Only one ETC can be processed for a car. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Expressways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the processing of ETC is related to the vehicle's driving license. If there are multiple vehicles under the name, different driving licenses can be used to process ETC. Documents required for ETC processing: The original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and copy of the vehicle driving license, and the page of the driving license with the latest annual inspection stamp are required. If processing on behalf of others, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If processing ETC through major bank branches, a debit card or credit card of the corresponding bank must be prepared. Some banks even only support ETC binding with credit card business, and some banks will require freezing a certain amount as a deposit when processing ETC binding with debit card business. The vehicle insurance policy for the current year; for unit processing, the ID card (or driver's license) of the handler, the unit's organization code certificate (or business license), and the official seal are required. ETC deduction principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the expressway. Through the microwave dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the computer network technology is used to settle with the bank in the background, so as to achieve the purpose of the vehicle paying the road and bridge tolls without stopping at the toll station. All this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: avoid the trouble of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: green and low-carbon, vehicles pass the toll station without stopping, which can reduce noise and exhaust emissions and reduce pollution; Save wear and tear: save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starting and braking, and reduce wear and fuel consumption; Improve efficiency: the efficiency of ETC lanes can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared with license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and has more advantages. 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 intercommunication of transportation cards in key urban agglomerations will be basically realized, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be greatly increased", and clearly stated in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development that "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 usage rate of ETC passenger vehicles, the use of ETC by trucks will also be promoted in the future, and the deep integration of the ETC system with the development direction of smart transportation such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination will be explored, providing all-round travel services for vehicle owners, which means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications. Precautions for ETC use: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, in order to prevent the ETC equipment failure of the vehicle in front or no ETC equipment at all, a distance of more than 10 meters should be kept from the vehicle in front to prevent the automatic sensing from paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed of ETC lanes is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle equipment information cannot be read, which will also lead to the failure of fee deduction. Unauthorized disassembly and movement of OBU equipment, ETC electronic label falling off or loosening, etc., will lead to the failure of the electronic label. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card is processed or the highway office for testing. Non-human loosening and falling off only need to be reactivated. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to the failure of fee deduction. You can follow the guidance of the on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or swiping card. The windshield of the car is too thick to cause poor sensing. Especially for vehicles that have been repaired and replaced the windshield after an accident, or friends who have modified the front windshield need to pay attention.

Why is 98-octane gasoline being discontinued?

98-octane gasoline has not been discontinued. Not all vehicles can use 98-octane gasoline; it is typically reserved for high-end cars, while regular vehicles can use 95 or 92-octane gasoline. Therefore, not every gas station carries 98-octane fuel, making it less common. 98-octane gasoline refers to fuel with an octane rating equivalent to a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. The advantages of 98-octane gasoline are summarized as "two highs and two lows": higher anti-knock performance and power output, along with lower harmful substances and reduced exhaust pollution. For engines with high compression ratios, high-octane gasoline is recommended. Using low-octane gasoline in such engines can lead to abnormal combustion, causing knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced performance. Compared to other gasoline grades, 98-octane gasoline offers stronger anti-knock properties and higher combustion efficiency, delivering superior power. However, due to its higher grade and price, it is often referred to as "premium gasoline" and is primarily used in luxury vehicles. Standards: The government imposes strict standards on automotive gasoline. These standards not only require a certain octane rating (commonly known as the gasoline grade) but also regulate the chemical composition of gasoline. If the olefin content is too high, incomplete combustion can occur, leading to the formation of gummy deposits in the intake manifold and valve guides. When selecting gasoline grades, factors such as engine operating conditions, altitude, and atmospheric pressure must also be considered. Engines frequently operating under high load, high torque, and low-speed conditions (e.g., towing vehicles) are prone to knocking and should use higher-octane gasoline (compared to vehicles under normal conditions). In high-altitude regions, due to lower atmospheric pressure and thinner air, the tendency for engine knocking decreases, allowing for the use of lower-octane gasoline. Experience shows that for every 100m increase in altitude, the required octane rating can be reduced by approximately 0.1 units. Note: Vehicles with fuel-injection systems generally have compression ratios above 8.0. Imported vehicles labeled as suitable for China's conditions can usually use leaded gasoline; otherwise, they are designed for unleaded gasoline. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane rating and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Recommendation: Using higher-octane gasoline in vehicles designed for lower grades will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating alters the fuel's ignition point, potentially leading to delayed combustion. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Recommendation: Using lower-octane gasoline in high-grade vehicles can cause engine knocking. Since the octane rating is significantly lower, the fuel may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke before the spark plug fires. This premature ignition creates resistance during the upward stroke, leading to unstable engine operation. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

What is the ground clearance of the T-Roc?

The ground clearance of the T-Roc is 152mm. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid underside of the vehicle. The ground clearance of a car varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded, as it is related to the vehicle's weight. The heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance becomes. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but it raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or rough surfaces, but it lowers the center of gravity, improving stability. The T-Roc measures 4318mm in length, 1819mm in width, and 1582mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.
