Can a Mortgaged Vehicle Apply for ETC?

1 Answers

Mortgaged vehicles can also apply for ETC. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the vehicle owner needs to provide the original valid ID card, the original and a copy of the vehicle license, and the page of the vehicle license with the most recent annual inspection stamp. If applying on behalf of someone else, the agent's original valid ID card is also required. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit card 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 portion of the amount as a security deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. ETC Deduction Principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used to settle accounts with the bank in the background. This achieves the goal of vehicles not needing to stop at toll stations to pay tolls, all based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Save Time: Eliminates the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and Eco-friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Save on Wear and Tear: Reduces costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on tolls; Improve 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." It also explicitly set the goal in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development to "achieve a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." 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 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 Notes: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a stopped vehicle ahead, to prevent the vehicle ahead from having a faulty ETC device or no ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatically sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading 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 highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. 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. If the vehicle's windshield is too thick, it may cause poor sensing. Special attention is needed for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

What are the solutions for high fuel consumption in Peugeot 508?

You can reduce fuel consumption by cleaning engine carbon deposits, checking the oxygen sensor, regularly replacing the three filters, and inspecting the electronic control unit. The combined fuel consumption of the Peugeot 508 is 6.0-6.1L/100km. There are currently 5 models of the Peugeot 508 on sale: the Pioneer Edition and the Drive Fun Edition, with a combined fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The Sport Edition, Passion Edition, and Drive Control Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-8.8L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon deposits are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates that there is a considerable amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits inside the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas while driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in vehicles that have been used for a long time, various faults may inevitably occur.

What does 1.6T mean in cars?

1.6T in cars indicates that the engine has a displacement of 1.6 liters, and the T signifies that the vehicle's engine is equipped with a turbocharger, making it a turbocharged engine. The space volume through which the piston moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is referred to as the engine displacement, typically measured in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, more representative of engine size than bore and cylinder count, and many engine metrics are closely related to displacement. Generally, micro cars have a displacement of ≤1.0L, compact cars range between 1.0-1.6L, mid-size cars between 1.6-2.5L, executive cars between 2.5-4.0L, and luxury cars have displacements exceeding 4.0L. Turbocharged engines increase the intake air volume through a turbocharger, thereby enhancing the engine's output power and torque. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or more. The biggest advantage is that it can significantly boost the engine's power and torque without increasing the engine displacement. Turbocharged engines are not only more fuel-efficient but also reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulates.

Is it allowed to modify the appearance of the exhaust pipe?

No, it is not allowed to modify the appearance of the exhaust pipe, as this constitutes illegal modification and will result in failure to pass the annual inspection. Requirements for vehicle annual inspection: Do not make large-scale alterations to the vehicle's appearance. Do not illegally modify the vehicle, ensure all window glass is intact and free of reflective sunshade film, ensure all lights and instruments are complete and functional, ensure the braking performance is good, ensure the vehicle is equipped with a fire extinguisher and reflective warning triangle, and maintain consistent tire tread patterns. Any changes to the vehicle's appearance must be reported to the traffic police department and the vehicle management office of the public security bureau. Modified vehicles must obtain a new vehicle license. Reasons why modifying the exhaust pipe appearance is not allowed: Modifications such as altering the intake and exhaust systems, widening the body, lowering the chassis, changing brake components, or blindly upgrading high-beam headlights, which change the vehicle's technical parameters, are illegal and will not pass the annual inspection according to regulations. No individual or organization is permitted to engage in the following activities: assembling a motor vehicle or altering its registered structure, construction, or features without authorization; changing the motor vehicle model, engine number, chassis number, or vehicle identification number; forging, altering, or using forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection compliance marks, or insurance marks; or using another motor vehicle's registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection compliance marks, or insurance marks.

What does 'beihu' mean in the context of used cars?

'Beihu' in used cars refers to vehicles that cannot be transferred to a new owner. A beihu car is completely normal in all aspects, with all possible documentation complete, annual inspections and insurance up to date, but it simply cannot be transferred. Below is an introduction to beihu cars: Reasons why vehicle ownership is not transferred after a transaction: The license plate's registered location is too far away, making the transfer process too costly; vehicles used as debt repayment; possible cases where the owner has passed away and the vehicle has not been deregistered; transfer of both the license plate and the vehicle in areas with purchase restrictions; out-of-town vehicles that cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions; commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use being sold cheaply as beihu cars. Impact of beihu: The beihu has the right to sell the vehicle or report it as lost, which could turn the vehicle into an unregistered one, and traffic police can legally impound it. Moreover, in the event of a traffic accident, the perpetrator is primarily held responsible. If the perpetrator flees, the vehicle owner must compensate first, so being a beihu also carries significant risks. Models of beihu cars: There are two models of beihu cars. The first model is individual beihu, where the original vehicle is registered under an individual's name. The second model is corporate beihu, where the original vehicle is registered under a company's name.

What is the plastic panel under the car's front windshield called?

The plastic panel under the car's front windshield is called the windshield lower trim panel or the windshield rain tray. Its main function is to drain the water wiped by the wipers through the drainage holes at the bottom to the underside of the car, preventing accumulation. The windshield rain tray is mainly made of rubber and plastic. Over time, exposure to sunlight and rain can cause it to age, leading to gaps between the rain tray and the windshield, as well as clogged drainage holes, resulting in water accumulation. Accumulated water can leak into the engine compartment and transmission area, causing water ingress or rust in related components, which may affect the normal operation of the vehicle. In severe cases, water may even flow into the car through the air conditioning intake, causing floor flooding. Therefore, during daily use, it is important to avoid exposing the rain tray to direct sunlight and to promptly clean any debris accumulated in the gaps to maintain cleanliness. If the drainage holes of the rain tray become clogged, the owner can use a wire or other hard object to unclog them. Special care should be taken when cleaning the drainage holes hidden under the rubber sealing strips to avoid damaging the seals. Alternatively, a syringe and catheter injection method can be used for cleaning. Fill the syringe with clean water, insert the catheter into the drainage hole, and quickly inject the water into the hose. Repeat this process several times to complete the cleaning.

What is the tire size of a Toyota Corolla?

Toyota Corolla's tire size model is 195/60R15. In 195/60R15, the first number 195 represents the tire width of 195MM, 60 indicates the tire's aspect ratio is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, and 15 stands for the rim diameter of 15 inches. The middle letter R signifies a radial tire. Toyota Corolla uses Bridgestone tires, and the spare tire specification is full-size. If you want to replace the tire yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle 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, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance, when loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off, repeat this step for all lug nuts, completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, tighten the nuts by hand until all nuts are concealed, at this point the tire replacement is completed. Besides the model, the tire also has the following common data marked: Tire cord material: indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed rating of the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire. For practical use, such as: standard rim 5.00F.
