If the ETC tag shows invalid, you need to go to the ETC installation point designated by the highway management office to reactivate it and reinstall it on the vehicle's windshield before it can be used normally. The OBU device has a touch switch button. Once the OBU device falls off the front windshield, the button will pop up and lock, showing an invalid tag prompt. Alternatively, accidentally pressing the touch switch button can also directly cause the ETC tag to become invalid. The ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) system is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, combined with computer networking technology and bank backend settlement processing, to achieve the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay toll fees.

What are the reasons why the Mazda6 mechanical key cannot open the door?

The reasons why the Mazda6 mechanical key cannot open the door are as follows: 1. Child lock: Many car owners have never used the child lock and do not understand when it is engaged. If they find that the door cannot be opened from the inside, they may assume the handle is damaged. To ensure the safety of children, many vehicles are equipped with child locks on the rear doors. Once the child lock is engaged, the rear door cannot be opened from the inside and can only be opened using the outside handle. If the vehicle happens to lose power at this time, the door cannot be opened from the outside either. 2. Remote control malfunction: The car remote control is one of the most frequently used components by car owners, but it may occasionally malfunction and fail to open the door. Reasons for the remote control not opening the door include unresponsive buttons, strong signal interference in the surroundings, low battery, anti-theft system failure, or the need for re-matching encryption. 3. Mechanical failure: The probability of the door lock itself failing is very low. If it does occur, it usually happens in older vehicles with high mileage. Solutions include replacing the central control motor or lubricating the lock block. Of course, you can also go directly to a 4S shop to replace the entire lock assembly.

What Are the Common Automotive Maintenance Products?

Common automotive maintenance products include: fuel system no-disassembly cleaners, intake system no-disassembly cleaners, air conditioning system purification cleaners, three-way catalytic converter cleaners, power steering system cleaners, power steering system all-in-one protectants, transmission cleaners, transmission protectants, and other series. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine oil is the lubricating oil for engine operation: It lubricates, cleans, cools, seals, and reduces friction in the engine. It plays a significant role in reducing wear on engine components and extending their service life. 2. The oil filter is a component that filters the engine oil: Engine oil contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, metal shavings from component friction, impurities from the intake air, and oil oxides are all filtered by the oil filter. If the oil is not filtered and directly enters the oil circuit, it will adversely affect the engine's performance and lifespan.

How many kilometers should AT transmission fluid be replaced?

Replace automatic transmission fluid every two years or every 40,000 kilometers. 1. Reasons for changing the fluid: Over time, the viscosity of transmission fluid becomes thinner, leading to decreased lubrication performance, reduced sealing performance, increased resistance and wear, unstable pressure, affecting the working precision of the hydraulic system, reduced transmission control precision, and decreased shift accuracy, which affects smoothness and response speed. 2. AT transmission: The AT transmission is a type of automatic transmission, also known as a hydraulic automatic transmission. The reliability and stability of AT transmissions are second only to manual transmissions, and they can withstand greater torque. For an AT transmission to operate normally, it requires the cooperation of AT transmission fluid, which cleans and lubricates the transmission, and also has functions such as heat dissipation and sealing. AT transmission fluid also has a service life and needs to be replaced regularly.
