The functions of the triangular window on a car are as follows: 1. The first function is to expand the field of vision and reduce blind spots. The triangular window on the front door of the car can increase the driver's field of vision. While driving, it is necessary to observe not only the front of the car but also the conditions on both sides. Without the triangular window on the front door, the driver might not be able to see the traffic conditions and surroundings in that direction, which could easily lead to traffic accidents. The triangular window on the rear door can increase the viewing area for backseat passengers, providing them with a broader field of vision. 2. The second function is that the triangular structure is more stable. Among various polygons, the triangle has the best stability. Many objects in daily life that require high stability are designed using the principle of triangles. The triangular window on the car helps to make the entire window more stable. 3. The third function is to determine the position of the car body. Through the triangular window, the driver can clearly see the position of the wheels. When turning, the direction of the wheels can be judged via the triangular window. Although the triangular window on the car is small, it is much more difficult to manufacture and replace than the other glass on the car, and it is also not cheap.

Can a replaced car trunk be detected?

Specific observations can be made from the following aspects: 1. Color difference: If the trunk has been replaced, there may be a certain color difference between it and the body. It's quite simple—compare the color of the trunk with the nearby ABC pillars. If the difference is too significant, there's likely an issue. There's no need to compare it with the entire body. 2. Fit: Sometimes, even after replacing these parts, they may still fit perfectly. 3. Car windows: In more severe accidents, the car windows may have cracked or at least been damaged, requiring replacement. Therefore, clues can also be found through the car windows. However, this is not 100% accurate, as sometimes replacing the trunk may not involve replacing the windows.

What is the status of ETC activation?

The status of ETC activation is a successful connection, and the bound electronic device will receive an SMS notification. This allows the vehicle to use the ETC-exclusive lanes when entering and exiting highways without the need to stop for toll payment. The ETC system requires the use of a rechargeable card, which must be inserted when using the system. If the ETC system is not needed, the card can be removed. ETC, which stands for Electronic Toll Collection, is a specialized road tolling method typically used on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC works 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 toll stations. It utilizes computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to pay tolls.

What does it mean when the car displays 'nokey'?

Interference from in-car devices: Heads-up display, navigation, tire pressure monitoring, etc., these devices may interfere with the sensor receiving signals from the key. 3. Sensor malfunction: There are key sensors located in the vehicle's dashboard, under the center console, and under the rear seats, etc. If these sensors malfunction or the connectors become loose, the vehicle may fail to detect the key. 4. Low vehicle battery: If the vehicle's battery is low, it cannot power the vehicle's electrical devices, and naturally, it won't be able to detect the remote key.
