Subject 2 test must begin only after hearing the voice prompt. Below is a detailed introduction about the Subject 2 test: 1. Overview: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory contents: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. 2. Others: If the first attempt at the Subject 2 test is unsuccessful, a retake is allowed once. If the retake is not attended or still fails, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five times.

During the second driving test, you must wait for the voice prompt! I remember when I took the test, the safety officer from the DMV repeatedly emphasized this procedure. After getting in the car, adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, put the car in neutral, and pull the handbrake while waiting. Only after hearing the broadcast say 'Start the test' can you shift gears and release the handbrake. If you start moving without hearing the instruction, it's an automatic fail. The trickiest part is that even after completing maneuvers like reversing into a parking space, you must wait for the 'End of task' prompt before moving to the next test point. Once, I was too hasty during parallel parking and drove off before the voice prompt finished, resulting in points deducted. Remember, every instruction in the test area affects your scorecard.

As an instructor, I must remind you: all actions in Subject 2 must follow the voice prompts. During the preparation phase, you can adjust the seat and mirrors, but the moment your hand touches the gear lever, you must wait for the voice instruction. Last year, a student started moving immediately after stopping on the slope project, but the system didn't announce the completion instruction, wasting an opportunity. At the end of the curve driving section, listen carefully—you must hear 'This project is over' before turning out. Some test centers have sensor zones at right-angle turns; turning early counts as not following the prescribed route. In short, the voice is the only command during the test!

Just passed the exam? Let me tell you: voice commands are your lifeline! Especially for reverse parking—you must wait for the instruction 'Please begin reverse parking' before shifting into reverse. I once saw an uncle fail instantly because he turned too early during the S-curve after hearing another lane's voice command. During gaps between test sections, you can take a breather or roll down the window, but never touch the gearshift. The electronic grading system is highly sensitive; shifting without hearing 'Begin the test' results in an immediate 100-point deduction.

Driving School Veteran Tip: Before starting the ignition for the Subject 2 test, don't rush to turn the key. First, observe the safety officer's hand signal and wait for the onboard speaker to announce the 'Start Test' instruction. During the test, also pay attention to voice prompts, such as 'This item is completed' when parallel parking is finished—only then can you drive out of the test area. Once, when I was an onboard safety officer, I saw a student start moving after stopping on the slope without waiting for the system prompt, and the sensor directly judged the car body as out of line. There's a voice receiver under the steering wheel of the test car, so listen carefully especially when the engine noise is loud.

A technician who has been repairing exam vehicles for seven years tells you: There are nuances in triggering the in-car voice system. The infrared sensor detects the vehicle entering the exam area and issues a command within 3 seconds. However, delays may occur during the rainy season due to humidity. If there's no sound within 10 seconds, raise your hand immediately to report it. The most critical part is the hill start: after stopping the car and pulling the handbrake, you must wait to hear 'hill start' before releasing the clutch. I've dealt with faulty cars where aging audio wiring caused voice delays, leading to students releasing the brake too early and rolling back, resulting in a zero score. It's recommended to kick the tires a couple of times before the exam to test the undercarriage sensors and ensure the positioning antenna is functioning properly.

Why does the steering gear make abnormal noises when shaking left and right?

If the steering gear makes abnormal noises when shaking left and right, it can basically be determined that the steering gear is abnormal. The following are the reasons why the car's steering gear makes abnormal noises: Principle of steering gear: Many cars now have vacuum assistance, but that only reduces the driver's control strength, and the force on the steering gear itself does not change. Long-term steering in place: Not only does it put a lot of load on the steering gear, but it also aggravates the wear on the tire surface and reduces the service life of the tire. Solution: The effective way to reduce the wear of the steering gear is to reduce the load on the steering gear during operation.

Does the car's windshield washer fluid need to be diluted with water?

The need to dilute the car's windshield washer fluid with water depends on the type of fluid: 1. Non-concentrated liquid windshield washer fluid cannot be diluted with water and can be directly poured; 2. Solid windshield washer fluid can be diluted with water, dissolve it in clean water before use and then pour; 3. Highly concentrated liquid windshield washer fluid needs to be diluted with water in proportion, as direct use is too corrosive. The functions of windshield washer fluid are: 1. Cleaning performance: It has wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions; 2. Anti-fog performance: It can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, providing antifreeze effects; 3. Anti-static performance: It forms a single-molecule protective layer on the glass surface; 4. Anti-static performance: It can eliminate the charge on the glass surface; 5. Lubricating performance: It has a higher viscosity, providing lubrication; 6. Anti-corrosion performance: The fluid contains various buffers; 7.

What are the symptoms of a damaged intake manifold?

Symptoms of a damaged intake manifold: Mainly caused by cracks leading to air leakage, resulting in high idle speed, weak acceleration, stalling during acceleration, and failure to start if the cracks are severe. Below is more relevant information: How the intake manifold works: For port fuel injection engines or diesel engines, the intake manifold simply distributes clean air to each cylinder's intake port. The intake manifold must distribute the air-fuel mixture or clean air as evenly as possible to each cylinder. To achieve this, the length of the gas flow channels inside the intake manifold should be as equal as possible. To reduce gas flow resistance and improve intake efficiency, the inner walls of the intake manifold should be smooth. Consequences of a damaged intake manifold: The intake manifold must distribute the air-fuel mixture or clean air as evenly as possible to each cylinder. To achieve this, the length of the gas flow channels inside the intake manifold should be as equal as possible. To reduce gas flow resistance and improve intake efficiency, the inner walls of the intake manifold should be smooth. If the intake manifold is damaged, it will cause air leakage, reduced gas pressure, and weakened intake efficiency. This leads to decreased engine power. Insufficient air intake can also increase carbon buildup.

Which labels must be affixed to the car window?

Three major labels must be affixed to the front windshield: the motor vehicle inspection compliance label, the compulsory insurance label, and the environmental protection inspection compliance label. Below are more detailed explanations: Motor Vehicle Inspection Compliance Label: This label indicates that the vehicle has passed the annual inspection, meaning it meets the conditions for road use. Vehicles nearing the end of their service life will not pass the annual inspection and thus will not have this label. The color of the label varies by year to facilitate easy identification. Compulsory Insurance Label: The compulsory insurance label is well-known and must be displayed. Purchasing compulsory auto insurance is a mandatory requirement. In the event of an accident, the insurance company will provide compensation within the scope of liability, significantly reducing financial burdens and offering a form of protection. Environmental Protection Inspection Compliance Label: The environmental protection label for vehicles is a grading label for emission standards, categorized into yellow and green types based on vehicle models and emission standards. Currently, the environmental protection label has been abolished to reduce the burden on vehicle owners. However, vehicle exhaust emission testing remains a mandatory inspection item.
