This is a case of the steering wheel being locked. Gently turn the key with your right hand while turning the steering wheel with your left hand, and the locked steering wheel will automatically unlock. Here is some relevant information about car keys: 1. Every new car comes with an anti-theft key code: New cars are generally equipped with 2 to 3 keys. At the same time, each new car has an anti-theft key code. If only one key is provided, the 4S store can query the anti-theft key code from the database based on the vehicle license and the owner's ID provided by the owner. After obtaining this code, the 4S store will require the owner to provide the key tooth shape number to configure a new metal key. 2. Lost car key: If you lose your car key, you can call 110 or 114 for help. If you call 110 or 114, they will transfer your call to the corresponding coordination center, which will notify a nearby or on-duty lock and key service company. A professional will contact the owner immediately to help solve the problem.

What to Do When the Mazda CX4 Push-Button Start Fails to Ignite?

Mazda CX4 fails to ignite solutions: 1. First, pay attention to safety. Observe whether the road conditions where the vehicle is parked are suitable for push-starting. 2. Before pushing the vehicle, turn on the ignition switch. After reaching a sufficient speed, shift the transmission into 2nd gear, then quickly release the clutch pedal and accelerate. Once the engine starts, quickly press the clutch pedal while controlling the throttle to prevent the engine from stalling, then slowly stop the vehicle. Reasons for the Mazda CX4 suddenly failing to ignite: 1. Severely insufficient battery power, as lower temperatures cause the car to consume electricity more quickly. 2. Serious obstruction in oil flow. 3. Frozen exhaust pipe, carbon buildup in the electronic throttle causing jamming, etc.

What is the original tire for the Mazda CX-4?

The Mazda CX-4 comes with two types of tires as original equipment. The 2.0L naturally aspirated version of the Mazda CX-4 is equipped with 225/65R17 tires across the entire lineup, while the 2.5L naturally aspirated version is equipped with 225/55R19 tires. Below are some precautions regarding vehicle tire usage:1. Regularly check the tire pressure, which should be maintained at 2.5bar.2. Every 3,000 kilometers driven, rotate the front and rear tires to balance tire wear.3. If the pressure is too low, the tire body deformation increases, cracks are prone to appear on the tire side, and flexing movements occur, leading to excessive heat generation, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. This also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.4. If the pressure is too high, the tire cords are overstretched and deformed, the tire body elasticity decreases, the load during driving increases, and impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts. Excessive pressure also accelerates crown wear and reduces puncture resistance.

Can a non-owner of a vehicle apply for ETC?

It is possible to apply for ETC even if you are not the owner of the vehicle. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the following documents are required: the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (with the most recent annual inspection stamp), and if someone else is handling the application on behalf of the owner, the original valid ID card of the proxy is also needed. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit card or credit card from the corresponding bank is required. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a certain amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. ETC Billing Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. The system uses microwave short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. This, combined with computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. All of this operates on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles do not need to stop at toll stations. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, lowering vehicle wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more advanced. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council, in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System," explicitly stated the goal of "achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC." It also set a target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators for comprehensive transportation development during the 13th Five-Year Plan. More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC use for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with smart transportation developments such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent accidental billing for the wrong vehicle due to ETC device failure or absence. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and billing failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag becomes loose or detached, may render the tag invalid. In such cases, take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or a 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 billing failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use manual MTC lanes and pay with cash or card. Thick or modified windshields may cause poor signal reception, especially for vehicles that have undergone windshield replacement after an accident or modifications.

How to Distinguish Between Imported and Domestic Cars?

Here are the methods to distinguish between imported and domestic cars: 1. Some car models of certain brands do not have domestic versions, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, etc. 2. For the same model in both domestic and imported versions, check the rear of the car: those with Chinese characters are domestic, while those with English letters are imported. 3. Check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is a 17-digit code. Any car that does not start with the letter 'L' is an imported car. Below are the differences between imported and domestic cars: 1. Differences in craftsmanship: Some people, without understanding car production, believe that imported products are better than joint-venture domestic ones. 2. Differences in configuration: Domestic cars sometimes only retain the same appearance and interior design. 3. Differences in price: Due to high taxes on imported cars, the same model tends to be more expensive when imported compared to its domestic counterpart.
