The method for handling the originally installed ETC after selling the car is: First, unbind the originally registered ETC card, then take the ETC device to the bank branch where it was originally registered to complete the cancellation procedures. ETC is an Electronic Toll Collection system, also known as an Automatic Road Toll System, specifically designed for toll roads. It is commonly used on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain sections of urban roads to alleviate traffic congestion. The method for removing the ETC device is: 1. Use a hairdryer to heat the contact surface between the ETC device and the glass to soften the adhesive, then gently remove it; 2. Soak a towel in hot water and apply it to the adhesive tape on the back of the device to heat it; 3. Use a scraper to remove the adhesive tape and take off the device.

Don't overlook the ETC device when selling your car. I've personally experienced this - I contacted the ETC issuing bank in advance, brought my ID card and ETC card to the branch to cancel the service, and the process went smoothly with staff patiently helping me unbind the account. If you don't want to make a trip, you can also handle it online through the official app, saving time and effort. Remember to be careful when removing the device to avoid damaging the windshield, or you'll have to pay for repairs. After dealing with it, I realized this not only prevents personal information leakage but also stops the new car owner from accidentally misusing your ETC card. When I bought a new car later, I directly transferred the ETC - it was seamless. I recommend everyone do this; protecting your rights is quite important, especially when it involves money - you can't afford to be careless.

Do You Need to Wait for the Engine Coolant Temperature to Rise Before Turning on the AC in Summer?

You do not need to wait for the engine coolant temperature to rise before turning on the AC in summer. Below are the specific reasons for low engine coolant temperature: 1. Thermostat malfunction: If the valve fails to close, the coolant will continuously circulate in the large loop, which may result in low engine coolant temperature. Alternatively, some vehicles may have their thermostats removed during summer to lower the temperature when it gets too high, leading to low engine coolant temperature. In such cases, the thermostat needs to be inspected and possibly replaced. 2. Constant operation of the cooling fan: For electric fans, circuit malfunctions can cause the fan to run continuously. Similarly, a faulty silicone oil clutch can also lead to constant fan operation. These issues can both cause low engine coolant temperature.

What should you do when turning in a manual transmission car?

Manual transmission turning operation steps: 1. First, pay attention to observing road signs and slow down early. At road and traffic intersections, there will be overhead road guidance signs on one side of the road. When turning, you must follow the road prompts and slow down as early as possible. 2. Pay attention to choosing the correct lane to enter the turning position according to the signs. Never change driving direction temporarily, and do not change driving route after entering solid lines. 3. When turning, pay attention to observing the road ahead while also taking into account blind spots on both sides, so as to have a clear idea. 4. If the speed is fast, you can press the clutch, apply slight braking, adjust the gear to a low gear, use inertia to drive slowly, and when the speed drops to a suitable gear speed, release the clutch pedal and drive at normal speed.

What Does the Semicircular Mark Mean?

The semicircular mark is a distance confirmation line. Related introduction: 1. Description: White parallel thick solid lines, used to provide drivers with a reference for maintaining a safe driving distance, used in conjunction with distance confirmation signs. They are installed in sections where overtaking frequently occurs, accidents are prone to happen, or other necessary areas. The function of the highway distance confirmation marking is to remind drivers to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front when seeing this marking, to avoid traffic accidents. 2. Extension: The white zigzag distance confirmation line has a total width of 300cm, with line widths of 40cm or 45cm. Starting from the confirmation base point at 0m, one line is set every 5 meters, with two lines forming a group, spaced 50m apart, repeated in five groups. Multiple groups can also be set up on-site as needed.

What are the brands of China VI vehicle urea?

China VI vehicle urea brands include Kelas and Kunlun Star. The origin and current status of vehicle urea: As environmental protection departments in various countries have proposed further reductions in nitrogen oxide pollutants emitted by diesel engines (commonly known as the Euro IV standard in China), engine manufacturers began adopting SCR technology to meet environmental requirements. Diesel exhaust fluid (commonly referred to as vehicle urea or automotive environmental urea in China) is a consumable essential for SCR technology. In fact, Europe implemented this policy as early as 2006, where diesel exhaust fluid is called AdBlue, with major representatives including BP. Usage of vehicle urea: Vehicles are equipped with a dedicated urea tank where the urea is stored. Urea is consumed as long as the vehicle is running, so it must be replenished promptly. Generally, about 4 liters of urea are consumed per 100 liters of diesel, though this varies depending on engine displacement, model, manufacturer, road conditions, and load. Usage methods and precautions for vehicle urea: Regularly check the urea solution level in the urea tank and replenish it in time. The usage ratio of vehicle urea solution is 4%-6% of diesel consumption. Estimate the required urea solution based on your trip and carry sufficient barrel urea if necessary. When refilling vehicle urea solution, use a dedicated filling pipe to prevent contamination. After filling, tighten the urea tank cap to avoid pollutants from the air entering, which could cause urea deterioration or crystallization. Vehicle urea solution is alkaline and somewhat corrosive. Avoid contact with metals (except stainless steel), as these materials can react with trace ammonia in the urea solution, generating compounds that affect SCR performance.

Is Anhui Gasoline Ethanol Gasoline?

Not all gasoline in Anhui is ethanol gasoline. Related information: 1. The difference between ethanol gasoline and regular gasoline: Ethanol gasoline is gasoline blended with ethanol, with varying proportions in different countries. Ethanol gasoline is distinguished from regular gasoline by the letter E before the octane number. For example, regular 93# gasoline is labeled as E93# for ethanol gasoline. Internationally, E10 is commonly used to denote ethanol gasoline with 10% ethanol content, while E20 and E85 represent ethanol gasoline with 20% and 85% ethanol content, respectively. 2. Disadvantages of ethanol gasoline: Lower heat value than regular gasoline, resulting in reduced power. It is prone to deterioration, with a general shelf life of about 20 days. It easily absorbs moisture, leading to separation where water and ethanol settle at the bottom, causing abnormal engine operation. It also causes swelling of rubber components in fuel lines and affects fuel pump level sensors.

What is the Basic Principle of Car Movement?

The basic principle of car movement is that the torque from the engine is transmitted through the drivetrain to apply a driving torque on the drive wheels, attempting to make them rotate. Below are some key points to note for car movement: 1. Normal roads: There is no specific requirement for the gear; you can drive normally by keeping the car in D (Drive) mode. 2. Parking: When the engine stops, shift the gear to P (Park) to indicate the car is no longer in use. Some cars require shifting to P to remove the key. 3. Reversing: After the car stops moving forward, shift to R (Reverse) and gently release the brake to move backward. 4. Waiting or driving in traffic: You can shift to N (Neutral). 5. Highways or overtaking: You can shift to S (Sport) mode. S mode is the car's sport setting, allowing free gear changes like D mode. It is also useful for climbing hills, as it provides maximum torque output and acceleration.
