Here are the specific differences between BYD DM-i and DM: 1. Advantages: The DM-i Super Hybrid is based on a high-capacity battery and high-power motor, with the vehicle primarily driven by the high-power motor during operation. The gasoline engine's main function is to charge the battery, only engaging in direct drive when additional power is needed, and even then working in tandem with the motor to reduce load. This hybrid technology differs from traditional hybrid systems that rely heavily on the engine, thereby more effectively reducing fuel consumption. 2. Core technical components: The core component of BYD's DM-i Super Hybrid technology is the newly developed Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid dedicated engine, which comes in two versions—the 1.5L engine is mainly used in Qin PLUS and Song PLUS, while the 1.5T turbocharged engine is used in larger models like the Tang DM-i.

What does DS in automatic transmission mean?

Automatic transmission DS means: D is the drive gear; S is the sport mode gear. Other gear positions in automatic transmission are explained as follows: 1. P gear is the parking gear, used for long-term parking of the vehicle; 2. R gear is the reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N gear is the neutral gear, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. M gear refers to the manual mode, where gear shifting is done manually by the driver when the gear lever is moved to M. The method for reversing an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Press the brake to stop the vehicle, hold the lock switch on the gear lever, and shift to R gear; 2. Check the rearview mirrors and the reversing camera to confirm there are no obstacles behind the vehicle, and also honk the horn twice to alert pedestrians and vehicles nearby; 3.

Can the ETC be removed after installation?

The ETC can be removed after installation. However, if the ETC is removed by yourself, it will become invalid because the ETC device has an anti-tamper function. There is a small switch on the back of the ETC electronic tag. Once it is peeled off from the windshield, the internal switch will automatically close. Therefore, you must bring the vehicle's registration certificate to the ETC processing institution for reactivation. ETC billing principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the highway. Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the 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 road and bridge fees without stopping at toll stations is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Save on wear and tear: Reduces costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improve efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased 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. 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 city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators that "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.

How to Shift Gears in a Mercedes-Benz?

Mercedes-Benz gear shifting method is: 1. Mercedes-Benz generally uses a column shifter, where the gear lever is located below the steering wheel; 2. The gear arrangement pattern is the same as that of a regular automatic transmission - pulling upwards sequentially engages N (Neutral) and R (Reverse) gears, pushing downwards engages D (Drive) gear, and pressing the P button engages Parking gear; 3. The electronic shifter only allows gear changes when the key is turned to position 2 or when the vehicle is started. Taking the Mercedes-Benz GLC200L as an example, its body dimensions are 4661mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1664mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2873mm.
