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 suitable 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 anti-explosion film or those that have been retrofitted with anti-explosion film, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, and should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original driving license of the vehicle; The vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the 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. If this is not considered when installing the ETC, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced, as there is a solar panel on its back that can charge itself. Therefore, when installing, avoid the black area on the windshield and do not install it in a position that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it casually once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal guide rod, connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal guide rod in. If it is removed casually, the anti-removal guide rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and making it unusable. You will need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

What is the normal engine RPM when the car speed is 120 km/h?

When the car speed is 120 km/h, the engine RPM is generally between 1800-3200. The relationship between engine RPM and car speed: Car speed equals engine RPM multiplied by the current gear ratio of the transmission multiplied by the wheel circumference. Therefore, car speed is related to both RPM and the current gear. At higher speeds, the RPM tends to be higher, but the actual speed also depends on the current gear. The relationship between engine RPM and fuel consumption: When the RPM is low, the engine's fuel injection decreases, reducing the amount of gasoline required to maintain the car's operation, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Therefore, if a car aims to be fuel-efficient, attention must be paid to the engine RPM. However, RPM and fuel consumption are also influenced by many other factors.

Which way is not allowed to turn when the red light is on?

Left turns are not allowed. Traffic lights: Refers to traffic signal lights that direct traffic operation, generally composed of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light indicates a warning. Regarding traffic regulations for left turns: Traffic regulations stipulate that in the absence of traffic lights or traffic police command, right-turning vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles. When motor vehicles pass through intersections without traffic signal control or traffic police command, right-turning motor vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles. It is reasonable that only right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction yield to left-turning vehicles. Because right turns are small turns, stopping at the roadside does not affect the normal driving of other vehicles. Left turns are large turns. If yielding at the intersection, the vehicle would stop in the middle of the intersection, affecting the normal driving of vehicles from the other three directions.

What Are the Reasons for Difficulty Starting a Cold Engine?

Difficulty starting a cold engine is primarily due to the temperature being hard to reach. Other reasons are explained below. Weak Battery: A weak battery is the most common reason for difficulty starting in cold weather. Affected by temperature, the lower the temperature, the lower the battery capacity. Typically, a battery lasts about 3 years. If the engine is hard to start, the headlights are noticeably dimmer, or the horn sounds weak, it's time to check if the battery is weak. Throttle Carbon Buildup: Difficulty starting in cold weather may also be caused by carbon buildup in the throttle. If the engine doesn't start after two attempts, try pressing the accelerator slightly while starting the engine on the third attempt, or start while pressing the accelerator. This should help the engine start immediately. Afterwards, remember to clean the throttle.

What's the reason for the electronic steering lock with one-button start failing to start the car?

The reason why the electronic steering lock with one-button start fails to start the car may be that the inside of the fuel cup is too dirty, causing the filter screen to be blocked or the fuel level in the cup to be low. Below is an introduction to the one-button start system: 1. Introduction: The car one-button start is a part of smart cars, a button device that simplifies the ignition process and can also turn off the engine. The one-button start can be installed in place of the original car key lock or as an independent panel modification. 2. Functions: The intelligent one-button start system includes automatic unlocking, automatic locking, automatic window closing, automatic anti-theft, one-button start, one-button engine shut-off, automatic locking before driving, automatic unlocking when parking and turning off the engine, and also has a trunk opening function.

The Impact of Particulate Filters on Vehicles?

A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, designed to capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Diesel engine pollution mainly comes from three sources—particulate emissions, hydrocarbons (HCx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur. Among these, particulate emissions (soot) are largely composed of tiny particles of carbon or carbon compounds (smaller than 4-20μm in size). How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. After passing through densely arranged bag filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide for release. To check if your vehicle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Refer to the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates that a particulate filter is installed. Look behind the catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe to see if there is an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.

Can vehicle annual inspection be processed during holidays?

You can go to the government service center on Saturday, but annual inspection is not available on Sunday. Motor vehicle and safety technical inspection: Small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; once every year after exceeding 6 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Documents required for vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle license, ID card; handle vehicle violations and clear all traffic fines; traffic compulsory insurance policy from the insurance company; warning triangle; car fire extinguisher. Both the vehicle's fire extinguisher and warning sign are mandatory items for annual inspection. Some vehicles don't come with a fire extinguisher when leaving the factory. Therefore, owners should prepare one themselves - for their own safety and to pass the annual inspection smoothly. The triangular reflector is usually standard equipment with the vehicle. If lost, one needs to be configured before the annual inspection.
