Do not attempt to force the gear. If the engine stalls due to water ingress, never attempt to restart the vehicle. Instead, wait on-site for the car to be towed away. Below is relevant information about water-damaged vehicles: Concept: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and seats, and prolonged contact between underbody components and water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as electrical circuits are prone to short circuits and potential fires. Insurance: There are two types of insurance related to water damage: the most common is comprehensive vehicle insurance, and the other is called special engine loss insurance, commonly known as flood insurance.

How to Drive a Car with Manual and Automatic Transmission?

Car with manual and automatic transmission has M+ and M- buttons, which can be used to set the gear of the vehicle and switch between manual mode and automatic mode. Switch to manual mode in the following situations: 1. When accelerating to overtake. Manual mode accelerates faster and more powerfully than automatic mode, so it is better to switch to manual mode when you want to overtake. 2. When going downhill for a long distance. In this case, using manual mode to go downhill is more convenient and can reduce the number of times the car brakes, thereby reducing tire wear. 3. When encountering continuous undulating roads. At this time, using manual mode can not only improve driving stability and safety but also reduce the wear and tear on the vehicle caused by continuous braking. 4. When climbing a slope. Switching to manual mode at this time can give the vehicle more power, making it easier to climb the slope.

What does the 215/50r17 tire mean?

Automotive tire specification 215/50r17 refers to a tread width of 215mm; 50 is the aspect ratio (tire height ÷ tread width) indicating 50%; r denotes that the tire has a radial structure with steel belts; 17 indicates the rim diameter is 17 inches. When using tires, pay attention to the following points: 1. Develop the habit of regularly checking tire pressure: Pressure is key to extending tire lifespan—frequently exceeding normal pressure by 20% reduces tire life by 10%; if frequently below normal pressure by 30%, tire life decreases by 52%. 2. Maintain consistent tire pressure: Tire pressure is the lifeblood of tires. Low pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to sidewall cracks, excessive heat generation, rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. 3. Regularly remove foreign objects from tires: While driving, small stones often get lodged in the tread grooves. If not promptly removed, these stones can puncture the tire over time, causing leaks or blowouts.

What does the number after the subject two session mean?

The current session ranking, this ranking is arranged according to the passing time of the previous subject. Those who finish the test earlier will also come to make an appointment, and they will be pushed back. Sessions are generally arranged in the order of appointment, because some people will have priority appointments. Appointments are divided into ordinary appointments and priority appointments (there are still six months until the exam deadline). Suppose the first person to register is an ordinary appointment, but there are 30 people behind who have priority appointments, then they will be pushed back to the 31st position. Assuming that each session tests 20 people, it will change from the first session to the second session. Exam appointment rules: 1. First appointment: For the first appointment for subject one exam, the sorting time is based on the initial application for a driver's license or the application for an additional driving business; 2. Non-first appointment: For non-first appointments for subject one exam, the sorting time is based on the last exam time; 3. Cancellation of appointment time: For users who successfully make an exam appointment but cancel it due to their own reasons, the sorting time is based on the cancellation time. If the exam cannot be taken for non-personal reasons, the sorting time remains unchanged.
