Is it mandatory to install ETC in cars now?

It is not mandatory to install ETC. According to the regulations of the State Council, starting from 2020, vehicles without ETC will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will remain at highway toll stations, and tolls can only be paid through manual lanes. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they must be activated first. During free holiday periods, vehicles with ETC can still use highways, and passing through ETC lanes will not incur charges. The principle of ETC toll deduction: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, vehicles can pay tolls without stopping at the toll station. All of this operates on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles do not need to stop at toll stations; Cost-saving: Reduces vehicle wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing frequent starts and stops. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on tolls; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more advanced, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, key city clusters should achieve interoperability of transportation cards, and the proportion of vehicles using ETC should significantly increase." It also set a target of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year Plan" for comprehensive transportation development. More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with smart transportation developments such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC usage.

How many kilometers does it take to do a major maintenance?

Vehicles should undergo a major maintenance every three years or 60,000 kilometers. The main contents of a major car maintenance are as follows: Oil change: Changing the oil is a must-do item for major maintenance. Engine oil lubricates and reduces wear, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. Oil filter replacement: Replacing the oil filter is done simultaneously with the oil change. The oil filter removes debris, gum, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to the lubrication points. Air filter replacement: The air filter blocks dust and particles inhaled by the engine during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, dust can enter the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls. Cabin air filter replacement: If the cabin air filter is not cleaned or replaced for a long time, the car's air conditioning system becomes contaminated, reducing the performance of the cooling system and affecting the physical safety of passengers.

Should You Press the Accelerator When Reversing?

Whether to press the accelerator when reversing mainly depends on whether the vehicle encounters resistance. Below is relevant information about reversing: When to press the accelerator while reversing: If the vehicle is obstructed, such as by a slope or speed bump, and cannot overcome the obstacle using the engine's idle torque, then pressing the accelerator is necessary to move past the obstruction and continue reversing. When not to press the accelerator while reversing: On flat ground, the vehicle does not require much power to reverse. Simply engaging the clutch with partial engagement and pressing the brake is sufficient for control, without needing to press the accelerator.

Is It Legal to Install Widebody Kits on Cars?

Installing widebody kits on modified cars is illegal. Below is relevant information about car modifications: Purpose: To enhance performance, with powertrain modifications being the most critical aspect of car modifications. To improve a car's power, it is necessary to replace components such as spark plugs, high-voltage ignition wires, air filters, fuel savers, water-fuel catalysts, horsepower boosters, electronic voltage stabilizers, and exhaust systems. Modification Methods: Enhancing car performance through engine modifications involves boosting engine power while reducing fuel consumption, minimizing exhaust emissions, and extending the engine's lifespan. The primary goal is to ensure that the combustible gases entering the engine mix thoroughly and completely, allowing powerful spark plugs to ignite the mixture for optimal combustion. This is achieved by replacing or upgrading components and installing auxiliary products to improve engine performance through modifications to the air intake, electrical, and fuel systems. The biggest advantage of this approach is the ease of installing and removing modification parts, allowing the engine to be restored to its original state when modifications are no longer needed.

How long does it usually take to pick up a new car after purchase?

How long it takes to pick up a new car depends on the model and configuration of the purchased vehicle. The relevant details are as follows: Generally, the car can be picked up within one month: For some popular models or customized imported cars, the pickup time may take up to six months; usually, the purchase contract will specify a clear pickup date, and the car should be picked up according to the agreed date. If the car cannot be picked up beyond this deadline, you can request the 4S store to compensate for the breach of contract. Things to note when picking up the car: Purchase invoice, vehicle certification, three-guarantee service card, vehicle user manual, other documents or accessories, and checking the nameplate.

Is a 1.0T Car Powerful Enough?

1.0T displacement provides sufficient power, with a 1.0T engine roughly equivalent to the power output of a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. Due to turbo intervention, the torque is generally slightly higher than that of a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The main function of a turbocharger is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. When a turbocharger is installed on an engine, its maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with a turbocharger. This means that the same engine can output greater power after being turbocharged. During engine operation, bolts and nuts are prone to loosening due to vibration and uneven loads. It is essential to carefully inspect the adjustment bolts of various components to prevent damage caused by loosening. Timely inspection and adjustment of valve clearance, valve timing, fuel injection advance angle, injection pressure, and ignition timing are necessary to ensure the engine remains in good technical condition, thereby extending its service life.

Where to Turn on the Position Lights?

The control switch for the position lights is the light knob. For models with only manual light functions, turning the light knob one notch will turn on the position lights, and another notch will turn on the headlights. For models with automatic headlights, turning the switch to the AUTO position will automatically illuminate the position lights when the ambient light is dim. Below is a related introduction to position lights: Function of Position Lights: Position lights are a type of warning vehicle lights, mainly used in low visibility conditions to alert other vehicles. Position lights can also be turned on in hazy weather: When the headlights are turned on, the position lights will also be turned on. In hazy weather, during evening driving, or in light rain, the position lights can be turned on separately without turning on the low beams (since low beams are ineffective during the day) to make it easier for vehicles ahead and behind to identify.
