ETC can be applied for at bank branches, expressway service areas, and other institutions. The application requires the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A Postal Savings credit card application form is needed, as this credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. The application requires the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card is needed for deducting expressway toll fees. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply angled windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase blind spots for the driver. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic toll payment for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and failed toll deduction. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance can also lead to failed toll deductions.

Should the Car Anti-Slip Off Be Turned On?

The switch for the vehicle's anti-slip system usually does not need to be pressed because the anti-slip system is enabled by default. The function of the vehicle's anti-slip system: The car anti-slip system, also known as ESP, primarily controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle moves according to the driver's intentions. When to turn off the anti-slip system: ESP should be turned off when encountering wheel slip during uphill driving in rain or snow. This is because the wheels are prone to slipping when starting on snowy or wet roads, especially on slopes. Additionally, ESP should be turned off when anti-slip chains are installed on the tires. Anti-slip chains used for driving on snow can interfere with the data from certain sensors in the ESP system due to changes in wheel diameter, leading to inaccurate signals and affecting the normal operation of the ESP system.

Is the date of passing Subject 4 the same as the license issuance date?

Passing Subject 4 does not necessarily mean it's the license issuance date. The details are as follows: 1. Case-based safety education: After passing Subject 4, you must undergo at least 30 minutes of traffic safety and civilized driving education, including accident case studies, and participate in a license oath ceremony before the DMV issues the driver's license. 2. License collection time: Some can receive their license immediately after passing the test, while others may experience delays. It typically takes about a week, but in areas with lower efficiency, it might take around 15 days. 3. Collection methods: There are several ways to collect your license: immediate issuance after the test, mailing to you, picking it up at the driving school, or collecting it at the DMV. Getting the license right after the test is the most convenient; if not possible, choose the most convenient alternative method.

How often should the car PCV valve be replaced?

PCV valve The recommended replacement interval for the PCV valve varies between 96,000 km and 160,000 km depending on the specific vehicle model. Below are detailed explanations regarding the PCV valve: 1. Replacement Interval: Most manufacturers recommend replacing the PCV valve under normal maintenance conditions at 96,000 km; under conservative maintenance conditions, the replacement interval is 48,000 km. In any case, when inspecting the air filter, always check whether the PCV valve is clogged or stuck. 2. Working Principle of the PCV Valve: Installed between the crankcase ventilation system and the intake system, the PCV valve is controlled by vacuum to regulate the flow of oil fumes generated by the crankcase ventilation system into the intake system. The flow rate is higher when the engine is running at high speeds compared to low speeds. 3. Function of the PCV Valve: The PCV valve is a metering control valve. When engine backfire occurs, the PCV valve should cut off ventilation to prevent crankcase explosion.
