Replacing a clutch plate in a car typically takes 2 to 3 hours, and the replacement cycle for a clutch plate is approximately 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Signs of a damaged clutch plate include: 1. The clutch pedal feels increasingly higher; 2. The car lacks power when climbing hills; 3. A burning smell can be detected after driving for a certain distance; 4. When starting in first gear, the clutch engagement feels uneven, the car jerks forward or backward, and there is a rough sensation when releasing the clutch. In such cases, the clutch plate needs to be replaced. The functions of a clutch plate are: 1. Ensuring smooth car starts: The clutch temporarily disengages the engine from the transmission during startup and then gradually re-engages; 2. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 3. Facilitating gear shifts: During driving, different transmission gears are frequently used to adapt to varying driving conditions.

Can the driving test be extended if it is about to expire?

It is not possible to apply for an extension of the driving test; you must re-register and start the test again. According to Article 32 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' for the initial application for a motor vehicle driving license or the application to add a permitted driving model, after passing the subject one test, the vehicle management office shall issue a driving skill test permit within one day. The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and the applicant must complete subject two and subject three tests within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Since the 'Learning to Drive Certificate' can only be obtained by passing subject one, if subject one is failed, the three-year validity period of the driving test will not take effect. The driving test includes three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). The order of the test subjects is traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as subject one [theory]), field driving (referred to as subject two [nine items]), and road driving (referred to as subject three [road test and safe and civilized driving]), conducted in sequence. During the test, if one subject is failed, the following subjects will not proceed. Each subject test has two opportunities. If both attempts are failed, the current test is terminated. During the validity period of the learning driving license, you can pay the retest fee and take the retest after further study. The retest fee varies depending on local conditions. After completing subject one, you must pass subject two and subject three within three years. If you cannot pass, the test content will be invalidated, and you must re-register for subject one. Under the new regulations, both subject two and subject three have five attempts. If you cannot pass within these five attempts, you must retake subject one.

Why does the ETC beep when passing on the highway?

On the highway, the ETC beeps because it uses microwave communication technology. It is normal for it to make a sound when approaching products that use microwave communication, such as cameras, probes, access control systems, and surveillance devices. This does not affect normal usage. How ETC works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it engages in dedicated short-range communication with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. By leveraging computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with banks, it enables vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic sensing and payment for the vehicle ahead, in case its ETC device is faulty or nonexistent. The ETC lane recognizes vehicle speeds of up to 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may render the electronic tag ineffective. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or to a highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment was not caused by human intervention, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause deduction failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, paying with cash or card. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or those with modified front windshields.

How to Deal with Bird Droppings Corroding Car Paint?

Bird droppings corroding car paint can be handled as follows: 1. If there are only marks left, first rinse the car body with clean water to soften the bird droppings, then use car wash liquid and a towel to wipe the affected area until it is completely clean; 2. If the corrosion has been present for a long time, you can either go to a beauty service shop or perform waxing or touch-up painting yourself. Bird droppings are highly corrosive. If left uncleaned for a long time, they may leave hard-to-remove marks on the car paint at best, or cause the paint to peel off at worst.

What is the starting method for a car?

The starting method for a car involves fully depressing the clutch after starting the engine, then pressing the clutch pedal completely with the left foot, shifting the gear to first gear by pushing the gear lever with the palm of the right hand to engage the first gear as the starting gear. Below is an introduction to car starting: 1. Introduction: The process of a car transitioning from a stationary state to motion is called starting. It is also the first project in learning to drive and the first step that people must go through when driving, though it may be tedious. 2. Classification: Starting on a flat road refers to starting the car on relatively flat ground, while starting on a slope refers to starting the car on a slope or relatively uneven road surface.
