ETC can be applied for at bank branches, expressway service areas, and other institutions. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card must also be provided. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a Postal Savings credit card application form is required, as this credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, you can swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a personal vehicle. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which means an electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopied versions of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is made by someone other than the owner, the agent's valid ID card must also be provided. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting expressway toll fees is also required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a personal vehicle. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply inclined 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 spots. Installing it on the right side behind the rearview mirror can help avoid obstructing the view. Avoid affecting 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 that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper 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. 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 the same device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front malfunctioning, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

What is the Difference Between Shock Absorbers and Suspension?

Suspension and shock absorbers are not the same type. Shock absorbers are a component within the suspension system. Shock absorbers, also known as dampers, serve as the vehicle's cushioning device. The suspension system refers to the entire support system composed of springs and shock absorbers between the body and the tires. The main differences lie in the following three aspects: 1. Different Functions: The suspension's role is to support the vehicle body and provide vibration damping. Shock absorbers are divided into spring shocks and hydraulic shocks, with the primary function of damping vibrations. Hydraulic shock absorbers. 2. Different Structures: A typical suspension system mainly includes elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, and shock absorbers. Shock absorbers are broadly categorized into two types: spring shocks and hydraulic shocks. 3. Different Designs: A common design feature of the MacPherson suspension is its simple structure, lightweight, and compact size, which results in faster response and rebound speeds, making the suspension's damping capability relatively stronger. Shock absorbers are divided into spring shocks and hydraulic shocks. Due to the physical properties of springs, they deform under force and oscillate back and forth, which can translate into a bouncy feeling in the car, but springs are low-cost and can bear heavy loads. Hydraulic shocks offer smoother and more stable damping, though they have a relatively lower load capacity and higher cost.

What does 'T' mean in small cars?

The 'T' on a car indicates that the vehicle's engine is equipped with a turbocharger. Here is some information about engines: 1. Introduction: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The first external combustion engine was invented by R. Stirling in 1816 in the UK (Scotland), which was later improved by Watt into the steam engine. 2. Classification: Engine types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines and steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), and electric motors. 3. Displacement: Let's first look at one of the most common engine parameters—engine displacement. Engine displacement is the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine, usually measured in liters (L).

How to Deal with Wiper Noise and Scratches?

For scratches caused by wiper noise, you can use a metal cloth specifically designed for glass to wipe away the marks; for more severe marks, you can visit a professional 4S shop and use specialized glass repair equipment. Applying a layer of glass film can help prevent the glass from being scratched, and you can also replace the wiper with a frameless one. More details are as follows: 1. The wiper mainly uses rubber strips to scrape the glass. If there is no water or insufficient water on the glass, dry friction between the rubber strips and the glass can easily damage the rubber strips of the wiper. Therefore, the wiper should be used on rainy days or with windshield washer fluid. 2. Before getting into the car, it's best to clean any debris, dust, leaves, etc., on the wiper. Most damage to the wiper and scratches on the windshield are caused by these debris. Try to avoid dry wiping of the wiper, and always spray windshield washer fluid each time you activate the wiper. Refill the washer fluid promptly when it runs low. 3. After using windshield washer fluid, it can quickly remove stubborn dirt, oil stains, and rain residue from the windshield, forming a protective film to prevent the adhesion of dust and oil. This makes the wiper blade glide more smoothly and quietly, keeping the driving view clear and bright, and also gently protecting the wiper blade.
