Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. Highways are equipped with one or more ETC lanes. ETC payment method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system connects with the bank for back-end settlement processing. This allows vehicles to pay tolls without stopping when passing through bridge or road toll stations. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application requirements are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Credit card application form, which is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS slip to the designated service point to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old. Own a vehicle registered under personal name. Precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror. Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging. The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or 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 presses the lever in. If removed, the lever will pop out, triggering the switch and locking the electronic tag, rendering it unusable. You will 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 the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle device information, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

Is 9.0 Fuel Consumption High?

Under normal circumstances, a fuel consumption of 9.0 for general vehicle models is considered normal. Below is a brief introduction about gasoline: 1. Basic Information: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation and cracking, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Composition: The main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on octane levels. Starting from January 2012, gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95.

Why does an automatic transmission car suddenly slow down during normal driving?

It could be due to a slipping torque converter or internal transmission clutches and brakes. Additional Information: Automatic Transmission: As the name suggests, it eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. Automatic Transmission Cars: Automatic transmission cars typically use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, hence there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the accelerator is pressed and engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.
