The reasons why the car ETC keeps beeping are as follows: ETC not activated: The newly installed device hasn't been activated yet, and it will emit beeping alarm sounds when powered on. Low ETC battery: Newly installed devices may have low battery due to prolonged storage time, which will also trigger beeping alarms. Poor pressure sensing: If the suction cup used to attach the ETC device to the windshield becomes loose during installation, the sensor carried by the cup may not be properly pressed into position, causing an alarm. Accidental triggering of anti-tamper button: Accidentally pressing the anti-tamper button during installation will cause the device to malfunction and trigger an alarm.

Why is the fuel consumption of Geely Vision X6 so high?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of Geely Vision X6 are as follows: 1. Poor driving skills: The same car driven by different people will have different fuel consumption. Vehicles driven aggressively for a long time will have significantly higher fuel consumption. Sudden braking or acceleration can increase fuel consumption by up to half compared to smooth driving, and the difference between city roads and highways is also very noticeable. 2. Low tire pressure: If the car is not inflated for a long time, it will increase the friction between the car and the ground. Greater friction requires more power to move the vehicle, thus increasing fuel consumption. The simplest way to check tire pressure, besides the onboard pressure monitoring system, is to feel the heaviness of the steering wheel. 3. Excessive engine carbon deposits: Carbon deposits caused by the chemical reactions of car fuel are almost unavoidable for all fuels. If not addressed for a long time, it will not only increase fuel consumption but also degrade engine performance, leading to various issues such as rough idling, poor acceleration, and excessive exhaust emissions. Adding a cleaning agent to the gasoline can help, but it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for a thorough cleaning. 4. Oxygen sensor failure: Once the oxygen sensor fails, the electronic fuel injection system and other computer systems will not receive the oxygen concentration information from the exhaust pipe, damaging the engine and significantly increasing fuel consumption. Aging of the oxygen sensor is inevitable, so it is recommended to check and replace it around 80,000 km. 5. Spark plug failure: If the spark plug fails to ignite the fuel effectively, it will lead to incomplete combustion, increasing unnecessary fuel consumption and causing adverse effects such as carbon deposits. The recommended solution is to go directly to a 4S shop for replacement.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Geely Xingrui?

The actual fuel consumption of the Geely Xingrui is 8.4-8.7L/100km. The currently available Geely Xingrui models include the 2021 Luxury+ Edition, Space-Time Edition Star, Elite Edition, Space-Time Edition Moon, Premium Edition, Flagship Edition, and Luxury Edition, totaling 7 models. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is 6.7L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Jingyi S50 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km, the Emgrand has 5.8-6.1L/100km, the Excelle has 4.7-5.0L/100km, the Corolla has 4.0-5.6L/100km, and the Excelle (Buick) has 5.3-5.9L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at red lights can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.

Where to Place the ETC in a Car?

The ETC is generally installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield for regular vehicles, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, it is installed on the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have it installed later, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed on the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for it, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is made by someone other than the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. For company vehicles, the required documents include: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the agent; original vehicle license; and the vehicle that needs the ETC. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rear tilt angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this can increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the black areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the lever in. If removed, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note that: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to toll deduction failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

What causes car shaking when pressing the accelerator deeply?

The reasons for car shaking when pressing the accelerator deeply are: 1. Ignition system: Spark plug issues, which could be due to expired lifespan or excessive carbon buildup. The solution is to replace the spark plugs; 2. Intake system: A dirty throttle body or oxygen sensor, which can lead to an improper air-fuel mixture ratio, naturally causing shaking. The solution is to clean the dirty parts; 3. Fuel system: Common causes include injector failure, fuel pump issues, or clogged fuel filters. The accelerator, also known as the 'throttle' or 'gas pedal', is the control device that regulates engine power (thrust). In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle opening to adjust cylinder filling, thereby determining the engine's output power.
