On the highway, if you mistakenly drive into the ETC lane and there are no vehicles behind you, you can reverse and move to the manual lane. However, if there are vehicles behind you and the ETC system has already detected the following vehicle's ETC device, automatically charging and opening the barrier, you should find a safe place to pull over, walk back to the toll station, explain the situation to the staff, and pay the required fee. ETC Usage Precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid accidentally paying for the vehicle in front (due to a malfunctioning or absent ETC device), maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and unsuccessful charging. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag becomes loose or detached, may render the tag ineffective. In such cases, take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service center for inspection. If the issue is not due to human interference, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause charging failure. Follow the instructions of on-site staff and proceed to the manual MTC lane to pay via cash or card. Thick windshield glass may interfere with signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or modified front windshields.

What do the yellow and red dots on tires mean?

The hollow yellow dot indicates the position with the least longitudinal vibration on the tire, meaning this is the lightest spot, known as the tire's light point. The solid red dot indicates the position with the most longitudinal vibration on the tire, meaning this is the heaviest spot, or in technical terms, the center of gravity. Below are the purposes of marking the yellow and red dots: 1. Balancing force distribution: A wheel consists of three parts—the tire, the rim, and the valve stem. Like the tire, the rim also has a "light point" and a "heavy point." To achieve better dynamic balance, pairing the rim's heaviest point with the tire's lightest point creates a complementary effect, balancing the force distribution across the entire wheel. 2. Benefit: Enhances driving comfort and improves the overall driving experience.

How to Use Defrost and Defog Functions?

Using the air conditioning system to defog is the most common method. Here are some related introductions about defogging: 1. Reasons for fogging inside the car: The main reason for fogging inside the car is the temperature difference. When the temperature inside the car is higher than outside, the windows are prone to fogging. Another reason is the high humidity inside the car. The warm breath exhaled by passengers inside the car condenses when it meets the cold glass, leading to the formation of fog on the windows. 2. Best way to handle fogging inside the car: The quickest and most effective method is to turn on the air conditioning cold air. By activating the air conditioning cooling function along with the external circulation, the fog on the glass should disappear in less than a minute. During autumn or winter, use the air conditioning's warm air to blow on the windshield.

Where is the car fuel tank cap switch located?

Press the fuel tank cap lightly and it will pop open automatically. Refueling precautions: 1. When refueling: The engine should be turned off, do not make phone calls or play with mobile phones, and do not use open flames in the gas station. Do not make phone calls or play with mobile phones in the gas station. When refueling, always turn off the engine. If there are many people, you should queue up, and when queuing, be careful not to cut in line and maintain order. 2. When choosing fuel: When refueling, always choose gas stations with better fuel quality, and avoid those with poor fuel quality. If you use very low-quality gasoline for a long time, it will lead to increased carbon deposits in the engine. Not only should you choose gas stations with better fuel quality, but you should also select the correct gasoline grade.

Which subject does the hill start belong to in the driving test?

Hill start is one of the test items in Subject 2, following the uphill stopping. Here is the relevant introduction about hill start: 1. Content of hill start: Hill start is a field test in Subject 2 of the driver's license test, which involves starting a vehicle parked on a steep slope. 2. Test skills for hill start: After the test begins, shift to first gear, release the handbrake, and gently release the clutch. Once the vehicle is stable, proceed up the slope, staying as close as possible to the sideline within 30 centimeters. Try to control the clutch and keep the vehicle speed as slow as possible. For the stopping point, use a reference object to align with the marker pole to ensure the front of the vehicle is aligned with the pole, thus achieving the correct stopping position. Once the stopping position is reached, firmly pull the handbrake and pull it two more times to ensure it is tightly secured. Then, slowly release the brake with your right foot. If you feel the vehicle will not roll backward, it means the handbrake is secure, and you can move your right foot to the accelerator. Starting the vehicle after stopping is the key point; remember not to panic and operate step by step.

How to Check the Manufacturing Year of a Tire?

Locate the DOT marking on the tire sidewall, and the last four digits following DOT indicate the manufacturing date of the tire. The first two digits represent the week of the year, while the last two digits denote the year of production. Here is some relevant information about tires: 1. Primary Material of Tires: The main material of tires is rubber, which has the characteristic of aging over time or after prolonged storage. This aging process leads to significant changes in the tire's physical properties, such as hardness and wear resistance. Continued use of aged tires may mildly affect vehicle performance or, in severe cases, result in a tire blowout. 2. Lifespan of Tires: Generally, all-season or economy tires have a lifespan of 3-5 years, with a mileage of approximately 50,000 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, tires are sufficiently usable for one year post-manufacture. However, for high-performance tires, the lifespan is only about 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. If the price is reduced, purchasing them might also be a consideration.
