NORMAL in a car refers to the standard driving mode, which is the most commonly used mode. In this mode, every aspect of the car's performance is balanced, including fuel efficiency, quietness, and power. It achieves the optimal balance between fuel economy, quietness, and power performance, making it suitable for urban driving. To meet different driving requirements and adapt to various road conditions, automatic transmissions are equipped with different shift logic in the electronic control unit. A mode selection switch is also designed on the control panel, allowing drivers to choose the transmission control mode independently. Common automatic transmission control modes include the following: ECONOMY mode: This control mode is designed to maximize fuel efficiency. When the automatic transmission operates in ECONOMY mode, the shift pattern ensures the engine frequently runs within the fuel-efficient RPM range, thereby improving fuel economy. POWER mode: This control mode is designed to maximize the car's power performance. In this mode, the automatic transmission's shift pattern ensures the engine frequently operates within the high-power RPM range, enhancing the car's power performance and climbing ability. SNOW mode: Some automatic transmission models feature a "snowflake" button near the gear lever, which activates SNOW mode. This mode uses automated programming to start the transmission in second gear, ensuring smoother and gentler torque output and reducing the likelihood of tire slippage on icy roads. SPORT mode: The electronic control unit increases the engine RPM to maintain sufficient torque and enhance power performance, though it consumes more fuel. This mode briefly boosts engine power for rapid acceleration, essentially acting as an acceleration, hill-climbing, or overtaking gear. Using SPORT mode causes a sharp increase in RPM. Additionally, high RPM in SPORT mode helps clean engine carbon deposits. However, prolonged use is not recommended as it increases transmission load, raises temperature, and accelerates wear. INDIVIDUAL mode: This mode allows drivers to customize various module responses, typically including steering wheel weight, chassis stiffness, throttle response, transmission reaction, engine mode, steering system mode, and exhaust system mode.

Does the ETC have to be handled by the car owner in person?

Non-owners can also apply for ETC. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (the page with the latest annual inspection stamp) are required. If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also needed. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit card or credit card from the corresponding bank is also required. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. ETC Deduction Principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with the bank, the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on tolls; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key urban clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a target in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to avoid automatically sensing and paying the toll for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also result in a failed deduction. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for testing. Non-manual loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also result in a failed deduction. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. Excessive thickness of the car windshield can 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.

What is the difference between remote start and remote ventilation?

Remote ventilation allows you to remotely control the ventilation function via a mobile app, which can be operated in the "Vehicle Settings." Essentially, remote ventilation works on the principle of an external circulation blower ventilation system. Remote start, on the other hand, involves using a remote key to start the engine or motor (for pure electric vehicles). The principle is that the vehicle receives a signal from the remote key to start the engine or motor. Additional details are as follows: 1. Remote ventilation: Remote ventilation enables you to control the ventilation function remotely via a mobile app, which can be operated in the "Vehicle Settings." Essentially, remote ventilation works on the principle of an external circulation blower ventilation system. 2. Remote start: This entire process eliminates the inconvenience of manually entering the vehicle to operate it. While the engine or motor is running, the central locking system remains engaged, providing effective security. Typically, after remote starting the engine or motor, the vehicle will operate continuously for ten minutes and will automatically shut down if no further instructions are received.

How Many Times Can a Vehicle Be Transferred?

A vehicle can be transferred an unlimited number of times. However, transfer registration will not be processed under the following circumstances: 1. General situations: The vehicle does not match the records in its file; for vehicles under customs supervision, customs has not lifted supervision or approved the transfer; the vehicle is under mortgage registration or pledge filing. 2. Special situations: When the vehicle is confiscated and auctioned by the People's Court, People's Procuratorate, or administrative law enforcement departments, or when the ownership is transferred through arbitration, mediation, ruling, or judgment by the People's Court, if the original owner fails to provide the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, or vehicle license to the new owner, the new owner must submit an "Assistance in Execution Notice" issued by the People's Court or a certificate from the People's Procuratorate or administrative law enforcement departments stating the absence of the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, or vehicle license when applying for transfer registration. The vehicle management office will then declare the original vehicle registration certificate, license plate, or vehicle license invalid and issue a new vehicle registration certificate during the transfer registration process.

Where is the radar switch located on the Mercedes-Benz C200?

1. The Mercedes-Benz C does not have a parking radar switch. Once the parking radar is installed, the vehicle will automatically display the reverse image when shifting into reverse gear. Many Mercedes-Benz C owners report that the parking radar is inaccurate and slow to respond, so drivers should exercise caution. When reversing, it's essential to master reversing techniques, check the rearview and side mirrors, and not rely solely on the parking radar. During reversing, the parking radar uses ultrasonic principles: sensors mounted on the rear bumper emit ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, calculating the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, then alerting the driver to make parking or reversing easier and safer. 2. Main functions: (1) Accurately measure the distance between the rear of the car and the nearest obstacle; (2) When reversing to the limit distance, it emits an urgent warning sound to remind the driver to brake; (3) It can repeatedly emit voice warnings to alert pedestrians.
