The ETC installation position for small cars is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have it installed later, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, and thus should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name for individuals aged 18 to 60. Required documents for official vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle registration certificate; Vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and do not place it where it might block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If it is removed casually, the anti-removal lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Things to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle device information and cause payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to payment failure.

How many kilometers does 80 mph run in one hour?

Car speed of 80 mph is 80 km/h. So running for one hour would be 80 kilometers. 'Mph' is a foreign unit that has been colloquialized in China. Introduction to 'Mph': 'Mph' is a British length unit, approximately equal to 0.9144 meters. Due to people's colloquial habit of omitting the 'per hour' part, it is also used as a speed unit. Car speed is calculated in metric units of kilometers. When British people say 100 mph, it equals 160 kilometers per hour, so 80 mph abroad means 50 mph. Unit conversion: 1 mph (Chinese colloquial) = 1 kilometer (/hour) 1 mph (British unit) = 0.9144 meters (meters, not kilometers) 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers Origin of car speed units: Cars originated from foreign countries. The original speed measurement unit was the mile, and speedometers in cars were also marked with miles. At that time, most people were not familiar with English. When they heard the term 'mile,' they didn't know what it meant. They only knew it referred to the car's speed. To make it easier for the general public to understand, 'mile' was transliterated as 'mph.' Thus, it became a unit for measuring car speed. In other words, 'mph' is a loanword for 'mile,' meaning mile.

Where is the cabin air filter located in an old Jetta?

Old Jetta's cabin air filter is located under the wiper guard panel beneath the right front windshield. Here's some relevant information: When driving with the AC on, vehicles draw outside air into the cabin. However, this air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. A high-quality cabin air filter can trap these particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, improve driving comfort, and protect the AC cooling system. Please note there are two types of cabin filters: one without activated carbon and another with activated carbon (confirm before purchasing). Activated carbon filters provide all the above functions plus superior odor absorption. The general replacement interval for cabin air filters is every 12,000 kilometers.

How to Shift Gears While Driving an Automatic Transmission Vehicle?

Here are the shifting methods for automatic transmission: 1. The parking gear is the P gear, and when parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted to the P position; 2. The reverse gear is the R gear; 3. The neutral gear is the N gear, which can be used during startup, when the driver remains in the car, during parking, or when towing; 4. The driving gear is the D gear. During normal driving, place the gear lever in the D position, and the car will automatically shift between forward gears; 5. When starting an automatic transmission vehicle, the gear must and can only be in the P or N position. If the gear is not in the P or N position, the vehicle will not start. Additional information on gear shifting precautions is as follows: 1. Do not shift to P gear at traffic lights. The P gear is the parking gear, and usually, the key cannot be removed or the car cannot be locked without shifting to P gear; 2. Do not coast in neutral with an automatic transmission; 3. Never shift gears before the car has come to a complete stop.

Are Antifreeze and Coolant the Same?

Coolant and antifreeze are the same, with no difference. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant. More information about the function of antifreeze is as follows: 1. Prevent freezing when the vehicle is not started, because antifreeze is in the cylinder block, and the liquid turning into a solid will expand in volume, thus freezing and cracking the cylinder block; 2. Cool the engine after the vehicle is started to prevent the engine temperature from being too high, which can cause engine damage. Extension: Long-term failure to replace antifreeze will lead to changes in the quality of the antifreeze, reducing its internal anti-rust quality, and the radiator, pipelines, etc. will be damaged. It will also affect the boiling point and freezing point parameters, affecting the antifreeze or cooling effect, causing damage to the engine. Do not wait until the antifreeze turns black to replace it. Black antifreeze proves that the antifreeze has deteriorated for a long time.
