If the damaged area is large, metal sheet repair takes a long time and is not particularly expensive, whereas cutting repairs are more costly but take less time. Here is some additional information: 1. Metal Sheet Repair: If a car has been scratched or collided with, and the damaged area has not folded, the edges have not deformed, and the area requiring metal sheet work is not too large, it is recommended to opt for metal sheet repair. The cost is low, and if the subsequent putty repair is done well, the damaged area will not differ much from the rest. 2. Cutting Repair: If the damaged area is large, severely broken, or deformed, it is advisable to perform a cutting repair to replace the metal sheet part. Although cutting affects the car's resale value, as long as the welding is done well and the repair is smooth, the car's performance will be better guaranteed.

What to do if the ETC is installed upside down?

ETC cannot be moved once it is stuck in place. Once the ETC is removed from the car's windshield, it can no longer be used and must be reactivated by a professional. You can go to the original installation point or the provincial expressway ETC service center to have it reinstalled and reactivated before it can be used normally in the ETC-dedicated lane. This is because there is a button on the back of the ETC. Once removed, the button will automatically pop out, and the information inside the ETC will be cleared, rendering it unusable. Where can ETC be installed: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the OBU device should be installed on the upper-middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, it should be installed on the lower-middle part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).

What Does Combined Fuel Consumption Mean?

Combined fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The 100-kilometer fuel consumption is a value measured by the manufacturer under objective conditions, where the value measured by a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis is converted into speed parameters, and the theoretical experimental data of the 100-kilometer fuel consumption is calculated using a specified speed model. Additional details are as follows: Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption is also divided into constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy index when a car travels at a constant speed on good roads. Road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy index measured when a car travels in repeated cycles according to specified speed and time specifications on the road, also known as multi-process road cycle fuel consumption. Methods to Reduce Fuel Consumption: Checking the air conditioning system in summer is essential; frequent sudden braking is the main reason for high fuel consumption; the air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles should not be turned on too aggressively.
