ETC license plate number change method: The vehicle owner must bring their ID card and a copy, vehicle registration certificate and a copy, the ETC device, and the bank card used to bind the ETC to the bank for processing. After verifying the documents, the bank staff will cancel the ETC binding to the original license plate information and rebind it to the new license plate number. The bank staff will install the ETC in the vehicle and activate it on-site for normal use. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on the top of the electronic tag directly to enable Bluetooth. Turn on the phone’s Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually a QR code for download is provided on the electronic tag). Enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle’s front to complete activation.

Where is the best place to install ETC?

The ETC installation position is generally on the upper middle part of the front windshield horizontally, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be at a height not less than 1.2 meters and not higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with built-in or later-installed explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, it should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If it's not the owner who is applying, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed, and the vehicle must be under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter of the vehicle owner (with official seal); Photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original driving license of the vehicle; Vehicles that need to apply for ETC. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the view, it's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which results in a smaller driver's field of vision. If this is not considered when installing ETC, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it behind the right side of the rearview mirror inside the car to avoid blocking the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced because there is a solar panel on its back that can charge itself. Therefore, when installing, avoid the black areas on the windshield and do not place it in a position where the solar panel is easily blocked.

Why is there a gasoline smell inside the car?

Reasons for gasoline smell inside the car: 1. Aging rubber pipes of the gasoline purification carbon canister (needs replacement) In older cars, rubber components in the engine compartment are prone to aging. The rubber pipes connecting the carbon canister to the throttle body may leak into the engine compartment if they age and need timely replacement. 2. Leakage at gasoline pipe joints (needs tightening/repair) If there's a leak in the gasoline pipe, the smell may enter the car through the air conditioning system. Leaks usually occur at pipe joints and can be visually inspected by opening the engine compartment hood. Over time, a layer of oily residue will appear on the surface if there's a leak. Tightening or repair is necessary. 3. Poor sealing after disassembling the fuel pump (needs repair) Some car owners might replace or disassemble the fuel pump, and the gasoline smell could be due to residual substances not being cleaned properly afterward. It's best to have a repair shop check if the fuel pump is installed correctly. Generally, disassembling the fuel pump is only necessary when replacing it or addressing related malfunctions. 4. Overfilling the fuel tank Overfilling the fuel tank can easily cause a gasoline smell inside the car. If gasoline enters the pipes of the activated carbon canister system, these liquid fuels not only harm the carbon canister itself but can also flow into the intake manifold, causing the spark plugs to "flood," leading to serious consequences like the car stalling after refueling or failing to start.

What does FAW-Volkswagen SPIN mean?

Volkswagen SPIN refers to an uncontrolled skid that occurs when the exit speed is too high or the tire grip is insufficient. Causes of vehicle skidding: Low road adhesion coefficient: Slippery roads, oil stains, or ice reduce the adhesion coefficient, and asymmetry between left and right sides, along with reduced wheel load and road adhesion, can cause wheel skidding with slight lateral force. Resistance imbalance: Uneven resistance on all four wheels during braking, such as unequal braking force on left and right wheels, varying adhesion coefficients, or a load center of gravity biased to one side, can lead to deviation and easily cause wheel skidding. Improper braking: Actions like sudden or excessive braking can cause wheel lock-up and skidding, with the rear wheels usually locking up before the front wheels, also easily leading to skidding. Prevention and response methods for vehicle skidding: Pre-drive inspection: Check the vehicle's condition before driving to prevent potential issues, especially focusing on the braking system, tires, and other critical factors to avoid malfunctions. Maintain driving distance: Most drivers understand the importance of this, mainly to provide enough space to react in case of emergencies, such as deceleration or braking. Control speed: Maintain a controlled speed while driving, avoiding excessive speed, especially on special road sections like rain, snow, or muddy conditions. Drive at a steady speed to ensure the vehicle remains stable, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration, which can easily cause skidding on roads with relatively low adhesion.
