There is no absolute standard for the correct following distance on urban roads according to traffic laws, only dynamic standards. The safe distance between vehicles does not have an absolute standard, only dynamic standards. The most direct and important factor affecting the safe distance is speed. When driving at speeds above 100km/h on highways, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters. Reference speeds: When driving at speeds above 100km/h on highways, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters. When driving at speeds above 60km/h on fast roads, the safe distance in meters should be equal to the speed in km/h. When driving at medium speeds around 50km/h, Three-second interval: At a speed of 36km/h, which is 10 meters per second, the distance covered in three seconds is 30 meters; at a speed of 72km/h, which is 20 meters per second, the distance covered in three seconds is 60 meters; at a speed of 108km/h, which is 30 meters per second, the distance covered in three seconds is 90 meters.

How to Determine if Your Installed ETC is Usable?

Here is the relevant introduction about ETC: 1. Insert the card - Insert the chip card face up into the electronic tag. When you hear a "beep" sound and the electronic tag screen displays "Debit Card" or "Amount," you can normally pass through the ETC lane. 2. If the ETC card is inserted into the electronic tag and it shows "Electronic Tag Invalid" or "No Card Inserted," it means the electronic tag is abnormal and needs to be reactivated and reinstalled at an ETC service outlet. 3. The ETC dedicated lane, also known as the ETC toll platform, refers to China's highway non-stop electronic toll collection system. Vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping and automatically pay the toll, achieving convenient non-cash payment for highway tolls. 4. If you do not take the ETC lane when entering the highway, there will be no entry information, and the exit barrier will not lift, preventing the vehicle from exiting normally. In this case, you must choose the manual lane for passage.

What Causes the Fault Light in Volkswagen Lavida?

Here are the reasons why the engine fault light in Volkswagen Lavida may illuminate: 1. Abnormal engine oxygen sensor: The engine oxygen sensor is usually placed near the intake manifold. Aggressive driving or collisions can cause the sensor to shift or become damaged, leading to sensor abnormalities and triggering the fault light alarm. 2. Clogged fuel injectors and carbon buildup on intake valves: Impurities in gasoline can accumulate at the fuel injector, affecting fuel injection. In direct-injection engines, this can directly cause the engine to stall. After combustion, these impurities can form carbon deposits. When these deposits accumulate on the throttle valve to a certain extent, they can interfere with the normal opening and closing of the throttle valve, affecting the engine's proper operation and causing the warning light to illuminate. 3. ECU feedback error: Often referred to as a 'false fault phenomenon,' this may occur due to loose wiring of certain sensors in the vehicle or certain operations by the occupants that prompt the vehicle's ECU to issue a warning. In such cases, simply visiting a 4S shop to have the fault code cleared by maintenance personnel will suffice.

What are the steps for changing the oil in an automatic transmission using a machine?

Here are the steps for changing the oil in an automatic transmission: 1. Connect the exchange machine: Open the hood, place fender pads, lift the vehicle, perform a simple inspection of the vehicle's chassis, locate and confirm the position of the transmission cooling oil pipes, select the appropriate connecting adapters, and connect the two hoses of the exchange machine to the transmission's inlet and return oil pipes respectively. 2. Check the old oil: Start the vehicle, connect the smart exchange machine to the battery, turn on the smart exchange machine, and observe the cleanliness of the old oil from the old oil display tube. If metal particles, sludge, friction plate fragments, or other impurities are found in the old oil, it may indicate internal wear in the transmission, requiring further repairs and making it unsuitable for an oil change at this time. 3. Replace the filter: Turn off the engine, lift the vehicle, open the drain plug, and drain the old oil. Use a measurable container to collect the old oil, remove the oil pan, and pour the oil inside the oil pan into the old oil container. Replace the oil pan gasket and, if possible, also replace the filter. Note that the location of the filter may vary significantly between different vehicles. 4. Circulation cleaning: Add new oil to the exchange machine, activate the "fill new oil" function of the exchange machine, set the filling amount to match the drained old oil quantity, and start the vehicle. Activate the "circulation cleaning" function of the exchange machine. The driver should operate the gearshift mechanism to perform circulation cleaning for each gear, with each gear's cleaning time controlled within 5-10 seconds, and the total circulation time between 5-8 minutes. 5. Equal exchange: After circulation, stop the engine, add new oil to the exchange machine again, and select the "equal oil exchange" function. Upon completion, observe whether the colors of the new and old oil in the exchange machine match. If they match, the operation is complete. If not, continue adding new oil until the colors of the new and old oil match. Check if the oil level is sufficient. For transmissions with a dipstick, check the dipstick's scale position. For those without a dipstick, lift the vehicle and open the inspection bolt. Excess oil will overflow from the inspection bolt hole. If no overflow occurs, add new oil via the smart exchange machine based on the actual situation until oil overflows.
