AutoLSD refers to the activation of the Automatic Limited-Slip Differential system. Here is some relevant information about the Limited-Slip Differential: 1. Introduction to Limited-Slip Differential: The English abbreviation for Limited-Slip Differential is LSD, which stands for Limited-Slip-Differential. 2. Function of Limited-Slip Differential: During operation, it ensures that both left and right wheels rotate together while keeping the speed difference between them within a certain range to maintain normal vehicle movement. The Limited-Slip Differential is located between the wheels or axles, compensating for the ordinary differential's tendency to spin when a wheel is off the ground. The differential lock is the locking mechanism of the differential, used to lock the inter-wheel differential (between the left and right half-shafts) or the inter-axle differential (between the front and rear drive axles), addressing situations where one or more wheels lose traction and cannot free themselves.

When I saw the AUTO LSD light on the dashboard, I immediately realized it indicates the vehicle's limited-slip differential is working, especially on slippery or uneven roads to help maintain wheel traction and prevent skidding or loss of control. If it flashes or lights up temporarily while driving, it usually means the system is functioning normally. However, if the light stays on continuously, it could indicate a sensor malfunction, wiring issue, or other mechanical fault, which should not be ignored. I recommend checking the owner's manual for specific details or pulling over to a safe location and contacting a professional technician for diagnosis. During regular maintenance, also pay attention to this light—addressing any issues promptly can prevent further complications.

Can a temporary license plate be reapplied if it was issued incorrectly?

Temporary license plates can be reapplied if they were issued incorrectly. Here are the relevant details about temporary license plates: Motor Vehicle License Plate: A paper license plate that permits temporary road use of a motor vehicle, also known as a temporary driving license plate. It is issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. Validity Period: Generally, the validity period does not exceed 30 days. For out-of-town temporary plates, the validity period typically ranges from 3 to 15 days. However, this does not mean a 15-day plate can be directly issued. The validity period of a temporary license plate depends on the distance between the vehicle registration location and Beijing. For example, if a car is purchased in Beijing and driven back to Tibet for registration—an extreme case—a 15-day temporary license plate is usually issued. For nearby regions like Hebei and Tianjin, out-of-town temporary plates are usually valid for only 1-2 days. Even for southern cities like Guangdong and Shanghai, the maximum validity period for out-of-town temporary plates is typically around 3-7 days.

How Many Liters of Coolant Are Needed for Replacement?

Replacing coolant generally requires about 4-6 liters. Vehicle coolant typically needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Method for replacing coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connections to various parts, and the coolant flows through it to be distributed to different parts of the vehicle to function. If there is any leakage of coolant in this area, the hose should be replaced or the connections re-secured as necessary. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continuously inject water into the reservoir to allow it to flow through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially flowing out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose to drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As the cooling system expels some air, the coolant level will drop. Add more coolant until it reaches the "MAX" mark on the reservoir.

What does the marking composed of white dashed lines and triangular areas indicate?

Markings composed of white dashed lines and triangular areas are road exit markings. There are several types of road exit markings: 1. White dashed lines. Used to separate traffic flows moving in the same direction or as safety distance recognition lines. 2. White solid lines. Used to separate motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles moving in the same direction or to indicate the edge of a lane. 3. Yellow dashed lines. Used to separate opposing traffic flows. 4. Yellow solid lines. Used to separate opposing traffic flows. 5. Double white dashed lines. Used as yield lines. 6. Double yellow solid lines. Used to separate opposing traffic flows. 7. Yellow solid and dashed lines. Used to separate opposing traffic flows. 8. Double white solid lines. Used as stop lines.

Can the ETC Card Still Be Used After Being Removed?

The ETC device cannot be used when the card is removed. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Fast Passage Systems," the ETC card must be inserted into the OBU device to function properly; otherwise, user information cannot be read. If the card is taken out, you can use the manual lane and have the staff swipe the card. When the ETC card is inserted into the OBU device, a prompt sound will indicate that the device is activated. Without the card inserted, the device remains in a dormant state and cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations. Therefore, the ETC system cannot be used if the card is removed. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is specifically designed for toll roads and is commonly used on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Deduction Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's windshield-mounted electronic tag and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, the system connects with banks for backend settlement, allowing vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping. This operates on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by avoiding stops at toll stations. Reduces wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and brakes, lowering vehicle wear and fuel consumption. Improves efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic flow efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC." It also sets the target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." Future possibilities: Beyond improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will promote ETC adoption for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-road coordination, and other smart transportation developments, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage.
