No. Newly installed ETC devices require activation before they can be used. Here are the precautions for first-time ETC usage: 1. Preload funds for debit cards: For ETC debit cards, a deposit of 200 yuan must be preloaded before use. 2. Pay attention to the ETC transaction sensing area: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When there is a vehicle stopped ahead, to avoid issues such as the front vehicle's ETC device malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to prevent automatic sensing and payment for the front vehicle. This is also one of the four situations where the ETC barrier does not lift. 3. Control speed in ETC lanes: The recognition speed in ETC lanes should be below 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, resulting in failed fee deduction.

Can the car be driven if the key is not in the vehicle but the engine is running?

If the key is not in the car but the engine is running, the car can still be driven. Here are the relevant details: 1. One-Button Start: For vehicles equipped with a one-button start feature, when the smart key leaves the car, the system will only display a message on the screen indicating that the smart key is not inside the vehicle. However, the car can still be operated until it is turned off, after which it cannot be restarted without the key. 2. Important Notes: Vehicles with one-button start usually emit an alert sound and display a message on the screen when the smart key leaves the car. Some owners may ignore this if the car is still drivable, but this is not advisable. If the vehicle is turned off at the next destination, it will not restart until the smart key is brought back to the car.

Where to Place a Power Bank in the Car?

It is unsafe to place a power bank anywhere in the car, and it is not recommended to leave a power bank unattended in the car for extended periods. Below is relevant information about placing power banks in cars: 1. Reasons: Power banks use lithium batteries, which do not have absolutely stable chemical properties. Whether due to thermal expansion and contraction, self-leakage of battery cells, or impacts and drops, there is a chance of issues arising at any time. If it must be left unattended, it is advisable to remove flammable materials from the surroundings or use a specialized explosion-proof and flame-retardant bag for lithium batteries. Mobile phones also contain lithium battery cells, and low-quality or poorly designed waterproof phones carry certain risks. 2. Power Bank Function: A power bank is a portable charger that integrates power supply and charging functions. It typically uses lithium battery cells as the energy storage unit, offering convenience and quick use, allowing it to charge digital devices like smartphones and tablets anytime, anywhere.

What cleaning agent should be used to wash cement off a car?

Acidic solutions can be used to clean cement off a car. Here are the specific methods for cleaning cement from a car: 1. Rinse with water: Before the cement hardens, you can wet and rinse it with water, then use a towel with cleaning solution to scrub. 2. Clean with acidic solutions: Acidic solutions such as common white vinegar can be used. White vinegar is an acidic liquid that can effectively dissolve cement. Pour white vinegar onto the cement attached to the car, wait a few minutes for the cement to soften, and then it will be easier to clean. Generally, multiple cleanings are required, and care should be taken during the process to avoid damaging the car paint. 3. Cement cleaning agents: Special cement cleaning agents can also be used, following the same method as with white vinegar. Small areas of cement can be cleaned by yourself, while large areas are recommended to be cleaned at a professional car wash.

What are the reasons for insufficient cooling in a car's air conditioning?

There are several reasons why a car's air conditioning may not cool sufficiently: 1. Low refrigerant level: This is a common issue, and while the air conditioning won't completely stop cooling, it will result in poor performance. However, this situation should be relatively rare. 2. Poor heat dissipation: The radiator and condenser are crucial components for heat dissipation in a vehicle. If they are too dirty, it can lead to poor heat dissipation, which not only causes the engine to overheat but also directly affects the cooling efficiency of the air conditioning. 3. Compressor malfunction: If the compressor has issues, the air conditioning won't function properly. Therefore, it's important to check if the compressor is faulty. A damaged or faulty compressor capacitor can prevent the compressor from working, resulting in both the indoor and outdoor units operating but the compressor not functioning, rendering the air conditioning ineffective and causing the compressor to overheat.
