It is advisable to avoid using the wipers during snowfall and instead lift them to prevent freezing onto the windshield. It is best to place a layer of newspaper or a specialized snow shield on the front window glass for easier snow removal. Here are some tips for using wipers in snowy conditions: 1. Do not use the wipers immediately to remove snow: Avoid using the wipers or attempting to manually remove the snow right away. When the car is covered with snow and there is a significant amount on the windshield, do not use the wipers immediately to remove the snow, as this can tear the rubber surface of the wipers, rendering them ineffective or even damaging them. 2. Remove the snow first: The correct approach is to start the car, turn on the heater to blow warm air onto the front windshield, and then use a brush or a dry towel to remove the snow. If there is ice, you can use an ice scraper or a plastic scraper to clear the remaining residue.

Does fully depressing the clutch in Subject 2 count as stopping midway?

Fully depressing the clutch in Subject 2 counts as stopping midway. Below are specific details about Subject 2: Midway stopping: As the name suggests, midway stopping refers to the vehicle speed dropping directly to 0 during the test. During the test, if the steering wheel is turned too sharply, the wheel resistance increases, which can also cause a brief stop. The detection system in the test vehicle is very sensitive; once a stop occurs, the system immediately records it. Avoiding midway stops: During the test, when passing over uneven ground or the seams between cement blocks in the test area, the vehicle speed should be slightly faster; when turning the steering wheel sharply, slightly release the clutch to prevent a midway stop; when straightening the wheel, slightly press the clutch to control the speed.
