Only one ETC can be applied for a vehicle. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the application of ETC is related to the vehicle's driving license. If you own multiple vehicles, you can use different driving licenses to apply for ETC. Documents required for ETC application: The original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and copy of the vehicle's driving license (the page with the latest annual inspection stamp must be provided). If applying on behalf of others, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a corresponding bank debit card or credit card must be prepared. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a certain amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. ETC deduction principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and using computer networking technology for background settlement with the bank, the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: Eliminates the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduce wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improve efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically realized, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a clear target in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate of road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate of passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with the development directions of smart transportation such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to deduction failure. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, ETC electronic tag falling off or loosening, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was applied for or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or falling off is not man-made, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. Excessive thickness of the car windshield may cause poor sensing. Especially for vehicles that have had accidents and replaced the windshield, or friends who have modified the front windshield need to pay attention.

Does Rain Affect the Car After a Full-Body Color Change Wrap?

Rain does not affect the car after a full-body color change wrap. Since the wrap is typically applied to the interior side of the car, as long as the windows are not opened during rain, there will be no impact on the vehicle. A full-body color change wrap involves covering the entire car or specific parts with a colorful and diverse film to alter its appearance. The wrap is primarily attached to the car's surface using polymer materials and is easy to remove. You can also wash the car after a full-body color change wrap, but it's best to wait at least a week to ensure no impact on the wrap, as all wraps have waterproof functionality. However, avoid washing or wetting the wrap immediately after application. Manual washing is recommended, as this method won't compromise the wrap's effectiveness. Generally, it's advisable to apply the wrap on rainy days or overcast days when there is less dust in the air and no direct sunlight, allowing the wrap to adhere better to the car's surface. However, before changing the car's color, you must report it to the vehicle management office to avoid unauthorized modifications. The wrap does not dry immediately after application, so it's best to avoid washing the car or rolling the windows up and down for at least a week to prevent issues like bubbling or poor adhesion. Proper maintenance is crucial after applying the car wrap.

What is the difference between OEM and brand parts?

OEM parts are produced by the same suppliers that provide components for the vehicle manufacturer's assembly line. Since a vehicle consists of numerous parts, most components are sourced from external suppliers and then assembled and calibrated by the automaker. For example, if the headlights on the original vehicle were supplied by Factory A, the replacement headlights for repairs will also be manufactured and provided by Factory A, then distributed to authorized 4S stores, hence referred to as OEM parts. Both the original factory-installed parts and later replacement parts come from the same manufacturer, using the same equipment and technology. The characteristics of OEM parts are reliable quality, identical size and functionality to the original vehicle parts, ensuring high compatibility, though they come at a higher price. Brand parts are produced by large automotive component companies specializing in aftermarket parts. These companies possess advanced equipment and strong technical capabilities, manufacturing high-quality components. However, since they don't supply directly to vehicle manufacturers, these products cannot be called OEM parts but are instead referred to as brand parts. Brand parts are known for their good quality, moderate pricing, and high cost-performance ratio. OEM parts: These are the actual components installed on vehicles by the manufacturer. Some parts aren't directly produced by the automaker, so they may bear two logos: the vehicle brand's logo and the manufacturer's brand logo. The quality of these parts is completely equivalent to the original factory-installed components, representing the highest quality in the aftermarket, though they are also the most expensive. Apart from large repair shops or authorized 4S stores, few places offer OEM parts as an option. Brand parts: As mentioned earlier, many OEM parts are manufactured by third-party brands. These brands also release their own parts, which may not be inferior in quality to OEM parts. The main difference often lies in the absence of the vehicle brand's logo. Their prices are relatively lower than OEM parts, typically around 80% of OEM pricing. Some premium aftermarket brands even develop upgraded parts for specific models that outperform OEM parts in quality and performance, naturally commanding higher prices.

How to Prevent Rolling Back on a Hill Start?

Methods to prevent rolling back on a hill start are as follows: 1. Always apply throttle during a hill start: On a slope, if you don't apply throttle, the idle speed might be insufficient to move the vehicle, leading to stalling. If the car starts rolling back, you must first press the brake and clutch to stop the vehicle, then restart. Any attempts to correct the situation during rolling are generally ineffective. 2. Release the clutch slowly: When releasing the clutch, do it gradually without rushing. During a hill start, slowly release the clutch pedal with your left foot until the vehicle begins to vibrate. Hold this position briefly to confirm if the car has the tendency and power to move forward. Do not lift the clutch pedal further to avoid stalling. Once the car moves forward, release the handbrake completely with your right hand and gently apply throttle. Don't lift the clutch too high; doing so without releasing the handbrake can also cause stalling. A slight lift of the car's front is sufficient. With throttle applied, even if the clutch isn't fully engaged, releasing the handbrake won't cause rolling, as the car will resist movement. In this scenario, don't panic if the car doesn't move immediately, thinking the clutch isn't engaged enough. If the car isn't rolling, it means the clutch is already semi-engaged. Just slightly lift the clutch a bit more while applying throttle. Ideally, if you can control the clutch engagement point perfectly (the car's front lifts noticeably without stalling vibrations), you can release the handbrake and move forward smoothly. 3. Avoid prolonged semi-clutch engagement: During acceleration in the starting process, avoid keeping the clutch semi-engaged for too long while applying throttle. Once the throttle moves the car, it won't roll back, so you can confidently release the clutch pedal and accelerate. 4. Throttle-clutch coordination: Operate in the sequence of throttle first, then clutch. The throttle has no travel, while the clutch does. Travel refers to the process from initiating an action to its effect. When braking, brake first, then clutch. Pressing the clutch first during a test is considered coasting in neutral. Continuous braking to a certain extent will cause the car to vibrate, indicating that the engine can no longer drive the gears due to braking resistance. At this point, press the clutch to cut off engine power transmission and prevent stalling.
