When using ETC on highways, there is no need to turn on the car's Bluetooth or mobile phone Bluetooth. The ETC junction box installed in our vehicles has a short-range communication response system inside, which automatically communicates with road sensors without requiring Bluetooth to be enabled on our cars or phones. Currently, ETC is provided by 8 domestic manufacturers. Some ETC terminals can only be installed via mobile Bluetooth during setup, but Bluetooth does not need to be turned on during actual use. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, you need a bank card for deducting highway toll fees, and the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, with the vehicle registered under their name. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle license; The vehicle that needs ETC installation. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Using computer networking technology, it settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass toll stations without stopping; Reduces wear and tear: Lowers costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improves efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

How long does it usually take to pick up a car after purchase?

You can pick up the car on the same day of purchase. Here is relevant information about car pickup: 1. License plate registration time: It takes about three days from picking up the new car to getting the license plate. Prepare a temporary license plate, and pay close attention to its expiration date. Using an expired temporary plate may result in insurance claim rejection by the insurer. Then proceed with the local license plate registration. The car owner needs to prepare: the original and a copy of the vehicle qualification certificate; the original purchase invoice (three copies in total); the owner's ID card and insurance policy. With these materials ready, you can go to the local vehicle management office for procedures such as vehicle inspection, payment of vehicle purchase tax, license plate selection, and processing the vehicle license. 2. Precautions: Check the odometer mileage. If you find the mileage of the new car is unusually high, inquire with the 4S store immediately or request a replacement; check the vehicle's manufacturing date—the closer the production date is to the pickup date, the better. The specific location of the manufacturing plate is usually on the door frame on the driver's side; perform an exterior inspection, mainly to check if there are any color differences or scratches on the new car's paint.

Is it illegal to install a front splitter on a car?

Installing a front splitter on a car is illegal. Here are the specific details about the scope of illegal car modifications: 1. Widebody modifications and installation of oversized tires: Modifications to the intake and exhaust systems can affect the overall performance of the vehicle and are detrimental to driving safety, making them prohibited areas for modifications. 2. Chassis modifications: Raising or lowering the chassis constitutes structural modifications to the vehicle. 3. Headlight modifications: These not only affect the visibility of pedestrians and other drivers but also make the vehicle fail the annual inspection. 4. Engine modifications: Such as reprogramming the engine ECU, installing a strut bar in the engine bay, adding a turbocharger, or a supercharger. While these modifications may significantly enhance performance, they greatly limit the engine's lifespan and may lead to premature engine failure.

What are the reasons why an electric vehicle cannot be charged?

If the vehicle cannot be charged, it may be due to a damaged battery, a faulty charger, or a malfunctioning controller. In such cases, you can try replacing the charger first. If the issue persists, the problem likely lies with the battery or controller. Below is more information about electric vehicle batteries: 1. Function of the battery: The battery is a crucial component in an electric vehicle, responsible for storing electrical energy. Without a functioning battery, the vehicle cannot operate normally. However, batteries are wear-prone parts, and their performance degrades over time with repeated charging and discharging cycles. Therefore, batteries require periodic replacement. 2. Function of the controller: The controller is another essential component in an electric vehicle, managing the entire electrical system. Without a controller, the vehicle cannot function properly. The controller is typically located under the rear seat and can be replaced separately. 3. Proper usage habits: When using an electric vehicle, it's important to avoid overcharging or deep discharging. After riding, do not charge the battery immediately, as the battery temperature is still high. Charging at this point can cause the temperature to rise further.

What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Audi A3?

Based on the comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.38L per 100 kilometers, the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Audi A3 is 0.0638L. Factors affecting a car's fuel consumption include engine displacement, driving habits, tire pressure, road conditions, oil quality, and mechanical faults. Engine displacement: The engine's displacement has a certain impact on the car's fuel consumption, and this effect is a fixed value. Driving habits: If the driver frequently engages in aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration or deceleration during the journey, it will affect the car's fuel consumption. A smooth start and linear acceleration are more fuel-efficient driving methods. Tire pressure: There is a direct relationship between the car's fuel consumption and tire pressure. When the tire pressure is too low or the tread is severely worn, the contact area between the tire and the road surface increases, leading to greater friction and rolling resistance, which in turn increases fuel consumption. Road conditions: When driving on poor road surfaces, the engine's load increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. Oil quality: If the oil quality is substandard or the oil is overfilled and cannot burn fully, fuel consumption will increase. Insufficient lubrication increases the engine's workload, requiring more gasoline to achieve the same output. Mechanical faults: Severe carbon buildup in the intake, exhaust, fuel system, injectors, or throttle, as well as faults in the catalytic converter, sensors, or spark plugs, can all lead to unnecessary fuel consumption and increased fuel usage.

Why Does Water Drip from the Car Exhaust Pipe?

Water dripping from the exhaust pipe is caused by the evaporation of water vapor from gasoline during combustion and condensation. Below is a related introduction about water dripping from the exhaust pipe: 1. Principle: Water dripping from the exhaust pipe occurs because the ambient temperature is relatively low. After fuel combustion, it produces water and carbon monoxide. At high temperatures, water exists as vapor, which then condenses in the exhaust pipe and muffler. 2. Phenomenon: Water dripping from the car exhaust pipe is a good sign, indicating that the fuel is being fully burned in the engine. 3. Preventing Faults: Many car models have a small hole at the lowest point of the exhaust pipe. The purpose of this hole is to drain water, as the main component of the exhaust pipe is iron. If water is not drained in time, it can cause the exhaust pipe to rust and become damaged. A damaged exhaust pipe will produce abnormal noises. To prevent this fault, the exhaust pipe is designed with a drainage hole.
