If you change your car with ETC, you should reapply at the bank. You cannot dismantle and transfer it to another vehicle by yourself, as this may lead to ETC fraud or evasion of toll fees. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoid the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon solution, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduce expenses, decrease the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lower wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. Precautions for Using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, to prevent issues with the ETC device or if the vehicle ahead has no ETC device, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the vehicle in front. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deductions. Unauthorized dismantling or moving of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may cause the electronic tag to fail. In such cases, take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service center for inspection. If the issue is not due to human error, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also result in failed toll deductions. Follow the guidance of on-site staff and use the manual MTC lane with cash or card payment. Thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

Can the driver's license annual review be done on 12123?

Driver's licenses without traffic violation records can be reviewed online.

For a Class C license, only the violations need to be handled, and no learning is required. Below is relevant information about the annual review: 1. Concept: Annual review, which means annual inspection, but is more colloquial. The annual review refers to the safety inspection of a vehicle conducted every year or every two years. Annual review means a routine examination conducted on a yearly basis. Annual inspection usually refers to the inspection of certain formal IC cards, while annual review is more commonly used in daily life. For example, reviewing meal tickets or shopping membership cards is often referred to as "annual review." 2.

How to Connect Xiaomi 8 Phone to Car System?

First, connect the phone to the car system via Bluetooth, then launch the car's connectivity software, and finally enable the wireless display function in the phone settings. Here’s an introduction to car connectivity: 1. Car Internet System: It is a new form of mobile internet, based on in-car networks, inter-vehicle networks, and car mobile internet. It collects, processes, and shares a vast amount of information between vehicles, roads, pedestrians, and the internet, enabling vehicles to connect with roads, other vehicles, and urban networks for smarter and safer driving. 2. Advantages of Car Connectivity: With the increasing complexity of electronic control systems and the growing demand for communication between electronic control units within cars, point-to-point connections would lead to more wiring harnesses. This creates significant challenges in car design and manufacturing regarding reliability, safety, and weight. Therefore, to reduce internal wiring, achieve data sharing and fast exchange, and improve reliability, automotive electronic network systems based on CAN, LAN, LIN, MOST, and other foundational architectures have been developed on rapidly advancing computer networks, known as in-car networks.

What can be modified in car customization?

Here is a detailed introduction to the legal scope of car modifications: 1. Vehicle appearance: Includes changing the body color, applying body wraps, etc. The vehicle must be registered at the vehicle management office within 10 days after the color change, with new photos taken and the driving license updated. However, the colors fire engine red (R03 bright red), administrative law enforcement vehicle color (white top and blue bottom), and engineering rescue yellow are not allowed. 2. Bumpers: Front and rear bumpers are very important, but modifications cannot alter the vehicle's length and width. 3. Wheels: When modifying wheels, note that the rim size cannot be changed, as it affects the car's power and performance and is illegal. Rims of the same size can be replaced. 4. Interior: Modifications are allowed as long as they do not affect driving safety, but seats cannot be removed or added without authorization. The structural characteristics registered with the vehicle management office cannot be altered. 5. Roof rack: Passenger cars can install roof racks not exceeding 30cm in height. 6.

Inner CV Joint Removal Techniques?

Inner CV joint removal techniques require first removing the internal retaining ring before tapping out the inner CV joint. Relevant instructions are as follows: 1. Inner CV joint removal method: Use a lift to support the vehicle, employ a specialized thin spline square (or hex key) to loosen the six bolts of the inner CV joint (during the loosening process, you can hold the tire), then remove the bolts and locking plates. Loosen the lower arm ball joint lock plate nut and pull the front shock absorber and half-shaft outward. Push the CV joint boot backward to expose an internal retaining ring on the outer side of the CV joint. Remove the internal retaining ring to gradually tap out the inner CV joint. 2. Components of the inner CV joint: bell-shaped housing, tripod bearing or steel balls, dust cover, retaining ring, and grease. The tripod-type constant velocity joint does not contain steel balls inside but uses three bearings with needle rollers that can slide within three tracks inside the bell-shaped housing. It is mainly used for the inner CV joint of four-wheel-drive vehicles, suitable for positions where the inner CV joint does not require large twisting angles. It can slide inward and outward to accommodate the length changes of the drive shaft during vehicle movement.

Is there a penalty for driving in the wrong direction on a service road?

Driving in the wrong direction on a service road is penalized. According to the scoring regulations for road traffic safety violations, if a motor vehicle is driven in the wrong direction, the driver's license will be deducted three points at once. Driving in the wrong direction is extremely dangerous and can easily lead to collisions and traffic congestion, so it is important to be cautious while driving. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: Always use turn signals and slow down when turning or changing lanes. Before turning, be sure to check the rearview mirrors. For left turns, mainly check the left rearview mirror; for right turns, mainly check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, the interior rearview mirror must also be checked. 2. Don't focus solely on the front of the car: When driving on an open road, keep your eyes level and look 100 meters ahead, avoiding fixation on the immediate front of the car. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there's no need to depress the clutch immediately; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before doing so. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.

Does turning on the heater after starting the car consume fuel?

Turning on the heater after starting the car does consume fuel. This is because activating the heater requires the engine to be running, which consumes fuel, although it consumes less fuel compared to using the air conditioning. However, using the heater while driving does not consume additional fuel, as the cabin heating relies on the vehicle's cooling system and is not related to the engine's RPM or power output. Please note the following precautions: 1. Individual driving habits can significantly affect fuel consumption. Practices such as prolonged high-speed driving or using low gears at high speeds can lead to increased fuel consumption, with larger engine displacements being more affected. 2. Regular vehicle maintenance is essential for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to various issues, such as engine carbon buildup and spark plug malfunctions.
