Where is the best place to install an ETC device?

For small cars, the ETC device is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters in height, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have it installed later, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the device should be installed in the microwave skylight strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner themselves, the agent must also bring their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and thus failed toll deduction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

How Long After a Hot Engine Stops Can You Add Coolant?

Typically, you can add coolant half an hour after the engine has stopped to prevent damage to engine components caused by adding coolant when the engine temperature is too high. The method for replacing coolant is as follows: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leaks or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. Coolant is distributed to different parts of the car through the five-way hose to function. If there is any leakage of coolant in this part, replace the hose or re-secure the connection as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue to pour water into the reservoir to allow it to flow continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially flowing out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Note: Don’t forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add new coolant through the radiator hose. Then, add another container of coolant to the coolant reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. At this point, the coolant level will drop slightly as some air is expelled from the cooling system. Add more coolant until it reaches the maximum mark "MAXT" on the reservoir.
