To solve shock absorber noise in cold weather, the method is to replace the stabilizer bar bushings. Shock absorbers are used in vehicles to accelerate the attenuation of frame and body vibrations, thereby improving the smoothness of the ride. When driving over uneven roads, the shock-absorbing springs filter out road vibrations, and the springs themselves undergo reciprocating motion. The shock absorbers are used to suppress the bouncing of the springs. The principle of shock absorbers is: when relative motion occurs between the frame and axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down, causing the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through different orifices. The friction between the orifice walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction between oil molecules, create resistance to the vibration, converting the vehicle's vibration energy into heat energy of the oil, which is then absorbed by the shock absorber and dissipated into the atmosphere.

How to Install a Car License Plate?

Method for installing a car license plate: 1. After receiving the license plate, take out the license plate screws and insert them into the anti-theft caps while rotating them; 2. Then, position the license plate correctly and align the screws with the four gaps on the bumper, securing them with a cross screwdriver; 3. After tightening, cover the anti-theft caps and press them in gently. Typically, the received license plate will come with a set of secure screws. According to relevant regulations, both the front and rear vehicle license plates must be installed with four screws each, totaling eight screw holes. The screws must be obtained from the vehicle management office and cannot be privately used for fixing. Failure to comply with the prescribed screw assembly for fixing will result in penalties.

Does ETC need to be reactivated if it falls off?

Yes, it is necessary because the ETC device has an anti-tamper function. There is a small switch on the back of the ETC electronic tag. Once it is peeled off from the windshield, the internal switch will automatically close. Therefore, you must take the vehicle's registration certificate to the ETC service provider for reactivation. ETC's deduction principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the highway. Through the dedicated short-range microwave 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, and using computer networking technology to settle accounts with the bank, the vehicle can pay the toll without stopping at the bridge or toll station. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: the theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key urban clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators: "by 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. 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 large rearward angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag requires power, but generally, it does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced because there is a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and do not place it where the solar panel might be obstructed. Do not remove it casually once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper rod in. If it is removed casually, the rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Things to note when using ETC: 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 from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may prevent the vehicle's device information from being read, leading to a failed fee deduction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also result in a failed fee deduction.

What does nav mean on a car?

Nav on a car stands for navigation, which is the abbreviation of Navigation. It refers to the version of the vehicle model equipped with a GPS satellite positioning system. The nav label is commonly found in the central control area of the vehicle. Clicking or pressing the nav button will enter the vehicle's navigation system, providing navigation services for the owner. The main functions of nav include electronic maps and intelligent navigation. In the navigation system, simply set the destination, and the navigation system will automatically recommend three routes based on the owner's requirements: high-speed priority route, general priority route, and shortest path route. These routes will be marked on the electronic map, and the system will provide voice guidance throughout the journey from the starting point to the destination.

What Causes Fog Inside Headlights?

The reasons for fog inside headlights: 1. Temperature difference causing fog: There is a vent tube on the rear cover of the headlight. Hot expanding gas is discharged through this channel, which can allow moisture to enter the vent tube, resulting in slight fogging. This phenomenon usually occurs in winter, rainy seasons, or foggy weather; 2. Washing the car or driving through water causing fog: Improper car washing or driving through water can lead to fogging. When cleaning the engine, use a wet towel instead of directly spraying with a high-pressure water gun. Methods to remove fog inside headlights: If caused by temperature difference or moisture, turning on the low or high beams for about 10 minutes will gradually dissipate the fog inside the headlights. The moisture inside will quickly evaporate during normal use of the headlights or under sunlight. Never use baking methods to remove fog from headlights to avoid damaging them.
