Solutions for ETC running out of battery: Park the car under sunlight for a period of time to allow the solar charging panel of the ETC to recharge; Alternatively, take the ETC device to an ETC service point or application office for inspection. If it is within the 2-year warranty period and the damage is not caused by human factors, a new ETC can be replaced for free. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to avoid automatic payment for the front vehicle. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to payment failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not caused by human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to payment failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card for passage. Poor sensing due to excessively thick car windshield. Especially for vehicles that have had accidents and replaced the windshield, or those who have modified the front windshield, need to pay attention.

What is the Octane Number of Gasoline?

Gasoline octane number is a numerical indicator that measures the ability of gasoline to resist knocking combustion in the cylinder. A higher value indicates better anti-knock performance. When gasoline burns normally in the cylinder, the flame propagation speed ranges from 10m to 20m per second, whereas during knocking combustion, it can reach 1500m to 2000m per second. Knocking can cause a sharp rise in cylinder temperature, incomplete combustion of gasoline, and severe engine vibration, leading to reduced power output and damage to engine components. Gasoline with a higher octane number has better anti-knock properties and higher quality. The octane number of a particular gasoline is calculated by multiplying the percentage of different types of hydrocarbons in the gasoline by their respective octane numbers and then summing them up.

What Causes Water Leakage in Volkswagen Lavida?

Water leakage in Volkswagen Lavida is mostly caused by poor sealing issues. The location of the leakage can help roughly identify the problem. For example, roof leakage may be due to the sunroof seal, while water leakage on the passenger side when the air conditioning is on could be caused by condensation from the cold air of the air conditioning evaporator meeting the warm air inside the cabin. It is recommended to visit a 4S store for a detailed inspection. The Volkswagen Lavida is a compact sedan launched by SAIC Volkswagen, combining the excellent quality of German design with many aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture.

Why Do New Car Brakes Squeak?

Reasons why new car brakes squeak: 1. Break-in period for new cars: New brake pads and rotors require a break-in process, and it is normal for them to make noise when braking. The sound will disappear after some time of use; 2. Small particles may get between the pads and rotors while driving, causing friction noise. In most cases, no repair is needed—simply continue driving until the particles fall out; 3. Missing or damaged brake rotor mounting screws may also cause noise; 4. Brake system malfunction, which requires inspection and repair. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, and brake rotors every 100,000 to 120,000 kilometers.
