ETC can be processed at bank branches, highway service areas, and other institutions. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopied valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. If processed by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A credit card application form is needed to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS slip to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be aged 18 to 60 and own a vehicle registered under their name. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. Here are some considerations for installing ETC: Avoid obstructing the driver's view; it's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the windshield's blackened areas or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The adhesive in the middle has an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once installed, the windshield presses the lever in. If removed, the lever pops out, triggering the switch and locking the electronic tag, rendering it unusable. You would then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle ahead due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of over 10 meters. The ETC lane recognizes speeds of up to 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failed fee deductions. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause deduction failures.

Why Does an Automatic Transmission Car Shake When Starting?

Reasons why an automatic transmission car shakes when starting: 1. Insufficient engine temperature: When starting a cold engine, the temperature inside the engine is similar to the surrounding environment, which is not ideal for engine operation. In low temperatures, fuel atomization is poor, leading to reduced ignition energy and consequently affecting the vehicle's power performance, causing shaking. This phenomenon is more common in winter. Therefore, parking the car in a garage during winter can help alleviate engine shaking. 2. Incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio: During a cold start, the engine oil viscosity is high, and various components are not fully lubricated, making it prone to an incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio. The car's computer may misjudge this, reducing power output and resulting in shaking. 3. Carbon buildup in the engine: Carbon buildup is one of the significant causes of cold-start shaking. During daily driving, varying driving conditions and habits can lead to different levels of carbon deposits. Excessive carbon buildup on the valves and intake manifold can make cold starts difficult and may cause insufficient power or even stalling while driving. If the carbon buildup is severe, it should be cleaned promptly. If you cannot handle it yourself, you can visit a 4S shop for professional assistance.

How to Deal with Severe Engine Shaking?

Methods to handle severe engine shaking:1. Observe the engine operation condition and the degree of shaking, while also checking the swing amplitude of the engine tachometer needle to see if it deviates from the idle expectation value. If it deviates, the car engine will definitely shake, and the idle expectation value needs to be adjusted. 2. Check if there are any abnormalities in the engine external components. If there are, professional repair or replacement is needed. 3. Check if the vacuum tube is detached or damaged. If these parts are compromised, the car engine will also shake, and it's best to replace them. 4. Check if the wire connectors are loose. Loose wires can also cause engine shaking, and simply tightening them can solve the issue. 5. Check for any oil, water, air, or electricity leaks (the four leaks). Any of these leaks can cause engine shaking, so it's important to stop the leak promptly. 6. Check if the exhaust pipe emits black smoke or has a raw gasoline smell, which are abnormal phenomena. These abnormalities can lead to engine shaking, so timely repair is necessary if they occur. 7. Check if the throttle cable is properly adjusted. Improper adjustment can also cause engine shaking, and the throttle cable needs to be adjusted to the correct position.

In which year was China 5 implemented?

China 5, the fifth-stage national motor vehicle emission standard, was implemented nationwide from January 1, 2017. The emission control level of the China 5 standard is equivalent to the fifth-stage emission standard implemented in Europe. The European Union has been enforcing it since 2009, with stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and suspended particles compared to the China 4 standard. More details are as follows: 1. From China I to China IV, each upgrade in the standard reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. Additionally, starting from April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light gasoline, light diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (only for public transportation, sanitation, and postal purposes) in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region must comply with the China 5 emission standard. 2. The motor vehicle pollutant emission standards are formulated to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent pollution from vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. 3. Compared to the China 4 standard, the China 5 standard reduces harmful gas emissions such as nitrogen oxides by 43% for heavy-duty vehicles and by 25% for new standard light-duty vehicles, significantly improving the environment and benefiting everyone's health.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 1.6L engine?

For a 1.6L displacement family sedan, a fuel consumption of around 8L per 100 kilometers is considered normal, while a consumption of approximately 7L per 100 kilometers is considered fuel-efficient. For a 1.8L displacement family sedan, a fuel consumption of around 9L per 100 kilometers is considered normal, while a consumption of approximately 8L per 100 kilometers is considered fuel-efficient. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Theoretical calculation of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Generally, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers provided by manufacturers is a theoretical value. It refers to the value measured by the dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis under objective environmental conditions, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated at a specified speed to derive the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Practical calculation of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: In practice, the method to calculate fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as follows: X/100=50/600, where X is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers being calculated, 50 on the right side of the equation refers to 50L of fuel consumption, and 600 refers to the vehicle traveling 600 kilometers. Simply put, the vehicle consumes 50L of fuel over 600 kilometers. Solving the equation: X is approximately 8.33, so the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for this vehicle is about 8.33L.

What is the difference between 2.0t and 2.0l?

The differences between 2.0t and 2.0l are as follows: 1. Different engines: 2.0l refers to a vehicle equipped with a 2.0L displacement naturally aspirated engine; while 2.0t refers to a vehicle equipped with a 2.0L displacement turbocharged engine. 2. Different power performance: The power output of 2.0l is relatively smooth, with slower acceleration; while 2.0t has a larger air intake, resulting in faster acceleration within 100 kilometers, but relatively higher fuel consumption. 3. Different stability performance: The naturally aspirated engine is more stable during power output, and acceleration does not produce a strong sense of push-back due to speed, making it overall smoother. However, the 2.0T turbocharged engine tends to be more aggressive, and its stability is inferior to the naturally aspirated engine due to the turbocharger. 4. Different maintenance costs: It should be noted that the 2.0T turbocharged engine is more troublesome in terms of later maintenance. Both types of engines may consume oil, but the turbocharged engine is more obvious in this regard and has higher fuel consumption. Therefore, the maintenance cost of the turbocharged engine is also higher.
