What to Do If Your License Plate is Occupied by ETC?

If your license plate is occupied by ETC, you can bring your ID card, vehicle license, and other documents to an ETC service outlet to consult with the staff. Generally, the staff will contact the previous owner through the database and ask them to cancel the ETC at the bank where it was originally registered. Alternatively, you can log in to the WeChat Mini Program "China ETC Service" and apply for "Release License Plate Occupation." ETC Installation Process: After receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device.

What to Do When Spark Plug Ceramic Breaks and Falls into the Combustion Chamber?

Here are the specific methods to handle spark plug ceramic fragments falling into the combustion chamber: 1. If it's only a small piece of spark plug ceramic, it will naturally be expelled after being slightly broken down by high temperatures. 2. For larger fragments of spark plug ceramic, it's necessary to visit a 4S shop to lift the cylinder head for removal. Larger fragments can cause cylinder scoring in the engine. The hardness of spark plug ceramic is second only to diamond, so when ceramic falls into the cylinder, it cannot be expelled through exhaust methods. Instead, it will move up and down with the piston, causing friction with the cylinder wall and leading to cylinder scoring.

Is Seat Heating Useful?

Seat heating provides significant assistance to drivers during winter. Seat heating refers to the electric heating device installed within the seat. It is commonly found in vehicles equipped with leather seats, as leather surfaces tend to be colder in winter. With seat heating, you won't have to sit on an icy-cold leather seat during freezing winters. Most electric heating devices come with adjustable temperature settings. Below is a brief introduction to seat heating: 1. The basic structure of a seat heater consists of: a bottom layer of non-woven fabric, heating wires arranged on the fabric and secured with adhesive tape, covered by a knitted fabric stitched into a shape resembling the heated area of the seat, and then sewn into the seat cover. 2. To enhance passenger comfort and maintain the seat heating temperature within a specific range, two temperature controllers are installed in the heating pad: (1) Disconnects at 50±5°C and reconnects at 30±5°C; (2) Disconnects at 43±5°C and reconnects at 23±5°C. The backrest heater connects to the seat cushion heater power supply via a plug, which in turn connects to the dashboard wiring harness through another plug. The circuit then passes through the seat heating switch, fuse, and ignition switch before linking to the battery power source.

What are the symptoms of a bad transmission input shaft?

The symptoms of a bad transmission are as follows: 1. The engine stalls when shifting into gear, or there is a jerking sensation during gear engagement, shifting, or driving. 2. Abnormal noises while driving, such as a grinding or rustling sound inside the transmission. 3. Vehicle slippage, lack of power when starting, or inability to accelerate, which is the most frustrating situation. Precursors of a failing transmission 1. Burning smell: If you notice a burnt odor from the transmission fluid, remember this is definitely not a sign of success. It may indicate that the transmission is overheating. Transmission fluid not only keeps the moving parts of the transmission properly lubricated but also provides cooling to prevent overheating. Some car transmissions even have their own miniature radiators. They circulate transmission fluid to remove heat from the transmission, thereby cooling it. Common causes include low or insufficient transmission fluid, or it may indicate that the fluid is leaking or contaminated and needs to be replaced. 2. Difficulty shifting gears: This mainly applies to manual transmission models. Drivers usually prefer to press the brake, clutch, and then shift gears. If the driver finds that after engaging first gear, pressing the clutch makes it impossible to shift, whether upshifting or downshifting becomes difficult, this already indicates a problem with the transmission. Issues may include insufficient or low-viscosity transmission fluid, or problems with the clutch linkage. 3. Gear slippage: In a normally functioning transmission, when the car is stationary, the transmission should remain in the gear you selected or the gear the computer designated to maintain a certain RPM range until you or the computer initiates a shift. However, if the transmission gears slip automatically, the car may spontaneously jump out of drive into neutral. In this case, the driver should be cautious and promptly visit a repair shop or 4S store for maintenance.

Do Leather Seats Need Cushions?

Leather seats do not require cushions. Here are some methods for maintaining leather seats: 1. Keep car leather seats away from heat sources, as proximity to heat can cause the leather to crack. 2. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading. 3. Regularly clean and maintain the seats by wiping off dust with a semi-dry cloth to keep them dry. Below is additional information on the advantages of leather seats: 1. They provide a comfortable ride with a smooth texture. 2. After being exposed to the sun, a few pats can dissipate the heat, offering better heat dissipation compared to fabric or cloth seats. 3. Even if water or beverages are accidentally spilled on the seats, simply wiping them clean will not affect the seats. 4. Leather seats give a premium feel, enhancing the overall interior quality of the car.

What is Cylinder Pressure?

Cylinder pressure refers to the magnitude of compression force when the piston reaches the top dead center at the end of the compression stroke. Insufficient cylinder pressure indicates reduced cylinder sealing, which will lead to decreased engine power, difficulty in starting, and unstable engine operation if individual cylinders lack sufficient pressure. For gasoline engines, the cylinder pressure typically ranges from 8 to 11 bar, while for diesel engines, it ranges from 12 to 16 bar. Specific values should be referenced according to the manual. Methods for checking the cylinder compression pressure of a gasoline engine: 1. The engine temperature should be between 80-90°C, and the battery discharge level should not be below 50%. 2. Remove all spark plugs and fully open the throttle and choke valves of the carburetor. 3. Press the rubber head of the cylinder pressure gauge firmly into the spark plug hole of the cylinder to be tested and hold it in place. 4. Use the starter to rotate the crankshaft for 3-5 seconds at a speed of 150-180 rpm, and record the pressure value indicated by the gauge. Repeat the measurement twice and check the remaining cylinders in sequence. 5. If the cylinder pressure is below the specified value, add 20-30g of fresh engine oil to the top of the piston and recheck the pressure. If the pressure rises significantly, it indicates severe wear of the piston rings and cylinder. If the pressure remains the same as before, it suggests air leakage at the valves or cylinder gasket, and further inspection is required.
