Toyota vehicles should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. Properly scheduling car maintenance ensures the vehicle remains in optimal working condition. Car maintenance involves regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, repairing, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. Maintenance, also referred to as servicing, is a preventive measure. Vehicle maintenance is crucial as proper upkeep helps eliminate potential issues, prevent malfunctions, slow down wear and tear, and extend the vehicle's lifespan. Toyota Motor Corporation, commonly known as Toyota (TOYOTA), was founded in 1933 and is one of the world's top ten automotive companies. Headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, and Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan, it is a Japanese automobile manufacturer affiliated with the Mitsui zaibatsu.

Does the ETC card application require the vehicle to be under one's own name?

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 Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, and the page of the registration certificate showing the most recent annual inspection stamp are required. If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also needed. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, you will also need to prepare a debit card or credit card from the corresponding bank. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a security deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. ETC Deduction Principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with the bank, the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station is achieved. All this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces vehicle start-up and braking frequency, lowering wear and fuel consumption; Efficiency improvement: Theoretically, ETC lanes can improve vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a target in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development: "by 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a stopped vehicle ahead, to prevent the vehicle ahead from having a faulty ETC device or no ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane passing recognition speed is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to deduction failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for testing. Non-human-induced loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When binding ETC with a debit card, insufficient balance will also cause deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. Excessive thickness of the car windshield can cause poor sensing. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

What are the reasons why an automatic transmission car cannot shift gears?

The reason may be that the gear is locked, or the car was not fully braked when parking, causing the gear to brake instead of the brake. Here is a detailed introduction about automatic transmission cars: 1. Overview: Automatic transmission cars generally refer to cars that use an automatic transmission (AT) to adjust the speed. When driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting operations. In simple terms, an automatic transmission car is a "foolproof car." 2. Transmission types: There are mainly two types of automatic transmissions used in cars. One is the stepped automatic transmission, and the other is the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The most commonly used in passenger cars is the mechanical continuously variable transmission.

What is the method for adjusting the height of the driver's seat in a car?

The standard adjustment of the driver's seat should be based on individual body size, as there is no uniform model or standard. Below is a detailed introduction to the method for adjusting the driver's seat in a car: 1. Seat height adjustment: There should be a distance of one to two fists between the top of the head and the roof of the car, ensuring that the horizontal line of the eyes is positioned slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. 2. Seat front and rear adjustment: Depending on the model's configuration, the adjustable angle switches may vary. After adjustment, the foot should be able to fully depress the clutch and brake pedals, and when holding the steering wheel, the arms should be slightly bent.

Can a Mortgaged Vehicle Be Sold?

Mortgaged vehicles can be sold, but during the transaction, it must be clearly disclosed to the buyer that the vehicle has been registered as mortgaged. If the loan is not repaid on time, the vehicle may be seized and auctioned by the creditor to repay the debt. In such cases, an uninformed buyer can claim compensation from the seller for the purchase amount. As long as it is done through proper channels, buying and selling a mortgaged vehicle from a legitimate source is legal. However, if the mortgaged vehicle comes from an illegitimate source, it is considered illegal. Whether it is illegal depends on the type of mortgaged vehicle. A mortgaged vehicle is essentially a loaned vehicle, which falls into two categories: one is a bank-financed vehicle, and the other is a vehicle mortgaged to an individual or company for a loan. The legality of buying and selling a mortgaged vehicle primarily depends on whether the source of the vehicle is legitimate. If the source is legitimate, then the transaction is completely legal. However, if the purchased mortgaged vehicle is a smuggled or stolen vehicle, it is illegal. In addition, the biggest issue with buying and selling mortgaged vehicles is the transfer of ownership, which is also the main cause of disputes in such transactions.
