Subject 4 can be taken indefinitely, as there is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 4 exam. However, there are three important points to note: the number of exam applications for Subject 4, the time limit for the Subject 4 exam, and the relationship between Subject 4 and the driver's license. Number of Exam Applications for Subject 4: If you fail the Subject 4 exam, you can retake it immediately. If you fail the retake, you can schedule another attempt 10 days later. In theory, you can apply for retakes indefinitely. Unlike Subjects 2 and 3, which have limits on the number of attempts, Subject 4 can be taken repeatedly until you pass. Time Limit for Subject 4 Exam: Although there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 4, there is a time constraint. The validity period of the driving test permit is three years. Since Subject 4 is the final exam for obtaining a driver's license, it must be passed within these three years. This means you can take Subject 4 an unlimited number of times within the three-year validity period of the driving test permit. If the permit expires, you will need to reapply and retake all the exams. Relationship Between Subject 4 and the Driver's License: Subject 4 is a theoretical knowledge test conducted on a computer. The exam consists of 50 questions, including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, each worth two points, totaling 100 points. Passing Subject 4 does not immediately allow you to drive on the road; you must wait until you receive your driver's license before you can legally drive. Subject 4 Exam Content: The main content includes safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident procedures.

I remember when taking the Subject 4 test, I heard people say you can take it unlimited times. Later, I checked the policy and found it's indeed true—there's no limit on attempts, but you have to wait about 10 days after each test to schedule the next one, like a buffer period. I know a friend who failed three times and finally passed on the fourth attempt, reviewing the traffic rule question bank each time. The key point is that the question bank updates quickly, so it's helpful to practice regularly with mobile apps, simulate test scenarios, and improve answering speed. If you take it too many times, you might feel frustrated, but don’t worry too much about failing—just focus on preparation. It's advisable to do more mock tests before the exam to avoid last-minute cramming.

What Happens If Urea is Accidentally Added to the Diesel Tank?

Here is an introduction to the consequences of accidentally adding urea to the diesel tank: 1. Clogging the after-treatment system: Diesel and carbon soot from the exhaust will gradually clog the after-treatment system. 2. Explosion: Diesel may combust or even explode inside the exhaust pipe. Below is extended information about automotive urea: 1. Kelas: The first professional brand in China specializing in the production of automotive urea, known for stable and reliable quality, with self-built sales channels nationwide. 2. Yuetai Hailong: A brand under Sinopec, commonly seen in 20kg products, available at various Sinopec gas stations. The product quality is unstable, and the price is relatively low. 3. Kunlun Star: A brand under PetroChina, with weaker distribution channels compared to Sinopec, but the product quality is decent and the price is moderate. 4. The role of automotive urea: When nitrogen oxides are detected in the exhaust pipe, the urea tank automatically sprays diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). DEF and nitrogen oxides undergo redox reactions in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, producing non-polluting nitrogen and water vapor for emission.

Why is there a sound when braking suddenly?

It may be related to brake pad wear. Methods to resolve the issue: If it's metal-on-metal contact, the discs and pads should be replaced immediately. Additionally, if the brake warning light on the dashboard is not activated, the sensor connected to the brake warning light should also be checked for any issues. When a screeching sound occurs while braking, aside from the initial bedding-in period of new pads, the first step should be to inspect the brake pads to see if they are worn out or if there is any foreign material present. If the brake pads are worn out, they should be replaced immediately. If foreign material is found, the brake pads should be removed, the foreign material extracted, and then reinstalled. When a hissing sound occurs while braking, it is recommended to first check if there are any issues with the friction between the caliper, brake disc, and brake pads. Brake pads are consumable items: They become thinner with vehicle use. When the friction layer is nearly depleted, there is a warning mechanism at the edge of the brake pad—the brake pad wear indicator (a metal tab). At this point, the metal tab will rub against the brake disc, producing a sharp metallic friction sound as a warning to remind the driver to replace the brake pads.

How to Start a Car Without Inserting the Key?

The ignition button is located within easy reach on the center console, hence it is also called "one-button start". Below are the steps to start the vehicle: 1. Press the start button once to power on. 2. Press it again, and the dashboard lights will turn on. At this point, the fuel pump begins to work. It is best to pause for five seconds to allow the fuel pump to fully operate. 3. Then, press the brake and press the start button once more to ignite. The following is the method to turn off the engine with keyless start: 1. Press the brake and bring the vehicle to a smooth stop. 2. Shift the gear from D or R to N. 3. Engage the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply pull it up). 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power (this is to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped under the handbrake's effect, preventing the P gear from locking). 5. Continue pressing the foot brake and shift the gear from N to P. 6. Release the foot brake and press the one-button start button to turn off the power, completing the engine shutdown.

What is the cause of small shaft noise in one cylinder of an engine?

Small shaft noise in a cylinder is related to the crankshaft bearing, connecting rod bearing, piston pin, and piston ring areas. The function of the engine crankshaft: The crankshaft is the main rotating mechanism of the engine, responsible for converting the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the piston into its own circular motion. The engine speed is essentially the speed of the crankshaft. The crankshaft bears the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. Composition of the crankshaft: The crankshaft mainly consists of the crankshaft front end (or free end), connecting rod journal, main journal crank, balance weight, and crankshaft rear end flange (or power output end). The main journal is installed on the cylinder block, the connecting rod journal is connected to the big end hole of the connecting rod, and the small end hole of the connecting rod is connected to the cylinder piston, forming a typical crank-slider mechanism.
