the ETC card is expired and cannot be used. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether 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' or 'Please Insert Card,' indicating that the device is functioning normally. Clean the windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the protective film on the back 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 facing the driver and the back facing the windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays 'Bluetooth On.' If the screen shows 'Tag Invalid' when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, 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 and open the corresponding mobile app (usually, there is a download QR code on the electronic tag). 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 the activation.

Do Plug-in Hybrids Need Charging?

Plug-in hybrids do require charging, and the charging methods include: 1. Installing the home charging station provided by the manufacturer; 2. Using public charging stations; 3. Using a portable charging gun; 4. Charging via the car's engine. A plug-in hybrid is a type of new energy vehicle that sits between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered cars. It features both the conventional car components—such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank—and the electric vehicle components, including the battery, electric motor, and control circuitry. Plug-in hybrids can be categorized into: 1. Traditional internal combustion engine drive: which relies on fuel consumption for propulsion; 2. Electric drive: which uses the power stored in the battery for propulsion.

What Causes Idle Vibration When Running the AC in Winter?

The reasons for idle vibration when running the AC in winter are: 1. Dirty throttle body; 2. Issues with the ignition system; 3. Excessive compressor pressure; 4. Engine carbon buildup or aging. The solutions for idle vibration when running the AC in winter are: 1. Clean the fuel system and check if the idle speed motor has carbon buildup that needs cleaning; 2. Inspect the spark plugs for excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary; 3. Check the fuel pressure and replace components if needed; 4. Replace engine mounts or other aging parts. The functions of the AC are: 1. To regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to an optimal state; 2. To provide a comfortable environment for passengers, reduce travel fatigue, create good working conditions for the driver, and serve as a crucial ventilation device for safe driving.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting to S Mode in an Automatic Transmission?

Shifting to S mode in an automatic transmission does not require pressing the brake. The methods for using S mode are: 1. Use it during short-distance competitive races; 2. Use it when going uphill, overtaking, or driving on uneven roads; 3. Use it when stronger traction is needed. When shifting into S mode, the engine speed increases, and the transmission delays upshifting while downshifting earlier, enhancing the vehicle's power performance. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The starting steps for an automatic transmission car are: 1. Move the gear selector to the predetermined driving position before pressing the accelerator pedal; 2. Avoid pressing the accelerator abruptly; instead, press it slowly to accelerate gradually.

What is the fuel consumption of the PHEV Passat?

Fuel consumption is not fixed and depends on factors such as the driver's habits, road conditions, and maintenance. Here is some information about the PHEV Passat: 1. Powertrain: The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4T + electric motor P2 plug-in hybrid system. This means an electric motor is added between the engine output and the transmission input, enabling different operating modes such as pure electric and hybrid. 2. Hybrid Structure: Unlike Toyota's E-CVT and most hybrid systems that use a relatively independent layout design between the motor and transmission, the PHEV Passat's hybrid system features a P2 hybrid structure, which has higher integration and requires fewer modifications to the original vehicle.
