ETC electronic tag refers to the OBU device, which is commonly known as the ETC device. The OBU device is mostly installed on the windshield of motor vehicles and communicates with the roadside unit (RSU) at highway toll stations via microwave heating. When the vehicle approaches the gear lever, the RSU detects the signal from the OBU and automatically opens the gear lever, achieving the effect of automatic control system driving. ETC installation process: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly light up. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" and "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the protective film on the back of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press it with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the front glass, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device.

What is the height limit for spoiler modifications in 2021?

Currently, although the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" have relaxed certain modifications for vehicles, the policy does not support spoiler modifications. Installing a spoiler is considered altering the vehicle's appearance and is illegal; therefore, it is not recommended. Below is an introduction to the regulations on vehicle modifications: According to the relevant provisions of the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," any changes to the color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed motor vehicle, including replacing the frame, body, or engine, require the owner to apply for a modification registration with the vehicle management office. Actions such as adding a spoiler, installing wide body kits, or modifying the exhaust system are, in principle, not permitted.

How to Remove Paint Dots from Car Windows?

First, use a cloth dipped in alcohol to wipe the area. The paint used on guardrails is usually alkyd paint, which can typically be removed with alcohol. Industrial alcohol is recommended. Carburetor cleaner can also be used to remove paint from the glass. It is advisable to spray the cleaner onto a towel and then wipe the glass to remove the paint. For a professional solution, consider visiting a specialized car detailing shop for polishing and waxing treatments to address paint on the windshield.

What to Do When the Car Gets Scratched and Dented?

Vehicle exteriors are made of a combination of sheet metal and plastic. Plastic softens when heated, so in principle, dented areas can be pushed out by heating them. Set the hairdryer to the hot air setting and direct the airflow at the dented part of the car. Immediately after using the hairdryer, cover the dented area with prepared aluminum foil. The dented plastic needs to be heated to a certain degree to soften and achieve the desired effect. Once the plastic is heated sufficiently, push it outward from the hood above with your hand until the dented area pops out and returns to its original shape.

Can I fix the window glass that won't roll up or down by myself?

Insert chopsticks wrapped with a towel into the glass guide channel. You can adjust the number of towel layers wrapped around the chopsticks according to the width of the guide channel to achieve an appropriate thickness. After cleaning, spray some dashboard wax (used for interior maintenance) into each glass guide channel for better results. This issue may be caused by problems with the window lift motor or the window lift mechanism.
