Where is the best position to install ETC?

For small cars, the ETC device is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have it installed later, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual's name aged between 18 to 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the right side of the rearview mirror can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed randomly, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and making it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note that: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the car in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the car in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the car ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may prevent the vehicle device information from being read, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

What causes simultaneous tire pressure warnings on all four tires?

Simultaneous tire pressure warnings on all four tires are caused by uneven tire pressure among the tires. The solution is to reinflate all four tires to the same pressure level, then press the tire pressure reset button to clear the warning. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. Tire pressure is like the blood pressure of a car - it plays a crucial role in vehicle performance and power. Tire pressure serves as an indicator of a car's load capacity. The load a vehicle can carry depends on tire pressure levels. According to the relationship between a tire's load index, pressure, and load capacity: higher tire pressure increases load capacity, while lower pressure reduces it.

What is the Difference Between Body-on-Frame and Unibody Construction?

The following are the differences between body-on-frame and unibody construction: 1. Chassis and body connection: In body-on-frame vehicles, the chassis and body are separate components, and the vehicle can still operate normally if the body is removed from the chassis. In unibody construction, the body and chassis are integrated and cannot be fully separated. 2. Weight differences: Body-on-frame vehicles are heavier with a higher center of gravity, which negatively impacts handling. Unibody vehicles are lighter with a lower center of gravity, improving handling. 3. Ride comfort: The heavier weight and higher center of gravity of body-on-frame vehicles result in relatively poorer ride comfort. Unibody vehicles, being lighter with a lower center of gravity, offer better space utilization and superior ride comfort.
