The differences between National 5 and National 6 when buying a car are as follows: 1. Price difference: National 6 cars are generally more expensive than National 5 cars, mainly because automakers need to comply with policy implementation by submitting applications to relevant departments and conducting various pollution tests, which increases costs and consequently raises the vehicle price. Additionally, National 6 vehicles are equipped with more configurations compared to National 5 to reduce environmental pollution. 2. Access restrictions: With the implementation of the National 6 policy, vehicles that do not meet the emission standards will face certain driving restrictions. Typically, National 5 or below vehicles may be directly prohibited from road use due to non-compliance with emission requirements. Therefore, many National 5 vehicle owners switch to National 6 cars to ensure normal road usage.

Can ETC vehicles use manual lanes when exiting the highway?

ETC vehicles can use manual lanes when exiting the highway. When entering the highway, the ETC system records the vehicle's information. Upon exiting, the system deducts the fee based on the recorded data. If the vehicle enters a manual lane, the driver can remove the ETC card and hand it to the staff for manual scanning, which still allows the information to be read and the fee deducted, after which the barrier will lift for normal passage. ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road tolling system. It is specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Deduction Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane enables backend settlement with banks via computer networking technology. This allows vehicles to pay tolls without stopping at toll booths, operating on a "pass first, deduct later" principle. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by enabling non-stop passage through toll booths. Cost and wear reduction: Lowers fuel consumption and wear by reducing frequent starts and stops. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more advanced. 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 Integrated Transportation System" explicitly states goals such as achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing ETC adoption rates, targeting 50% ETC usage for road passenger vehicles by 2020. Future possibilities: Beyond improving ETC installation convenience and passenger vehicle usage, future efforts will promote ETC adoption for trucks and explore deeper integration with smart transportation initiatives like vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-infrastructure coordination, offering comprehensive travel services and expanding ETC application scenarios. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid mistakenly paying for the vehicle ahead (due to ETC device failure or absence), maintain a distance of over 10 meters. The ETC lane recognition speed limit is 20 km/h. Exceeding this speed may result in failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or loosening/detachment of the ETC tag, will deactivate the tag. Non-deliberate cases can be reactivated after inspection at the issuing bank or highway service center. Insufficient balance on debit cards linked to ETC may cause deduction failures. Follow staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes with cash or card payments. Thick or replaced windshields (e.g., after accidents or modifications) may impair ETC signal reception. ETC Working Principle: Via short-range communication between the vehicle's windshield-mounted electronic tag and the toll station's microwave antenna, backend banking settlement is processed through computer networking, enabling toll payment without stopping at highway or bridge toll booths. Benefits of Installing ETC: Saves time by eliminating queues. Reduces pollution via non-stop passage, lowering noise and emissions. Cuts costs by minimizing frequent starts/stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Boosts efficiency with 2-3 times higher lane throughput, offering more advanced technology than license plate payment.

The car is full of gas, but the fuel gauge shows empty. What should I do?

Generally, this happens when refueling too quickly while the fuel tank temperature is high, causing gasoline vapor to rush out suddenly and trigger the fuel gun to stop. If the fuel gauge needle never reaches full after every refueling, it might be necessary to check the fuel tank float and consider replacing the fuel pump.

How to Use a Vehicle Warning Triangle?

In the event of a vehicle breakdown or traffic accident, the warning triangle should be placed 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. If the situation occurs on a highway, the warning triangle must be placed at least 150 meters behind the vehicle. For high-speed roads, the distance should be increased to 200 meters.

What to Do When the Car Starter Doesn't Respond?

If not, you can turn on the headlights to observe their brightness. If the headlights dim or do not light up at all, it indicates a severe battery discharge. Use the emergency method of short-circuiting the 30 and 50 terminals to start the car. This indicates an internal fault in the DC motor, possibly due to stuck brushes. You can tap the starter twice with a wrench.
