Installation method for tire pressure monitor: 1. Unscrew the dust cap of the air valve and put on the dust cover; 2. Install the hex nut, then install the tire pressure sensor; 3. Use a nut wrench to tighten the sensor, and the installation of the tire pressure sensor is complete. Functions of tire pressure monitoring: 1. Prevent accidents; 2. Extend tire service life; 3. Reduce wear on vehicle components. The working principle of tire pressure monitoring is: The sensor installed on the tire monitors the tire's pressure and temperature in real time, transmits the data wirelessly to the receiver, displays the data changes on the display to alert the driver, and issues an alarm when the tire leaks or the pressure changes exceed safe limits.

I installed a tire pressure monitoring system a while ago, opting for the built-in type because it's more accurate and durable. I drove straight to the tire shop where the technician removed all four tires, mounted the sensors onto the wheel rims, then reinflated and balanced them to prevent vibrations. After installation, the display module was paired and mounted on the dashboard to show real-time tire pressure. During testing, they slightly deflated a tire to check if the warning light activated—such thoughtful service. The whole process took just over an hour and cost around a thousand yuan, but it's worth the safety upgrade, significantly reducing the risk of blowouts on highways. Remember to periodically calibrate the system and replace the batteries (about every two years). I wouldn't dare dismantle the tires myself, fearing damage to the sealing rings and potential air leaks—better leave it to professionals for peace of mind.

The float inside the fuel tank is damaged, and it must be repaired or replaced in time, otherwise it will be impossible to determine the fuel usage of the motor vehicle. Extended content: The fuel gauge of a motor vehicle can display the remaining fuel level in the fuel tank. When the fuel gauge of a motor vehicle shows inaccuracies, the fuel float inside the fuel tank can be inspected to identify the specific cause of the fault, and then targeted repairs can be carried out. After repairs, the vehicle's fuel gauge display will return to normal, and the repaired vehicle can be used normally.

What to Do If the ETC Device Is Lost?

ETC device replacement method: The vehicle owner should bring their ID card, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate to the bank counter to handle the change, replacement, or reissuance of the card. The installation process of the ETC device is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; the red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "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 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 properly inserted into the OBU device. ETC device activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on the top of the electronic tag directly to enable Bluetooth. Turn on the phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile app (usually with a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click on "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected successfully, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete the activation.

How is horsepower calculated?

1 imperial horsepower = 0.746 kilowatts (kW), 1 metric horsepower = 0.735 kilowatts (kW); Power (W) = 2π × Torque (N-m) × Speed (rpm)/60; Simplified calculation becomes: Power (kW) = Torque (N-m) × Speed (rpm)/9549. Horsepower is a unit of engine power, representing the engine's working capacity per unit of time. More details are as follows: 1. Horsepower is a commonly used unit of power measurement in engineering. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. The definition of metric horsepower is entirely artificial, taking a value very close to imperial horsepower. 2. It is defined that 1 metric horsepower is the work done to lift 75 kilogram-meters in 1 second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force meters/second = 735 watts. Countries like the United Kingdom and the United States use imperial horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds/second, equivalent to 745.7 watts. 3. In the late 18th century, British physicist James Watt (1736–1819), to measure the power of newly manufactured steam engines, defined horsepower as the work required to lift a 1000-pound weight by 33 feet in 1 minute. This is imperial horsepower, denoted by the letter HP. 4. 1 imperial horsepower = 1.0139 metric horsepower. There is no specific letter for metric horsepower, and the value of 1 metric horsepower differs from that of 1 imperial horsepower. Horsepower has been abolished in China's legal measurement units.
