ETC can be installed by yourself. The installation steps for ETC are as follows: 1. Insert the express card into the sensor. Before installation, ensure that the installation location is free of attachments or cracks. If there is a metal film on the windshield, it will block the signal, so a piece of the metal film needs to be cut off before attaching the ETC device. 2. Peel off the adhesive strip on the back and then stick it to the right side of the rearview mirror on the front windshield. 3. After installing the device, it needs to be activated. Open WeChat, enter the ETC mini-program, and follow the process to activate it. During activation, you also need to take a 45-degree angle photo of the vehicle on-site. 4. After successfully uploading the photo, you need to pair the Bluetooth. When the Bluetooth icon button lights up green or the screen shows that Bluetooth is turned on, the ETC device can be used normally.

I installed the ETC device myself a few days ago, and it really wasn't difficult. Just unpack the device packaging to find that little black box, choose a spot near the rearview mirror on the windshield, clean it with an alcohol wipe, and stick it on. The key is to avoid the metal parts of the front windshield film, otherwise the signal might drop. After securing it, turn on your phone's Bluetooth to pair, follow the prompts to take and upload photos of your vehicle license, and it'll be activated in five minutes. Not only does it save money, but it also saves time—no need to specially go to the bank and queue. However, do remember not to place it too far to the side or block the solar charging panel, or you'll have a headache when it fails to recognize on the highway. My last long-distance drive went off without a hitch—DIY installation is totally reliable!

Can halogen lights be replaced with LED lights?

Halogen lights cannot be directly replaced with LED bulbs. To switch from halogen to LED, the entire LED light assembly needs to be replaced. Simply changing the bulb is ineffective. If the original vehicle does not have a lens, it is recommended not to modify the lights. The modification will have little effect and may cause glare for the driver, impairing visibility and posing significant safety hazards. LED car lights are suitable for various automotive lighting applications, including: headlights (high beam and low beam), fog lights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, daytime running lights, pedal lighting, instrument lights, license plate lights, door lights, interior lighting, position lights, navigation, entertainment systems, backlights, and indicator lights.

What are the hazards of long-term engine oil burning?

Hazards of long-term engine oil burning: 1. It will lead to increased carbon deposits inside the engine and damage the three-way catalytic converter of the car engine. 2. It affects the fuel consumption and power output of the engine. 3. If carbon deposits are in the combustion chamber, they will also increase the compression ratio of the combustion chamber, causing engine knocking. The following are solutions for engine oil burning: 1. For old vehicles, the piston seals may have aged, leading to reduced cylinder sealing. Using higher viscosity oil can improve sealing. 2. Oil burning caused by carbon deposits, piston ring blockage, or seal aging can only be resolved by disassembly, replacement, or major repairs. 3. Overfilling oil can also cause oil burning; excess oil can be extracted using tools like a syringe.

How to Identify a Brand New Car When Purchasing One?

Methods to identify whether a car is brand new when purchasing: 1. Check if all accompanying documents are complete and intact. 2. Verify items such as the certificate of conformity, product manual, invoice, and warranty card one by one. 3. Inspect the manufacturing date on the certificate of conformity and the engine nameplate. Review the 4S store's inventory receipt to check the production date and arrival date to determine if it's a stock car. Normally, cars within three months are fine. 4. Observe the tire hairs. If the tread retains a significant amount of tire hairs, it indicates the car hasn't been driven. If there are some tire hairs on the tread but more on the sidewalls, it's still a new car. If the contact surface has no tire hairs at all, not even the roots, and the sidewalls also lack tire hairs, it suggests the car has been driven extensively. 5. Inspect the overall appearance and paint for scratches, dents, and color discrepancies. 6. Check the condition of doors, windows, engine compartment, trunk, and glass gaps. When closed, they should align evenly on the same level. Listen for any unusual noises during window operation, including the sunroof.

What is the actual measured 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Asia Lion?

According to the official data, the Asia Lion has a displacement of 2.0L and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.89 seconds. The factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, and naturally, the faster the acceleration. The Asia Lion has a maximum torque of 205 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.89 seconds. In comparison, the Verano has a torque of 250 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.7 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power transfer and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Asia Lion is equipped with a CVT (simulated 10-speed) transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Asia Lion 2.0L has a power-to-weight ratio of 124 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.89 seconds. The Verano Pro 1.5T has a power-to-weight ratio of 140 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.7 seconds.
