Yes, you need to apply for a card. You can do so at bank branches or highway service areas. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the 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 stamp. You will also need to fill out a Postal Savings credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After receiving the credit card, make two transactions with it and present the POS receipts to designated Postal Savings outlets to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the 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 stamp. A bank card for deducting highway toll fees is also required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. Here are some considerations for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or in positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This feature is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its ETC device malfunction, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and toll deduction failure. If a debit card is used to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failure.

Why does the Wuling Zhiguang occasionally fail to accelerate while driving?

Wuling Zhiguang occasionally fails to accelerate while driving due to throttle vapor lock. Here are the detailed explanations about Wuling Zhiguang: 1. Definition: Throttle vapor lock means that when the fuel pump draws fuel from the sealed fuel tank, it creates a vacuum. When the vacuum reaches a certain pressure, the phenomenon of failing to accelerate occurs. This situation is more likely to happen in hot weather and may also be caused by a clogged carbon canister. 2. Model Information: Wuling Zhiguang is the first domestic model developed independently with advanced domestic technology and the support of the Pan-Asia Technical Center.

Where is the production base of Lifan Motors located?

Lifan Motors' production base is located in Chongqing, China. Below is relevant knowledge about automobile production in China: New vehicle R&D: The research and development of new vehicles along with production preparations involve complex vehicle structures, with most automobiles being mass-produced products. If early damage or failure to meet usage requirements is discovered under complex operating conditions after production, it would cause significant losses to both users and manufacturers. Therefore, since the 1920s, accumulated experience has gradually formed standardized procedures for design finalization and production preparation before product launch. Changes in the automobile industry: A century of automotive industry history demonstrates that its development is determined by three factors: technology, social needs, and management standards. Due to mass production, automobile costs have been repeatedly reduced. In major production countries, the price of ordinary sedans has decreased from equivalent to one year's income for workers to about one-third of annual income.

Is It Serious If a Waded Vehicle's Engine Doesn't Take In Water?

It is not serious if a waded vehicle's engine doesn't take in water. Here are some precautions for driving through water: 1. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission models, you can shift into hill-climbing gear) and slowly and steadily drive through the waterlogged area while maintaining control of the steering wheel. Be aware of any potholes or gaps beneath the waterlogged road surface. 2. Do not restart the engine after stalling: If the vehicle stalls in a waterlogged area, remember not to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage due to the incompressibility of water, leading to bending or breaking of the piston connecting rod components, and in severe cases, even complete engine failure.

How to Adjust the Steering Wheel When the Car Body is Not Aligned in Subject 2?

Methods to adjust the steering wheel when the car body is not aligned in Subject 2: 1. Observe through the rearview mirror whether the middle position of the car body aligns with the middle position of the garage bottom line, keeping the left and right deviation within 10 cm. If the deviation is significant, make timely minor adjustments to the steering wheel to keep the car body in the correct position; 2. Check if the car body is parallel to the side lines on both sides of the garage. If not, steer towards the side where the distance between the rear of the car and the side line is greater; 3. If the rearview mirror is flat, the car body appearing parallel to the side lines means it is actually parallel. If the rearview mirror is convex, the rear should be slightly narrower than the front, which indicates parallelism.
