Damage to the onboard ETC device. Malfunction of the toll station's ETC system. The bank card linked to the vehicle's ETC is blacklisted. In this case, you need to use the manual lane to pass through the toll station or highway entrance. ETC Usage Precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the front vehicle's ETC device from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also result in a failed transaction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also result in a failed transaction. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass through by cash or card. Poor sensing due to excessively thick car windshield. This is especially important for vehicles that have undergone windshield replacement after an accident or those with modified windshields.

After driving for so many years and frequently traveling on highways, I've encountered several instances where the ETC barrier didn't lift, which was quite embarrassing. I've summarized four common issues: first, insufficient funds in the ETC card, such as low account balance or failure to recharge in time; second, problems with the card itself, like expiration, damage, or demagnetization; third, malfunctions with the OBU device, such as dead batteries or loose wiring; fourth, the system failing to recognize the vehicle, possibly due to excessive speed, lane interference, or bad weather. Each time, I check the card balance in advance and ensure the mobile app is set for recharge reminders to avoid getting stuck at the toll gate and wasting time, sparing myself from honking cars behind. Remembering these points and checking the device status before traveling can save a lot of hassle.

Is it safe to keep a fire extinguisher in the car during summer?

Fire extinguishers can be kept in the car during summer, and it is generally best to place them under the driver's seat or in the glove box. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Self-purchase: Even if the temperature inside the car is higher than the outdoor temperature in summer, the fire extinguisher usually will not explode, and other components in the car will not be damaged by high temperatures. Many vehicles do not come equipped with a fire extinguisher when leaving the factory, so owners need to purchase one themselves. 2. Dry powder fire extinguisher: Most vehicle fire extinguishers on the market today are dry powder fire extinguishers. In summer, although the temperature inside the car is higher than the outdoor temperature, the dry powder fire extinguisher in the car will not be affected by other external forces and will not explode. To ensure safety and that the fire extinguisher can function properly in critical moments, it is necessary to purchase a 3C-certified fire extinguisher produced by a reputable manufacturer.

Can a vehicle be transferred in another location?

Vehicle transfer can be conducted in another location. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the current owner of the motor vehicle should fill out an application form, submit the vehicle for inspection, and provide the following documents and certificates. When processing the transfer registration, the vehicle management office must also verify the motor vehicle, check the vehicle identification number imprint, review the submitted documents and certificates, and reclaim the license plate and driving license. The process for out-of-location transfer: Vehicle inspection mainly involves verifying whether the engine and chassis numbers have been altered, whether they match the original records, and whether the vehicle is stolen. Conduct the transaction and issue a nationwide uniform used car transaction invoice. Apply for vehicle record transfer at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered, while the old license plate is reclaimed and a temporary license plate is issued. Drive the vehicle back to your location and purchase insurance. Bring relevant documents (including the vehicle record) to the local vehicle management office for review. Once approved, the vehicle can be registered locally. When purchasing a used motor vehicle with an out-of-location license plate and intending to register it locally, record transfer is required. The record transfer refers to the vehicle's file, while the transfer changes the owner's identity. Time limit: When the ownership of a motor vehicle is transferred, the current owner should apply for transfer registration at the vehicle management office of the registration location within 30 days from the date of vehicle delivery. Within three working days from the date of acceptance, collect the "Temporary Vehicle License Plate" valid for 30 days across administrative regions, the motor vehicle file, and the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" at the business acceptance window. The motor vehicle owner should apply for vehicle transfer at the local vehicle management office of their residence within the validity period of the "Temporary Vehicle License Plate."

What are the impacts on the owner after a vehicle is forcibly scrapped?

After a vehicle is forcibly scrapped, the owner will face the following impacts: 1. Revocation of driver's license: If the owner is caught driving a scrapped vehicle, they will be fined and have their driver's license revoked. They can only reapply for a motor vehicle driver's license after two years, and will no longer be eligible to obtain Class A or B licenses. 2. Loss of vehicle quota: For vehicles that have been impounded and not processed within three months after public notice, or vehicles that have reached mandatory scrapping standards, the vehicle quota will be forfeited. For owners of key vehicles with multiple unresolved traffic violations, overdue scrapping, or overdue inspections, traffic police departments will lock the vehicle owner and driver's archive information through the "Five Key" vehicle special cleanup campaign (mainly targeting five types of key vehicles including converted non-operational large buses, hazardous goods transport vehicles, large highway buses, large tourist buses, school buses, and vehicles with over 50 unresolved violations).

What is the trunk size of the Buick GL6?

In its regular state, the trunk has a depth of 300mm, a width of 985mm, and a height of 800mm, with a maximum depth of 1910mm. Below are the detailed specifications: 1. Capacity: Without folding down the third-row seats, the GL6's trunk space is quite limited, suitable only for small items like backpacks. However, with the third-row seats folded down, the trunk space becomes more practical, featuring a flat floor that can accommodate several travel suitcases with ease, meeting the needs of daily family use. Folding down the second-row seats as well transforms the trunk into a completely flat space, ideal for moving large items or even serving as a sleeping area. 2. Overview: The SAIC-GM 2019 Buick GL6 was officially launched on October 8, offering a total of 5 models. The new vehicle comes with an upgraded version of Buick's eConnect connectivity technology and includes certain optimizations in its configurations.
