What does ETC on the highway mean?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. Highways are equipped with one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through dedicated microwave short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, using software networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; Postal credit card application form, which is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to the designated postal outlet to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no charges during the process; Be between 18 and 60 years old; Own a vehicle under personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect 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 blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch below. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: 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 in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front; The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. Excessive speed may fail to read the vehicle device information, resulting in failed charging; When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause charging failure.

How to Handle Vehicle Skidding on Muddy Roads?

When a vehicle skids on a muddy road, correct the steering direction and gently apply the brakes. Here are some precautions to take when skidding occurs: 1. Avoid Sudden Braking: Do not brake suddenly, as this may cause the wheels to lock up and only support the vehicle, completely losing the ability to counteract the skid. Especially if the front wheels lock up, although they retain the function of changing direction, they cannot guide the vehicle's steering, leaving it in a completely out-of-control state. 2. Stay Calm: If the vehicle skids, remain calm. If the skid is caused by braking, stop braking immediately. If the vehicle skids to the left, steer to the left, and vice versa, but avoid excessive steering movements, as this may cause the vehicle to skid in the opposite direction. Do not use the handbrake, as most vehicles' handbrakes operate on the rear wheels, which can easily lead to skidding.

What does a circle with a slash on the dashboard mean?

The circle with a slash on the dashboard represents an average value, corresponding to metrics such as average fuel consumption and average speed. For example, if the dashboard displays a circle with a slash followed by 17Km/h, it indicates the current average speed is 17Km/h. Similarly, if it shows XXL/100km after the circle with a slash, it refers to the average fuel consumption. In reality, the symbols appearing on the dashboard are not limited to these; there are various others, such as: A little person carrying a big sword. This alerts you that the seatbelt is not fastened while driving. Fastening the seatbelt during driving can significantly enhance personal safety. A little person going to the toilet. This is not to remind you that someone is using the toilet inside the car but is actually a temperature display, indicating -4 degrees Celsius. A teapot dripping water. This is the engine oil pressure warning light. At the moment the engine starts, the lubricating oil pressure has not yet been established, so the oil pressure warning light will illuminate for a second. Once the lubricating oil pressure is established, the light will automatically turn off. This phenomenon is more noticeable in winter, but it is normal and nothing to worry about; you can continue to use the vehicle with confidence. There are many symbols displayed on the dashboard, and they come in various forms. When a symbol appears on the dashboard, promptly refer to it to identify the cause.

Why is the Lavida's auto start-stop not working?

The reasons why the Lavida's auto start-stop is not working: 1. Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop function have the system enabled by default. If it suddenly stops working, it may be due to accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button on the car, causing the system to shut down; 2. For manual transmission vehicles, the activation conditions for auto start-stop are more complex. The system will only activate when it detects three actions during parking: "shifting to neutral, pulling the handbrake, and releasing the clutch." The Lavida is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen. In terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 4605mm, 1765mm, and 1460mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.

What is the speed limit when visibility is less than 100 meters on the highway?

When visibility is less than 100 meters on the highway, the maximum speed should not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and a distance of more than 50 meters should be maintained from the vehicle in front in the same lane. When visibility is less than 200 meters on the highway, the speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour. When visibility is less than 50 meters, the speed should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour, and the driver should exit the highway as soon as possible. When visibility is less than 100 meters on the highway, drivers should turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, clearance lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers to ensure that vehicles in front and behind can easily detect their presence. If a motor vehicle is driving on the highway and encounters low-visibility weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, the highway management department should issue speed limit and distance-keeping reminders through displays and other means.
