Below is relevant information about FRONT: 1. FRONT on air conditioning: FRONT on car air conditioning means forward, indicating the front window defroster switch. When turned on, the air vents will blow air toward the front windshield. Additionally, FRONT represents zoned temperature control, used to adjust the temperature in the front part of the cabin. The corresponding rear area is for rear passengers. It is the button that controls the air conditioning switch for the front seats. 2. REAR button on car air conditioning: The REAR button on car air conditioning is the rear window defroster switch. When turned on, the rear windshield's electric heating wires will activate. 3.

Where should the ETC be affixed?

For small cars, the ETC is generally installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed on 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 microwave communication signals, the ETC should be installed on the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which means electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide their valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is handled by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed. The vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60 years old. For units or companies, an organization code certificate (or business license) and an official seal are required. 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 this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Avoid affecting charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. 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. 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 prevent issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid 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, leading to toll deduction failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

What is the tutorial for replacing the coolant in the Qashqai?

The tutorial for replacing the coolant in the Qashqai: 1. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water, allowing the water to continuously flow through the engine cooling system. After that, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water; 2. After about an hour of draining, add the new coolant through the radiator hose of the water tank. Then, add another bottle of coolant to the coolant reservoir until it is nearly full; 3. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. At this point, the coolant level will drop slightly as some air is expelled from the cooling system. Add more coolant until it reaches the MAXT mark on the reservoir. The Qashqai's body dimensions are 4315mm in length, 1783mm in width, and 1606mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm.

How to Understand Tire Model Numbers?

Methods to understand tire model numbers: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers. The first number indicates the tire section width, and the second number indicates the rim diameter, both measured in inches. The letters or symbols in between have special meanings: 'x' denotes high-pressure tires; 'R' and 'Z' denote radial tires; a hyphen indicates low-pressure tires. The ply rating refers to the nominal number of fabric layers in the tire rubber, which may not exactly match the actual number of layers, serving as an important indicator of tire strength. A set of numbers and letters indicates the manufacturing date and quantity of the tires. The trademark is the logo of the tire manufacturer, including text and patterns, usually prominent and eye-catching for easy identification. Tire markings are generally standardized, and once clearly understood, you can confidently purchase and use them.
