Generally, when the car battery light is on, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's charging system, possibly due to internal damage to the alternator, resulting in insufficient power generation. Here are the relevant details: 1. Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'car battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Precautions: Like all batteries, if not charged, the car's 12-volt battery will eventually run out of power. Therefore, cars are equipped with a built-in charging system. Most vehicles have an alternator and voltage regulator to charge the battery and power the car while the engine is running.

What is the original tire model of the Peugeot 301?

The Peugeot 301 has two tire models: 185/65R15 and 195/55R16. In 185/65R15, the first number 185 represents the tire width of 185MM, 65 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width, and 15 represents the rim diameter of 15 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. In 195/55R16, the first number 195 represents the tire width of 195MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The Peugeot 301 is equipped with Giti Comfort221 tires, and the spare tire specifications include both non-full-size and full-size options. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and ensure it is perpendicular to the ground. Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully loosen them; just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn instead of the tire. Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off. Repeat this step for all lug nuts and remove them completely. Place the new tire on the hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are concealed. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also has the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.

What does TC mean on a car?

TC on a car stands for Traction Control System, which improves the vehicle's passability. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects that some wheels are slipping, it applies braking to the slipping wheels to prevent the loss of traction on those wheels. When the system is active, the yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard will flash to alert the driver. The Traction Control System is also known as the Track Control System. When a car brakes on a slippery surface, the wheels may slip, even causing a loss of directional control. Similarly, when starting or accelerating rapidly, the drive wheels may also slip, which can lead to dangerous loss of control on icy or other slippery surfaces. The Traction Control System is designed to address these issues.

Should the ETC Card Be Removed When Not in Use?

The ETC card can be removed when not in use. If the ETC card is frequently left inserted in the OBU device, there may be a risk of unauthorized transactions. Removing it enhances security significantly. Since ETC cards are chip cards, frequent insertion and removal may affect the chip's sensitivity. Therefore, it is recommended to remove the ETC card only when it will not be used for an extended period. ETC, or Electronic Toll Collection, is also known as the Automatic Road Payment System. It is a specialized road tolling method primarily used on toll roads, commonly seen on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Billing Principle: Highways feature one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's windshield-mounted electronic tag and the microwave antenna in the toll station's ETC lane, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with banks in the background. This allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to pay road or bridge fees, all based 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 as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, thereby lowering vehicle wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can process vehicles 2-3 times faster, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Integrated Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation smart cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." The plan also set a target of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators for comprehensive transportation development during the 13th Five-Year Plan. 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 adoption for trucks. There will also be exploration into deeper integration of the ETC system with smart transportation 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 usage.
