Methods to check if ETC is functioning normally: Manually insert and remove the card; if there is a sound, it indicates that the ETC is in normal working condition. How ETC works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, computer networking technology is used to perform background settlement processing with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the toll. Where ETC can be installed: For small vehicles such as cars and vans, the OBU device is installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. ETC installation position requirements: The height should not be less than 1.2 meters or more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).

How to Rev the Engine in a Sports Car?

Use the one-button start to ignite the engine, then keep the car stationary or move forward slowly. Low-speed revving, also known as 'street bombing,' typically occurs when a sports car aggressively revs the engine or accelerates sharply during driving, producing loud engine noises. Establish a familiar time gap between pressing and releasing the throttle. Use this interval to practice fuel supplementation and the depth of throttle pressing during revving. Divide the throttle depth into six segments to establish a fixed time as a benchmark for training the depth of throttle pressing.

How to Turn On the Rear Wiper of a GL8?

Pull the wiper control lever toward the driver to activate the front windshield cleaning function. The rear wiper control button is located on the right side. Rotate it to the corresponding position to turn on the wiper. Push the wiper control lever toward the front of the vehicle to clean the windshield. HI is the high-speed setting, and LO is the low-speed setting. These are suitable for different rainy conditions, so adjust them appropriately based on the actual driving environment. If you want to adjust the sensitivity of the rain-sensing wipers, use the knob in the center of the lever to make adjustments.

Can You Drive a Short Distance with a Flat Tire?

A flat tire should not be driven on any further. Here are the potential consequences: 1. Tread Damage: Continuing to drive on a flat tire will cause the tread to be crushed and damaged. This is mainly due to the friction between the tire and the rim, leading to rapid wear of the tire, which can result in faster tire failure. Additionally, the rubber may overheat, peel off, or even melt under continuous high temperatures, causing fatal damage to the tire's internal structure and ultimately posing a safety hazard for the vehicle. 2. Rim Damage: The rim may become damaged or deformed. With a flat tire, the rim has more direct contact with hard objects on the road, increasing the likelihood of rim damage.

What Causes the Engine to Shake When Running on Gas but Not on Oil?

Check the fuel system. If the air filter hasn't been replaced regularly, directly inspect whether the gas injector is clogged (possibly by engine oil or similar substances). The worst-case scenario would be severe valve wear. Here's some relevant information about vehicles running on gas: 1. Formation: Fossil fuels refer to petroleum or coal formed through billions of years of underground transformation of plants and animals. Natural gas is produced through petroleum cracking, representing a non-renewable energy source. 2. Considerations: The combustion products of natural gas differ from fuel ethanol. Fully combusted ethanol only produces carbon dioxide and water, and methanol is no exception. However, methanol is corrosive to metals, various alloys, and rubber products, which is why only problem-free ethanol is selected as the fuel for unleaded gasoline.

How Does an Automotive Relay Work?

Automotive relays operate by generating a magnetic field when the coil is energized, which then attracts the iron piece connected to the contact, thereby closing the circuit and protecting it. The wiring of the relay involves connecting the two wires of the coil to positive and negative terminals, with one end connected to a switch and the other wires connected to the electrical device. A relay is an electrical control device that causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity within the electrical output circuit when the input quantity changes to meet specified requirements. Relays establish an interactive relationship between the control system and the controlled system. They are commonly used in automated control circuits, functioning as automatic switches that use a small current to control the operation of a larger current.
