Learning automatic transmission at a driving school varies in duration depending on the region, the driving school, and individual factors such as sense of direction and aptitude. Some driving schools require queuing after enrollment, followed by waiting for notifications after passing Subject 1 to start learning Subject 2. Continuous learning can be completed within a month. Others may require queuing for each subject, making the timeline unpredictable and potentially extending to several months. Each subject typically takes over half a month to learn, with long waiting periods. Details are as follows: 1. Subject 1: Traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The exam question bank's structure and basic question types are set by the Ministry of Public Security, with provincial traffic management departments adapting it to local conditions. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills, including reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at right angles, driving on curves, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 includes nine mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, turning at right angles, parallel parking, driving through tunnels, stopping to take a card, driving on curves, U-turns on narrow roads, emergency stops, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills, covering preparation before starting, straight-line driving, lane changes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones and bus stops, meeting traffic, overtaking, U-turns, and night driving. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge, focusing on related safety and civilized driving concepts.

Can you turn right when the straight arrow is red?

Whether you can turn right when the straight arrow is red depends on the situation: 1. If the arrow light only indicates straight and left turns, and there is no right-turn indication, you can turn right when the straight arrow is red; 2. If there is an arrow indicating a right turn, you need to follow the right-turn signal's instruction. When turning right, be careful not to affect straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians on the crosswalk, otherwise you may be penalized. Whether the straight arrow is red or it's a full red light allowing a right turn, the vehicle must be in the rightmost motor vehicle lane. Failure to follow the correct lane may result in fines, points deducted, and could easily lead to rear-end collisions.

How to Adjust the Height of Car Seats?

Methods for adjusting car seat height: First, locate the seat adjustment switch, usually found on the side of the seat. To raise the seat, push the switch upward; to lower it, push the switch downward. Adjust to the desired height. The principle is the same for both manual and electric adjustments, with only the control method differing. Many drivers, fearing they cannot see the front of the car, adjust the seat height higher to gain more visibility. However, this is unnecessary as an excessively high seat can impair distant visibility, such as road signs in the distance. For most sedans and SUVs, maintaining a distance of one to two fists between the head and the roof (varies slightly by model) is ideal, ensuring the eye level is positioned slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield.

What to Do If the Thermostat Fails?

The thermostat should be replaced immediately if it fails. The thermostat is part of the cooling system and is used to control the coolant's circulation between the large and small loops. Water-cooled engines rely on the continuous circulation of coolant within the engine for heat dissipation. Water-cooled engines require antifreeze, which has two circulation paths within the engine: one is the large loop, and the other is the small loop. When the antifreeze is in the small loop, it does not pass through the radiator for cooling, which helps the engine warm up quickly. Once the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, the antifreeze switches to the large loop, where it passes through the radiator for cooling, keeping the engine within a reasonable operating temperature range. The component responsible for switching between the large and small loops is the thermostat. If the thermostat is damaged, the antifreeze cannot switch between the loops, which will affect the engine's normal operation. If the antifreeze remains in the small loop, it can cause the engine to overheat. Continuing to operate the engine under overheating conditions can easily lead to cylinder scoring.

Why does the car hesitate when starting?

The possible reasons for the car hesitating when starting are as follows: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: The most common cause of severe hesitation is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. The uneven quality of fuel and congested urban road conditions contribute to the easy formation of carbon deposits. A dirty throttle body can cause it to not close properly or the idle stepper motor to stick, both of which can result in high engine idle speed and hesitation after a cold start. 2. Poor ignition system performance: Faulty spark plugs or ignition modules, as well as poor spark plug firing, can also lead to hesitation. Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Such faults are relatively common and can be resolved by replacing the relevant components. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor's readings are incorrect or malfunctioning, hesitation can occur. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor for normal operation.

What does a commercial version of a car mean?

Commercial vehicles refer to vehicles that have been approved by the competent authorities by the end of the reporting period and are eligible to participate in commercial operations. This includes vehicles that are technically sound, under repair, awaiting repair, long-term parked, and those intended for scrapping but not yet approved by the higher authorities. However, it does not include non-commercial vehicles of the enterprise (such as cable cars, tankers, trucks) or borrowed passenger vehicles. Cars generally come in standard, low, mid, and high-end versions, which respectively refer to: 1. Low-end: Generally simplified configuration, without leather seats or power windows, lacking many electronic control functions; 2. Standard: Includes normal electric controls such as power windows, power steering, air conditioning, etc.; 3. Mid-range: Slightly more advanced than standard, not only including all standard features but also possibly adding airbags, sunroof, leather seats, power seats, seat heating, etc.; 4. High-end: Higher than all the above configurations, can also be considered the flagship version of the model.

Why does the Odyssey's exhaust pipe make a popping sound?

There are many reasons for abnormal exhaust pipe noise, mainly including exhaust pipe aging, vehicle three-way catalytic converter failure, vehicle ignition system failure, abnormal concentration of combustible mixed gas, etc. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Exhaust pipe aging: When a car is too old, the exhaust pipe is prone to aging problems, leading to loosening, detachment, or holes, which ultimately cause abnormal exhaust pipe noise. This situation is relatively simple to resolve, requiring only re-fixing or replacing the exhaust pipe. 2. Vehicle three-way catalytic converter failure: If the vehicle's three-way catalytic converter fails, it cannot properly purify exhaust gases, causing them to block and compress inside, leading to abnormal exhaust pipe noise. This situation requires professional inspection and repair at a repair shop or 4S store. 3. Vehicle ignition system failure: If the vehicle's ignition system fails, fuel cannot burn normally in the cylinders, and the vehicle may experience symptoms such as weak acceleration, easy stalling, and abnormal exhaust pipe noise. This situation also requires a detailed inspection of the vehicle's ignition system. 4. Abnormal concentration of combustible mixed gas: If the concentration of mixed gas in the engine is too high or too low, it will cause abnormal combustion, leading to abnormal exhaust pipe noise. This situation is more complex and requires professional inspection at a repair shop or 4S store.
