ETC cannot be used if it falls off. To prevent the phenomenon of one ETC being used for multiple vehicles, there is a small button on the ETC installation surface. If this button pops out, the ETC will automatically become invalid. Even if it is reattached, it will not function properly. Solution for a fallen ETC: Go to the original issuing point or the provincial highway ETC service center to have it reinstalled and reactivated. ETC is the Electronic Toll Collection system, which is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It achieves the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls by using dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and then processing the transaction through computer networking technology with the bank for backend settlement.

Can a Temporary License Plate for a New Car Be Used Out of Province?

Temporary license plates are divided into two types, and only the cross-jurisdictional temporary plate can be used out of province. The following details the two types of temporary license plates: 1. Temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions (sky blue background with black characters and black borders), commonly known as urban temporary plates. Vehicles with these plates are only allowed to drive within the jurisdiction and cannot go out of province. The temporary plate is valid for 15 days; 2. Cross-administrative jurisdiction temporary plates (brown-yellow background with black characters and black borders), commonly known as national temporary plates. Only vehicles with these plates can drive out of province. The temporary plate is valid for 30 days.

What does the exclamation mark in a car mean?

When an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are five possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, brake system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a problem with the transmission or that the transmission fluid is below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, typically indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark below a horizontal line inside parentheses is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to identify the issue.

What are the reasons for difficult car starting?

There are several reasons why a car may have difficulty starting: 1. Identify the cause of the fault. For diagnosing issues like engine failure to start, the first step should be to check the battery. It's essential to determine whether the engine's failure to start is due to insufficient battery power. 2. Check the ignition timing. A slipping timing belt is the fundamental cause of no spark generation and engine failure to start. 3. Inspect the starting system. For engine starting failures, the first task is to examine the electrical circuits in the engine starting system. At its most basic level, the starting system's circuit generally includes the following essential components: the battery, the starter motor, and the cables connecting these parts.

Do automatic transmission cars have idle speed?

Automatic transmission cars do have idle speed. Here is some introduction about idle speed in automatic transmissions: 1. The idle state of an automatic transmission refers to an operating condition when the engine is running without load. When the accelerator pedal is completely released while the engine is running, the engine enters idle state. 2. When adjusting idle speed, the RPM should not fluctuate abruptly as this may cause premature wear to the engine. It's best to have it adjusted at an automotive repair facility. 3. Idle speed refers to the engine running without any load, only overcoming the frictional resistance of its internal components, without delivering any power output.

What does a wrench symbol on the car dashboard indicate?

A wrench is a maintenance indicator light, which does not signify a vehicle malfunction but rather serves as a maintenance reminder. Here are some details about the maintenance indicator light: 1. The purpose of the maintenance indicator light is to remind the driver to service the vehicle after it has been driven for a certain mileage. 2. When the maintenance indicator light comes on, the owner should take the vehicle to a 4S shop for servicing. Note that different manufacturers and models have varying maintenance intervals, so the timing of the indicator light activation should be referenced in the vehicle's user manual. 3. After the maintenance is completed, the technician will reset the maintenance light to zero using a setting procedure.

How to Distinguish Forged Wheels from Cast Wheels?

Forged wheels and cast wheels mainly differ in the following aspects: 1. Different processes: In terms of mold selection, cast wheels use sand molds, while forged wheels use copper molds; cast wheels undergo natural cooling followed by machining processes such as deburring, surface finishing, and polishing, whereas forged wheels are formed through stamping before undergoing machining. 2. Different costs: The casting process is simpler and relatively lower in cost, while forging, due to its more complex procedures, incurs higher manufacturing costs. 3. Different weights: Forged wheels require continuous stamping to form, resulting in a very dense molecular structure after shaping, which allows them to withstand higher pressure. Therefore, forged wheels are lighter in weight compared to cast wheels of the same size and strength.
