What does the knob on the wiper switch mean?

The knob on the wiper switch is generally used when the wiper switch is turned to the first gear. The wiper switch is usually located at the lower right of the steering wheel, with 'off' indicating that the wiper is in the closed state. Lifting it upwards once will make the wiper automatically return to its position, and the wiper will work once automatically. Pushing it down once is for intermittent operation, twice for low-speed continuous wiping, and three times for high-speed operation. Pushing it all the way up will return it to the off state. If none of these three gears provide the desired intermittent speed, you can adjust the desired intermittent speed by rotating the middle knob. The knob on the far side is the switch for the rear wiper. Turning it once is for low-speed operation, and twice is for high-speed. Lifting the entire wiper lever upwards sprays water on the front windshield, while pressing it down sprays water on the rear windshield. The toggle switch on the front of the wiper allows for fine-tuning the speed on the existing settings, which can be adjusted as needed. When operating the wiper washer, please note the following precautions: Do not use the washer when the washer reservoir is empty to avoid burning out the washer motor. Do not use the washer continuously for a long time. One or two seconds per spray is sufficient to avoid burning out the washer motor. In northern regions, before winter arrives, empty the washer reservoir and refill it with antifreeze washer fluid. In winter, do not operate the wiper or washer when the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield to avoid burning out the wiper motor. Do not operate the wiper on a dry windshield (when it's not raining). If the windshield is dirty, use the washer to lubricate it first before wiping.

Can the ETC card be removed when not in use in the car?

The ETC card can be removed, but the ETC device will not function without it. According to the "Rules for the Use of the Non-Stop Rapid Passage System," the ETC card must be inserted into the OBU device for normal operation; otherwise, user information cannot be read. If the card is removed, you can use the manual lane and have the staff swipe the card. When the ETC card is inserted into the OBU device, a prompt sound will indicate that the device is activated. Without the card, the device remains in a dormant state and cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations, so removing the card disables the ETC function. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC billing principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's windshield-mounted electronic tag and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, computer networking technology is used for backend settlement with banks. This allows vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping to pay road or bridge fees, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by avoiding stops at toll stations. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, lowering vehicle wear and fuel consumption. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key urban clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC." It also sets a target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development plan. Future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will promote ETC adoption for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC usage.
