You need to wait one month after car window tinting before reinstalling the ETC. ETC working principle: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, dedicated short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This utilizes computer networking technology to perform background settlement processing with banks, achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the fees. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. Excessive speed may prevent reading vehicle device information, leading to failed fee deduction. Unauthorized removal or displacement of OBU devices, or detachment/loosening of ETC electronic tags will cause tag deactivation. These can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or highway service offices for inspection. Non-deliberate loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using debit cards bound to ETC, insufficient balance may cause fee deduction failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes with cash or card payment. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly noteworthy for vehicles that have had windshield replacements after accidents or modified front windshields.

How to Remove Spray Paint from a Car?

Methods to remove spray paint from a car: 1. Use olive oil. If you have olive oil at home, apply some to the painted area of the car and gently rub it a few times. Let it soak for a while, then wash it off with soap after a few minutes. This method helps avoid skin irritation. 2. Use floral water. If you can't find olive oil, apply floral water to the painted area, wait for a while, and then wash it off with soap. 3. Use peanut oil or salad oil. If neither of the above options is available, use peanut oil or salad oil. Rub it on the painted area, add some dish soap, and scrub. Finally, wipe it off with a cloth, and the paint will be removed.

How to Adjust the Driver's Seat Properly?

Detailed tutorial for adjusting the driver's seat is as follows: 1. Seat height adjustment: For most sedans and SUVs, there should be a gap of 1-2 fists between the top of the head and the roof (varies slightly depending on the model). Ensure that the eye level is positioned slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. 2. Seat front and rear adjustment: When adjusting, always remember the principle: the feet should be able to fully depress the clutch and brake pedals; when holding the steering wheel, the arms should be slightly bent. 3. Headrest height adjustment: The headrest height should be level with the head, or the soft middle part of the headrest should be parallel to the upper edge of the ears. The softest and most protective part of the headrest is in the middle. In the event of a severe impact, the headrest can effectively protect the head and neck.

Can You Still Drive If the Car Radiator Is Broken?

In a cold engine state, you can generally drive for about 1-3 kilometers. However, if the engine is hot, continuing to drive may damage it. The reasons for car radiator damage are as follows: 1. Not adding antifreeze in winter. When cold water freezes, it can crack because the material of the small radiator is not as good as that of the main radiator; 2. The radiator has not been cleaned or had its water changed for a long time, leading to gradual corrosion and perforation under the pressure of the water pump circulation; 3. The engine's cylinder gasket is slightly leaking, allowing gas to enter the radiator, which can cause damage to weaker areas under high pressure.

What Does It Mean When the Car Battery Light Comes On?

The battery is the only component in a vehicle that can store electrical energy. When the alternator is not working, the battery supplies all the power to the vehicle. If there is an issue with the car battery, the battery warning light will illuminate. Below are specific scenarios when the battery light comes on: 1. The first scenario commonly occurs when the vehicle is stationary. Upon turning the ignition key, you may notice the battery warning light (red) on the dashboard. This usually happens due to low battery voltage, triggering the alarm. First, check whether the battery voltage is within the standard range—typically, the battery will alert if the voltage drops below 9 volts. Measure the battery voltage to ensure it falls within the normal range, which is usually between 11.5V and 12.5V. If the voltage is too low, start the engine to recharge the battery. 2. The second scenario involves checking whether the battery terminals (positive and negative) are loose. Try shaking them by hand to see if they are loose or corroded. If corrosion is present, clean it. 3. The third point is to inspect the battery for any physical damage, such as cracks in the casing, swelling, or even leakage of battery fluid. If any of these issues are found, prompt repair is necessary. If no problems are detected, the issue might lie with the battery monitoring system, requiring inspection and repair at a 4S shop or repair facility.

Where is the mirror folding switch for the Tharu Comfort Edition?

The mirror folding switch for the Tharu Comfort Edition is located on the door armrest. Below is an introduction to the electric folding mirrors: 1. Folding the mirrors can save a significant amount of space and also prevent your beloved car from suffering 'broken ears.' 2. Mirrors with folding functionality can retract when passing through narrow sections, improving the vehicle's maneuverability. As the widest component installed on a vehicle, mirrors are most susceptible to impact in case of a side collision. To minimize scratches, mirrors need to have a folding feature. 3. When the driver leaves the car, the mirrors can also be folded. This not only protects the mirror surface but also reduces parking space, effectively avoiding scrapes.
