For small cars, the ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the upper part. The suitable installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for official vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle registration certificate; Vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and 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-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If it is removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: etc

Is There Any Difference Between the Two Car Keys?

Newly manufactured cars usually come with two keys, which are identical in style and function for the owner's convenience. Car keys can be categorized into three types: 1. Mechanical Key: Losing a mechanical key is both convenient and troublesome. The convenience lies in the fact that the primary key and the spare key are completely identical. If the primary key is lost, you can simply purchase a key blank and have a new key cut to match the spare key. The trouble is that if someone finds the lost key, they can easily open the door and start the vehicle. 2. Standard Remote Key: A standard remote key consists of a remote control and a mechanical key. If one remote is lost, you only need to take the spare remote and a newly purchased remote to the 4S store to have them rematched with the car. The lost remote will then become invalid. 3. Chip Key: If a chip key is lost, you can buy a new key and take both the spare key and the new key to the 4S store for rematching. In this case, the person who finds the key can at most use the mechanical key to open the door but cannot start the engine. Of course, the most permanent solution is to replace the mechanical lock.

What is the penalty for speeding between 10% and 20% in urban areas?

Speeding between 10% and 20% in urban areas will result in a 3-point deduction. Below are the relevant regulations for speeding by ordinary vehicles: 1. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding 20% above the limit will result in a 12-point penalty. 2. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding 50% above the limit will result in a 12-point penalty. 3. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding but not reaching 20% above the limit will result in a 6-point penalty. 4. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding 20% but not reaching 50% above the limit will result in a 6-point penalty. 5. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding but not reaching 20% above the limit will result in a 3-point penalty.

What is the difference between transferring and not transferring ownership when buying a car?

In essence, the difference between transferring and not transferring ownership of a vehicle lies in whether the vehicle is registered under your name. Only when the ownership is transferred to you do you become the true owner, and the vehicle genuinely belongs to you. If the ownership is not transferred, the vehicle still legally belongs to someone else. Below is additional information on the transfer process: 1. Used cars: When purchasing a used car, transferring ownership is a mandatory procedure. Moreover, unless you have a trustworthy individual or agency acting on your behalf, you must personally handle the transfer to avoid any mishaps in the process. 2. Documentation: Ensure the purchased vehicle has no outstanding violations. Bring the vehicle's five essential documents: the vehicle registration certificate, title certificate, insurance policy, road tax receipt, and purchase tax receipt (originals), along with the new owner's ID and a copy of the previous owner's ID. Follow the instructions at the relevant office to complete the process. 3. Insurance: Not transferring ownership significantly impacts the insurance process for the vehicle owner. According to insurance regulations, if the insured vehicle is sold, transferred, gifted, or its purpose is altered, the policyholder must notify the insurance company in writing and apply for policy adjustments. Once the insured vehicle is transferred, the original policy becomes invalid.

What is Level 4 Autonomous Driving?

L4 autonomous driving belongs to "highly autonomous driving." Except for certain special circumstances, human intervention is generally not required. Autonomous vehicles that rely on specialized maps for operation fall under Level 4 autonomous driving. As long as there is a map, these vehicles can achieve full autonomous driving without human intervention, but they cannot drive autonomously everywhere. Below is an introduction to autonomous driving levels: 1. Level 0: No automation. The driver must always be in control of all mechanical and physical functions of the vehicle, with only alarms as assistance. 2. Level 1: The driver operates the vehicle, but individual devices can sometimes assist, such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which can help with driving safety. 3. Level 2: The driver primarily controls the vehicle, but the system offers partial automation to significantly reduce the operational burden. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) combines automatic following and lane departure warnings, while Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) integrates blind-spot detection and partial collision avoidance system technologies. 4. Level 3: The driver must always be ready to take control of the vehicle. During autonomous driving assistance, such as when following another vehicle, the driver can temporarily be free from operation. However, when the vehicle detects a situation requiring the driver's intervention, it will immediately return control to the driver, who must take over in cases the system cannot handle.

Will the Engine Stall When Braking in Neutral Gear?

Manual transmission vehicles will not stall when only applying the brake in neutral gear. Below is relevant information about stalling: 1. Causes of stalling: Automatic transmission models: Automatic transmission vehicles rarely experience stalling, whereas manual transmission vehicles may frequently stall due to insufficient driving skills. However, it's not impossible for automatic transmission vehicles to stall, with the main reason being the use of inferior fuel leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling. 2. Precautions: For automatic transmission vehicles stalling, it's primarily caused by using inferior fuel. One should refuel with higher-grade gasoline at reputable, larger gas stations, such as using 97-octane gasoline. Although more expensive, it ensures longer vehicle lifespan and better driving performance.

What Does Each Gear in an Automatic Transmission Car Mean?

Automatic transmission cars typically have 6-7 gears, which are D, P, R, N, S, L, while the M gear is unique to manual-automatic transmission models and is not available in every automatic car. The functions corresponding to each gear are D-Drive (forward gear), P-Park (parking gear), R-Reverse (reverse gear), N-Neutral (neutral gear), S-Sport (sport mode), L-Low (low gear), and M-Manual (manual mode). D-Drive (Drive) is the most commonly used gear, where gear shifting is controlled by the accelerator. D1 (or L gear), D2, and D3 are equivalent to gears 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6 in a manual transmission. L-Low (Low) is used when descending a slope to reduce brake usage, and when ascending a slope to provide more power for climbing. R-Reverse (Reverse) can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary. Some models with a lock button require pressing the button to switch to this gear. N-Neutral (Neutral) is used for temporary stops, such as at traffic lights, and the handbrake should be engaged. It should not be used when descending a slope. S-Sport (Sport) differs from D only in that the computer switches to a different shifting program, so S can be engaged at any time without damaging the transmission. It is suitable for overtaking but not for high-speed driving. M-Manual (Manual) is unique to manual-automatic transmission models, allowing the driver to enjoy manual shifting. The "+" sign indicates upshifting, while the "-" sign indicates downshifting. P-Park (Parking) is sometimes separated as an electronic brake in some models, though the principle remains the same.
