ETC cards have the risk of being stolen, so it is recommended to remove the ETC card when parking to prevent theft. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to a failed deduction. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was processed or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card to bind with ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to a failed deduction. You can follow the guidance of the on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card to pass. Poor sensing due to overly thick car windshield. Especially for vehicles that have undergone repairs or replacement of the windshield after an accident, or for those who have modified the front windshield, extra attention is needed.

What Causes the Right Car Window to Fail to Roll Up or Down?

Here are the specific reasons why the right car window fails to roll up or down: 1. Damaged window lift motor or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness: If there is a burnt smell or abnormal noise inside the door panel when holding down the window button for a long time, it is likely that the window lift motor component is damaged. In this case, the window lift motor needs to be replaced. 2. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, most window lift motors have an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window to fail to roll up or down. 3. Excessive resistance in the glass guide channel: During use, dust can accumulate in the door glass guide channel, increasing resistance. Over time, this may make it difficult for the glass to rise smoothly.

Will replacing the rear fender cause car depreciation?

Car fenders belong to the body panels, and replacing body panels will not cause significant depreciation of the vehicle. The car body is divided into the frame and the panels. Body panels include the front and rear bumpers, front fenders, hood, trunk lid, and doors. Since the roof and rear fenders are welded to the body frame, they are also considered part of the body structure. More details are as follows: 1. When buying a used car, as long as the body frame is undamaged and the engine and transmission are in good working condition, it can be purchased. If the body panels have been repaired or replaced due to an accident, the vehicle cannot be classified as an accident car. However, if the body frame has been repaired, cut, or replaced due to an accident, then the car is considered an accident vehicle. 2. When purchasing a used car, consumers need to identify vehicles with rolled-back odometers, flood-damaged cars, fire-damaged cars, and accident cars. The first step in inspecting a car is to check the vehicle's documentation to ensure it can be legally transferred.

Is the Landing Price the Naked Car Price or the Full Payment?

The landing price refers to the total cost of purchasing a car. The landing price of a car = naked car price + vehicle purchase tax + insurance fees (commercial insurance + compulsory traffic insurance) + vehicle and vessel usage tax + inspection and license plate fees. Of course, you can freely choose to either take a loan or make a full payment in the end. Calculation method for the new vehicle purchase tax: Naked car price ÷ 1.17 × 10% (the current vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%). Note: The taxable price for taxpayers purchasing vehicles for personal use does not include VAT. Precautions for paying the purchase tax: Since the purchase price on the special sales invoice for motor vehicles includes VAT, when calculating the vehicle purchase tax amount, the 17% VAT must first be excluded, i.e., the vehicle purchase tax calculation price = invoice price ÷ 1.17, and then the vehicle purchase tax is calculated at a 10% rate.

How Many Points Are Deducted for an Extra Child in a 7-Seater Car?

Carrying one extra child in a 7-seater car results in a deduction of 3 points. Below is an introduction to the hazards of driving an overloaded vehicle: 1. Damage to road infrastructure: Overloaded vehicles exert loads far exceeding the design capacity of roads and bridges, leading to pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortened service life. 2. Increased danger: Overloaded vehicles have greater mass and inertia, resulting in longer braking distances and higher risks. Severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the likelihood of accidents due to loss of steering control. 3. Impact on traffic flow: Overloaded vehicles cannot maintain normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods and directly affecting road traffic flow.

What are the reasons for a car door handle being difficult to open?

Here are the specific reasons why a car door handle may be difficult to open: 1. The central locking system is engaged: When the door cannot be opened, you can use the car key to unlock and then lock it again. Locate the central locking button on the left front door trim panel of the driver's side and press the unlock button. 2. The child lock is engaged: Most rear doors of vehicles have a child lock. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the child lock to the off position. 3. The door lock cable is malfunctioning: A malfunctioning cable directly affects the lock mechanism, making it difficult to open. 4. Deformation of the door hinge or lock post: When the door is subjected to external force, it may cause the door hinge or lock post to deform, which is another reason why the door cannot be opened. In this case, the door and hinge must be disassembled together and replaced with new hinges and lock posts to restore normal door operation.

Can a smaller spare tire be used?

A smaller spare tire can be used. It is almost an unwritten international convention to have a smaller spare tire. In Europe and America, some cars not only have smaller spare tires but some models even mark them with different colors. Smaller tires occupy less space, weigh less, and can save some gasoline in the long run when carried daily. Types of car spare tires: 1. Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the car, and it can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. 2. Non-full-size spare tire: The diameter and width of this type of spare tire are slightly smaller than the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement and must be used on non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h. 3. Run-flat tire: Also known as a safety tire (run-flat tire), commonly referred to as a "bulletproof tire," the industry directly translates it as "tire that can run without air."
