ETC can be processed at bank branches, highway service areas, and other institutions. The application requires the original and photocopies 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 must also be provided. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. 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, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to receive 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 the vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. The application requires the original and photocopies 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 must also be provided. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway toll fees is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. Here are some considerations 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. Install it behind the right side of the rearview mirror to 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, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that might 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 avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its ETC device malfunction, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds up to 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failed fee deductions due to unreadable device information. If a debit card is used to bind the ETC, insufficient balance may also cause fee deduction failures.

Do new energy vehicles consume electricity quickly on highways?

New energy vehicles consume electricity quickly on highways. Reasons for high electricity consumption: Both new energy vehicles and fuel-powered vehicles need to overcome two forces during driving: ground friction and air resistance. The ground friction on highways remains relatively constant, but air resistance increases with speed. To be precise, both new energy vehicles and fuel-powered vehicles require more energy as speed increases. Methods to reduce electricity consumption for new energy vehicles: Maintain a moderately low speed; Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration; Keep windows closed when driving at high speeds; Avoid driving on poor road conditions; Use the air conditioning system in recirculation mode as much as possible; Control the load; Reduce the use of high beams; Charge and maintain the vehicle regularly; Pay attention to tire pressure; Monitor battery operating temperature; Regularly maintain the lubrication system.

What does 'vehicle not powered off' mean?

When the dashboard displays 'vehicle not powered off', it usually means the key is still inserted in the ignition when exiting the vehicle. This warning appears when the key remains in the ignition with power on, and the driver unfastens the seatbelt and opens the driver's door. Here are specific reasons: 1. Forgetting to turn off other electrical devices after engine shutdown: To protect the battery, the system will display this warning if lights, audio systems, or other electrical devices remain on after turning off the engine, indicating the vehicle hasn't been fully powered down. 2. Vehicle not in P gear or key not removed: If the warning appears, it could mean the transmission isn't shifted to P position or the ignition key hasn't been removed.

Will car parts be swapped when getting a new car tinted?

The possibility of car parts being swapped when getting a new car tinted exists, but it's very small. Reasons for this judgment: Cars shouldn't stay overnight at repair shops because parts might be swapped. This isn't groundless speculation - there have been actual cases reported in the news. For example, an Audi repair cost over 100,000 yuan with many old parts being swapped, and the famous case of adding sugar to oil filters to increase repair costs. How to prevent part swapping: It's recommended to mark key car parts, record their serial numbers, and take photos; use seals on the engine hood, trunk lid, and doors; when the 4S shop prepares parts for maintenance, request to unseal them in your presence.
