Automotive cabin air filters are primarily installed in two locations: one is behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the other is on the lower right side of the windshield. The functions of the cabin air filter are as follows: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption. 4. It prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers, thereby enhancing driving safety. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 5. It maintains clean air in the cabin, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment. It effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and abrasive particles from the air. It efficiently intercepts pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety.

How to Find the Owner's Phone Number to Move a Car?

There are four methods to solve this problem. The first method: Call 122 and inform the operator that your car is blocked, while providing detailed location and vehicle information, such as license plate number, color, and model. Then, 122 will call the other car owner to request moving the car. The second method: Call 114 and provide the license plate number and location of the vehicle that needs to be moved. 114 will then transfer the call to the car owner. However, there is a prerequisite for this method: the other car owner must have previously registered with China Unicom to bind their phone number to the license plate number. If there is no registration, 114 cannot transfer the call for moving the car. The third method: Look for the insurance sticker on the other car, call the insurance company, and ask the staff to help transfer the call to the car owner to move the car. However, this method is cumbersome, and the insurance company staff may not be willing to cooperate, so it is not recommended. The fourth method: Carefully check if there is a QR code for moving the car on the vehicle. Many car owners use it as an alternative to leaving a phone number for moving the car.

Can non-owners apply for ETC?

Non-owners can also apply for ETC. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (the page with the latest annual inspection stamp) are required. If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also needed. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank is required. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. ETC charging principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used for backend settlement with the bank, achieving the goal of vehicles not needing to stop at toll stations to pay bridge and road fees. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a clear target in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to charging 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 testing. Non-human-induced loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause charging failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. Poor sensing due to overly thick car windshields. Especially for vehicles that have had accidents and had their windshields replaced, or those who have modified their front windshields, need to be cautious.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda URV 370?

The actual fuel consumption of the Honda URV 370 is 8.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are the factors affecting fuel consumption and methods to reduce it: Factors affecting fuel consumption: The vehicle's own weight, the car's design, and the thermal efficiency of the engine are three key automotive technologies related to fuel consumption. Incorrect driving habits can lead to a significant increase in fuel consumption; road conditions determine the car's fuel usage; maintaining good vehicle condition is fundamental to saving fuel. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid stomping on the accelerator, as this can multiply fuel consumption. A gentle start not only shortens the engine's warm-up time but also effectively improves fuel utilization, thereby achieving fuel-saving effects.

Does the Encore have a four-wheel drive model?

The Encore does not have a four-wheel drive option, but the performance version of this car comes with four-wheel drive. The performance version adopts a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout, specifically an on-demand four-wheel-drive system. On-demand four-wheel drive only switches to four-wheel drive when necessary, while remaining in two-wheel drive under normal conditions. Below is a related introduction to four-wheel-drive systems: Advantages of on-demand four-wheel drive: On-demand four-wheel drive only switches to four-wheel drive when necessary, while remaining in two-wheel drive under other conditions. The system automatically switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes based on the vehicle's driving conditions, without requiring manual operation. Classification of four-wheel-drive systems: Automotive four-wheel-drive systems are categorized into full-time four-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, and on-demand four-wheel drive. On-demand four-wheel drive is more suitable for beginners in terms of operation, as it does not require driver intervention. When encountering poor road conditions or wheel slippage, the system automatically detects and immediately redistributes the engine's output torque to the front two wheels, naturally switching to four-wheel drive mode, making it simpler to use.
