It may be a malfunction in the locking mechanism, which requires inspection to determine the source of the fault. It is necessary to use a process of elimination to sequentially check the fuel tank cap, fuel tank cap controller, etc., and promptly locate and repair the fault.

What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving in the City?

When driving in the city, you should pay attention to the following aspects: 1. Maintain a safe distance: Most urban traffic accidents are caused by rear-end collisions. After driving a certain distance, you should tap the brakes to remind the following vehicle to maintain a safe distance from your car. This method is especially practical at night to prevent rear-end collisions. 2. Safe overtaking: Overtaking should only be done when you are 100% confident. After passing the vehicle in front, do not return to your original lane too early. Maintain a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, then signal right and return to your original lane. 3. Slow down when turning: Before entering a curve, lift off the accelerator to reduce speed. When a high-speed vehicle enters a curve, to avoid the centrifugal force causing the vehicle to tilt, try to minimize the arc of the driving path to reduce centrifugal force. 4. Rush for red, not green.

How to Activate ETC After Removal?

ETC Activation Method After Removal: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On". If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's 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 patiently wait for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. ETC Installation Process: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-removal button on the back of the OBU; a red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the protective film on the back of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device.

What are the consequences of not changing transmission fluid for a long time?

The consequences of not changing transmission fluid for a long time include thinning of the gearbox lubricant viscosity, leading to decreased cooling performance and anti-oxidation properties. Here are the relevant details: 1. Lubricant viscosity: Prolonged use causes the gearbox lubricant viscosity to thin, resulting in reduced lubrication performance, decreased sealing capability, increased resistance and wear, unstable pressure, affecting the precision of hydraulic system operation, reduced transmission control accuracy, and impaired shifting precision, smoothness, and response speed. 2. Performance degradation: Deteriorated fluid has reduced cooling performance and anti-oxidation properties, making it prone to issues like high oil temperature, creating a vicious cycle that further shortens the lifespan of both the oil and transmission components.

How long should the engine idle to charge a dead battery?

Charging time for a dead battery at idle speed: If the engine speed is 1500 rpm, charging for 20 minutes can provide enough power for the starter to start the engine once. Below is relevant information about car battery depletion: 1. Emergency measures: First, you need a set of jumper cables. Normally, such cables should be kept in the car for emergencies like this. Besides the cables, you'll also need assistance from another vehicle. Drive the other car over and park it facing your car. Open both hoods, then connect the positive terminals of both batteries with the jumper cable, and do the same for the negative terminals. 2. Knowledge introduction: Does the car come to a complete stop after turning off the engine? Traditionally, it's believed that once the car key is turned to the off position, all components stop working. However, when the engine temperature is too high, even if the car is turned off and the key is removed, the cooling system will automatically activate to cool down the engine. The cooling system will stop working automatically, usually within 3 to 5 minutes.

What is the cause of catalytic damage leading to single or multiple cylinder misfires?

Multiple cylinder misfires in a car engine are issues related to the ignition system, including problems with the ignition coil and other wiring harnesses, as well as blockages caused by fuel injectors. Generally, the causes of multiple cylinder misfires in a car engine include the following: 1. Ignition failure, which requires checking the ignition coil and high-voltage wires. The ignition coil cannot be repaired and must be replaced if faulty; 2. Fuel injection failure, which may be caused by wiring issues or poor fuel injection pressure; 3. Human operational errors, such as carelessness or mistakes during maintenance: faults caused by disturbances, loose connectors, etc.; 4. Wear and aging, untimely maintenance, or the use of inferior, substandard, or non-compliant engine oil; 5. Engine failure, which requires timely replacement.

What is the solution for air conditioning water dripping onto the car?

You can use a towel dipped in laundry detergent or stain remover. The functions of a car air conditioning filter include the following 3 points: 1. Provide fresh air: It prevents the car windows from fogging up with water vapor, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and safe driving. It supplies fresh air to the cabin, preventing passengers from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 2. Ensure safety and hygiene: It keeps the cabin air clean and prevents bacterial growth, creating a healthy environment. It effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and grinding particles from the air. It also effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring that passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. 3. Adsorb harmful substances: It adsorbs moisture, ozone, odors, and carbon oxides from the air, providing strong and durable moisture adsorption.
