ETC is installed for free. Currently, the electronic tags provided by banks are installed at no cost. ETC is an electronic toll collection system that allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping. The ETC dedicated lane is designed for vehicles equipped with ETC on-board units, utilizing electronic toll collection methods. The non-stop toll collection system is an advanced method for road and bridge tolling. ETC operates through 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. It uses computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, enabling vehicles to pay tolls without stopping at road and bridge toll stations.

What does the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) mean?

ABS, short for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force of the brake during car braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring maximum adhesion between the wheels and the ground. The specific functions of ABS are: To fully utilize the effectiveness of the brake, shortening braking time and distance; effectively preventing vehicle sideslip and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; allowing steering during emergency braking, ensuring good steering control; avoiding severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear. The ABS sensor is located on the inner side of the car tire and can be seen by lifting the car. There are three types of ABS sensors in total: linear wheel speed sensors, ring wheel speed sensors, and Hall-effect wheel speed sensors.

What does the yellow triangle exclamation mark in a BMW indicate?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance or components and functions. Common causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

Will Points Be Deducted for Using a Phone in the Passenger Seat?

No points will be deducted for using a phone in the passenger seat. Below is an introduction regarding driving seats: 1. Conditions: As cars become increasingly integrated into people's lives, safety has also become a top concern. 2. Development: Professional automotive electronics and mechanical manufacturers tend to emphasize active safety, while branded car factories often promote the passive safety of their products. Car buyers focus on the vehicle's safety configurations and C-NCAP star ratings, whereas drivers pay more attention to their driving habits. 3. Safety Coefficient: If the danger coefficient of the driver's seat is set at 100% as a reference standard, the coefficient for the passenger seat is 101%, the danger coefficient for the rear seat behind the driver is 73.4%, the danger coefficient for the opposite rear seat is 74.2%, and the danger coefficient for the middle rear seat is 62.2%.

What is the perfect solution for front-high and rear-low car seats?

You can purchase aluminum alloy spacers online, remove the rear fixing screws of the seat, and add the spacers to perfectly solve the issue. The thickness of the spacers is 2~3cm, and you can choose according to your actual needs. Car seats are the seating used when riding in a vehicle and can generally be divided into front seats: headrest, backrest, seat cushion, (armrest); rear seats: (headrest), backrest, seat cushion, side wings, (armrest). No unit or individual may engage in the following behaviors: 1. Unauthorized alteration of the registered structure of a motor vehicle: It is prohibited to assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of a motor vehicle without authorization. 2. Alteration of the motor vehicle model: It is prohibited to alter the motor vehicle model, engine number, chassis number, or vehicle identification code. 3. Forgery of motor vehicle registration certificates: It is prohibited to forge, alter, or use forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks. 4. Use of other motor vehicles' registration certificates: It is prohibited to use other motor vehicles' registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks.

What is the difference between Tesla fast charging and slow charging?

Here are the differences between Tesla fast charging and slow charging: 1. Current type: Fast charging uses DC (Direct Current) charging, utilizing a DC charging pile interface: The interface has 5 holes, converting grid AC (Alternating Current) into DC, which is then delivered to the fast charging port of the electric vehicle, with electricity directly entering the battery for charging. Slow charging uses AC (Alternating Current) charging, employing an AC charging pile interface: The interface has 7 holes, feeding grid AC into the slow charging port of the electric vehicle, where the onboard charger converts AC to DC before inputting it into the battery to complete charging. 2. Power: Fast charging is high-power charging: The charging power can generally reach above 40kW. Slow charging is low-power charging: The charging power is typically 3kW or 7kW.

What happens when the brake wheel cylinder fails?

When the brake wheel cylinder of a car fails, there will be oil leakage at the connection between the wheel cylinder and the oil pipe. The brake pedal will feel soft when pressed, and the steering wheel will noticeably pull to one side after pressing the brake pedal. This situation is likely due to uneven brake pad wear or a malfunctioning wheel cylinder. After pressing the brake pedal, the pedal does not rise and lacks resistance, commonly referred to as the brake not returning. Related introduction: 1. Brake pad failure: The brake pads are worn out or their friction coefficient decreases due to overheating. Since the brake pads are the terminal executors of braking, their absence naturally leads to brake failure. On long downhill sections, prolonged braking can cause the surface to overheat, significantly reducing the friction coefficient and preventing the generation of sufficient friction force, resulting in brake failure. 2. Brake fluid leakage: Brake fluid is the force transmitter. Without brake fluid, force cannot be transmitted, and braking becomes impossible. Brake fluid leakage is uncommon because the pipes are not easily ruptured. However, a small section of the pipe near the brake wheel cylinder is made of rubber, so leaks often occur here due to rubber aging or external force-induced rupture.
