An air-cooled engine motorcycle can run long distances, but during summer, it needs to stop and rest for 10 to 20 minutes after every 2 to 3 hours of riding to allow the engine to cool down. It is important to let it cool naturally to avoid performance damage and reduce the likelihood of malfunctions. The characteristics of an air-cooled engine in motorcycles include a simple structure, lightweight, easy maintenance, strong adaptability to climate changes, quick start-up, and no need for a radiator, which is why it is used in some military vehicles and certain trucks. Air-cooled engines are widely used in motorcycles, eliminating the need for a radiator. They are also suitable for water-scarce regions since they do not use water as a cooling medium.

How often should the Verano have its oil changed?

The frequency of oil changes for the Verano should be determined based on the type of oil used, as follows: 1. Mineral oil: Generally, it should be changed every six months or approximately every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Semi-synthetic oil: Generally, it should be changed every 7 to 8 months or approximately every 7,500 kilometers. 3. Fully synthetic oil: Generally, it should be changed every year or approximately every 10,000 kilometers. Below are the effects of driving environment and conditions on oil change intervals: 1. The oil change cycle is not the only standard and should only be used as a reference. In addition to the type of oil, the vehicle's driving conditions should also be considered when determining oil change intervals. If the engine vibrates noticeably and the engine noise increases, an oil change should be considered. 2. If the driving environment is particularly harsh, such as high levels of dust, very low temperatures (below -20°C), or frequent short trips (each drive being less than 8 kilometers). If any one of these three factors applies, it is recommended to shorten the oil change interval to every 7,000-8,000 kilometers.

How to engage the R gear when it's on the far left?

When shifting gears, you must lift the ring on the gear lever or press the gear lever down to successfully engage the reverse gear. Here is some relevant information: 1. Normal vehicles: The reverse gear is essentially the reverse driving gear that allows the vehicle to move backward, marked as R on the gear lever. Depending on the vehicle model design, the position of the R gear may vary slightly. In most vehicles, the R gear is located at the bottom right, arranged from left to right with the upper row as 1—3—4 and the lower row as 2—4—R gear. 2. Precautions: If you encounter a situation where the 1st gear and R gear are in the same position, the 1st gear can be engaged with normal shifting operation, while the R gear usually requires lifting the gear lever to engage. In the initial stages of using the vehicle, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the corresponding gear positions on the gear lever to avoid mismatching speed and gear due to incorrect gear shifting while driving.

Can a Flooded Motorcycle Still Start?

Motorcycles that have been submerged in water should not be started immediately, as doing so may cause damage to the vehicle and its engine. The extent of water ingress should be assessed and resolved before attempting to start the engine. Classification of Flooded Vehicles: Generally, flooded vehicles can be categorized into three types based on the extent of damage: water levels exceeding the wheels, leading to water accumulation in the footwell area; water levels soaking the seats or surpassing the dashboard; and water levels directly exceeding the vehicle body. How to Identify a Flooded Vehicle: After being cleaned, it is not easy to identify a flooded vehicle by appearance alone. Flooded vehicles primarily undergo repairs for water-damaged components, rarely involving bodywork. For example, if the headlights or taillights are flooded, they may be replaced or drained of water. Similarly, interior water accumulation is cleared, and wet components are dried by disassembly or direct exposure. In fact, flooded vehicles are relatively easy to distinguish because even after thorough cleaning, they tend to emit a musty odor. Additionally, the trunk is a critical area—significant rust indicates a high likelihood of water ingress.

Should I swipe my ID card or fasten the seat belt first in Subject 2?

Before getting into the car, hand your ID card to the examiner for verification. After successful verification, get into the car to adjust the seat and rearview mirror, and fasten the seat belt (failure to fasten the seat belt will result in a 100-point deduction). Here are the specific instructions: 1. Precautions for swiping the ID card: First, check whether the car is in neutral, whether the handbrake is pulled tight, whether all the lights are turned off, adjust the seat and rearview mirror, and fasten the seat belt. Then swipe the ID card. Only after hearing the voice announcement "Subject 2 test begins" can you start the engine. If the car is not turned off when you get in, you must turn it off first. 2. Comprehensive examinees: Wait until the voice announcement says the test and all examinees have completed the test items before you can take the test. If a comprehensive examinee has not completed the test and you follow to take the same test item, both of you will be judged as failing the test.

What are the functions of the exterior rearview mirror?

The functions of the exterior rearview mirror include: convenient operation for the driver and increased field of view. Convenient operation for the driver: To facilitate the driver's operation, prevent traffic safety accidents, and ensure personal safety, rearview mirrors must be installed on vehicles, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. The driver can directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the vehicle while seated in the driver's seat. Increased field of view: Rearview mirrors have a field of view issue, which refers to the range that the mirror surface can reflect. The industry has proposed three elements of the field of view: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror, the size of the rearview mirror, and the radius of curvature of the rearview mirror. When the distance and size of the rearview mirror are the same, the smaller the radius of curvature of the mirror surface, the larger the field of view reflected by the mirror. When the radius of curvature of the mirror surface is the same, the larger the size of the mirror surface, the larger the field of view reflected by the mirror.

Where to Collect the Vehicle Inspection Sticker and What to Bring?

For a new vehicle's annual inspection sticker, you only need to bring the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance, and ID card to the local vehicle management office or traffic police station to collect it. Below are the relevant details: 1. Documents required for vehicle inspection: For this year's inspection, you need to bring the copy of last year's compulsory traffic insurance (keep the original for yourself—when purchasing insurance, the compulsory traffic insurance comes with both an original and a copy), and you also need to bring the vehicle's driving license. 2. Affixing the annual inspection sticker: After the inspection, the owner should affix the annual inspection sticker to the front windshield as proof. With the implementation of new vehicle inspection policies, many owners are now aware of the 6-year inspection policy for new vehicles. When first encountering this policy, many owners thought they didn't need to visit the vehicle management office for any inspection procedures or to obtain the annual inspection sticker for the first 6 years. In fact, this is not the case. Although no on-site inspection is required, owners still need to bring their compulsory traffic insurance and tax payment certificate to the vehicle management office to collect the annual inspection sticker and affix it to the front windshield.
