Reversing into a parking space does not require the use of turn signals. In Subject 2 of the driving test, you only need to use the left turn signal when starting on an uphill slope and when performing parallel parking into a garage. For parallel parking, use the left turn signal when exiting the parking space. For uphill starts, use the left turn signal before starting the car. No turn signals are needed for S-curves, right-angle turns, or reversing into a parking space. Tips for reversing into a parking space: 1. Control the driving speed: Use first gear or reverse gear at idle speed throughout the process. Maintain the same speed as when starting. 2. Control the timing of steering: During the reversing process, observe carefully, grasp the key points of steering, and steer at the right time. 3. Control the driving path: During the test, the car's driving path mainly depends on the speed of steering wheel rotation and driving speed. When reversing, aim for the boundary line and adjust the direction in time to keep the car straight when entering the parking space.

What to Do If You Keep Mistaking the Accelerator for the Brake?

When not pressing the accelerator, keep your foot on the brake to develop good driving habits. Here are some tips to avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake: Place your right foot on the brake when not pressing the accelerator: While driving, make it a habit to place your right foot on the brake when you're not pressing the accelerator. This helps prevent confusing the accelerator with the brake. If you rest your right foot on the floor when not accelerating, it may feel more relaxed, but in an emergency, you might struggle to locate or accurately press the brake, leading to mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead. Develop good driving habits: For novice drivers, the main reason for mistaking the accelerator for the brake is insufficient familiarity with the vehicle or the lack of established good driving habits. Staying calm in unexpected situations is also crucial for safe driving.

Which Gear is the Driving Gear in an Automatic Transmission Car?

In an automatic transmission car, the driving gear is the D (Drive) gear. The following is an introduction to the gears in an automatic transmission car: P Gear: Parking gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, press the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into P gear. R Gear: Reverse gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, press the brake pedal and the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into R gear. After releasing the brake pedal, slowly press the accelerator to move the vehicle backward. N Gear: Neutral gear. You can directly shift from R or D gear into N gear. When shifting out of N gear, you need to press the brake pedal. D Gear: Drive gear. You can directly shift from N gear into D gear. This gear is generally used when the vehicle is moving forward, and the system will automatically shift gears based on engine load and speed. S Gear: The S gear in an automatic transmission stands for Sport gear, which is a mode that emphasizes power output. Due to its strong power, the S gear is usually used when overtaking or climbing a slope. After completing the action, it is switched back to the more economical D gear. In terms of fuel consumption, the S gear mode consumes more fuel than the normal mode because of the increased fuel injection at high RPMs.

Are Green License Plate Vehicles Subject to Traffic Restrictions?

Local traffic restriction policies determine whether green license plate vehicles are subject to traffic restrictions. Green license plates are exclusive to new energy vehicles, specially designed by the state for differentiated management to quickly distinguish between traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles. Currently, the format of green new energy vehicle license plates is: regional abbreviation + area code letter + exclusive letter for pure electric/hybrid + numbers. Green license plates refer to new energy vehicles, embodying the characteristics of green environmental protection, and can effectively and conveniently identify new energy vehicles. License plates, also known as vehicle registration plates, are standardized hard number plates with a unified format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations. They are issued by vehicle management authorities after reviewing, inspecting, and registering the vehicles applying for the plates, featuring a unique registration code and are mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle. The conditions, procedures, and requirements for applying for new energy vehicle license plates are the same as those for regular vehicle license plates. However, only three types of vehicles—pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles—are eligible for green license plates.

Where is the airbag plug under the seat?

The airbag plug under the seat is generally located in front of or below the gear shift lever. Places marked with AIR, BGA, etc., are where the airbag is configured. If you really can't find it, you can refer to the car's user manual, which will have detailed records. The airbag plug is mostly located under the airbag, which is basically where the word "airbag" is written inside the car. Most airbag plugs are yellow. The airbag has a separate computer board, and all airbags are basically connected to the airbag computer board. Driver's airbag: There are two bolts under the rear cover of the steering wheel. Remove the bolts, gently lift it, and take off the connector that connects the clock spring to the generator. Generally, the connector has a lock. Some can be removed by pressing it, while others can be removed by pulling out the small pin. Passenger airbag: There are two types: split type and integrated type. The split type has a separate airbag cover with a gap between it and the dashboard, marked with SRS or airbag or a combination of the two. The integrated type has the airbag cover and dashboard as one piece, also marked with those words. The split type is easier to disassemble than the integrated type. Side airbag: After removing the A-pillar trim, the side curtain airbag appears. In a typical side collision, the side curtain airbag will quickly close the actual gap between the occupants and the door and B-pillar. Its function is to protect the side parts of the occupants (mainly the head). The side airbag must deploy at an extremely fast speed in the small gap between the occupants and the door to act as a buffer.
