The installation location for large vehicles such as trucks and buses is in the middle-lower part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is processed by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many vehicle models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black 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-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then 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 prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to toll deduction failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failure.

How many kilometers can you exceed the 80 km/h speed limit on the highway?

Exceeding 80 km/h in an 80 km/h speed limit zone is considered speeding. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 42 Motor vehicles driving on the road shall not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed shall be maintained. When driving at night or on road sections prone to danger, or under weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or icy roads, the driving speed shall be reduced. Additional content on the dangers of speeding: 1. Impact on vehicle operating conditions Long-term speeding can lead to poor vehicle operating conditions, increasing the likelihood of tire, braking system, and steering system failures. Without regular maintenance and timely fault resolution, it can easily induce traffic accidents. 2. Increased risk of losing control and rollover during turns Speeding vehicles are often in a state of changing lanes and overtaking, each overtaking maneuver creating conflict points with surrounding vehicles, exacerbating safety hazards for both the speeding vehicle and others. If encountering obstacles or sharp turns, the vehicle is more prone to losing control or even rolling over, and the consequences of collisions can be more severe.

Why Do License Plates Fall Off When Wading Through Water?

When a vehicle drives on a waterlogged road, water hits the bumper and surges upward upon encountering resistance, eventually squeezing into the gap between the license plate and the bumper. This means the license plate is subjected to an outward pushing force. As the vehicle moves forward, the license plate also faces resistance from the water coming from the front. Under the pushing force, the license plate is pried outward, while under the resistance, it is pressed back toward the vehicle body. This repeated action causes a license plate secured with only two screws to sway back and forth and eventually fall off. Additional Information: 1. Number of License Plate Fasteners: According to the "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation," each license plate of a newly manufactured motor vehicle should have four installation holes. Metal license plates should be equipped with fasteners that meet the GA804 requirements, unless vehicle conditions prevent their installation. Special fasteners for motor vehicle license plates should be used, ensuring they are complete and securely installed. 2. Replacing a License Plate: Currently, the Municipal Vehicle Management Office and its branches have adopted a "one-window" service model. At any service window of the Municipal Vehicle Management Office and its branches, vehicle owners can complete the license plate replacement process by presenting their ID card. They can choose to pick up the new license plate in person or have it mailed to their home.

What is the speed limit on highways in kilometers per hour?

Generally, the economical speed for economy cars is 60-80 kilometers per hour, while mid-to-high-end cars have an economical speed of 80-90 kilometers per hour. On regular roads, cars typically travel at around 60 kilometers per hour, whereas on highways, the speed is approximately 100 kilometers per hour, with a legal maximum of 120 kilometers per hour. Additional information: Upon entering the highway, vehicles should accelerate to at least 60 kilometers per hour as soon as possible. Driving too slowly can lead to rear-end collisions. Key points: 1. Speed limits: Highways must indicate lane speed limits, with a maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and a minimum speed not below 60 kilometers per hour. 2. Vehicle type requirements: On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, while other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 3. Lane requirements: For two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed in the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour. For three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed in the far-left lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the middle lane's minimum speed is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed limit indicated by road signs differs from these lane speed regulations, drivers must adhere to the speed limit specified by the road signs.

What are the reasons why the Wuling Hongguang Mini cannot start?

There are many reasons that may cause a vehicle to fail to start, and it is recommended to troubleshoot the problem in a timely manner. Below is a detailed analysis of the specific reasons for a car's failure to start: 1. Battery depletion: When the voltage during startup is lower than the minimum operating voltage required by the computer, the engine computer does not work, preventing the car from starting. In this case, the battery should be charged or replaced. 2. Spark plug failure to ignite: Spark plugs themselves are prone to damage, and issues like short circuits in high-voltage lines can cause spark plugs to fail to ignite. Additionally, poor-quality spark plugs are another reason for failure to start normally. In such cases, it is recommended to replace the spark plugs. 3. Starting circuit malfunction: During startup, there is only a slight 'click' sound with no further response, which is caused by a stuck starting relay. In this situation, pressing the tail of the electromagnet to force it forward can connect the starting circuit, thereby enabling the engine to start. 4. Use of inferior engine oil: During cold starts, factors such as cylinder pressure, rotation speed, and temperature can make it difficult for inferior engine oil to ignite, leading to failure to start. It is recommended to use the engine oil recommended by the manufacturer or a higher-quality full synthetic oil.

How much over the speed limit is driving at 140 km/h?

Depending on the speed limit of the highway, driving at 140 km/h results in different percentages of speeding, as detailed below: 1. If the highway speed limit is 120 km/h, driving at 140 km/h is 17% over the limit. Calculation: (140-120) ÷120x100%=17%. 2. If the highway speed limit is 110 km/h, driving at 140 km/h is 27% over the limit. Calculation: (140-110) ÷110x100%=27%. 3. If the highway speed limit is 100 km/h, driving at 140 km/h is 40% over the limit. Calculation: (140-100) ÷100x100%=40%. 4. If the highway speed limit is 90 km/h, driving at 140 km/h is 55% over the limit. Calculation: (140-90) ÷90x100%=55%. 5. If the highway speed limit is 80 km/h, driving at 140 km/h is 75% over the limit. Calculation: (140-80) ÷80x100%=75%. 6. If the highway speed limit is 60 km/h, driving at 140 km/h is 133% over the limit. Calculation: (140-60) ÷60x100%=133%.

What does Emergency Lane Keeping mean?

Emergency Lane Keeping System intervenes more actively in the driving path only when an emergency situation is detected. Introduction to Lane Keeping Assist System: Lane Keeping, fully known as Lane Keeping Assist System, is a type of intelligent driving assistance system. When the vehicle deviates from the recognized lane markings, the steering wheel will vibrate, and the vehicle will alert the driver with a "beep" sound to pay attention to safe driving. Function of Lane Keeping Assist System: The Lane Keeping Assist System helps correct the driving path when the vehicle gradually deviates from the lane. Typically, the system will issue a warning to the driver to correct the driving path; however, these systems will also slightly steer the vehicle to prevent it from continuing to deviate from the lane.
