If the ETC is installed incorrectly and needs to be repositioned, the following locations can be chosen: For small vehicles such as cars and vans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position should be in the lower middle part. ETC installation position requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane). The installation process for the ETC device is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display 'Invalid Tag' and 'Please Insert Card,' indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the front windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device.

How to Solve Evaporative Emission System Leakage?

Evaporative emission system leakage treatment method: First, remove the vacuum hose on the activated charcoal canister, then check if the solenoid valve is faulty. If the solenoid valve is faulty, replace it. The following are the impacts of evaporative emission system leakage: 1. Difficulty in engine starting, no idle or unstable idle, black smoke from the exhaust pipe: When the filter at the air inlet at the lower end of the activated charcoal canister is clogged with dust and impurities, the fuel vapor adsorbed by the activated charcoal can reach a saturated state and become liquid fuel, entering the cylinder through the air hole above the throttle valve, resulting in an overly rich mixture. 2. Exceeding tailpipe emission standards, increased fuel consumption: Under normal EVAP operation, if the air inlet at the lower end of the activated charcoal canister is blocked, preventing the engine intake system from normally inhaling fresh air, and the fuel vapor adsorbed in the activated charcoal canister cannot be timely removed, air can only enter through the intake valve of the fuel tank cap, causing the fuel tank to often operate under negative pressure during fuel supply, thereby increasing the evaporation rate of fuel in the tank.

How often should original wiper blades be replaced?

Wiper blades are a type of wear-and-tear automotive product. It is generally recommended to replace them after one year of use or when any of the following three phenomena occur: 1. Thin water streaks: After the wiper blades sweep across, small water droplets remain on the windshield. This may be caused by issues with the wiper blade quality or oil film, etc. The residual water droplets on the windshield can easily cause blurred vision and affect driving safety. When this phenomenon occurs, the wiper blades should be replaced as soon as possible. 2. Scraping noise: Wiper blades are rubber products, and prolonged exposure to air can cause the rubber strips to age and the hardware to wear out. If the wiper blades produce a scraping noise against the glass when in use, they should be replaced promptly. 3. Banded marks: Wiper blades may leave streak-like marks on the windshield, affecting driving visibility and safety. This is often caused by incomplete adhesion between the wiper blades and the windshield or issues with the wiper arm hardware.

Why is it dangerous to overtake on slushy roads during heavy snow?

Overtaking on slushy roads during heavy snow is dangerous because the road surface beneath the slush is more prone to slipping, increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, the splashing slush reduces visibility, and braking in emergency situations is also affected. Therefore, attempting to overtake during heavy snow is highly risky, as overtaking typically involves high speeds. Here are some precautions to take when driving in snowy conditions: 1. Maintain a steady speed: Drive slowly, avoiding sudden braking, sharp steering, or aggressive acceleration. Snow makes the road slippery, and driving too aggressively increases danger. Also, maintain a safe distance to avoid rear-end collisions. 2. Clear snow from the windshield: If the wipers are frozen, do not force them to operate to prevent damaging the motor. The correct approach is to turn on the car's heater to warm the windshield and accelerate the melting of ice and snow. 3. Stay focused while driving: During heavy snow, it is crucial to concentrate fully on driving. Avoid distractions such as making phone calls or smoking while driving.

How to Make a U-turn on the Highway?

The entire highway does not allow U-turns. Here is the relevant information: 1. U-turns are not permitted in service areas, as exiting from a service area still only leads to the opposite direction lane. You must wait until the nearest exit to leave the highway, and then re-enter from the entrance to reach the opposite lane. 2. If you miss an exit or take the wrong ramp direction on the highway, note the following: 1. Maintain your speed and continue forward; do not brake suddenly to slow down. 2. While proceeding, first find the nearest exit or service area. A few dozen meters before the toll booth of this exit, look for a designated U-turn point for drivers who took the wrong route. From here, you can return to the highway. Generally, service areas have a symmetrical layout with a connecting tunnel in the middle. By driving through this tunnel to the opposite service area, you can exit the service area and return to your intended destination exit. 3. If you need to ask for directions, do so within the service area or before the toll booth, then follow method 2 above to return to the correct exit or leave the highway.

How Often Should You Replace Your Car Remote Key Battery?

Generally, the battery life of a car remote key is about 2-3 years, depending on the frequency of use, and it may vary for different car models, making it difficult to determine an exact replacement time. When the control distance of the car key is less than half of the maximum remote distance, or less than about six meters, it's time to replace the battery promptly. Here are a few signs that your car key battery is running low: 1. Reduced effective range of the car key remote: Previously, you could unlock the car from within 6 meters, but when the battery is low, you need to get closer to the car, sometimes even right next to it, for it to respond. This indicates that the car key battery is about to die. 2. Unreliable remote door operation: When trying to unlock the car, the remote may work intermittently, sometimes requiring multiple presses to get a response. This is a sign that the car key battery is running low. 3. Indicator light on the car key: If you notice that the indicator light on the car key is much dimmer than usual, or if it flickers on and off, this means the car key battery is nearly depleted and needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
