The correct method for adding refrigerant oil to a car's air conditioning system: 1. Open the car's engine hood and locate the high and low pressure pipes of the air conditioning system, where the larger one is the low pressure pipe and the smaller one is the high pressure pipe; 2. Check whether the charging valve is qualified, and the use of inferior charging valves is prohibited; 3. Connect the high and low pressure pipes of the air conditioning system to the red and blue pipes on the air conditioning pressure gauge device, and connect the yellow pipe on the device to the vacuum machine for vacuuming; 4. Turn off the vacuum machine and remove the high pressure pipe; 5. Shake the bottle up and down before use to keep the contents uniform, and add an appropriate amount from the compressor service port as needed. The function of car air conditioning refrigerant oil is to lubricate, seal, cool, and regulate energy for the car's air conditioning system.

Does ETC Need Charging?

Installing an ETC does not require charging as it uses its own built-in power source. The ETC electronic tag consumes electricity, but there's no need to charge the battery during normal use because there's a solar panel on the back of the battery that allows it to charge itself. During installation, it's important to avoid the blackened areas on the windshield. The built-in power source of ETC typically has a battery life cycle of 3-5 years. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If it's not the owner applying, the agent'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 needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual's name. How ETC works: Through the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Using computer networking technology, it settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Installation position: For small cars, the ETC is installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, it's installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position is at a height not lower than 1.2 meters and not higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle N between 30 and 90 degrees (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane). For vehicles with built-in or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect microwave communication signal transmission, it should be installed in the microwave window area. Things to note during installation: Do not block the view, do not affect charging, and do not remove it randomly once installed. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoid the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions; Cost-saving: Reduce costs, decrease the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, minimize wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What is the difference between automotive tier1 and tier2?

Here are the specific differences between automotive tier1 and tier2: 1. Definition: Tier1 refers to first-tier suppliers who sign supply contracts directly with OEMs. Tier2 refers to second-tier suppliers who sign contracts with first-tier suppliers. 2. Supply method: The components supplied by first-tier suppliers are not necessarily entirely manufactured in their own production lines. For example, the LCD screens for instrument clusters are often purchased externally, with the LCD screen suppliers being second-tier suppliers. In general component manufacturing, first-tier suppliers may also acquire required parts and services through purchasing or outsourcing.
