Here are the specific reasons why the newly matched car key cannot turn: 1. Connection device failure: The door handle and door lock have a connection device failure. The door linkage mechanism may have detached due to driving bumps, preventing the door lock from sensing the action of pulling the door handle. 2. Frozen door in winter: If the door lock, door handle, or door frame area freezes in winter, the key cannot open the door. Do not force the door open if it is frozen, as this can easily damage the door. Only pour hot water on the frozen area to speed up ice melting. 3. Wrong key turning direction: Incorrect operation with the wrong key turning direction. In most cases, turning the key clockwise unlocks the door, while turning it counterclockwise locks it. 4. Lock cylinder failure: Most car owners use remote keys to open or lock the door, rarely using mechanical keys. Due to prolonged disuse, the lock cylinder may rust. Try adding some engine oil to the lock cylinder.

What does ETC tolling photography mean on highways?

ETC tolling photography on highways refers to the segmented tolling system implemented after the removal of provincial boundary toll stations. Highways now adopt a new 'gantry-based segmented tolling' model, where both ETC and manual payment vehicles are charged uniformly based on their vehicle type and actual travel path. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle ahead is stationary, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. Exceeding this speed may result in failure to read vehicle device information and unsuccessful toll deduction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will render the tag invalid. It can be tested at the bank where the ETC card was issued or at highway service centers. Non-intentional loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause toll deduction failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes with cash or card payment. Excessively thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles with replaced windshields after accidents or those with modified front windshields.

What is the white zigzag line on the highway?

White zigzag lines are distance confirmation markings, installed on sections of the highway where overtaking frequently occurs, accidents are prone to happen, or other necessary areas. The purpose of these highway distance confirmation markings is to remind drivers to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead when seeing these lines, thereby avoiding traffic accidents. The total width of the white zigzag distance confirmation line is 300 cm, with each line being 40 cm or 45 cm wide. Starting from the 0-meter confirmation base point, a line is set every 5 meters, with two lines forming a group. These groups are spaced 50 meters apart and are repeated for five sets. Additional sets may be installed based on site requirements. On highways, a set of distance confirmation signs, marked as "0 meters," "50 meters," and "100 meters," are placed at regular intervals. Additionally, three "zebra crossings" are painted on the highway surface, serving as distance confirmation signs and lines. These three "zebra crossings" are spaced 50 meters apart, primarily helping drivers confirm the distance between vehicles. When driving on the highway, the moment the front of your vehicle passes the 0-meter sign, observe the vehicle ahead. If the rear of the preceding vehicle has passed the 50-meter sign, maintain a distance of at least 50 meters. If it has passed the 100-meter sign, keep a distance of at least 100 meters, and so on.

Are highway fuel costs and toll fees about the same?

Highway fuel costs per 100 kilometers are approximately 70% higher than highway toll fees. The longer the distance, the closer this ratio becomes. On highways, avoid driving slowly in the fast lane, maintain a safe distance, and stay away from large vehicles. Below is relevant information about highways: 1. Definition of highways: Highways, abbreviated as expressways, refer to roads specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. 2. Advantages of highways: Increased driving speed, saving travel time; enhanced traffic efficiency; reduced transportation costs; fewer traffic accidents; conservation of land resources (single-lane). 3. Disadvantages of highways: High construction costs, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions per kilometer; environmental impact; longer construction periods as highway construction requirements are much higher than those for ordinary roads; in case of vehicle accidents, they are usually more severe, and traffic congestion is harder to disperse.

Will I be fined for not wearing a seatbelt in the back seat on the highway?

You will be fined for not wearing a seatbelt in the back seat on the highway. Here are some precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Check your car before entering the highway: Before driving on the highway, inspect the car's braking system and tire pressure/wear to avoid emergency braking failure. Both excessively low and high tire pressure are unsuitable for high-speed driving and can easily lead to tire blowouts. 2. Wear your seatbelt: Whether driving on regular roads or highways, you should always wear a seatbelt. Passengers in the back seat also need to wear seatbelts when driving at high speeds. 3. Drive in the designated lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes for different types of vehicles, such as large vehicles and small cars. When overtaking, once you occupy a lane, return to your appropriate lane promptly after completing the overtaking maneuver, and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods.

What Causes the Throttle Pedal to Vibrate at High Speeds?

Vibration of the throttle pedal during high-speed driving is caused by looseness in the ball joint of the steering tie rod. Below are specific details about the throttle pedal: 1. Starting: The operation of the throttle pedal should use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, with the sole gently pressing on the accelerator pedal, using the flexion and extension of the ankle joint to press down or release. When pressing or releasing the throttle pedal, the force should be gentle, ensuring a light press and slow release. 2. Starting the engine: Do not press the throttle pedal all the way down; it is better to have it slightly above the idle throttle. When starting, it is advisable to apply a bit of throttle just before the clutch engagement point, with the throttle opening ideally set to a small or medium level. 3. During operation: The throttle should be increased or decreased according to road conditions and actual needs. Select an appropriate gear to ensure the engine operates mostly at medium speed and with a larger throttle opening to save fuel.

Is it fined to change a spare tire on the highway by yourself?

You can change a spare tire on the highway by yourself, but you must do it in the emergency stopping lane and set up a warning sign. Here are some precautions for changing a spare tire on the highway: 1. When parking: If your vehicle breaks down and you have to stop, immediately park it on the right hard shoulder or emergency stopping lane and turn on the hazard warning lights. If it is at night, don’t forget to turn on the side marker lights and taillights. 2. Setting up a warning sign: Set up a warning sign, commonly known as a triangular warning sign. It is usually placed in one of three places in the car: the trunk, the inside of the trunk lid, or under the trunk cover. Place the reflective side of the warning sign facing outward, walk in the direction of oncoming traffic, and place it 150 meters away in the corresponding lane. 3. Evacuation: Immediately evacuate to the outside of the right guardrail and call the national unified highway emergency rescue number 12122 for assistance.
