ETC device installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device. ETC installation positions: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed in the upper middle section of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle section. ETC installation requirements: height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no higher 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).

Will Stage 1 Tuning Damage an Audi S4?

Audi S4 stage 1 tuning will not damage the car, but it will have some effects, such as: 1. After ECU tuning, the car will require higher quality gasoline, and using low-quality gasoline may harm the vehicle; 2. Higher temperature requirements, as the engine will operate at overclocked frequencies after ECU tuning, and without an excellent cooling system, it may affect the engine's lifespan; 3. The dealership may refuse warranty service, as vehicles with ECU tuning can be denied warranty coverage by the dealership. Taking the Audi S4 2020 3.0TFSI as an example, the car's dimensions are 4770 mm in length, 1847 mm in width, 1404 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825 mm.

Which Way to Turn the Steering Wheel When Parking on an Uphill?

To prevent the car from rolling on a slope, when parking on the right side of an uphill, turn the steering wheel to the left when going uphill and to the right when going downhill. The reasons for turning the steering wheel to the right when parking on a downhill and to the left when parking on an uphill are as follows: 1. When parking on the right side of a slope with a curb, turn right when going downhill and left when going uphill: In case the car rolls, the front wheels will be blocked by the curb, automatically stopping the roll. 2. If there is no curb and the roadside is not dangerous, regardless of uphill or downhill, always turn the steering wheel towards the roadside: This way, if the car rolls, the rolling trajectory will circle around a point outside the road, preventing a significant slide into the center of the road. Choose the lesser of two evils. 3. If the roadside is a cliff: In this extreme situation, even a slight roll can be fatal. Turning the steering wheel is unreliable; placing objects under the wheels is necessary. Additionally, use whatever is available—whether it's 502 glue or seaweed—to secure the car firmly. Most importantly, avoid parking in dangerous places whenever possible. 4. Do not turn the steering wheel to the full lock: to avoid damaging the steering gear.

How to Pay When Buying a Car at a 4S Store?

When purchasing a car at a 4S store, the payment methods can generally be divided into two types: full payment and loan. Below is an introduction to considerations when buying a car: 1. Determine the budget: First, establish your budget range and reasonably estimate your financial capability. Avoid blindly choosing high-priced vehicles that exceed your financial capacity. The cost of the car, along with insurance and routine maintenance, can be a significant expense. It's important to act within your means to prevent the car from becoming a burden. If you're not in a hurry to buy a car, it's best to choose a time when car prices are lower and market prices are more stable, typically during the off-peak sales season from March to August. 2. Inspection upon delivery: When taking delivery of the car, pay attention to the body gaps and paintwork. Check the door gaps and the gaps between the front and rear bumpers. Open the doors to observe if there's any color difference between the interior and exterior paint. Inside the car, check the odometer reading, whether the seat protective packaging and the front plastic cover are intact, and if there are any stains on the seats or dashboard. Also, note if there's a significant gap between the manufacturing date and the delivery date. A large gap might indicate that the car could be a display model or a refurbished vehicle (test drive car). Start the car to feel its operating condition, such as whether there are any unusual noises or if any warning lights are on.

Why does the auto hold system malfunction and work again after restarting?

Auto hold system malfunction and work again after restarting due to: 1. The driver's door is not closed properly, which will cause the auto hold system to malfunction; 2.

How many kilometers can the first maintenance exceed?

The first maintenance can exceed by 500 kilometers. The first maintenance time for a car is between 3 to 5 months, and the first maintenance mileage ranges from 3,000 kilometers to 5,000 kilometers, with some cars even reaching up to 8,000 kilometers. This variation is due to differences in the specific technical conditions of the vehicle. Generally, the first maintenance should not exceed 5,000 kilometers. Car maintenance is aimed at reducing the wear and tear of car parts, preventing traffic accidents, and extending the lifespan of the vehicle. The car maintenance items include: 1. Changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter; 2. Checking whether the levels of various fluids are normal, and inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for any damage; 3. Checking whether the tire pressure is normal and whether there is any uneven wear, bulging, or damage to the tires.
