Parking with the steering wheel not straightened does have an impact. When the steering wheel is not straightened while parking, it can affect the tires, steering system, and suspension system to some extent. During parking, the sidewalls of the tires bear the most pressure, which can lead to aging and deformation of the tire sidewalls. If the steering wheel is not straightened, the wheels will pull the tie rods, preventing them from returning to their original position. Over time, this can accelerate the aging or deformation of the steering system and also affect the steering and suspension systems. To determine if the steering wheel is straightened while parking, you can refer to the number of turns of the steering wheel. While moving the vehicle, turn the steering wheel and remember the number of turns from the fully locked position to the center position. Turning it back to the center position will straighten the steering wheel. For most family cars, the steering wheel turns one and a half turns from the center to the fully locked position left or right, though some models may require more turns.

What are the precautions when practicing driving?

Here are the precautions to take when practicing driving: 1. Overtaking and lane changing: Be decisive and firm when overtaking or changing lanes, and try to stay as close as possible to the vehicle in front, especially on two-way lanes, to save time during overtaking. When changing lanes, always observe the traffic in the adjacent lane carefully through the rearview mirror, not only judging the distance but also the speed of the following vehicle. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so; otherwise, if a collision occurs, the lane-changing vehicle will bear full responsibility. 2. Listen to the engine sound: Unusual noises occur when the speed is high but the gear is low, or when the gear is mismatched. Similarly, abnormal sounds and body shaking can occur when driving at low speed with a high gear. Generally, after starting, shift to 2nd gear once the car is moving, and then shift to 3rd gear at around 40 mph. 3. Avoid frequently using neutral gear: Coasting in neutral can be used when the speed is low and safety is not compromised, but it consumes more fuel for fuel-injected cars. Never coast in neutral when going downhill, as it not only increases the risk of brake failure but also may cause the vehicle to lose control if the engine stalls.

The Internal and External Circulation Indicators of the Magotan

The internal and external circulation indicators of the Magotan are located on the car's center console, featuring a car symbol with a circular arrow inside. Here is an introduction to the internal and external circulation of the Magotan: 1. Principle of External Circulation: When the external circulation is activated, the car's fan draws air from outside the vehicle and delivers it inside, allowing the external and internal air to circulate. Even if the fan is not turned on, air will still enter the car while driving, providing fresh external air. Even when the car's air conditioning is turned off during driving, air continues to be drawn into the car due to the external circulation setting. However, if the car is driven in urban areas with the external circulation on, the interior may fill with exhaust fumes. 2. Principle of Internal Circulation: When the internal circulation is activated, the airflow passage between the inside and outside of the car is closed. If the car's fan is not operating, there will be no airflow circulation inside the car. When the fan is working, it draws air from inside the car, maintaining internal airflow circulation. Activating the internal circulation effectively prevents external dust and harmful gases from entering the car, reducing exposure to harmful external air. For example, when driving through areas with smoke, dust, strong odors, or heavy traffic, it helps block some harmful gases. In general, if the external air quality is poor, it is advisable to turn on the internal circulation.

How long after passing the C1 subject 1 test can you take the subject 2 test?

For a C1 driver's license, you can take the subject 2 test 10 days after passing the subject 1 test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," after passing the subject 1 test for a C1 license, you can schedule the subject 2 test online 10 days later. This provides ample time to prepare for the subject 2 content. Each subject 2 test appointment includes two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it once for free. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test is terminated, and you can reschedule the subject 2 test after 10 days. The required practice time for subject 2 is 16 hours and 14 hours respectively. Within the validity period of the driver's license learning, the number of subject 2 test appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth appointment, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driver's license, you must restart the process from subject 1. Subject 2 test content: The ability to complete test items by driving a motor vehicle within a designated area; the mastery of motor vehicle driving skills; the ability to judge the spatial position of a motor vehicle. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Some regions have a sixth item: high-speed card collection. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting into the car, be sure to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten your seatbelt. When parallel parking, remember to find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For stopping on a slope, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For turning at a right angle, find the point quickly and react promptly to turn, coordinating with the car's speed to avoid deviation. For driving through curves (S-curves), slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving skills during practice can pass through quickly in one go. When reversing into a garage, control the speed carefully, find the reference point accurately, and make minor adjustments if there is any deviation observed in the rearview mirror. There are three subjects in the driver's license test: subject 1, subject 2, and subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the test on field driving skills. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense. The safe and civilized driving common sense test is conducted after subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as subject 4.

How Many Volkswagen Models Have Lettering on the Rear Emblem?

There are a total of 5 Volkswagen models with lettering below the emblem, including the Passat, Phideon, Teramont, Tharu, and the discontinued Phaeton. Here are the relevant introductions to several Volkswagen models: 1. Volkswagen Phaeton: The Volkswagen Phaeton held a very high status in China, but this model has long been discontinued. The discontinuation of the Phaeton left many Volkswagen fans feeling deeply saddened. This understated yet luxurious Volkswagen Phaeton can be said to embody the pinnacle of Volkswagen's technology, with a highly futuristic interior and very powerful performance. Although it appears low-key and moderate from the outside, the interior is exceptionally luxurious, and it excels in both power and handling. The understated luxury of the Volkswagen Phaeton even led many fans to pay a premium for it. 2. Volkswagen Phideon: Many rumors suggest that the Volkswagen Phideon is actually the successor to the Volkswagen Phaeton. This C-class sedan shares some similarities in appearance with the Phaeton, but compared to the Phaeton, the Phideon has a more business-oriented style. Inside, one can still feel a quite luxurious atmosphere. Although the Volkswagen Phideon aims to inherit the glory of the Phaeton, the results have not been very satisfactory. Many believe that the Phideon fails to reach the level of the Phaeton and has lost the essence of the Phaeton. 3. Volkswagen Touareg: The older models of the Touareg did not have lettering on the rear, but the newer models introduced lettering for the first time. The appearance of this model aligns with Volkswagen's philosophy, always being very low-key. However, the V6 emblem on the rear confirms the identity of this car. This SUV is quite impressive, and at one point, the lettering on the rear was considered a hallmark of Volkswagen's most expensive model. However, this design has gradually become more common across other Volkswagen models. 4. Volkswagen Teramont: The appearance of this model differs from previous ones. This German car exudes elegance while also having a muscular feel reminiscent of American cars. What makes the Teramont most appealing to Chinese consumers is its enormous space and incredibly strong performance. This is yet another understated yet luxurious model, becoming one of the top choices in the mid-to-large SUV segment and holding its own against competitors like the Toyota Highlander.
