If you need to change the license plate for your ETC, you must bring the license plate change procedures, along with your ID card and vehicle license, to the original bank processing point or any ETC processing point established by the highway authority to complete the change. The ETC 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; the red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device.

I encountered an ETC issue when selling my car before, but the whole process wasn't actually difficult to handle. The first step is to make sure you cancel the old binding at an ETC service outlet before selling the car. Just bring the owner's ID card and ETC card, and the customer service will help you disassociate it from the old vehicle. When switching to a new car, I went directly to the same ETC point to reinstall the device; if the OBU device is still intact, it can be reused, otherwise you'll need to spend some money on a new one. Don't forget to activate and test the signal on the new car—take a small toll test run on the highway to ensure normal fee deduction and avoid future hassles. Expanding on this, I recommend handling the new car's insurance and license plate registration simultaneously to make the overall process smoother and save you from running around multiple times.

How to Use the Exhaust Brake?

Exhaust brake usage is as follows: 1. The exhaust brake switch is located on the right side of the steering wheel combination switch. After turning on the exhaust brake, the corresponding indicator light on the car dashboard will illuminate. 2. The exhaust brake can be used in conjunction with the service brake. During driving, the exhaust brake will automatically turn off when the driver presses the accelerator pedal or clutch pedal. 3. It's best not to use the exhaust brake when driving in rainy weather or on slippery roads, as it may cause the vehicle to skid or even roll over. To ensure optimal driving conditions, it's recommended to slow down and drive cautiously.

How often does a car need to be refilled with refrigerant?

Under normal circumstances without any repairs to the air conditioning system, it is generally every 4-5 years. Principle of car air conditioning: The compressor of the car air conditioning is driven by the engine. The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which then dissipates heat through the condenser and turns into a high-pressure liquid. It then passes through the expansion valve to become a low-pressure liquid and randomly enters the evaporator to fully absorb the surrounding heat. Function of car air conditioning: It adjusts and controls the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car compartment to the optimal state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue.

What kind of oil is rear axle oil?

Rear axle oil is gear oil. Classification of rear axle oil: The oil used in the rear axle of a car is called gear oil, which serves the purposes of lubrication and cooling. Automotive gear oil can be basically divided into two categories: medium-load and heavy-load. Requirements for rear axle oil: The main requirements for gear oil are the ability to form a continuous and tough oil film on the contact surface between teeth, meaning it should have high oiliness, to maintain a resilient boundary oil layer between transmission components, ensuring minimal wear and preventing scratches. Additionally, gear oil should have good viscosity-temperature characteristics to reduce friction losses in the power transmission mechanism, improve transmission efficiency, and ensure easy starting of the car (especially during winter starts).

Can Car Tires Be Replaced with Larger Sizes?

Car tires cannot be replaced with larger sizes as it will affect annual inspections and fuel consumption. Functions of tires: 1. Function one: Transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to achieve vehicle operation; 2. Function two: Support vehicle load; 3. Function three: Protect automotive components from severe vibrations and premature damage, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. 4. Function four: Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling, mounted on metal rims with high wear resistance.

Is 10L/100km Fuel Consumption Considered High?

This depends on factors like vehicle category, manufacturer, and specific driving conditions. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. Specific cases: Taking domestic compact SUVs as an example, the average fuel consumption under combined driving conditions is about 10L/100km. In traffic congestion, consumption reaching over 10L is quite normal. However, joint-venture vehicles, especially Japanese models, typically show lower fuel consumption. 2. General situation: SUVs usually consume more fuel than sedans due to greater weight and larger frontal area. For compact cars, fuel consumption would be correspondingly lower, while for full-size vehicles, it would increase proportionally.
