After being repaired, a car windshield can typically continue to be used for about five years. Generally, the laminated windshield will crack rather than shatter completely when subjected to external force or stone impacts. In most cases, the cracks appear on the outer layer of the glass. Repairing the glass also requires meeting certain conditions, such as star-shaped cracks or linear cracks caused by various types of damage. Introduction to glass cracks: 1. A circular glass pit caused by a small stone hitting the windshield at high speed is referred to as a star-shaped crack. 2. A glass pit caused by a sharp stone with a smaller impact point hitting the windshield at high speed is referred to as a linear crack.

How to Remove an ETC Device?

Method for removing an ETC device: Since there's double-sided tape on the back of the device, you can use a hair dryer to heat it up, then gently pry it off with a small plastic scraper, and finally wipe it clean with a cloth. Note that self-removal will deactivate the ETC device, requiring reactivation at the issuing institution with the vehicle's registration certificate. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, an automated system that identifies vehicles, records information, and deducts fees from pre-linked IC cards or bank accounts when passing through toll stations.

How to Check the Condition of a Car Battery?

Methods to check the condition of a car battery: 1. Inspect the exterior for any deformities, bulges, leaks, cracks, burns, or oxide seepage around screw connections; 2. If the exterior appears normal, operate the UPS in battery mode with a certain load. If the discharge time is significantly shorter than normal, and the battery cannot restore normal backup time after 8 hours of charging, it indicates battery aging; 3. Use a multimeter for measurement. The car battery is a crucial component of the vehicle's electrical system. If the battery malfunctions, the immediate symptom is the inability to start the vehicle, especially in automatic transmission cars. When the battery voltage is too low to start the engine, the only solution is to jump-start the car, which can be quite troublesome.
