MOE on tires means run-flat. MOE is the abbreviation for Mercedes-Original-Extended, which refers to Mercedes-Benz factory-certified run-flat tires, also known as "run-flat tires." These tires can support the vehicle with their rigid sidewalls in the event of a sudden pressure drop, allowing the car to continue driving at a speed of 80 km/h for up to 80 kilometers, ensuring the vehicle reaches a safe area. Additional information: Notes on using run-flat tires: 1. Original equipment run-flat tires: These are matched to the vehicle and have higher requirements for the suspension. They are specially tuned to adapt to the higher hardness characteristics of run-flat tires. 2. Self-supporting tires: These have harder and more robust rubber to bear the vehicle's weight at lower tire pressures. 3. Auxiliary-supported tires: These use more resilient rubber and are connected to a special rim with a steel support ring that mounts to the wheel and can support the vehicle's weight.

I've been driving for over 20 years and know tires inside out. You asked about 'tire moe' possibly meaning run-flat - that's likely a typo, the standard terms are 'RFT' or 'run-flat tire'. These specially designed tires have reinforced sidewalls that let you drive dozens of miles after a puncture to reach a repair shop, eliminating spare tire hassle while improving safety. Brands like Michelin call them ZP, Pirelli uses RFT - they cost about 30% more than regular tires with slightly louder road noise, but offer crucial emergency capability. My advice: check sidewall markings when buying to verify genuine run-flat status, don't just trust sales pitches. Maintain proper inflation pressure through regular checks to avoid late detection of air leaks.

Where to Print ETC Invoice?

If you want to obtain an ETC invoice, you need to visit the bank branch where the automatic deduction for your vehicle's ETC usage is processed to print the invoice. If you prefer not to waste time going to the bank branch, you can opt for an instant invoice. To receive the invoice immediately, you must choose the manual toll lane when exiting the highway. While this method allows for prompt receipt of the invoice, it is significantly slower compared to using the automatic toll collection lanes. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and On-Board Unit (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display 'Invalid, please insert card,' indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the designated installation spot. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of ETC installation: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Cost-effective: Reduces expenses by minimizing frequent starts and stops, thereby lowering wear and tear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Enhanced efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can improve vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more advanced, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment systems, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

How to Drive Safely on Highways?

Safe driving on highways requires conducting pre-drive inspections, maintaining sufficient safety distance while driving, braking to reduce speed, not occupying emergency lanes, and avoiding fatigued driving. Detailed explanations are as follows: Conduct pre-drive inspections: This includes checking tire pressure, brakes, etc., to prevent malfunctions during high-speed driving. Maintain sufficient safety distance while driving: This is to prevent sudden braking by the vehicle ahead. Keep enough distance from large trucks, as highways have many of them. Following large trucks not only severely obstructs your driving visibility but also increases the risk of falling cargo.

Are Car Keys Waterproof?

Car keys are not waterproof. When a car key gets wet, do not immediately press the buttons on it, as this can easily allow moisture to penetrate the inner layers. First, dry the surface, then open the casing, remove the battery, and use highly absorbent paper towels or high-concentration alcohol to clean the internal button contact points and other areas. Use a hair dryer on the cool setting to dry the key; avoid using hot air, as the internal circuit board should not be exposed to excessive heat. Precautions for using car keys: Do not place car keys near mobile phones, as the magnetic interference from the phone may prevent the car key from functioning properly. Prolonged exposure to the phone's frequency can cause the key to malfunction. Avoid exposing car keys to high-temperature or humid environments for extended periods, and do not leave them in direct sunlight. Do not use the key continuously for long periods. Otherwise, the battery will drain, affecting its lifespan. If the key is not used for an extended period, remove the battery from the remote key and store it properly. If a vehicle's remote key is lost, the central locking system must be replaced, and two new car keys must be obtained. This is the only way to ensure the vehicle's safety and prevent criminals from finding the lost key and causing damage to the vehicle.

How to Quickly Eliminate Cigarette Smell in the Car?

Methods to quickly remove cigarette smell from the car are as follows: Only open the driver's side window: Do not open it too wide; a gap about two fingers wide is sufficient. At the same time, try to keep the cigarette close to the front side of the window and exhale smoke outside as much as possible. This prevents convection inside the car, as the outside wind will first enter the car from the rear part of the front window and then flow out from the front side of the window. Additionally, during smoking, the air conditioning or heating must be turned off, as the airflow from the AC can disrupt the air circulation inside the car, causing the smoke smell to spread throughout the interior. Open the sunroof: With all four windows closed, opening the sunroof in the tilt mode can also help quickly expel the cigarette smell.
