ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. ETC can be applied for at bank branches, highway service areas, and other institutions. The following documents are required: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also needed. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway toll fees is required. The applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under the individual's name. Regarding ETC installation precautions: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply angled windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Avoid affecting charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by the vehicle ahead's ETC device malfunctioning, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic toll deduction for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; exceeding this speed may result in failed fee deduction due to unreadable vehicle information. If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause deduction failure. Precautions for using the ETC card: Before passing through an ETC toll gate, ensure the ETC card is correctly inserted into the OBU (On-Board Unit). During driving, bumps may loosen the card, so check it promptly and reinsert it if necessary. The ETC card is vehicle-specific and cannot be swapped arbitrarily after being bound to a vehicle. Before using ETC, check the fee information displayed on the dedicated lane sign. If the card balance is insufficient, recharge it promptly. If the barrier does not lift when passing through an ETC lane, follow the instructions of toll station staff or switch to a manual toll lane. If the ETC lane is temporarily closed, use the manual toll lane for payment. The speed limit for ETC lanes is 20 km/h, and a minimum distance of 5 meters should be maintained from the vehicle ahead. If an ETC vehicle receives a toll card in a manual toll lane, it cannot use the ETC lane upon exiting the highway and must use the manual toll lane instead.

What are the body dimensions of the Buick New LaCrosse?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Buick New LaCrosse are 5030mm/1866mm/1467mm, which are official data. The length of the Buick New LaCrosse refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The turbocharged engine of the Buick New LaCrosse has a maximum power of 174kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 1500-4000 rpm. It is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with an automatic manual transmission (AT). The state has relevant regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89" issued, the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data lies in providing enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the state stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of relevant public roads.

How to Replace the Small Rubber Bushing on the Magotan's Lower Control Arm?

Method for replacing the small rubber bushing on the Magotan's lower control arm is as follows: 1. First, remove the car's suspension and then take off the tire. 2. Next, remove the associated screws one by one that are used for replacing the lower control arm bushing. 3. Then, use tools to knock out the old lower control arm bushing so it can be removed. 4. Finally, press the new one into place and reverse the removal steps to reassemble everything. Additional Information: The main function of the car's lower control arm is to guide and support the suspension. Its deformation affects wheel alignment and reduces driving stability. If there is an issue with the front control arm, symptoms may include steering wheel shaking, the car pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released, and difficulty controlling direction at high speeds. If these symptoms are not obvious, it may not be necessary to replace the bushing; instead, performing a four-wheel alignment to stabilize the direction may suffice.

Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift to Neutral First After Parking?

After parking, you should engage the handbrake first and then shift to neutral. Below is the correct parking sequence: 1. After pulling the handbrake, the car will be secured and immobile. 2. Shifting to neutral prevents the car from moving or stalling when the engine is running. 3. Release the clutch first to prevent the car from moving if the clutch is released without shifting to neutral, especially when the engine is on and neither the handbrake nor the foot brake is engaged. 4. After turning off the engine, shift into first gear to prevent the car from moving in case the handbrake cable breaks or the slope is too steep; the first gear will lock the car in place. Additional Information: The handbrake, technically known as an auxiliary brake, operates differently from the main brake system. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation, which is irreversible. Over time, this reduces the handbrake's effectiveness and increases its travel distance.

Where is the oil filter of the Lynk & Co 03 located?

The oil filter of the Lynk & Co 03 is located underneath the engine compartment. It is relatively troublesome to remove the oil filter, as the vehicle needs to be lifted. Relevant details are as follows: 1. When replacing the oil filter, it is best to go to a repair shop or a 4S store and ask professionals to handle it to avoid unnecessary trouble. Generally speaking, when the car has driven about 5,000 kilometers, the oil filter should be replaced once. 2. The main function of the oil filter is to prevent foreign impurities from entering the oil, thereby avoiding any impact on the oil's lubrication, cleaning, and cooling effects, thus allowing the engine to work better. 3. For cars, when changing the oil, the same type of oil should also be replaced. Oils of different brands and grades cannot be mixed, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the engine. 4. When checking the oil, the car must be parked on a flat and hard road surface. After wiping the oil clean, observe it again, so that the measurement of the remaining oil quantity is more accurate. 5. When adding oil to the car, the engine must be cooled to the natural temperature, otherwise it will cause safety hazards.
