According to the ETC device instructions, unauthorized removal of the ETC electronic tag (OBU), OBU device power failure, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag may cause the ETC electronic tag to become invalid. Below is the reactivation process for ETC: 1. Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On". If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. 2. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, open the app mini-program (please download the corresponding mobile app based on the brand of the electronic tag, usually with a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. 3. Then click "Device Connection", select the device model to be connected, and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. 4. After successful connection, follow the prompts to verify and upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. Wait for a review period of 3-5 days; after approval, you can use it normally.

How to Prevent Carbon Buildup in Cars?

Avoiding carbon buildup in cars can be achieved through the following methods: 1. Use high-quality fuel: Impurities such as paraffin and gum in fuel are the main components of carbon buildup. Therefore, cleaner fuel has a weaker tendency to form carbon deposits. Always choose reputable gas stations when refueling to ensure relatively better fuel quality. It's important to note that high quality does not mean high octane rating; the octane number only represents the gasoline's resistance to knocking, not its quality or cleanliness. 2. Avoid prolonged idling: Extended idling increases the time it takes for the engine to reach normal operating temperature, slowing the evaporation of gasoline sprayed onto the back of the intake valves, which leads to carbon buildup. Additionally, frequent idling reduces the airflow into the engine, weakening the scouring effect on carbon deposits and promoting their accumulation. 3. Drive at high speeds more often: Carbon buildup mainly occurs when the engine runs at low RPMs, resulting from incomplete fuel combustion. This is especially common in urban traffic congestion. At high speeds, the engine operates at higher RPMs, and the movement of the pistons accelerates, which can help shake off internal carbon deposits and expel carbon residue from the exhaust. 4. Change the engine oil promptly: Engine oil is crucial for the car's engine, and timely oil changes offer significant benefits, such as improving engine lubrication and inhibiting carbon buildup inside the engine. Therefore, always change the oil on time and ensure its quality.

Why Is It Hard to Start a Car in Winter?

Reasons why it's hard to start a car in winter: 1. Insufficient battery power; 2. Poor oil fluidity; 3. Frozen exhaust pipe; 4. Faulty temperature sensor; 5. Aging spark plugs. Solutions: 1. Charge or replace the battery; 2. Replace with low-temperature fluidity oil; 3. Use professional tools to remove ice from the exhaust pipe; 4. Sensors need to be replaced at a professional 4S shop. For aging spark plugs, the car can usually start after repeated ignition attempts. The lifespan of resistor spark plugs is 20,000 kilometers, platinum spark plugs last 40,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs last 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Does Cold Start in Winter Consume More Fuel?

Cold start in winter consumes more fuel. When starting the car in winter, there may be difficulties in ignition. Frequent starting attempts by the owner can increase fuel consumption and also damage the car battery to some extent, potentially reducing its lifespan. Reasons for difficulty in cold start: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine can absorb the fuel sprayed during cold start, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture during ignition and causing difficulty in starting the vehicle. Owners need to manage carbon deposits to avoid starting difficulties and ensure normal vehicle use. 2. Battery discharge or insufficient power: When the car battery is discharged or has insufficient power, starting difficulties are likely to occur, especially in low-temperature environments. The high concentration of electrolyte in the battery increases internal resistance, leading to a drop in current. Additionally, the battery's power storage capacity decreases in cold conditions, making it prone to insufficient power. Cars parked for extended periods particularly require battery checks.

Should ETC be activated or installed first?

ETC should be installed first and then activated. The installation process of the ETC device on the windshield is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually a download QR code is provided on the electronic tag). Navigate to the device activation interface. Click "Connect Device" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete the activation.

Can You Make a U-Turn on a Single Yellow Line on the Road?

A single yellow line, if solid, strictly prohibits crossing for actions like overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross the line unless under special circumstances. If the single yellow line is dashed, you may overtake or make a U-turn as long as it is safe to do so. Circumstances under which a U-turn is permitted include: Presence of a U-turn signal or sign: If there is a traffic signal allowing U-turns at an intersection, you may make a U-turn when the U-turn signal is green. If there is a U-turn sign or a lane marking indicating U-turns, you may proceed with a U-turn after ensuring the safety of yourself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition signs for U-turns): At intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns, vehicles may make a U-turn. It is important to note that the maneuver should not disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles and must follow the left-turn signal. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you may first enter the waiting area when the straight signal is green and proceed with the U-turn once the left-turn signal turns green. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether the dashed line is white or yellow, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed, check if your side is the dashed line. If it is, you may make a U-turn if safe; if it is solid, U-turns are not allowed.
