ETC on a car can be installed by oneself. The installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU. The red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Sign Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Where can ETC be installed: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the OBU device should be installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. ETC installation position requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters. The installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).

Will points be deducted if the front of the car touches the line when exiting a parallel parking space?

Exiting a parallel parking space with the front of the car touching the line will result in a 10-point deduction. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Parallel parking test requirements: The requirements for the parallel parking test in Subject 2 are that the driver must park the vehicle in the right-side parking space without the wheels touching the lane boundary or the parking space boundary. 2. Test scoring criteria are as follows: 1) If the vehicle stops after entering the space and the body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted. 2) If the wheels touch the lane boundary while driving, 10 points will be deducted. 3) If the vehicle is not parked within the space, 100 points will be deducted. 4) If the left turn signal is not turned on when starting, 10 points will be deducted. 5) If the vehicle stops midway, 100 points will be deducted.

Is it necessary to replace the brake steel hose?

When you notice a decrease in braking power and an increase in braking distance, it's time to consider replacing the brake steel hose. The brake steel hose consists of a rubber tube wrapped with high-strength steel wires and an outer wear-resistant layer, providing strong resistance to expansion. Here are more details: 1. Replacement considerations: The original rubber hose may slightly expand when braking, weakening the initial braking response. Replacing it with a steel hose can improve this situation. However, after installation, turn the steering to both extreme points to ensure it doesn't scrape or interfere with other components, affecting their normal operation. 2. Principle: Braking primarily relies on the pressure generated by brake fluid compression. Therefore, the brake fluid hose is crucial—it must be elastic and heat-resistant. Considering cost, most manufacturers use rubber hoses, but steel hoses actually perform better.

How to Avoid High Fuel Consumption When Switching Back from Gas to Gasoline?

To avoid high fuel consumption when switching back from gas to gasoline, cleaning the fuel injectors and replacing the spark plug wires can help. Advantages of converting from gasoline to gas: 1. Higher economic benefits: Natural gas mixes easily and uniformly with air in the engine, burns more completely and cleanly, is less prone to carbon deposits, has good anti-knock properties, and does not dilute lubricating oil. This significantly reduces wear and tear on engine cylinder components, extending the engine's lifespan and the usage period of lubricating oil. 2. Better social benefits: Compared to petroleum fuels, gas fuels have smaller energy losses during preparation, emit fewer harmful pollutants, and are more environmentally friendly. 3. Higher safety: If natural gas leaks slightly, it quickly disperses into the atmosphere. All components of the gas fuel system, especially the sealing parts, undergo strict inspections. Therefore, natural gas is relatively safe as an automotive fuel.

What Causes the Friction Noise from Hard Spots on Brake Pads?

Introduction to the causes of friction noise from hard spots on brake pads: 1. Stiffness between the brake disc and brake pads: This can be resolved by adjusting at a repair shop. The noise may also be related to hard spots on the brake pads, primarily caused by excessively hard friction material in the pads. Sanding the brake pads with coarse sandpaper can help. 2. Inspect the brake disc: Foreign objects between the disc and pads, or grooves on the disc causing localized friction, can also lead to noise, though such brake noises are usually intermittent. 3. Severe wear on brake pads or discs: These should be replaced promptly to avoid serious consequences. Brake pads should generally be replaced when their thickness falls below 2mm. 4. Activation of the ABS anti-lock braking system: During rainy or snowy weather, when braking over speed bumps, or during emergency braking, a rhythmic "clicking" sound similar to gunfire may occur, accompanied by strong vibrations in the brake pedal. This indicates the vehicle's ABS system is activated, causing the brake noise. There's no need for concern in this situation; normal driving can continue.

Is it necessary to install front fog lights?

Vehicles without front fog lights can use headlights as a substitute in foggy conditions, and there is no mandatory requirement to install front fog lights. The following is an extended introduction: 1. Relevant regulations: According to the installation regulations for external lighting and light signaling devices of automobiles and trailers (GB4785), vehicles must be equipped with rear fog lights, but there is no mandatory requirement for the installation of front fog lights. Therefore, some car manufacturers may choose to install front fog lights based on the model and specifications to save costs. 2. Purpose of fog lights: Different models have different configurations, and fog lights are very useful in foggy conditions. Fog lights are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle. Due to low visibility in foggy weather, the driver's line of sight is limited. Fog lights can increase the visibility distance, especially yellow anti-fog lights, which have strong light penetration. They can improve the visibility for the driver and other traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance.

How to Solve the Insurance Issue for Secondary Starting of Water-Damaged Vehicles?

For vehicles that have been submerged in water and started a second time, insurance companies generally refuse to compensate. Although engine water damage insurance is purchased, many water damage insurance clauses list damages caused by ignition in water as exclusions, meaning the insurance company does not assume liability for such damages. Below is related information about water entering the vehicle: 1. Hazards: If water enters the vehicle, many electronic devices inside can be submerged, leading to short circuits and damage. If water enters the engine through the intake, it can cause engine damage. The consequences of water entering the engine are very serious, ranging from major engine repairs to potential engine scrapping. 2. Precautions: During heavy rain, it is best for car owners to avoid driving and instead park their vehicles in higher areas to prevent water submersion. If a vehicle is submerged to the point where water rises above the doors and enters the interior, it indicates the vehicle has been waterlogged. If the vehicle is found to be waterlogged, one can attempt to start it. If the vehicle starts and shows no signs of malfunction, the priority should be to remove the accumulated water inside.
