To remove ETC, you can use a hair dryer to heat the double-sided adhesive and then pry it off with a small plastic scraper. Below is some knowledge about ETC: 1. Fully automatic electronic toll collection system: It is one of the service functions of the intelligent transportation system, especially suitable for use on highways or in busy bridge and tunnel environments. Currently, there are dedicated ETC toll lanes at highway toll stations. As long as the vehicle owner installs a sensor card on the front windshield of the vehicle and preloads funds, there is no need for manual payment or stopping when passing through the toll station. The highway toll will be automatically deducted from the card, enabling automatic toll collection. 2. Function of ETC: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station via dedicated short-range communication. By utilizing computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with the bank, vehicles can pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the fees.

I've taken apart my ETC device several times myself, mainly because I frequently change cars or upgrade equipment. Before starting, I make sure the vehicle is completely turned off, parked in a safe location, and the battery is disconnected to avoid any risks. Then, I prepare adhesive remover spray and a plastic scraper—never use a metal blade, as it can scratch the windshield. After spraying the adhesive remover to soften the glue, I gently pry up one corner of the device and slowly pull it off, taking my time throughout the process. Once removed, I clean any leftover adhesive residue with alcohol for a spotless finish. Don’t forget to contact your ETC service provider to deactivate the account, otherwise, it might lead to incorrect billing issues, which can be quite troublesome. DIY saves some money, but beginners should start practicing with simple tools first.

Is it okay to engage P gear without pulling the handbrake?

It is not advisable to engage P gear for long-term parking without applying the handbrake. For automatic transmission vehicles, after parking, the gear lever should be placed in P position, the parking brake (handbrake) should be engaged, and then the engine should be turned off. Here are the specific details for parking: 1. Placing the gear lever in P position only locks the automatic transmission. To ensure the safe parking of the vehicle, the handbrake should be engaged. 2. When parking on a slope, engaging only P gear still poses a risk of the vehicle rolling. Only by engaging the parking brake (handbrake) to lock the vehicle's braking system can the vehicle be prevented from rolling. Additional information: P gear functions similarly to N+ (neutral plus handbrake) and can replace the vehicle's braking system when the handbrake fails, preventing the vehicle from rolling.

How to Check the Production Date of New Car Tires?

Here are the methods to check the production date of new car tires: 1. There will be a set of numbers on one side of the tire. The last four digits of this marking can provide information about the production date. 2. It consists of four digits "AABB". The first two digits "AA" indicate the week of the year (normally one month equals four weeks), while the last two digits "BB" represent the year. Additional information: Tires, like other parts of a car, have a certain lifespan. If they reach a certain age or mileage, they need to be replaced promptly. Otherwise, insufficient grip may lead to weakened performance, ultimately directly affecting driving safety.

What are the reasons for unstable steering wheel in trucks?

Here are the reasons for unstable steering wheel in trucks: 1. Steering gear failure: When the vehicle's steering gear malfunctions, issues such as unstable direction, vehicle deviation, difficult steering, or inability to steer may occur. 2. Abnormal tire pressure: In this case, you should immediately stop to inspect the tires and proceed with repairs or replacements. 3. Incorrect four-wheel alignment: If the vehicle's tires are unbalanced, it can lead to symptoms of unstable steering while driving. This situation requires redoing the four-wheel alignment and checking the tire's dynamic balance. 4. Damaged shock absorber: When the vehicle's shock absorber is damaged or there are issues with the ball joint, it can generally cause the vehicle to deviate. In this case, the shock absorber needs to be inspected and repaired at the nearest repair shop.

What are the causes of the whole vehicle insulation failure in the BAIC EU5 R500?

Here are the reasons for the whole vehicle insulation failure in the BAIC EU5 R500: 1. Battery electrolyte leakage: The electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid, which can corrode the vehicle body and other equipment. After the single-cell liquid is completely leaked, the electrode plates are directly exposed to air, causing oxidation of the plates and shortening the battery's service life. 2. External liquid ingress: After the battery system is submerged, gas is generated due to the electrolysis of water reaction. The movement of high-pressure connected gas produces switching, causing arcing at the connection points. If fully submerged, the arcing may cause a battery fire. 3. Formation of conductive circuits: After the insulation layer is damaged, conductive circuits appear between battery modules and cells, causing short circuits and resulting in whole vehicle insulation failure.

Why is the fuel consumption of the BMW X4 so high?

BMW X4 has high fuel consumption due to excessive carbon deposits and poor cylinder sealing. Here is an introduction to fuel consumption-related content: 1. Fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of large-displacement cars is as high as that of family cars. 2. Comparison: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6 liters. On the same route, a 1.6L car like the Octavia consumes 7 liters. Sports cars usually require much more throttle input than street cars, resulting in higher fuel consumption. For example, a liter-class sports car during aggressive acceleration or high-speed driving can have fuel consumption comparable to a 3.0L car's combined fuel consumption. 3. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy content of the fuel is the same. The relatively higher fuel consumption of the Octavia comes from high wind resistance, a compact structure that leaves no room for fuel-saving technologies, and a high-revving design philosophy to extract maximum power.
