What is the reason for a car to have Evans sticker?

A car with Evans sticker indicates that the vehicle uses Evans waterless coolant. Features of waterless coolant: Anti-corrosion: Prevents internal engine rust, keeping the radiator and cooling system as good as new; No or extremely low pressure: The cooling system operates under no or extremely low pressure, allowing the radiator cap to be opened at any time; Increased power: Eliminates the water vapor insulation layer, solves local engine overheating, and releases engine power; Improved acceleration: Shorter acceleration distance, smoother acceleration, and more seamless gear shifting; Fuel savings: Provides an ideal working temperature environment for the engine, ensuring more complete and thorough combustion; High boiling point and low freezing point: Solves issues of freezing and expansion at low temperatures and boiling over at high temperatures; Balanced temperature: Excellent thermal conductivity, viscosity changes with temperature, balancing internal engine temperature; Reduced emissions: Improved engine working conditions, more complete combustion, and reduced engine noise; Less maintenance: Prevents corrosion inside the engine cooling system, reduces maintenance, and extends engine lifespan; Slow cooling: Delays uneven engine heat dissipation.

What speed should be reduced to when downshifting from third gear to second gear?

When downshifting from third gear to second gear, the speed generally needs to be reduced below 20km/h to maintain the matching between the gear and speed, preventing stalling. Typically, first gear is used for normal starts, with speeds generally below 10km/h. Second gear is a transitional gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed driving, with speeds generally below 20km/h. Third gear is used for speeds between 20-40km/h, commonly used in urban driving. Fourth gear is suitable for speeds between 40-60km/h. Fifth gear is used for speeds above 60km/h. When shifting gears, never look down at the gear lever, as doing so can cause the left hand holding the steering wheel to unconsciously pull it downward, which may lead to unintended steering and potential safety hazards. Whether using the double-clutch shifting method or the single-clutch shifting method, ensure the clutch pedal is fully depressed when shifting. After shifting, before releasing the clutch, gently press the accelerator, then slowly release the clutch to maintain a semi-engaged state until the speed stabilizes before fully releasing the clutch. Gear shifts should be determined based on vehicle speed. For upshifting, increase the speed first; for downshifting, reduce the speed first. To minimize mechanical wear during downshifting, it is best to use the double-clutch method.

Can Adding Fog Lights Pass the Annual Inspection?

Adding fog lights can pass the annual inspection. Here are the specific details about fog lights: Precautions for adding fog lights: When visibility drops below 100 meters, fog lights must be turned on, and speed should be reduced. If visibility is below 30 meters, turn on the fog lights, pull over, and activate the hazard warning lights. In conditions of rain, fog, snow, or dust, fog lights should be turned on and speed reduced. Installation method for fog lights: Fog lights are installed below the bumper, closest to the ground, to maximize their effectiveness. If installed too high, the light may not penetrate the rain or fog to illuminate the road surface, making it dangerous as fog is thinner below 1 meter. Operation of fog lights: The fog light switch has three positions: 0 for off, 1 for front fog lights, and 2 for rear fog lights. Before use, it is recommended to know which position the switch is in to ensure convenience for yourself and safety for others. Classification of fog lights: Fog lights are divided into front and rear fog lights. In China, rear fog lights are mandatory for all vehicles, while front fog lights are not strictly required. Front fog lights are less useful, as low beams or contour lights can fully substitute for them. Therefore, to save costs, some car manufacturers may omit front fog lights.

How many seconds can the clutch be pressed during the start of Subject 3?

Subject 3 examination stipulates that the clutch should not be pressed continuously for more than 5 seconds, meaning the time for pressing the clutch before and after shifting gears should not be too long, otherwise it will result in an immediate failure of the test. Correct way to press the clutch in Subject 3: Press the clutch with the tip of your foot, keeping the heel off the ground. After shifting into first gear, slowly retract your foot backward, lift the entire leg, and gradually release the clutch to the semi-engaged state. The clutch will then slide from the tip of your foot to the center, at which point the heel should touch the ground. If the clutch is not fully pressed down, you will hear a grating sound of gears clashing during gear shifting, which is very sharp and noticeable. This will result in point deductions during the test. For regular driving, this can also damage the vehicle. Additionally, skipping gears while shifting up is not allowed, as it leads to a mismatch between speed and gear, known as "low speed with high gear," causing severe body vibration and possibly stalling the engine. Prolonged driving in low gears is also prohibited. The test imposes limits on the distance covered in first and second gears: no more than 50 meters for first gear and 100 meters for second gear per instance. Slow gear shifting in low gears can easily exceed these limits, as can driving long distances in first or second gear.

How long after failing the subject 4 test can you schedule a second appointment?

If you fail the subject 4 test, you can schedule another test after an interval of more than 10 days. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 44 Each subject test can be taken once, and if the test is failed, a make-up test can be taken once. If you do not take the make-up test or still fail the make-up test, this test will be terminated, and the applicant must schedule the test again, but the subject 2 and subject 3 tests must be scheduled 10 days later. If you fail the subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. Within the validity period of the learning driving certificate, the number of scheduled tests for subject 2 and subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the passed scores of other subjects will be invalidated. Here is an introduction to the driver's license test: The content of the driver's license test is divided into subject 1, subject 2, subject 3, and subject 4. Each subject test has two chances. Only after passing all four subjects can you obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. The probation period after obtaining the motor vehicle driver's license is one year.
