You should promptly steer the vehicle away from the traffic lane to a safe location, parking it in an open area far from flammable and explosive materials, crowds, other vehicles, buildings, and trees. If the engine catches fire, quickly turn off the engine. Avoid opening the engine hood if possible, and attempt to extinguish the fire from the radiator and the underside of the vehicle.

Does a new car need inspection in the second year?

According to regulations, a new car needs to undergo an annual inspection at the vehicle management office in the second year. The normal inspection process involves going to a testing station for vehicle checks (lights, tires, exhaust emissions, etc.), and then obtaining the inspection sticker after the vehicle passes the inspection. However, don't forget the "6-year exemption" policy, which simply means that the vehicle inspection part is exempted, and you can directly apply for the inspection sticker. Below is more relevant information: Exemption conditions: The vehicle must be a non-commercial vehicle; the vehicle's rated passenger capacity must be 6 or fewer.

What is the best position to install ETC?

For small cars, the ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have been retrofitted with anti-explosion film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent must also provide their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not take this into account, it can increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In this case, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and cause toll deduction to fail. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to toll deduction failure.

What is the fuel consumption of the Peugeot 408?

Peugeot 408 fuel consumption: 6.4 liters/100 km. Here is an introduction to the fuel consumption of the Peugeot 408: 1. Fuel consumption: Fuel consumption test: the actual average fuel consumption of the 1.6T model is 7.9L/100km, and the actual average fuel consumption of the 1.2T model is 6.8L/100km. These two cars were not tested at the same time or on the same route, but the driving conditions were basically the same, both with the air conditioning turned on. The actual fuel consumption was about 0.5L/100km higher than the displayed fuel consumption. 2. Fuel efficiency: Peugeot officially stated that the transmission and engine of the 408 have been tuned. Although there is not much change in driving performance, it has had some effect on fuel consumption. The air conditioning cooling effect of the 408 is not particularly strong, which may not be a good thing, but it is believed that this aspect has objectively contributed to fuel efficiency.
