When using ETC on highways, there is no need to turn on the car's Bluetooth or mobile phone Bluetooth. The ETC junction box installed in the car has a short-range communication response system inside, which automatically communicates with sensors on the road, and neither the car nor the phone needs to turn on Bluetooth. ETC is currently provided by 8 domestic manufacturers, and some ETC terminals can only be installed via mobile Bluetooth during installation, but Bluetooth does not need to be turned on during use. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the owner needs to provide valid ID and vehicle license in original and copy. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID is also required. The copy of the vehicle license needs to include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; a bank card for deducting highway tolls; the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old; and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID of the agent; original vehicle license; vehicle that needs ETC. How ETC works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and uses computer networking technology to settle with the bank in the background, allowing the vehicle to pay the highway or bridge toll without stopping when passing through the toll station. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: Avoid the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through the toll station without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Save wear and tear: Save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starting and braking, reduce wear and fuel consumption, users can enjoy toll discounts; Improve efficiency: The ETC lane passing efficiency can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What does it mean when the EPC light on the car dashboard is on?

The EPC indicator light has two states of illumination: during power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is monitoring the status of all sensors before driving. Generally, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. If the EPC light stays on under other circumstances or does not turn off for a long time after the vehicle is started, the main causes may include faults in the engine intake system, throttle valve, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake light. Below is a detailed introduction to the reasons for the EPC light being on under other circumstances: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will illuminate if the engine intake is not smooth or if there is insufficient air intake. Throttle valve fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle valve. Additionally, dirt on the main body can also affect air intake, causing the indicator light to turn on. Fuel system fault: Issues such as substandard fuel, fuel deterioration, or poor fuel atomization can trigger the light. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or problems with the power system, such as the intake valve, can also cause the EPC light to illuminate. ECU control unit fault: For example, interference with the vehicle computer signal or false alarms from the vehicle computer. Brake light fault: Situations like the brake light not working, brake switch failure, or brake circuit issues can lead to the EPC light turning on. Solutions for when the EPC light is on: Troubleshoot the intake system, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle valve, etc. Remove carbon deposits from related parts. Re-flash the ECU with relevant data. If the EPC light comes on, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the EPC light remains on. If it does not come back on, there may be no issue, and the EPC light might have been affected temporarily. If the EPC light stays on or frequently illuminates, the vehicle should be driven to the nearest repair point for professional assistance in troubleshooting to eliminate potential safety hazards promptly. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system mainly includes controllers and sensors related to the power system. When the sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system will take measures on the power system according to preset programs. Common EPC indicator lights generally display two colors: yellow and red. If the EPC fault light is yellow and the car can still drive normally, proceed slowly to a repair point for inspection. If the EPC fault light is red, the situation is more severe, and the vehicle should be pulled over immediately, with relevant repair personnel contacted for immediate repairs. Forcing the car to drive under such conditions can directly affect the core components of the vehicle or driving safety.

When to turn the steering wheel back when reversing into the garage?

When reversing into the garage, observe the state of the car's wheels through the rearview mirror to determine the time to straighten the steering wheel. Generally, you can straighten the steering wheel when the wheels pass the right-angle edge of the garage and there is no phenomenon of pressing the line. The following is a partial introduction about reversing: 1. Definition: Reversing refers to the behavior of a motor vehicle moving backward. It also refers to people "transferring" midway during a trip, that is, changing from one car to another. Reversing is more difficult than driving forward, mainly because the view is limited to a certain extent. 2. Safety measures: Before reversing, you should first see the situation behind the car, estimate the reversing route, and determine whether the front of the car will hit obstacles during the reversing process.

What should be noted when replacing shock absorbers?

Ensure the tool for compressing the shock absorber spring is secure and operate it properly. Below is relevant information about shock absorbers: 1. Shock absorber replacement: If a shock absorber is being replaced due to normal aging and oil leakage, the other shock absorbers are likely also aged. It won't be long before another shock absorber starts leaking after the new one is installed, so it's recommended to replace them in pairs. 2. Shock absorber price: Generally, the cost of replacing shock absorbers varies depending on the vehicle brand's premium capability, as well as the material and technological level of the product. Normally, the price of ordinary shock absorbers ranges from about 500-1000 yuan; while shock absorbers with higher technological content, capable of adjusting damping, may cost between 1000-5000 yuan.

Where to Charge New Energy Vehicles Daily?

There are several methods for charging new energy vehicles: portable charging, home charging pile charging, and public charging pile charging. The following are the characteristics of new energy vehicles: 1. Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Equipped with batteries that can conveniently recover kinetic energy during downhill driving. In bustling urban areas, the internal combustion engine can be shut down, allowing the battery to drive alone, achieving "zero" emissions. 2. Pure Electric Vehicles: Relatively simple and mature technology, can be charged wherever there is a power supply. 3. Fuel Cell Vehicles: Zero or near-zero emissions, reduce water pollution caused by oil leaks, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and operate smoothly and quietly.
