Can a car only have one ETC?

A car can only have one ETC. 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 is related to the vehicle's license. If you own multiple vehicles, you can use different licenses 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 license, and the page of the license with the most recent annual inspection stamp; if applying on behalf of others, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, you also need to prepare a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. Additionally, the current year's vehicle insurance policy is needed. For corporate applications, the agent's ID card (or driver's license), the organization's code certificate (or business license), and the official seal are required. ETC deduction principles: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the expressway. Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the computer network technology is used to settle accounts with the bank, achieving the purpose of paying tolls 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: Saves time: eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Saves wear and tear: reduces costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improves efficiency: the theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased 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 urban clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased," and explicitly set the 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 ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks, explore the deep integration of the ETC system with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-road coordination, and other smart transportation development directions, 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 vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to avoid automatically sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to deduction failure. Unauthorized removal 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 issued or the expressway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not man-made, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to deduction failure. You can follow the guidance of on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and pass using cash or card. If the car windshield is too thick, it may cause poor sensing. This is especially important for vehicles that have had accidents and had their windshields replaced or for those who have modified their front windshields.

What is the working principle of an automotive air conditioning pressure switch?

Here is a detailed introduction to the working principle of an automotive air conditioning pressure switch: 1. High-pressure switch working principle: The high-pressure switch is installed in the high-pressure pipeline, usually mounted on the liquid receiver-drier, and connected in series with the compressor electromagnetic clutch circuit or the condenser fan circuit. When the system pressure is too high, the high-pressure switch activates, cutting off the clutch circuit or engaging the high-speed circuit of the cooling fan to prevent further pressure increase and avoid system damage. 2. Low-pressure switch working principle: The low-pressure switch is typically installed directly in the high-pressure pipeline with a threaded connection, connected in series with the electromagnetic clutch circuit. Its structure is similar to that of a normally open high-pressure switch. When the refrigerant pressure is normal, the moving contact closes the compressor electromagnetic clutch circuit; when the refrigerant pressure discharged by the compressor is too low, the low-pressure switch opens, cutting off the electromagnetic clutch circuit, and the compressor stops running to prevent damage. 3. Dual-pressure switch working principle: New air conditioning refrigeration systems combine the high and low-pressure switches into a single unit, known as a dual-pressure switch, mounted on the liquid receiver-drier. This reduces the number of pressure switches and interfaces, thereby minimizing the possibility of refrigerant leakage. When the high-pressure refrigerant pressure is normal (between 0.423–2.75 MPa), the metal diaphragm remains in a balanced position, and both the high-pressure contacts 14, 15 and low-pressure contacts 1, 2, 6, 7 are closed. Current flows from contacts 6, 7 to high-pressure contacts 14, 15 and then to contacts 1, 2. When the refrigerant pressure drops below 0.423 MPa, the spring pressure exceeds the refrigerant pressure, causing low-pressure contacts 1, 2 and 6, 7 to open, interrupting the current and stopping the compressor. When the pressure exceeds 2.75 MPa, the refrigerant pressure continues to push the metal diaphragm upward, moving the entire assembly to the top dead center and pushing the push pin 12 to separate the high-pressure moving contact 14 from the high-pressure stationary contact 15, cutting off the clutch circuit and stopping the compressor. When the high-pressure side pressure falls below 2.17 MPa, the metal diaphragm returns to its normal position, and the compressor resumes operation. 4. Triple-pressure switch working principle: The triple-pressure switch consists of a dual-pressure switch (high-pressure and low-pressure switches) and a medium-pressure switch, offering a more compact structure. It is installed in the high-pressure pipeline. When the pressure is too high or too low, the dual-pressure switch controls the compressor to stop. When the refrigerant pressure reaches a certain intermediate value, the medium-pressure switch controls the engagement of the condenser fan circuit.

What Do You Need to Bring for the First Maintenance of a New Car?

Items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle registration book; vehicle purchase invoice, to be taken to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Schedule an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car has been driven, with the specific time varying by vehicle, typically after driving 5,000 kilometers or 6 months. It is essential to attend the first maintenance promptly, neither in advance nor delayed. The completion of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven at standard loads and normal speeds as required by the vehicle. The timing for the first maintenance is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance: mileage and time. The first indicator to be met will serve as the standard. First maintenance tasks include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various fluid levels for normalcy, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normalcy, and examining tires for damage or bulges. Time required: Completing all tasks takes approximately 2 hours. The most crucial aspect of a new car's first maintenance is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The selection of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle User and Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models specify different oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, washing the exterior with water and scrubbing with a cloth. It's important to note that the interior of the car body should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or remove them to clean with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many holes under the rubber mats on the driver's floor. Water entering these areas will not dry out but will flow through the holes to parts like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. The best practice is to vacuum clean and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the car's antifreeze is low, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand from the beginning. Since antifreeze brands differ, their chemical properties vary significantly. Different brands use different corrosion inhibitors. Mixing them can lead to unnecessary problems. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function properly again. To prevent rust on wheel bolts and nuts, some people apply lubricant, which introduces unnecessary risks to safe driving. At high speeds, bolts and nuts can easily loosen or even fall off, leading to driving malfunctions.
