Not all cars are equipped with the SOS onboard self-rescue system. If needed, car owners can have it installed at a 4S shop. 2. The SOS button is usually a red button located near the sunroof controls on the ceiling, marked with the letters SOS. In case of a vehicle malfunction, accident, danger, or emergency, press and hold the SOS button for more than 2 seconds. The vehicle's emergency warning and rescue system will automatically send a distress signal and contact emergency services. 3. If the SOS emergency call yellow light comes on while driving, it indicates a system malfunction, and you should take the vehicle to a repair shop for troubleshooting and maintenance.

Where is the motorcycle ETC installed?

ETC is installed in the upper left corner of the driver's side glass or behind the rearview mirror. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and a red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display 'Sign Invalid, Please Insert Card,' indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the protective film on the OBU adhesive and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to eliminate air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution. Reduces wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improves efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What Causes a Scooter to Emit Black Smoke?

Motorcycles emitting black smoke are primarily caused by an overly rich air-fuel mixture due to various reasons, such as a clogged air filter, an excessively rich carburetor mixture ratio, improper use of the choke, excessively high fuel level, incorrect needle position, oversized main jet or issues with the main jet and emulsion tube, or poor carburetor quality. An overly rich mixture can also lead to excessive fuel consumption. It is advisable to inspect these aspects individually, with a focus on the carburetor. Black Smoke: Black smoke from a motorcycle is caused by improper carburetor adjustment and a clogged air filter, leading to incomplete combustion of gasoline, which results in black smoke. During this period, the vehicle will definitely consume more fuel. Also, pay attention to your spark plug, as some spark plugs with poor ignition performance can also produce black smoke.

What Causes a Motorcycle Engine to Overheat and Stall?

Motorcycle engine overheating and stalling can be caused by fuel exhaustion, abnormal fuel supply, or excessive engine temperature. Below are detailed explanations: Fuel exhaustion. When experiencing automatic stalling during operation, the first consideration should be whether the fuel has been depleted. Abnormal fuel supply. Automatic stalling due to abnormal fuel supply is typically preceded by noticeable power loss and gradual performance decline before the engine eventually stalls. Excessive engine temperature. Overheating leads to poor lubrication, causing piston and cylinder seizure, which also results in engine stalling. The warning signs before such automatic stalling include initial gradual power reduction followed by sudden shutdown. Simple troubleshooting methods: First turn the switch to the off position, then disconnect the fuel line connected to the fuel tank switch. Next, blow forcefully into the fuel line with your mouth (or use an air pump). The compressed air may clear any blockages in the carburetor fuel passage. If the fuel passage remains obstructed, this indicates severe blockage requiring complete carburetor disassembly and thorough cleaning.

What causes the sudden decrease in car audio volume?

Original volume of audio files: If the music file itself has a low bitrate, the volume may be naturally low. For the same playback device, it usually won't be as quiet as a mosquito's sound, so this factor can generally be ruled out. Player software volume: The software player's volume should also be turned up to maximum. Otherwise, there will naturally be no sound. Check this aspect - if this is the issue, adjust the volume to an appropriate level. Electromagnetic interference: Many electrical devices, whether connected to the computer or not, may cause electromagnetic interference. However, this is relatively easy to identify - the sound becomes extremely quiet but not completely silent, and the volume becomes unstable. When the interference weakens, the volume may return to normal or become louder. Alternatively, unplugging and reinserting the speaker plug might restore normal volume, so this possibility should be checked.

What is the reason why the CarPlay in the Avancier 370 cannot be turned on?

When the Apple CarPlay in the Avancier cannot connect, you need to check whether the Apple CarPlay function is disabled on the vehicle's infotainment system and whether the access permissions on the phone are disabled. Additionally, Apple CarPlay is only supported on iPhone 5 or later models with iOS 8.4 or higher installed. Honda Avancier Onboard System: The Honda Avancier supports the use of Apple CarPlay for onboard connectivity. After connecting via the Apple CarPlay function, the phone screen will be projected onto the vehicle's infotainment system, allowing the use of phone apps such as navigation through the infotainment system. Once the voice control function is activated, you can perform voice operations via Siri. At the same time, vehicle status information such as speed and location will be synchronized to the iPhone.

What Should Be Considered When Modifying Car Audio?

When modifying car audio, attention should be paid to whether the products are qualified, the sound quality effect, and after-sales service, etc. Price Consideration: Do not blindly pursue the more expensive the better. Accessories should be selected based on the actual condition of the vehicle itself. Function Selection: Do not blindly pursue more audio functions. The main unit of the audio system is the core that determines the quality of sound effects, while speakers, crossovers, amplifiers, and speaker boxes are important conditions for good sound effects. Other auxiliary facilities do not help much in improving the actual sound effects. Sound Insulation Selection: Do not overly emphasize sound insulation effects. If the driver cannot hear sounds from the road and the power system, it will be impossible to obtain relevant information about road conditions and vehicle conditions, affecting driving safety. Visual Effects: Do not blindly pursue visual effects, such as installing large-diameter exhaust pipes or spoilers just for the sake of appearance.
