It is normal for a vehicle to lurch forward when braking to a stop. Below are the reasons for this phenomenon:1. After pressing the brake pedal, the ECU increases throttle opening to prevent engine stalling, causing a slight rise in engine RPM which results in the vehicle lurching forward. 2. Both brake pads and rotors are wear items requiring periodic replacement. As mileage accumulates, these components gradually wear down. 3. Brake fluid is highly hygroscopic. Excessive moisture content in the fluid can reduce braking efficiency and increase stopping distance.

Where should the ETC be installed?

For small cars, the ETC 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 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for an 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, a valid ID of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page stamped with the most recent annual inspection. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 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 windshields with a large rearward tilt, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with 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. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: 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 arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing a single device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and lead to toll deduction failure. If a debit card is linked to the ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.
