Why does the Fit manufacturer not recommend driving on highways?

Because the Fit has relatively high noise levels at highway speeds, making it quite loud, which can be tiring for highway driving. Below are specific details about the Fit: 1. Body Features: The Fit's chassis design is quite distinctive. The engine mounting beam (longitudinal beam) gradually extends outward to both sides, connecting with the sill beam until it reaches below the doors. It then gradually converges inward at the rear wheels. The fuel tank is positioned below the front seats. This design essentially ensures the longitudinal beams run continuously from front to rear. 2. Handling: The steering wheel has a slightly heavier feel, offering clearer road feedback compared to the previous generation Fit. The characteristic understeer of front-wheel-drive cars has a higher limit in this generation of the Fit. When cornering or navigating through urban areas, the precise steering and relatively firm rear suspension provide the driver with more confidence.

Can only one ETC be applied for per car?

Only one ETC can be processed per vehicle. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Expressways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the ETC application is related to the vehicle's driving license. If there are multiple vehicles under one's name, different driving licenses can be used to apply for ETC. Documents required for ETC application: The original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle's driving license (the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp must be provided). If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank must be prepared. 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. The vehicle insurance policy for the current year is also needed. For corporate applications, the agent's ID (or driver's license), the company's organization code certificate (or business license), and the company seal are required. ETC deduction principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on expressways. Through microwave-specific short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and using computer networking technology for background settlement with the bank, the vehicle can pay the toll without stopping at the toll station. 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 environmentally friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by reducing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can improve vehicle passing efficiency 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 using ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a target in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators that "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 usage rate of ETC passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC 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 area is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, to prevent the ETC device failure or absence of an ETC device in the vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The speed for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to deduction failure. Unauthorized disassembly 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 processed 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 deduction 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. Special attention is needed for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

Where is the Best Position for a Three-Band Equalizer?

The optimal position for a three-band equalizer varies from person to person, as everyone's perception of sound differs. Therefore, the best high, mid, and low adjustment ratios for a three-band equalizer are those that suit the individual. Below is relevant information about equalizers: 1. Definition: An equalizer is an electronic device that can adjust the amplification of various frequency components of an electrical signal separately. It compensates for the defects of speakers and sound fields by adjusting electrical signals of different frequencies. Typically, the equalizer on a mixing console can adjust high, mid, and low-frequency electrical signals separately. 2. Modern Development Trend: With the widespread use of audio equipment and the ability to discern sound quality, equalizers have gradually been applied in Hi-Fi stages. Since equalizers can reflect individuality in appearance, they have become a popular pursuit among young people.

What are the uses of Toyota shift-lock?

Toyota shift-lock is a parking gear that enables the vehicle to remain stationary on slopes by locking the axle through the gear position. It is a special neutral gear that mechanically locks the transmission output shaft to secure the vehicle. Its function is to act as a brake after parking, preventing the vehicle from moving. Relevant information about joint-venture vehicles is as follows: Introduction: A project jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. Chinese investment methods include granting land and factory usage rights and capital, while foreign investors provide brands, technology, capital, and talent. Joint-venture vehicles are the products of such collaborations. Foreign parties provide technology, talent, and brands for domestic assembly, but core technologies remain controlled by foreign entities. Joint-venture brands under the FAW Group include: FAW-Volkswagen, FAW-Audi, FAW-Mazda (all produced in Changchun, Jilin), and FAW-Toyota (produced in Changchun, Jilin; Tianjin; and Chengdu, Sichuan).

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Slightly Lean to the Left?

There is a situation where the vehicle tends to veer to the left, meaning that while driving straight on a flat road, the steering wheel naturally leans to the left, causing the car's front and rear axle centerline to deviate from the centerline of the driving trajectory. Common causes include the following: 1. Uneven tire pressure on both sides. The solution is to inflate both tires to the standard pressure. Additionally, check if the wear on both wheels is uneven, leading to differences in wheel diameter and traction. 2. Uneven tread wear can cause veering. Damaged springs and shock absorbers should be inspected, especially on the lower side, to see if the spring is overly compressed due to insufficient elasticity or if the shock absorber is leaking oil. 3. Suspension damage, deformation, or misalignment can also lead to veering. 4. The condition of the steering system will also affect the car's straight-line driving.
