Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, combined with software networking technology and bank backend settlement processing, the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay tolls is achieved. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Postal credit card application form. This credit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and bring the POS receipt to the designated postal outlet to receive and install the ETC vehicle-mounted device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old. Own a vehicle registered under personal name. Below are 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 rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to 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 for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened 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 removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and 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. Precautions for using ETC: 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 from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to toll deduction failure. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failure.

What are the reasons why a hybrid car cannot start?

Hybrid cars cannot start for the following reasons: 1. Issues with the ignition system or fuel line, which can be determined based on the cause of the shutdown; 2. The starter cannot rotate or has insufficient speed; 3. Loose or oxidized battery terminals; 4. Insufficient battery voltage, dead battery, or battery damage. Hybrid cars, also known as composite power vehicles, are equipped with more than one power source: batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, or generator sets of internal combustion locomotives. Currently, composite power vehicles generally refer to those with an internal combustion locomotive generator plus a battery. There are currently three main types of hybrid vehicles: 1. "Parallel mode," where the engine is the main power source and the electric motor serves as an auxiliary power source; 2. "Series-parallel mode," where the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motor at low speeds, and the engine and electric motor work together at higher speeds; 3. "Series mode," where the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motor, with the engine serving only as a power source. In this mode, the drive system consists solely of the electric motor, but a fuel engine is still required.

Which one is the accelerator in an automatic transmission car?

In an automatic transmission car, the accelerator is located on the far right, with the brake pedal to its left. This design is due to the higher frequency of accelerator usage, positioning it on the outer side of the right foot for a more comfortable posture. The brake is placed on the inner side of the right foot, and the brake pedal is slightly higher than the accelerator pedal to facilitate quick reactions from the driver. When pressing the accelerator or brake, the body needs support to maintain balance. While the right foot operates the pedals, the left foot can stabilize the body on the floor. If both feet were placed on the brake and accelerator separately, they would both be in a semi-suspended state without a stable point of support, which could easily lead to unstable operation of either pedal.
