ETC cannot be used when changing vehicles: ETC is dedicated to a specific vehicle. If both the vehicle and license plate are changed, the owner should first go to the bank to unbind the original ETC-linked bank card. If the new vehicle needs to use ETC, a new ETC pass card must be applied for. When passing through the highway, if the license plate number does not match the information in the card or the tag, passage will not be allowed, and the card will be added to the issuing bank's ETC blacklist. The owner must bring their original ID card and vehicle registration certificate to the issuing bank's ETC service point to remove the blacklist. If the vehicle is changed but the license plate remains the same, simply take the ETC device to the service point to update the license plate number, engine number, and other information, then reinstall it. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for ETC, the owner must provide their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate (original and photocopy). If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy'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 toll fees is also required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Avoid affecting charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or where the solar panel might be blocked. Do not remove it randomly after installation: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once installed, the windshield presses the lever in. If removed, the lever will pop out, triggering the switch and locking the electronic tag, rendering it unusable. Unlocking requires visiting an ETC service point. This mechanism prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle ahead due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds of up to 20 km/h; exceeding this speed may result in failed transactions. If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause transaction failure.

What is the function of the transmission interlock device?

1. The function of the transmission interlock device: To prevent the occurrence of automatic gear shifting or gear disengagement during vehicle movement, where gear disengagement refers to the gear shifting back to neutral. 2. Automotive transmission: It is a set of speed-changing devices used to coordinate the engine speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels, aiming to achieve the optimal performance of the engine. 3. Working principle: The self-locking device consists of a self-locking steel ball and a self-locking spring. The upper surface of each shift fork shaft has three grooves distributed along the axial direction. When any shift fork shaft, together with the shift fork, moves axially to the neutral position or a working position, one of the grooves will align with the self-locking steel ball. Under the pressure of the spring, the steel ball embeds into the groove, fixing the axial position of the shift fork shaft. Consequently, the shift fork, along with the sliding gear (or engaging sleeve), is also fixed and cannot disengage on its own.

Where is the location to add windshield washer fluid in a Toyota Corolla?

Toyota Corolla windshield washer fluid location: Open the engine hood, on the right front side of the engine compartment there is a windshield washer fluid reservoir. The reservoir cap has a windshield wiper symbol (usually colored). Windshield washer fluid is commonly known as automotive windshield cleaning fluid, which is a type of vehicle consumable. It mainly consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors and various surfactants. When driving, if you feel the front windshield's visibility is insufficient, using windshield washer fluid will restore clear vision. If the washer fluid runs out, the fluid won't spray when using the wipers, requiring immediate refill. Note that tap water cannot substitute windshield washer fluid as it lacks the cleaning power of proper washer fluid. Regularly check the washer fluid level and replenish when needed. The Toyota Corolla's body dimensions are 4620mm (length) × 1775mm (width) × 1480mm (height) with a 2700mm wheelbase.
