When the cruise control indicator light is on, it means the cruise control function is activated and can be turned off by pressing the button again. The cruise control button is usually located near the steering wheel and mainly comes in three types: lever-style, steering wheel button-style, and steering wheel control group-style. Its function is to maintain the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed. Cruise control is used to maintain a steady speed for the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, which continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the vehicle's driving resistance to keep the car at the set speed. This eliminates the need to operate the accelerator, reduces unnecessary speed changes, and can save fuel.

When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years.

The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" in duplicate, stamped with the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection office that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature.

Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if a vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can submit the vehicle for scrapping to a local recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle's registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number for a newly purchased vehicle when registering. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

What to Do When ETC Card is Restricted?

ETC restrictions are mostly caused by abnormal status of the bound bank card. The following situations may occur: 1. Account Overdraft: If the ETC is bound to a credit card and there are overdue payments while still using ETC, it is highly likely to result in ETC deduction failure, leading to being blacklisted. Ensure timely repayment of the credit card each month. It is recommended to activate the automatic repayment function for the relevant bank's credit card to perfectly resolve this issue. 2. Abnormal Card Status: For example, insufficient balance in a debit card, frozen bank account, bank system issues, etc., may all cause abnormal card status leading to ETC system deduction failure. If you cannot pass through ETC due to such reasons, you can pay in cash on the spot first and then call the bank's customer service to resolve the issue.

What Does the Engine Oil Grade Mean?

Automotive engine oil grades represent the viscosity and quality of the oil. Taking "15W-40, 5W-40" as an example: 1. The meaning of the letter "W": "W" stands for Winter. The smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. For example, 5W represents resistance to external low temperatures of -30°C, while 20W resists low temperatures of -15°C. 2. The meaning of the number after the letter "W": The number after "W" represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 40 indicates that the kinematic viscosity standard at 100°C is between 12.5mm²/s and 16.3mm²/s.
