Highway sawtooth lane lines are a type of deceleration marking, which can be divided into horizontal markings and vertical markings. Below is a partial introduction to deceleration markings: 1. Deceleration markings can be categorized into horizontal deceleration markings and vertical deceleration markings. These are white dashed lines set up in toll plaza areas, exit ramps, or other sections where vehicle deceleration is required. They come in forms such as single dashed lines, double dashed lines, and triple dashed lines, arranged perpendicular to the direction of travel. 2. The primary function of deceleration markings is to create a sense of visual narrowing of the lane, inducing a feeling of pressure on drivers, thereby prompting them to automatically reduce speed at locations requiring deceleration, such as curves or slopes.

How to Solve Shock Absorber Noise in Cold Weather?

To solve shock absorber noise in cold weather, the method is to replace the stabilizer bar bushings. Shock absorbers are used in vehicles to accelerate the attenuation of frame and body vibrations, thereby improving the smoothness of the ride. When driving over uneven roads, the shock-absorbing springs filter out road vibrations, and the springs themselves undergo reciprocating motion. The shock absorbers are used to suppress the bouncing of the springs. The principle of shock absorbers is: when relative motion occurs between the frame and axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down, causing the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through different orifices. The friction between the orifice walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction between oil molecules, create resistance to the vibration, converting the vehicle's vibration energy into heat energy of the oil, which is then absorbed by the shock absorber and dissipated into the atmosphere.

Where is the wiper node located?

The wiper node is located at the connection point between the wiper arm and the wiper blade. Its function is to help determine the position of the tires, avoiding them from pressing against solid lines or encountering potholes and stones on the road. The wiper is a blade-like structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its purpose is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs the driver's view. The steps to replace the wiper are: 1. Lift the metal wiper arm away from the windshield and hold it steady in a position perpendicular to the windshield; 2. Press the tab and remove the old wiper blade, separating it from the metal arm; 3. Insert the new wiper blade, gently rotating it until the hook snaps into place and is secured; 4. Return the wiper to its position on the windshield.

How Long Does a Car Key Battery Last?

Car key batteries typically last about 3 years. Key usage precautions include: 1. Avoid contact with magnetic objects; 2. Avoid exposure to high-temperature environments; 3. Avoid hanging with other keys or accessories; 4. Replace lost keys promptly to prevent property loss; 5. Do not store spare keys inside the vehicle; 6. Protect smart keys from drops or impacts; 7. Ensure battery model matches when replacing. The method for replacing car key batteries is: 1. Remove the mechanical key; 2. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the "open" slot at the bottom and pry gently; 3. Once a gap appears, use the screwdriver to carefully separate the key casing; 4. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one; 5. Reassemble the key.

Where to Place the ETC Device?

The installation position of the ETC device for small cars is generally 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 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with built-in or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect microwave communication signal transmission, the device should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which means electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is handled by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. The vehicle must be registered under an individual's name, and the owner must be between 18 and 60 years old. 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 a steeply inclined windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If the ETC device is installed without considering this, it may increase blind spots for the driver. 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 built-in solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: 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 device is removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism 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 avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to unsuccessful toll deduction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

What Causes Frequent Tripping of the Car Compressor?

Frequent tripping of the car compressor is due to compressor protection faults. Below are specific introductions to the forms of air conditioning compressor protection: 1. Overheating protection: The system runs for a long time after being low on refrigerant; the system has a blockage (ice blockage or dirt blockage) and runs for a long time; the ambient temperature is too high; the compressor's overheating protection device is faulty. As long as the compressor's temperature decreases, it can start. Generally, you can pour water on the compressor for rapid cooling and then investigate the cause of the protection. 2. Overcooling protection: The ambient temperature is extremely low (below -15 degrees Celsius). 3. Overcurrent protection: The voltage is too low; the compressor itself is faulty.
