Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic road toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the system uses networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a 'pass first, charge later' approach. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC vehicle-mounted device for free at designated outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old. The vehicle must be registered under the applicant's name. Below are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened 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 installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This 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 in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deduction. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction to fail.

What is the method for replacing the coolant in the BYD Song?

BYD Song coolant replacement tutorial: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe is named for its five connections to various parts, and the coolant is distributed to different sections of the car after flowing through it. If there is any coolant leakage in this area, replace the hose or resecure the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir and continue filling until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water coming out will have a faint pink tint. Keep adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Remember to disconnect the heater hose to drain the water from the heater core. After about an hour of draining, add the new coolant through the radiator hose for quick flow into the radiator. Then, fill the coolant reservoir with another bottle of coolant until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Top it up to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir. Can different coolants be mixed? Always use the same brand of coolant. Different brands may have varying formulations, and mixing them could cause chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective.

Can New Energy Vehicles Apply for a Separate Electricity Meter?

New energy vehicles can apply for a separate electricity meter. The required documents for the installation application are as follows: proof of identity of the homeowner; property ownership certificate for the electricity usage address; if authorizing someone else to handle the application, provide the agent's identity proof and a power of attorney; if applying for bank deduction of electricity fees, submit the relevant payment documents. Notes for the installation application: During the construction process, the first construction usually does not require the user to pay construction fees. However, if the construction is not completed within one day and needs to be extended to the next day, the construction personnel will charge a certain labor fee, which is usually calculated based on labor and working hours.
