Exposing a car to intense summer sunlight does have effects, which include: 1. The wear resistance of the interior will decrease, making it prone to whitening; 2. Later-installed electronic devices may develop issues; 3. The air quality inside the car will deteriorate; 4. Prolonged exposure will cause the car body temperature to rise, and when temperatures drop at night, thermal expansion and contraction can lead to paint peeling and rubber deterioration; 5. The car's paint will oxidize under UV rays from sunlight, resulting in reduced gloss; 6. Tires exposed to high temperatures will experience accelerated rubber hardening, cracking, and aging; 7. Flammable items should not be left inside, as prolonged exposure may cause explosions, posing safety hazards.

What are the steps to start a car in Subject 2?

Subject 2 vehicle starting steps are as follows: 1. Walk around the car and observe the surroundings. 2. Open the door, get in, and fasten the seat belt. 3. Sound the horn, depress the clutch, and engage the gear. 4. Slowly release the clutch while simultaneously releasing the parking brake with your right hand. 5. The car begins to move, shift gears, and press the accelerator. Additional information: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns). Specific explanations are as follows: 1. Reversing into a garage: Correctly judge the vehicle's reversing trajectory and control the vehicle to complete reversing into the garage. 2. Parallel parking: While moving, maneuver the vehicle to correctly park in a roadside parking space (garage) on the right side of the road. 3. Stopping and starting on a slope: Accurately judge the stopping position; coordinate the use of the accelerator pedal, parking brake, and clutch for a smooth start. 4. Driving through curves: While moving, operate the steering device to control the vehicle through curves. 5. Turning at a right angle: While moving, correctly operate the steering device and accurately judge the difference between the inner and outer wheels.

What should be paid attention to for self-driving tours?

Here are the precautions for self-driving tours: 1. Maintain a good driving condition: Long-distance drivers must maintain good physical and mental condition, and ensure adequate sleep before driving. 2. Wear seat belts: Not only the driver and front-seat passengers, but also rear-seat passengers need to fasten their seat belts. If there are children under the age of twelve in the family, it is recommended to purchase child safety seats produced by regular manufacturers. 3. Driving in rain or snow: Turn on the fog lights and width lights. Drive slowly, do not overtake casually in bad weather, lightly press the accelerator, lightly press the brake, and turn the steering wheel slowly. When overtaking, use the horn and headlights to signal, and only overtake when the vehicle in front makes way. Be extra careful and slow down in dark and damp places such as under overpasses and at tunnel entrances, as they are prone to icing.

What is the method to reset the maintenance light?

Once the maintenance light comes on, it means the vehicle needs maintenance. Some models cannot be reset manually and require professional computer operation. Taking the Volkswagen Tiguan as an example, the steps to reset the maintenance light are as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and shut down the engine. 2. Press and hold the right button (reset) on the instrument panel with your left hand. 3. While holding the right button with your left hand, turn on the ignition switch. 4. Continue holding the 'reset' button with your left hand until the maintenance light enters the reset mode, then release the right button (reset button). 5. Within 20 seconds of releasing the right button, press the left button 'menu/time setting' once to confirm the reset.

What is the fuel consumption of the Corolla 1.2T?

The fuel consumption of the Corolla 1.2T is as follows: 1. 1.2T manual transmission: average fuel consumption is 6.77L/100km; fuel consumption range is 5.83-7.70L/100km. 2. 1.2T-CVT continuously variable transmission: average fuel consumption is 7.25L/100km; fuel consumption range is 6.22-8.28L/100km. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated by specifying the speed to obtain the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Car While Driving?

In an automatic car, you only need to press the brake when shifting into the P (Park) gear. For other gears, normal manual control is sufficient. Below is a detailed introduction to the gears in an automatic transmission car: 1. R (Reverse) Gear: When shifting into this gear, the hydraulic system engages the reverse oil circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Do not forcibly shift into the "R" gear when the vehicle is not completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 2. N (Neutral) Gear: When shifting into neutral, the planetary gear system idles, and no power is output. 3. D (Drive) Gear: When the gearshift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control system automatically engages the appropriate forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening and vehicle speed signals. It can automatically shift up or down according to driving speed, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 4. P (Park) Gear: This gear uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car's tires, preventing the vehicle from moving.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Honda CR-V?

The fuel tank capacity of the Honda CR-V is 53 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Honda CR-V can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Honda CR-V uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 4.9 to 7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 699 to 1040 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
