The following are methods to perfectly remove ETC without damaging the car film: 1. Use the hot air from a hair dryer to heat the area where the OBU device is attached to the windshield. The adhesive tape behind the device will soften and lose its stickiness when heated. Then, slowly twist and remove the OBU device by hand or use a plastic scraper to gently pry it off. 2. Soak a towel in hot water and place it on the outside of the windshield to heat the adhesive tape behind the OBU device. Wait for the tape to soften before removing the device. 3. Use sunlight to heat the adhesive tape behind the OBU device. On a hot and sunny day, park the car in an open area to expose the device to direct sunlight until it softens, then remove it. 4. Visit the ETC service center and ask the staff for assistance. They can spray some tar remover and then use a plastic scraper to slowly remove the OBU device. Note that once the OBU device is removed, the anti-tamper button behind it will pop up, causing the ETC device label to become invalid. The car owner will need to go to the service center to reactivate the ETC before it can be used normally again.

Does 'e' Stand for Exhaust Valve or Intake Valve?

The full name of 'e' is exit, which means exhaust, while 'i' represents intake, being the abbreviation of 'in'. More details about valves are as follows: 1. The function of a valve is specifically responsible for introducing air into the engine and expelling the exhaust gases after combustion. In terms of engine structure, valves are divided into intake valves (intake-valve) and exhaust valves (exhaust-valve). The intake valve's role is to draw air into the engine to mix with fuel for combustion; the exhaust valve's role is to expel the burned exhaust gases and dissipate heat. 2. The valve head operates at very high temperatures (intake valve 570~670K, exhaust valve 1050~1200K) and also withstands gas pressure, the force of the valve spring, and the inertial force of the transmission components. With poor lubrication and cooling conditions, valves must possess certain strength, stiffness, heat resistance, and wear resistance. Intake valves are generally made of alloy steel (chromium steel, nickel-chromium steel), while exhaust valves are made of heat-resistant alloys (silicon-chromium steel). Sometimes, to save on heat-resistant alloy materials, the head of the exhaust valve is made of heat-resistant alloy, and the stem is made of chromium steel, after which the two parts are welded together.

What does 17×7.5j mean in wheel specifications?

The wheel size 17×7.5j can be interpreted as follows: The number 17 refers to the wheel diameter in inches, indicating a 17-inch wheel. The number 7.5 represents the wheel's cross-section width in inches. The letter 'j' denotes the shape and height of the wheel flange. The 'X' in the middle does not signify length × width as commonly understood, but rather indicates that the wheel is of a one-piece deep well type, typically used for passenger vehicles. In contrast, large trucks and specialized wheeled machinery often employ semi-deep well wheels. The advantages of larger wheel sizes are as follows: 1. Larger wheels offer greater load-bearing capacity. Smaller wheels often use steel materials to save costs, whereas larger wheels typically employ aluminum alloy, especially those made by forging processes. The load-bearing capacity of such wheels is five times that of ordinary steel wheels. 2. Larger wheels improve the vehicle's cornering performance. After wheel modification, the increased contact area enhances stability during turns, significantly boosting the vehicle's cornering capability. 3. Larger wheels may reduce ride comfort. Generally, the overall tire diameter remains constant, meaning larger wheels result in thinner tire sidewalls. This reduces the tire's ability to dampen road noise, leading to increased cabin noise and compromised interior quietness.

What maintenance should be done for a car with 70,000 kilometers?

For a car with 70,000 kilometers, the following maintenance should be performed: 1. Consider replacing the tires. When a car reaches over 70,000 kilometers, the tire tread is usually severely worn, and the rubber may have aged. For driving safety, it is recommended to replace the tires. 2. Replace the transmission fluid. Transmission fluid has a usage cycle and generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. 3. Clean the three-way catalytic converter. As the vehicle's mileage increases, carbon deposits from the engine can clog the three-way catalytic converter, leading to poor acceleration and failing emission standards. The cleaning cycle for the three-way catalytic converter is typically every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. It is recommended to clean it at this point. 4. Inspect the vehicle's suspension and various rubber bushings. These rubber bushings play a role in supporting and stabilizing the vehicle's engine. Over time, rubber aging can cause various noises from the chassis while driving. Therefore, it is recommended to inspect the suspension system.

How to Disassemble and Assemble the Power Steering System?

The disassembly and assembly method of the power steering system is as follows: 1. Lift the vehicle and remove the tie rod fixing nut. 2. Remove the steering gear bolts and loosen the oil inlet pipe of the control valve housing. 3. Remove the left self-locking nut of the rear cross plate and the bolt that fastens the rack and steering tie rod. 4. Remove the lower cover on the side of the instrument panel, the ventilation pipe, and the pedal cover, and then remove the steering gear. Extended content: Precautions for disassembling and assembling the power steering device: 1. The disassembly and assembly should be carried out carefully, especially the control valve spool should be prevented from tilting during the process to avoid damaging or scratching the working surface of the parts. 2. Special attention should be paid to protecting sealing elements, such as oil seals, sealing rings, piston rings, etc. Avoid scratching or scuffing their working surfaces when passing through edges, splines, and threads. If necessary, use tools such as guide sleeves for disassembly and assembly. After installation, the O-ring should be free of distortion. 3. Keep the parts clean during the assembly of hydraulic components. Rubber seals should be cleaned with hydraulic oil or alcohol, and gasoline or kerosene should not be used. After cleaning, the parts should be dried with compressed air and should not be wiped with cotton yarn. During assembly, a small amount of hydraulic oil should be applied to the surface of the parts.

Will points be deducted for changing lanes over a solid line?

Changing lanes over a solid line will result in a deduction of 3 points. Below is an introduction to the relevant content about crossing lines: Solid lines: Whether it's a single yellow line or a double yellow line, as long as it's a solid line, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as for overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. While driving, you should not cross the line unless under special circumstances. Dashed lines: Whether it's a single yellow line or a double yellow line, as long as it's a dashed line, you can overtake or make a U-turn when it's safe to do so. Single yellow lines are generally used on roads with up to four lanes (including bicycle lanes) in both directions, while double yellow lines are generally used on wider roads. At an intersection with a red light, you can make a U-turn over a solid line only when the left-turn signal is green. If there is no dedicated U-turn signal light at the intersection and no prohibition sign for U-turns, it means that U-turns are allowed at the intersection. Unlike left-turning vehicles, U-turning vehicles can proceed at a red light as long as they do not affect the normal passage of other vehicles.
