Does the vehicle have to be under my name to apply for an ETC?

It is possible to apply for an ETC even if you are not the vehicle owner. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the following documents are required: the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (showing the most recent annual inspection stamp). If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If applying through bank branches, a debit or credit card from the respective bank is needed. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding with a debit card. ETC Charging Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Communication between the vehicle's on-board electronic tag (installed on the windshield) and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane enables automatic toll deduction via backend banking systems, eliminating the need to stop at toll booths. This operates on a "pass first, charge later" principle. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates waiting in queues. Eco-friendly: Reduces noise and emissions by avoiding idling at toll booths. Cost-saving: Minimizes wear and fuel consumption by reducing frequent stops and starts. Efficiency: ETC lanes can process vehicles 2-3 times faster than traditional methods, making them more advanced and efficient. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. Policy Support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for Modern Integrated Transportation System Development" aims for widespread ETC adoption by 2020, targeting a 50% usage rate for passenger vehicles. Future Possibilities: Beyond improving ETC convenience and adoption rates, future plans include expanding ETC use for trucks and integrating it with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication for smarter transportation solutions. ETC Usage Notes: Maintain a 10-meter distance from the vehicle ahead in ETC lanes to avoid unintended toll charges due to faulty or absent ETC devices. Keep speed below 20km/h in ETC lanes; excessive speed may cause reading failures. Tampering with or dislodging the OBU device may deactivate it. Non-deliberate issues can be resolved by reactivation at the issuing bank or highway service center. Insufficient funds in a linked debit card may cause charging failures. Follow staff guidance to use cash or cards in manual lanes. Thick or modified windshields may interfere with ETC signal reception, especially after repairs or replacements.

What color is the high-speed card retrieval button?

The high-speed card retrieval button is green. Typically, there is only one high-speed card retrieval button, and you just need to press it once. If there are buttons of two different colors, you should press the green one. If your car frequently travels on highways, you can apply for an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) device, which allows for toll payment without stopping. The following points should be noted when entering a toll station: 1. Slow down before approaching the toll booth and choose the appropriate lane for your vehicle type, such as lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, or ETC-exclusive lanes. 2. When retrieving the card, pay attention to the distance between your vehicle and the card dispenser. Adjust your position before getting close to the dispenser. When stopping to retrieve the card, remember to engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake—do not rely solely on the foot brake. 3. If the card is out of reach, you may get out of the car to retrieve it at the toll station. However, ensure the vehicle is completely stopped, and do not unfasten your seatbelt inside the car to retrieve the card.

What are the ingredients of glass oil film remover?

Glass oil film remover contains abrasive particles and oil-repellent components. Introduction to glass oil film: Glass oil film is divided into two types: external oil film and internal oil film. External oil film: refers to the stubborn layer formed by the accumulation of various environmental impurities on the outer side of the glass over time. The microscopic surface of this impurity layer is uneven, with water trapped in the gaps, so when the wiper blade passes over it, a continuous mist-like film can be seen. Internal oil film: various oily suspended particles in the air can adhere to the inner side of the glass, such as exhaust fumes, air conditioning, low-quality interior care products, smoking, and many other factors, which can accumulate over time to form an internal oil film. Function of glass oil film remover: It provides a quicker and more efficient way to handle regular dirt on the glass surface, effectively delaying the formation of external oil film and thoroughly cleaning internal oil film. It is used for daily cleaning of glass, generally after each car wash, and can be used both inside and outside the vehicle. It is usually suitable for special surfaces such as tinted glass, coated glass, and organic glass.

What is the Matching Relationship Between Car Gears and Speed?

The matching relationship between car gears and speed is as follows: Generally, 1st gear can be used for speeds from 0 to 20 km/h, 2nd gear for 20 to 30 km/h, 3rd gear for 30 to 40 km/h, 4th gear for 40 to 50 km/h, and 5th gear for speeds of 50 to 60 km/h and above. Here are some related details: 1. The speed, gear, and RPM of the car should be matched. The above-mentioned ranges are not fixed. If you need to overtake, you should downshift. For aggressive driving, wait until the engine RPM reaches the redline before shifting. For highway cruising, use the highest gear. 2. Car engines generally have an economical RPM range where the engine is more fuel-efficient. Keeping the engine RPM within this range while driving can make the car more fuel-efficient and comfortable. 3. While driving, if the RPM is too high, upshift. If the RPM is too low, downshift. 4. When overtaking, downshift to achieve higher torque. 5. During highway cruising, use the highest gear to lower the engine RPM and improve fuel economy. 6. In daily driving, road conditions can change rapidly, so it's important to adapt flexibly.

How long do I have to wait if there is no car in stock?

If there is no car in stock, it is expected to take about 7-30 days. In fact, the specific pick-up time is uncertain under normal circumstances. For example, some hot-selling or newly launched models may have a longer waiting time due to high demand and limited supply, as the manufacturer needs time to produce more. On the other hand, for less popular models or those with ample inventory at the manufacturer, the pick-up time can be much faster. Below is a detailed introduction to car 4S shops: Sales and After-sales: 4S shops can be divided into sales and after-sales sections. Sales include new car sales, used car sales, corporate client sales, beauty and accessory sales, etc. After-sales include routine maintenance, insurance claim handling, manufacturer warranty claims, car insurance sales, etc. Brand Dealers: As brand dealers, 4S shops must adhere to the requirements of the automaker, including unified store design, standardized management, consistent service standards, unified brand culture, and coordinated marketing activities. Automakers also assess the operational conditions of 4S shops, as they represent the brand's culture and values and serve as the direct channel for customers to interact with the car brand.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise from Car Door Seals on Rough Roads?

There are several possible causes for the squeaking noise from car door seals when driving on rough roads. Door-related noise: If you are unsure whether the noise is coming from the front or rear door, find a bumpy road to ensure the noise occurs at low speeds. While wearing a seatbelt and ensuring driving safety, slowly open the driver's side door and continue driving. If the noise persists, it indicates the rear door is the source. Have a passenger in the back perform the same test to confirm which door is making the noise. Seal rubber or door lock noise: Cut newspaper into 10 cm wide strips and place them between the seal and the door contact surface. Close the door tightly and drive to test. If the noise disappears, it indicates the sound is caused by friction from the seal rubber. If the noise remains, the seal rubber can be ruled out. Generally, cars within 3 years of use experience seal rubber noise. Door lock noise: Wrap a layer of black insulating tape around the door lock striker. Close the door tightly and drive. If the noise disappears, it confirms that the noise is caused by friction between the door lock hook and the striker.

The Difference Between Motorcycle ABS and CBS

The difference between motorcycle ABS and CBS is that ABS prevents wheel lock-up, while CBS shortens braking distance; ABS has better safety performance than CBS; ABS is more expensive than CBS. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a state of rolling and sliding, ensuring maximum adhesion between the wheels and the ground. CBS stands for Combined Braking System, which means the front and rear wheels of the motorcycle can be braked together. Braking both wheels simultaneously ensures maximum friction between the tires and the ground, allowing the motorcycle to achieve the shortest braking distance. The ABS braking system can prevent wheel lock-up, so vehicles equipped with ABS are less likely to skid or lose control during emergency braking, offering higher safety performance. The CBS system can also prevent loss of control to some extent, but its main function is to shorten the braking distance. Therefore, vehicles equipped with CBS have lower safety performance compared to those with ABS. Typically, vehicles equipped with ABS are high-end models and are more expensive, while those equipped with CBS are usually mid-to-low-end models and are slightly cheaper.
