The front bumper cover of a car is essentially the same component as the front bumper itself. It serves to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the vehicle body. Located at the lower lip of the bumper, it can generally be replaced separately. If damaged in this area, it can be directly replaced. Below are the functions of the front bumper cover: 1. Low cost. Compared to metal, plastic has lower manufacturing costs. 2. Simple manufacturing. For certain special shapes, plastic components are easier to mold than metal. 3. Reduces harm to pedestrians. Plastic has better elasticity than metal. In the event of a collision with a pedestrian, the injuries sustained are significantly less severe. 4. Meets lightweight requirements. Vehicle weight has a considerable impact on fuel consumption. The use of plastic components can greatly reduce vehicle weight, thereby lowering fuel consumption.

What brand are the original tires for the 2013 Teana?

The original tires for the Teana are Bridgestone tires. Below are specific details about the tires: 1. Functions of tires: Tires support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, transmit traction and braking torque, ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road, reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. 2. Tire maintenance methods: Tire maintenance methods include regularly cleaning stones from tire treads, minimizing exposure to direct sunlight, frequently checking tire pressure, paying attention to suspension maintenance, regularly inspecting front wheel alignment, and being mindful of driving habits.

Brief Introduction to the Working Principle of Air Flow Meter

Air flow meter working principle is that under the condition of constant voltage of the air flow meter, the resistance of the air flow meter is changed by changing the intake air volume, thereby changing the current size and transmitting it to the car ECU. The air flow sensor, also known as the air flow meter, is one of the important sensors of the EFI engine. It converts the inhaled air flow into an electrical signal and sends it to the electronic control unit ECU, as one of the basic signals to determine the fuel injection, and is the sensor to measure the air flow inhaled by the engine. With the microcomputer used to control the fuel injection, several other types of air flow sensors have appeared, such as the valve-type air flow sensor and the Karman vortex air flow sensor.

Can I apply for ETC if the vehicle registration certificate is not under my name?

It is possible to apply for ETC even if the vehicle registration certificate is not under your name. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, you need to bring the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp). If applying on behalf of someone else, you also need to provide the original valid ID card of the agent. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, you will also need to prepare a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding with a debit card. ETC Deduction Principles: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with the bank, the vehicle can pass through the toll station without stopping to pay the toll. All of this is based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates 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, thereby minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces vehicle wear and tear, lowers fuel consumption, and users can enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation smart cards will be widely used in key city clusters, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." The plan also sets a target of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will also promote ETC usage for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent automatic sensing and payment for the vehicle in front, in case its ETC device is faulty or nonexistent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and subsequent deduction failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may render the tag invalid. In such cases, you can take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the issue is not due to human error, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may cause deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pay with cash or card. Poor sensing due to overly thick windshield glass, especially for vehicles that have had windshield replacements after accidents or modifications, should be noted.

Do people drive on the left or right side in Taiwan?

In Taiwan, the driver's seat is on the left side of the car, and vehicles drive on the right side of the road. In Asia, apart from Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, and Indonesia, most regions and countries follow the same regulations as mainland China, with the driver's seat on the left and driving on the right side of the road. Here is more related information: 1. Steering wheel direction: The side of the steering wheel is determined by the driving rules of different countries and regions. Right-hand drive is common in Commonwealth countries, where traffic rules dictate driving on the left side of the road with left turns having priority. This setup also ensures better visibility for the driver, who sits on the right side, to see oncoming traffic clearly. 2. Left-hand drive: Conversely, left-hand drive is the driving habit and rule in countries and regions like the Americas, where driving is on the right side, and the driver sits on the left for better visibility of oncoming traffic when passing. In China, where the traditional preference is for the right hand (more advantageous for gear shifting), left-hand drive vehicles are used.

What is the maximum speed for 4th gear?

Generally, 4th gear can be used at speeds between 10 to 50 kilometers per hour, but this is not a strict rule. When driving a manual transmission vehicle, the gear should match the engine RPM and driving speed. Below are the relevant introductions for each gear of a car: 1. 1st gear: Used for normal starting or climbing very steep slopes, with speeds mostly around 10km/h. 2. 2nd gear: Used for low-speed driving or climbing steep slopes, with speeds mostly around 20km/h. 3. 3rd gear: Mostly used at speeds between 20 to 40 kilometers per hour, often used for city driving. 4. 4th gear: Generally used at speeds between 40-60km/h.
