It cannot be used normally after being removed and reinstalled. During installation, there is a button at the back of the device that connects to the windshield. Data is only saved when this button is pressed. When the device is removed for the second time, the button pops out, triggering the reset mechanism and clearing all data. As a result, the device becomes unusable, and a reinstallation is required. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for ETC, the following documents are required: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID and driving license. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID 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 also needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. For company vehicles, the required documents include: an introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal), a photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal), the original ID of the proxy, the original vehicle driving license, and the vehicle that needs ETC. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. The computer network technology then settles the payment with the bank, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoids the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What is the speed limit for small cars on highways?

Highway speed limit for small cars is 120 kilometers per hour. When driving normally on highways, the minimum speed for motor vehicles should not be lower than 60 km/h. Small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 km/h at maximum speed, while large buses and trucks must not exceed 90 km/h, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h and are prohibited from carrying passengers. When the speed displayed on traffic signs or road signs differs from the above regulations, the signs or markings should be followed. Highways are multi-lane roads exclusively designed for directional and lane-separated vehicle traffic with full access control. The annual average daily traffic volume for highway design should exceed 15,000 passenger car equivalents, with a design speed ranging from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.

What is the difference between a shock absorber assembly and a shock absorber?

The differences between a shock absorber assembly and a shock absorber are as follows: 1. Different composition: The shock absorber is only a part of the shock absorber assembly; the shock absorber assembly consists of a shock absorber, lower spring seat, dust cover, spring, shock absorber pad, upper spring seat, spring seat, bearing, top rubber, and nut. 2. Different replacement difficulty: Replacing an independent shock absorber is difficult, requiring professional equipment and technicians, and has a high risk factor; replacing the shock absorber assembly only requires loosening a few screws, making it easy to accomplish. 3. Price difference: The price of replacing individual components of the shock absorber kit is expensive; while the shock absorber assembly includes all components of the shock absorption system, making it cheaper compared to replacing all components of the shock absorber. 4. Different functions: A single shock absorber only has the function of shock absorption; while the shock absorber assembly also serves as a suspension strut in the suspension system.

How to Know if Anti-Skid is Turned On?

Here is an introduction about the activation status of anti-skid: 1. When stuck on unpaved roads or off-roading: When trapped in mud, sand, or snow, or when off-roading in harsh environments, if the drive wheels slip, the ESP will intervene to control power output, which is not conducive to escaping the situation and reduces the vehicle's ability to pass through difficult terrain. In such cases, you can manually turn off the ESP to improve the vehicle's passability. 2. When driving on icy or snowy roads: In cold regions where roads are covered with snow or ice, the traction of the vehicle's tires is significantly reduced. When going uphill or starting, the wheels are prone to slipping. In this scenario, the ESP will limit the engine's power output, which is not conducive to driving. You can try turning off the ESP before proceeding.
