The method for changing ETC after keeping the old license plate for a new car is: 1. Bring the vehicle license and ID card, and fill out a change form; 2. There is a button on the back of the ETC device. Pressing it will deactivate the device, and it needs to be rematched at the purchase location; 3. Go to the ETC customer service center to process data changes. When changing or selling the car, you must first cancel the ETC. Bring the owner's ID card, vehicle license, ETC card, and OBU device to the ETC customer service center for removal, then use the removal receipt issued by the ETC customer service center to terminate the contract at the contracted bank. The old license plate must be under your name and must have been used for at least three years. You need to complete the vehicle transfer (relocation) or cancellation (scrapping) procedures for the old car, then conduct an external inspection and registration for the new car, while applying to use the original vehicle license plate and submitting it to the handling officer. It is particularly important to note that the name and ID number on the new car's invoice must be consistent with those of the old car.

What Causes Both the ABS Anti-Slip and Tire Pressure Lights to Illuminate Simultaneously?

Reason: The issue is caused by a malfunction in the vehicle's electronic control system. Solution: Promptly visit the car's 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop to inspect the vehicle's electronic control system. Using a diagnostic computer to check the electronic control codes will resolve the problem of the ABS light illuminating. Tire Pressure Monitoring Light: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle with no top seal, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of this light indicates abnormal tire pressure. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically alerts when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset promptly, it continues to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure warning light will activate. Damaged sensors must be replaced with new components.

What lights should be used when driving closely behind another car at night?

When driving closely behind another car at night, you should turn on the low beam headlights. The hazards of improper use of lights during night driving: When driving at night, high beams can cause temporary blindness to oncoming drivers. The duration of this blindness varies depending on the driver's own vision and surrounding environment, but it typically lasts at least 2 seconds. Poor visibility at night means the human eye's ability to judge the speed of oncoming vehicles is compromised. In such conditions, the interference from high beams further reduces this judgment capability. When a following vehicle uses high beams, large areas of glare appear in all three rearview mirrors of the leading vehicle, significantly reducing the driver's view of the road ahead. If the leading vehicle attempts to change lanes or turn at this moment, it becomes impossible to observe the situation behind through the rearview mirrors.

How Long Does It Take to Get License Plates After Vehicle Inspection?

Generally, it takes 5-7 days to receive the license plates after the vehicle inspection. The specific details are as follows: Typically, after completing the inspection, the vehicle owner can proceed to the new vehicle service hall to handle the relevant license plate registration procedures. The exact time required depends on the region and the volume of applicants. In some regions with high efficiency and fewer applicants, license plates can be obtained on the same day, as the production of license plates only takes about half an hour. However, for vehicle management offices with a high volume of applicants or lower efficiency, it may take 5-7 working days to receive the license plates. Relevant information is as follows: Normally, after completing the license plate registration procedures at the vehicle management office, the vehicle registration certificate information can usually be queried the next day, as the vehicle registration certificate is typically issued together with the license plates. Although theoretically, the vehicle registration certificate can only be processed after the license plates are installed (since it requires a photo of the vehicle with the license plates), in today's era of big data, vehicle management office staff often use photo editing to superimpose the license plates onto the vehicle photo to allow users to drive their new vehicles legally and conveniently as soon as possible.
