Car halogen bulbs cannot be replaced with LED bulbs, as this is illegal. Unauthorized modification of car lights will affect the vehicle's annual inspection, and it also compromises the safety of the car. Halogen bulbs contain gases such as iodine or bromine, which belong to the halogen group. The sublimated tungsten filament reacts with the halogen gas at high temperatures, and the sublimated tungsten solidifies back onto the filament upon cooling, thereby extending the lifespan of the tungsten filament. LEDs emit light through the recombination of electrons and holes, efficiently converting electrical energy into light energy. LEDs generate less heat and are more energy-efficient.

Where to Use Turn Signals in Subject 2 Driving Test?

There are three instances where turn signals must be used in Subject 2: exiting parallel parking (left turn signal), making a 90-degree turn (left turn signal), and stopping on an uphill slope (right turn signal). Penalties for incorrect turn signal usage are as follows: Failure to use or incorrect use of turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. Using turn signals for less than 3 seconds before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. Passing standards are as follows: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for small vehicles (C1, C2) include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), 90-degree turns, and driving through an S-curve (some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection). The test items for large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2) include pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, driving through an S-curve, 90-degree turns, passing through a narrow gate, driving over continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making U-turns on narrow roads, and simulations for highways, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What is the actual range of a 400 km range car in winter?

With a standard range of 400 kilometers, if the air conditioning is turned on, the actual range is at most 270 kilometers. Range: Range can also be referred to as endurance capability, which refers to the total distance that vehicles such as cars or ships can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the range refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test specified by the standard, and it is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. New energy vehicle range: Refers to the distance traveled at a constant speed under ideal road conditions, wind speed, temperature, etc., on a single full charge. Hybrid vehicles and lead-acid battery (low-speed vehicles) have relatively shorter ranges.

Below are the relevant details: 1. Nature: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated term for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. 2. Road Driving Skills Test: Preparation before getting on the car, simulated light test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 3. Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.

Is the Electronic Driver's License Nationally Valid?

Electronic driver's licenses are not yet valid nationwide, as the pilot program is currently limited to only three cities. Definition of Electronic Driver's License: Commonly known as the "electronic driver's license," the electronic version of the motor vehicle driver's license was piloted in three cities—Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou—starting from June 1, 2021. It provides drivers with online "license display" and "code display" services, offering greater convenience for public affairs and travel. The program is set to be fully implemented nationwide in 2022. Features of Electronic Driver's License: The electronic driver's license boasts three key features: uniformity, real-time functionality, and security, providing convenience in application, presentation, and usage. Generated through the national public security traffic management electronic license system, it dynamically displays the status of the driver's license and can be used in various scenarios such as law enforcement and public services, enabling real-time queries, displays, and verifications. The electronic driver's license employs digital signature anti-counterfeiting technology, ensuring authenticity, uniqueness, and reliability.

What Does 'One Unit of Oil' Mean?

One unit of oil represents one liter of oil. Generally, when people say 'a few units of oil,' they are referring to the number of liters consumed per 100 kilometers driven by the car. If there are no poor driving habits during operation, consuming around 7 liters per 100 kilometers is considered relatively fuel-efficient. For SUV models, consuming approximately 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers is also regarded as fuel-efficient. Regularly Check Tire Pressure: Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is at the correct level. Both underinflation and overinflation can increase fuel consumption, so it's essential to monitor tire pressure periodically. Pay Attention to Transmission Maintenance: Always use transmission fluid that matches your vehicle's specifications. Transmission fluid not only lubricates but also plays a role in torque transmission, so it should be replaced regularly.
