Gears for climbing slopes in underground garages: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, use 1st gear when climbing garage slopes; 2. For automatic transmission vehicles, use L gear if available, otherwise use manual mode. When climbing slopes, both the driving resistance and the backward gravitational force on the vehicle are relatively large. Lower gears provide greater torque output to the drive wheels, and when the torque reaches a sufficient level, it can be converted into strong thrust and traction, reducing the burden on the engine. The L gear is also a low-speed gear, which restricts the vehicle to low gears, preventing the transmission from frequently shifting up or down automatically. This allows the vehicle to reduce speed and increase torque, making it commonly used when climbing slopes.

Can the ETC card be removed midway on the highway?

ETC card can be removed midway on the highway, but it will cause the device connection to be abnormal, making it impossible to pass through the highway directly. You can follow the guidance of the on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card payment to pass. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, you should keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to payment failure. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was processed or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not man-made, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause payment failure. You can follow the guidance of the on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card payment to pass. The windshield being too thick may cause poor sensing. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after an accident or for those who have modified their front windshields.

Where is the engine oil-gas separator located?

The oil-gas separator is generally installed at the crankcase breather port or exhaust pipe of the engine. Below is a detailed introduction to the oil-gas separator: 1. Function of the oil-gas separator: Maintains the good lubrication performance of the engine oil and extends its service life. When the oil-gas mixture enters the separator through the oil inlet line, it is sprayed onto the oil deflector cap (oil dispersion cap). The dispersed oil flows down along the pipe wall by gravity to the lower part of the separator and is discharged through the oil outlet pipe. Meanwhile, the gas, due to its low density, rises and changes its flow direction upward through the separation umbrella, adhering small oil droplets in the gas to the umbrella wall. The droplets gather and flow down along the wall, while the degassed gas enters the pipeline through the gas outlet pipe at the top of the separator for gas measurement. 2. Principle of the oil-gas separator: Separates the engine oil from the gas discharged by the crankcase, reducing the emission of oil from the crankcase breather port to the outside of the engine. Maintains good surface conditions of friction components, reducing wear and corrosion. Keeps the crankcase pressure basically equal to atmospheric pressure, minimizing oil leakage. Fully recycles mixed exhaust gases, reducing environmental pollution and improving engine economy.

Is it okay to leave a car with a flat tire overnight?

Leaving a car with a flat tire overnight will not cause any harm. As long as the vehicle is not moved, a flat tire will not damage the wheel rims. Regarding the suspension, every car's suspension can handle a certain level of height difference, and the thickness of the tire ensures that the suspension won't be affected. The car door also won't deform, but it's best to call a professional tire service to help replace the tire and inspect it. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Emergency handling of a punctured tire: If a car tire is punctured and loses air, first determine the tire pressure, roughly how much it is. Is it completely flat, or just slowly leaking air? The car's built-in electronic devices can directly measure the tire pressure. Actually, the simplest method is to step on it with your foot to check. If there's some air left, it means you can still drive a short distance to reach a repair shop. Be careful not to drive too fast—keep the speed below 60 km/h, and avoid sudden braking. It's best to drive along the far right side of the road and slowly proceed to the repair shop. Repair shops have professional equipment and technicians. 2. Temporarily replacing with a spare tire: If stepping on the tire shows no reaction and it remains completely flat, and the situation is severe, then you should not continue driving. You need to replace it with the spare tire. Under the car's trunk, there are tools, including a jack and the necessary wrench for removing bolts. The location of the spare tire varies by car but is usually easy to find, typically under the trunk or in a conspicuous spot. When removing the bolts, because they were previously tightened with professional equipment, they might be very tight. If the wrench doesn't work, you can use your foot to kick it. Remember, the spare tire is only for temporary use and should not be used for an extended period. After replacing the tire with the spare, go to a repair shop as soon as possible to get a new tire.

Vehicles with tourist bus operation certificates issued by the municipal transportation management department, as well as unit shuttle buses and school buses approved by the municipal public security traffic management department; 3. Administrative law enforcement vehicles and special obstacle removal vehicles on duty; 4. Special operation vehicles for sanitation, landscaping, and road maintenance, as well as funeral vehicles from funeral parlors; 5. Vehicles with diplomatic license plates and temporarily approved entry vehicles.

Why does the water temperature light come on and then go off after driving for a while?

The reason why the water temperature light comes on and then goes off after driving for a while is: After the vehicle completes the self-check, the ECU signal is interrupted. However, for safety reasons, it is still recommended to first check whether the antifreeze is insufficient. If the antifreeze in the radiator is low, it should be immediately topped up to the normal level. When the vehicle's water temperature is abnormal, the water temperature warning light on the car dashboard will illuminate. At this time, it is recommended not to continue driving. Instead, you should stop to check, but do not turn off the engine. Let the engine continue to run at idle speed, and open the hood to dissipate heat. If you see steam coming from the hood, observe first and do not open it rashly to avoid burns.

What is the Difference Between CVT and Tiptronic?

The differences between CVT and Tiptronic are: 1. Different structures: CVT transmissions do not have a clutch; Tiptronic uses an automatic transmission with MT shift mode. 2. Different transmission methods: CVT transmissions rely on two or more specially designed steel belts for power transmission; Tiptronic automatic transmissions use gear transmission. 3. Different fuel consumption: CVT has lower fuel consumption; Tiptronic has higher fuel consumption. CVT is a type of automatic transmission system that can continuously obtain any transmission ratio within the range. Tiptronic combines manual shifting and automatic shifting in one transmission system.
