The reasons for a burning smell when the car air conditioner is turned on are as follows: Mold has developed on the surface of the heat exchanger fins. Below is a related introduction to car air conditioners: 1. Compressor: Driven by the engine, it continuously draws in the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor generated by heat absorption and vaporization in the evaporator, compresses it to form high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor, and discharges it to the condenser, creating high-pressure conditions for the refrigerant to continuously condense and release heat in the condenser. At the same time, it overcomes the circulation resistance of the refrigerant in the refrigeration circuit. 2. Condenser: Releases the heat contained in the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor discharged by the compressor to the outside air flowing through the condenser, and condenses the refrigerant vapor into refrigerant liquid with a certain temperature. Most condensers are located in front of the radiator at the front of the car and are cooled by the cooling fan and the oncoming airflow generated by the car's movement.

Can I Take the Subject 1 Test Immediately After Registration?

After successfully enrolling in a driving school, you need to submit the application form and proof of physical condition to the Vehicle Management Office for review. Once the review is completed, you can schedule the Subject 1 test, which typically takes about 10 days to arrange. Before scheduling, you should study the Subject 1 exam materials and practice test questions. Enrollment in the driving school is only a preliminary registration. After registration, the driving school submits your documents to the Vehicle Management Office. Upon successful submission, the office will issue a serial number, indicating successful registration. Once registered, you can proceed to schedule the Subject 1 test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," Subject 1 consists of 100 multiple-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 exam content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the exam, students should dress appropriately—no sandals are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures displayed on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is focused on you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five exam attempts, and scheduling must occur at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

What is the reason for the sudden failure of high beams to turn on?

The reason for the sudden failure of high beams to turn on is a damaged high beam fuse. Below is relevant information about high beams: 1. Concept: High beams refer to the adjustment of light intensity based on the distance of the filament when driving at night. At their focal point, the emitted light is projected parallel, more concentrated, and brighter, capable of illuminating distant and high objects. 2. Usage effect: High beams can improve visibility and expand the field of view. On dark roads without streetlights, the visible range with high beams is significantly greater than with only low beams. Therefore, using high beams in such conditions is highly necessary.
