Vehicle brake pulling can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Brake caliper malfunction, where a single caliper fails to retract properly or becomes stuck (locked). 2. Insufficient brake fluid, caused by inferior quality brake fluid or air in the brake lines (vapor lock). 3. Brake pad quality issues, such as irregular wear, delamination, or breakage due to poor quality. 4. ABS system failure, triggered by ECU or hydraulic modulator malfunctions. 5. Different brands or specifications of brake pads or shoes used on opposite sides of the vehicle, resulting in uneven friction effects and inconsistent braking performance between the two sides.

What does 'band' mean in a car?

The 'band' in a car refers to the button used to switch between radio frequency bands, allowing transitions between FM1, FM2, FM3, and AM.

Should the ETC be unplugged when not in use?

There is no need to unplug the ETC. If the ETC is removed by itself, it will become invalid because the ETC device has an anti-tamper function. There is a small switch on the back of the ETC electronic tag. Once it is peeled off the windshield, the internal switch will automatically close. Therefore, you must take the vehicle's registration certificate to the ETC service provider for reactivation. The principle of ETC charging: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the highway. Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the computer network technology is used to settle accounts with the bank, achieving the purpose of paying road and bridge tolls without stopping at the toll station. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through the toll station without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption. However, the discounts offered by each bank vary, so the extent of the discount may differ. Before applying, you can inquire about the discounts at various bank branches; Improved efficiency: the efficiency of passing through ETC lanes can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, newer, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period to "achieve a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the usage rate of ETC passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote the use of ETC by trucks in the future. The deep integration of the ETC system with the development directions of smart transportation, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, will be explored to provide comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications. 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 rear tilt angle, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag requires power, but generally, it does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced 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 arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper guide rod connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper guide rod in. If it is removed arbitrarily, the anti-tamper guide rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The speed for ETC lane recognition is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and cause charging failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to charging failure.
