The dashboard needle of the Excelle not moving is due to the loss of gear signal display or low battery power. You can visit a 4S store for maintenance by after-sales personnel. Different car models have varying dashboard designs, but conventional car dashboards typically include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. Relevant information about car dashboards is as follows: 1. Introduction: The dashboard (instrument-panel) is a rigid plate or structural component used to install instruments and related devices. It can be categorized into screen-type, frame-type, passage-type, and cabinet-type dashboards based on design. 2. Function: The dashboard can feature external lighting and may include an attached control panel. Available in various forms and specifications, it can be equipped with different instruments as needed or combined into an integrated unit.

My own Excelle once had an issue where the dashboard needles stopped moving. I noticed it while out for a drive, and seeing the needles frozen was a bit unnerving. After some thought, I realized common problems usually fall into a few categories: First, electrical issues like a blown fuse, which isn’t uncommon in Excelle, especially in older models with aging wiring. Second, a faulty sensor—if the speed sensor fails, it directly affects the needles. Then there’s the dashboard itself, where loose connectors or internal mechanical wear could be the culprit. At the time, I tried restarting the car, but the needles still didn’t budge, so I rushed to the repair shop. A check confirmed it was indeed a blown fuse, and replacing it fixed the issue. This experience taught me the importance of regularly checking the dashboard—don’t wait for a breakdown to spot a problem. Safety first!

As someone who enjoys DIY car repairs, I believe troubleshooting the non-moving dashboard needles of the Excelle requires a step-by-step approach: First, check if the relevant fuse in the fuse box has blown—this is the most common cause. Then, inspect the speed sensor connection wires and tighten them if they're loose. During winter or rainy days, moisture might cause a short circuit inside the dashboard, so I try using a hairdryer on low heat to dry it out. I've also tried disconnecting the battery's negative terminal and restarting the system, which sometimes resolves temporary glitches. For regular maintenance, it's best to clean the dashboard area periodically to prevent dust buildup—this can save a lot of hassle when the repair shop checks it later.

Does ETC need to be activated every time it is used?

ETC does not need to be activated every time it is used. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on". If "Tag invalid" appears when inserting and removing twice without the electronic tag attached, it is a normal phenomenon and does not affect activation. You can also directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to turn on the Bluetooth function. Turn on the mobile phone Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click on device connection and wait patiently for the "Connection successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the front of the vehicle to complete the activation. ETC installation position: For small vehicles such as cars and vans, the ETC card and OBU device are installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part.

What Gear Should Be Used When Driving Uphill?

What gear to use when driving uphill depends on the type of vehicle: For manual transmission cars, you can use 2nd or 3rd gear when driving uphill; for automatic transmission cars, you can use S (Sport) mode or L (Low) gear, or simply D (Drive) gear. Manual transmission cars are vehicles that use a manual shift mechanical transmission to adjust speed. The driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. Automatic transmission cars do not require the driver to shift gears manually; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears in an automatic transmission car include: 1. P (Park) for parking; 2. R (Reverse) for reversing; 3. N (Neutral) for neutral; 4. D (Drive) for forward driving; 5. M (Manual) for manual mode; 6. L (Low) for low gear; 7. S (Sport) for sport mode.

What happens if a rear tire blows out at 100 km/h on the highway?

Here are the possible scenarios when a rear tire blows out at 100 km/h on the highway: 1. A front tire blowout is the most dangerous because the front wheels are responsible for power output, steering control, and the application of most braking force. A front tire blowout severely affects the driver's control of the steering wheel. In such a situation, the driver must firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, avoid sudden steering movements, and use gentle braking or inertia to slow the vehicle gradually, preventing the tire from separating from the rim. Finally, the driver should slowly move the vehicle out of the traffic lane. 2. A rear tire blowout usually does not immediately alter the vehicle's direction of movement but may create the illusion that the car has become heavier and difficult to move. In this case, simply turn on the hazard lights, gradually adjust the balance between the clutch and throttle to reduce speed, and pull over to the side of the road safely. The fatality rate for vehicle occupants is 100% in tire blowout accidents occurring at speeds above 100 km/h.
