Car menu button refers to the menu, which is the content list. The functions of the menu button vary among different car models. Some models do not have a menu button but instead have a set button. Generally, clicking the menu button will make the car's infotainment system display all the setting lists under the current mode. The menu in a car is the functional operation menu, usually found on the multifunction controls of the steering wheel and the center console. Among them, the lever on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel is generally used for light adjustments, including headlights, front and rear fog lights, and turn signals; the menu button on the center console is mostly the sound effect setting button. Pressing it briefly and adjusting with the knob on the right side can help achieve the ideal sound quality and tone.

I often use the menu button while driving, especially in my Nissan Teana. Pressing that button brings up all the settings menus, like adjusting the audio volume, setting navigation destinations, or changing screen themes, which is quite convenient. I remember spending some time figuring it out when I first got the car, but later realized it's like the main directory of the car, allowing quick switching between different options. The straightforward operation makes it very user-friendly. However, some car models have different designs, and the menu button might be located near the steering wheel or on the center console. So if you find it hard to locate, it's best to press it a few times to get familiar. Overall, it simplifies access to the vehicle's system, and I recommend new drivers take some time to explore the functions of this button while parked to enhance driving comfort.

Can a Private Car Converted to Commercial Use Be Reverted Back to Private Use?

Yes. After a commercial vehicle is converted back to private use, it must be scrapped according to the retirement regulations for commercial passenger vehicles. Below is relevant information about vehicle retirement: Definition: Vehicle retirement refers to the process of selling the vehicle to a qualified recycling and dismantling enterprise for registration, dismantling, and destruction as per regulations. While there is no specified retirement period for small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, other vehicle types do have such limits. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles will be mandatorily retired when they fail inspection. Purpose: The mandatory retirement of vehicles aims to reduce environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions. Vehicles subject to retirement typically have excessive exhaust emissions, are too old, or have components that are aged or corroded, making them prone to accidents.

How is ETC powered?

There are two power supply modes for the ETC in the car, one is using solar panels for charging, and the other is using wired charging. Both types of ETC electronic tags have internal batteries. Solar-powered ETC devices do not require charging during daily driving, and the lithium battery can last for 3 years under normal use. However, for those who do not use ETC frequently, it is recommended to charge the ETC device every 3 months to effectively reduce the impact of natural discharge on the battery's lifespan. For solar-powered ETC devices, you can park the car under the sun for a few hours to charge the device. ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic Toll Collection, meaning electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed. The applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. The working principle of ETC: Through the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles accounts with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, minimizes wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: The ETC lane's passing efficiency can theoretically increase by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
