ETC installation steps are as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, the red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" and "Please Insert Card", indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing film of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield. The chip area should be inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On". If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting/removing twice without attaching the tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on top of the electronic tag directly to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there's a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

Last time I installed the ETC device, I put a lot of thought into choosing the location because poor placement could affect signal reception and driving safety. First, I carefully cleaned the upper middle area of the windshield with alcohol to remove grease and ensured it was dry and dust-free. Then, I took out the double-sided tape from the ETC device, peeled off the protective film, and firmly pressed it onto the windshield for several seconds to ensure strong adhesion. Next, I inserted the ETC card, turned on the device, and activated the account via the mobile app. Throughout the process, I made sure not to place it on the black grid areas or corners of the windshield with metal film to avoid signal interference. After installation, I deliberately drove through toll stations a few times to confirm proper detection before feeling at ease. This method is simple and reliable—anyone can do it themselves—but the key is patience and attention to detail to avoid rushed installation leading to device loosening.

Why Should You Buy a Car at a 4S Shop?

4S shops have a certain scale and are more formal, with guaranteed quality and service. The differences between dealers and 4S shops: 1. Ownership: The cars in 4S shops are owned by the manufacturer, while dealers are usually individually invested, and the ownership of the cars belongs to the dealers themselves. 2. Service brand: 4S shops serve only one car brand, while dealers sell cars of various brands. 3. Service scope: 4S shops integrate after-sales services such as car sales, maintenance, parts, repairs, and information services; dealers are only responsible for sales and do not provide after-sales services such as licensing. 4. Maintenance time: Cars sold by 4S shops can receive after-sales services such as maintenance and repairs at any 4S shop nationwide within the warranty period, while dealers' after-sales services usually have time restrictions.

Should You Use Cold or Warm Air Conditioning When Driving in the Rain?

When driving in the rain, it is advisable to use cold air conditioning because the cold air blown onto the windshield forms a thin layer of cold air on the surface, which prevents carbon dioxide from condensing on the glass, effectively defogging it. You can also purchase defogging sprays or anti-fog towels from auto parts stores. Apply the defogging spray to the interior glass surfaces and wipe it clean. This not only removes dirt from the glass but also forms a thin, transparent protective film that prevents moisture from condensing into fog on the glass. The formation of fog on the glass is caused by temperature differences and humidity. When water vapor encounters cold surfaces, it turns into fog. Common defogging methods include: 1. Air Convection Method: Lower the windows on both sides of the car to allow air circulation inside the vehicle, balancing the temperature inside and outside. This method is only suitable for light drizzles, as heavy rain will quickly wet the interior. 2. Cold Air Defogging Method: Using cold air from the air conditioning can quickly lower the interior temperature, making it suitable for emergency defogging while driving. The downside is that it can feel too cold on rainy days, and front-seat passengers may catch a cold if not dressed warmly. 3. Warm Air Defogging Method: Turning on the warm air increases the interior temperature, drying the moisture on the glass to achieve defogging. The drawback is that the fog may initially worsen when the warm air is first turned on, making this method more suitable for use before driving. 4. External Circulation Defogging: Activate the external circulation mode and adjust the air vents to blow air toward the windshield and footwell or just the windshield. While this method is simpler and warmer than using cold air, it is not as fast-acting and may take some time to show results.

Is the Yunnei 156 horsepower the 4102 model?

Yunnei 156 horsepower is not the 4102 model, but the 4105. The 4102 engine is 120 horsepower, not 156 horsepower. Here is additional information: 1. The power of the engine is not equal to the power of the vehicle, as there are intermediate losses in mechanical transmission. Additionally, designs that increase the thickness and weight of the vehicle body for safety reasons can also lead to a loss in engine power. Therefore, a vehicle with a small-displacement engine is not necessarily slower or inferior in performance compared to one with a high-power engine. 2. Under the same displacement conditions, higher power is better. Some manufacturers use advanced technologies to increase power, such as intake valve stroke control, EGR, 5-valve systems, etc. While these technologies enhance power, they also mean an increase in engine costs.

What is the impact of turning off the car directly in D gear?

Turning off the car directly in D gear does not have a significant impact on the vehicle. 1. The automatic start-stop system turns off the engine in D gear, but the key issue lies in how to restart the engine after turning it off in D gear—improper operation can damage the transmission. 2. If the engine is turned off in D gear while the car is parked, you can shift back to N or P gear; if the engine stalls while driving, you must shift to N gear to restart, as the engine cannot be restarted in D gear. Here is additional information: 1. Engine stalling, also known as shutdown, occurs when the reactor is operating at a significant reaction rate. If the inlet temperature is lowered to reach the lower limit of the multiple-state region, the reaction rate suddenly drops sharply, and the reaction essentially stops. 2. Gear shifting (changing gears) refers to the transmission, which is used to alter the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements of driving wheel traction and speed under different driving conditions, such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles.

How many hours is optimal for vacuum extraction of LNG cylinders?

There is no specific time limit for this; it should be determined based on the usage condition of the cylinder. When the vehicle leaves the factory, the vacuum level in the interlayer of an LNG heavy-duty truck's cylinder is around 3*10-3Pa, providing excellent insulation. However, as usage time increases, the vacuum level in the interlayer may decrease, causing the internal pressure of the LNG cylinder to rise, which in turn leads to frequent venting by the safety valve. Advantages of LNG trucks: 1. Safe and reliable: LNG has a higher ignition point than gasoline and diesel, and its explosion limit is nearly four times higher than that of gasoline. Even in the event of a leak, spontaneous combustion or explosion is highly unlikely, ensuring high safety. 2. Clean and environmentally friendly: Compared to gasoline and diesel, LNG's comprehensive exhaust emissions are reduced by nearly 85%, and it contains virtually no sulfides, making it extremely eco-friendly and easier to upgrade to the China VI emission standard. 3. Long driving range: Compared to CNG vehicles, a 335L LNG cylinder can provide a driving range of over 500 kilometers.
