A dash cam should be installed below the interior rearview mirror and connected to it, or mounted on the back of the interior rearview mirror. After installation, adjust the angle from the driver's position. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel. Installing a dash cam in a car allows for the recording of the entire driving process, including video and audio, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents. The basic components of a dash cam include: 1. The main unit; 2. A speed sensor; 3. Data analysis software; 4. An infrared camera. To turn the dash cam on or off, press and hold the power button. It automatically turns on when connected to a charger and delays for 5 seconds before automatically turning off when the charger is disconnected by the owner.

How to Turn On TRC When It's Off?

If the car displays that TRC is off, the owner can turn off the engine and then restart it to automatically activate TRC. Here are some related details: 1. The TRC system refers to the Traction Control System. 2. TRC is a term specifically used for Toyota models. It is designed to effectively maintain driving force and prevent the drive wheels from spinning when starting or accelerating on slippery roads, thereby enhancing driving safety to some extent. 3. Driving is not affected when the TRC system is turned off. However, the engine will not reduce power output if the wheels slip, which may cause the drive wheels to spin on wet or slippery surfaces. 4. As an auxiliary driving system, TRC helps improve driving stability. Therefore, it is generally recommended not to turn off the TRC system under normal driving conditions. However, if the vehicle is stuck in mud, sludge, or snow, the owner can manually turn off TRC to increase the engine's power output to the wheels, helping the vehicle escape from being stuck.

Why can't the c1122 trouble code be cleared?

c1122 trouble code needs to be inspected and repaired at a 4S shop before it can be cleared. Below is more information about the c1122 trouble code: 1. The c1122 trouble code refers to a fault in the right front body acceleration sensor. 2. As the information source for automotive electronic control systems, the vehicle speed sensor is a critical component and one of the core research areas in automotive electronic technology. 3. The speed sensor detects the vehicle speed for the electronic control system. The control computer uses this input signal to regulate engine idle speed, torque converter lock-up in automatic transmissions, automatic transmission shifting, engine cooling fan operation, cruise control, and other functions.

What are the functions and roles of car wax?

Here are the main functions of car wax: 1. Waterproofing effect. Cars are often exposed to the air and inevitably subjected to wind and rain. High-end car wax can further flatten water droplets remaining on the paint surface, minimizing dark spots, erosion, and damage caused by the focusing effect of strong sunlight on the droplets. 2. High-temperature resistance. The high-temperature resistance of car wax effectively reflects incident light from different directions, preventing it from penetrating the clear coat and causing the primer to age and discolor, thereby extending the paint's lifespan. 3. UV protection. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can easily refract into the paint surface. UV-protective car wax fully considers the characteristics of UV rays, minimizing their damage to the car's surface. 4. Anti-static effect. The anti-static function of car wax mainly isolates friction between air, dust, and the car's paint surface. Waxing not only effectively prevents static electricity on the car's surface but also significantly reduces the adhesion of charged dust. 5. Cleaning and polishing effect. Polishing is one of the most basic functions of car wax. Waxed vehicles can improve the smoothness of their paint surface to varying degrees, restoring the car's original bright appearance. 6. Grinding and polishing effect. When shallow scratches appear on the car's paint surface, polishing wax can be used. If the scratches are not severe, polishing and waxing can be completed in one step.

What does 102h on a tire mean?

The 102h on a tire represents the following: 102 indicates the tire's load index, corresponding to a maximum single-tire load of 850kg. H represents the tire's speed rating, with H corresponding to a maximum speed of 210km/h. Below is a detailed explanation of the tire: 1. Tire model identification method, for example, a tire marked as 195/65-R15-88H: 1. Tire width of 195mm. 2. Aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%. 3. Wheel diameter of 15 inches. 4. Load index of 88. 5. Speed rating of H. 2. The maximum load capacity is indicated by the load index. The relationship between common load indices (LI) and actual load values (kg) is as follows: 1. 100 corresponds to a maximum single-tire load of 800kg. 2. 101 corresponds to a maximum single-tire load of 825kg. 3. 102 corresponds to a maximum single-tire load of 850kg. 4. 103 corresponds to a maximum single-tire load of 875kg. 3. Tires are marked with speed limit symbols, represented by letters such as P, R, S, T, H, V, Z, etc., indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under defined conditions: 1. Q-160 km/h. 2. R-170 km/h. 3. S-180 km/h.

What is the best location to install ETC?

The ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle 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 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have been retrofitted with anti-explosion film, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, and should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license 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. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original driving license of the vehicle; The vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered when installing the ETC, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced, as there is a solar panel on its back that can charge itself. Therefore, when installing, avoid the black area on the windshield and do not install it in a position that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it casually once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal guide rod, connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal guide rod in. If it is removed casually, the anti-removal guide rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and making it unusable. You will need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.
