It is not necessary to renew the ETC warranty after expiration. The validity period of ETC devices is basically 10 years. As long as the device is functioning properly, there is money in the card, and the highway is operational, it can continue to be used. The money in the card belongs to private property. More ETC information is as follows: Introduction to ETC: ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which means an electronic non-stop toll collection system. Generally, vehicles equipped with ETC devices will automatically identify the vehicle, record information, and deduct the corresponding funds from the pre-bound IC card or bank account when passing through toll stations, enabling fast passage. ETC Warranty Period: Like ordinary products, ETC devices also have a warranty period, usually two years. Within two years from the date of installation, if the device or stored-value card is damaged due to non-human factors, warranty services can be enjoyed. Simply take the device to a service outlet for a free replacement of a new device.

What are the main functions shared by couplings and clutches?

Couplings and clutches both primarily serve to connect shafts (or other moving parts) to transmit motion and torque. They can also function as safety devices for overload protection. The differences between couplings and clutches: Couplings generally cannot be separated during machine operation and can only be disconnected after shutdown, while clutches can be engaged or disengaged at any time during machine operation. Coupling classification: Includes two types - with elastic elements and without elastic elements. Functions: Those without elastic elements can transmit motion and torque while providing angular, radial, and axial displacement compensation. Those with elastic elements, in addition to the characteristics of non-elastic couplings, also have vibration damping and cushioning effects. Clutch classification: Meshing type and friction type. Characteristics and functions of meshing clutches: Capable of transmitting large torque with small external dimensions, ensuring synchronous rotation of driving and driven shafts. Includes jaw-type, turning-key type, and sliding-pin type. Characteristics and functions of friction clutches: Allow engagement at higher speeds and slip during overload, providing protection.

Is driving 5 kilometers considered a short trip?

Driving 5 kilometers is considered a short trip. Frequent short trips can be harmful to a car's engine. It is recommended to occasionally drive the car on highways to help remove carbon deposits inside the engine. Hazards of short trips: During frequent short trips, the temperature of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders remains relatively low, leading to increased carbon buildup inside the engine and accelerated wear and tear. With frequent short trips, gasoline that enters the oil pan through the cylinders cannot evaporate and mix with the engine oil under low-temperature conditions, causing the oil to become diluted. Once the oil is diluted to a certain extent, it can no longer provide optimal lubrication for the engine. Therefore, if you frequently take short trips, the interval for oil changes should be shortened accordingly. During short trips, engine oil cannot reach its optimal operating temperature. However, engine oil only provides the best lubrication when it reaches this temperature. If the oil temperature remains too low, prolonged engine operation can result in severe wear.

How to Program a Car Remote Key?

Programming method for the key: 1. Enter the car and close all doors, then lock the car using the central locking button on the driver's side; 2. Insert and remove the key 6 times, and the central locking will automatically unlock; 3. After unlocking, use the lock button to lock the car again, then insert the key and turn it to ACC position, and press any button on the remote; 4. Once more, use the lock button to lock the car, and press the lock button on the remote to activate the central locking; 5. Remove the key, open and close the door, and test the remote. Reasons why the car key does not respond when pressed despite having power: 1. Severe signal interference in the surrounding environment; 2. Damage to the key's control unit; 3. Key code mismatch; 4. Dirt inside the key causing poor contact; 5. The key is too far from the car; 6. Vehicle malfunction, such as damage to the circuit board relay or issues with the car's central locking system.

What are the steps for driving a semi-automatic car up a steep slope?

The steps for driving a semi-automatic car up a steep slope are: 1. Press the brake pedal of the semi-automatic car; 2. Press the one-touch start button of the semi-automatic car; 3. The dashboard of the semi-automatic car lights up, and the vehicle starts; 4. Place the automatic gear lever of the semi-automatic car in the DS position to enter manual mode; 5. Push the gear lever forward once to increase one gear; 6. Continue to push the gear lever forward once to reach second gear. The gear positions of a semi-automatic car include: 1. D (Drive) for forward movement; 2. R (Reverse) for reversing; 3. P (Park) for parking; 4. L (Low) for low-speed driving; 5. N (Neutral) for neutral; 6. W (Winter) for snow or rain conditions; 7. E (Economy) for economical driving; 8. S (Sport) for sport mode driving; 9. M (Manual) for manual mode; 10. OD (Overdrive) for overdrive.

Which Year's Cars Are China 4?

Gasoline vehicles produced after July 1, 2010, are generally China 4 standard. Diesel vehicles produced after July 1, 2013, are all China 4 standard. After July 1, 2013, China 3 vehicles were prohibited from being registered. More information about China 4 vehicles is as follows: 1. The China 4 emission standard is the fourth stage of national motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. China 4 requires that, compared to China 3, light-duty vehicles reduce single-vehicle pollutant emissions by approximately 50%, heavy-duty vehicles reduce single-vehicle emissions by approximately 30%, and particulate matter emissions by more than 80%; 2. China has a large number of vehicles, and automobile exhaust contributes significantly to environmental pollution, with a trend of increasing severity. Automobile exhaust contains harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and the emission standards set limits on the emissions of these gases. Implementation timeline: China 1 standard was implemented nationwide on July 1, 2001; China 2 standard on July 1, 2004; China 3 standard on July 1, 2007; China 4 standard on July 1, 2010; China 5 standard on January 1, 2018.

What are the maintenance items for 7500 kilometers?

For a car that has traveled 7,500 kilometers, general maintenance items include oil change, filter replacement, air filter replacement, brake pad replacement, and coolant replacement. Oil and filter replacement: Whether it's a new or used car, a regular maintenance check is required every 7,500 kilometers, and changing the oil and oil filter is one of the essential items. If the oil and filter are not replaced for a long time, the oil may deteriorate, which can easily cause severe damage to the engine and other components. Air filter replacement: The air filter is also a critical safety checkpoint for the car, effectively preventing dust from entering the cylinder. If the car is frequently driven in areas with a lot of dust, the air filter replacement interval should be shortened. Brake pad replacement: After long-distance driving, the brake pads will experience corresponding wear. Therefore, it is necessary to check the wear level of the brake pads and determine whether replacement is required. Coolant replacement: Coolant protects the car's engine, ensuring more even heat dissipation. During maintenance, it is necessary to wait for the car to cool down before replacing it with new, qualified coolant.
