When the fuel gauge light comes on, you can generally drive for about thirty kilometers. Here are some relevant details: 1. Once the fuel indicator light comes on, you should refuel immediately. It's best to refuel before the light comes on. If the fuel tank is low, it could damage the fuel pump or shorten its lifespan. 2. Driving with low fuel can harm the fuel pump. If the fuel light comes on, it's safer to drive within 20 kilometers. Beyond that range, drive cautiously and prepare gasoline in advance. 3. Many cars use fuel-cooled fuel pumps, which rely on gasoline for cooling. The fuel pump is installed inside the fuel tank and depends on gasoline for cooling. Once the low fuel warning light comes on, the gasoline level may no longer cover the fuel pump. Without proper cooling, the pump can overheat and burn out, causing the car to break down.

How to Solve Air Leakage in Quick Release Valve?

The solution for air leakage in a quick release valve is: 1. Disassemble the upper and lower shells of the quick release valve; 2. Remove the damaged diaphragm and replace it with a new one. The quick release valve is used to adjust the ratio of input and output pressure, reducing the braking air pressure on the front axle during lower deceleration to prevent the front wheels from locking up during braking, thereby improving the overall braking performance of the vehicle. The quick release valve consists of an upper shell, diaphragm, sealing ring, and lower shell. The upper and lower shells are connected together with screws, with a sealing ring installed between them, and the diaphragm is placed in the inner cavity of the upper and lower shells. The lower arc surface of the upper shell serves as the deformation support surface for the diaphragm. There is a certain gap between the peripheral part of the diaphragm and the upper and lower shells, allowing it to move up and down.

How long does the first maintenance for a new car take?

The first maintenance for a new car should be performed after about six months or 5,000 kilometers. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after the car has been driven. The inspection items include: 1. Checking the coolant level; 2. Checking the brake and clutch fluid levels; 3. Checking the steering oil tank level and whether there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe interfaces; 4. Checking the battery fluid level and the windshield washer fluid level; 5. Inspecting the tension and aging of the belts for the generator, air conditioner, water pump, and power steering pump. The benefits of the first maintenance for a new car include: 1. Ensuring the vehicle is in optimal performance condition; 2. Improving the vehicle's efficiency and reducing wear on its parts and tires; 3. Enhancing driving safety; 4. Preventing potential hazards caused by vehicle issues; 5. Reducing noise and environmental pollution; 6. Maintaining the vehicle's appearance and preventing damage.

What does the CH on the dashboard mean?

The CH on the dashboard refers to the coolant temperature gauge. The temperature range is from C to H, where C represents 60 degrees. Once the needle reaches C, it indicates the coolant temperature has reached 60 degrees. H represents 110 degrees, and the temperature can be estimated based on the span from 60 to 110 degrees. The reasons for excessively high coolant temperature are: 1. Insufficient coolant due to low fluid levels or leaks; 2. Abnormal cooling caused by a malfunctioning radiator fan; 3. Abnormal circulation cooling due to a faulty water pump; 4. Engine issues or cooling system failures. The reasons for excessively low coolant temperature are: 1. Damaged thermostat; 2. Continuously running radiator fan.

Can Subject 2 and Subject 3 be Scheduled Together?

Yes, they can be scheduled together for consecutive tests. According to Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": The vehicle management office shall arrange the tests according to the scheduled test site and time. After passing Subject 1, the applicant can schedule Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test. In areas with the necessary conditions, the applicant can simultaneously schedule Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests and take them consecutively upon successful scheduling. Subject 2 Test Notes: The first thing after getting in the car is to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten the seat belt. (This seems like a no-brainer, but such basic mistakes are most likely to occur when nervous or flustered). For parallel parking, remember to find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, and react promptly in coordination with the car's speed. For hill starts, 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 right-angle turns, react quickly to turn once the reference point is found, always coordinating with the car's speed to prevent deviation. For curve driving (S-turns), the safest method is to slow down. Those with good driving sense during practice can pass through swiftly in one go. For reverse parking, control the speed carefully, find your reference points, and make minor adjustments if you notice any deviation in the rearview mirrors. Subject 3 Test Notes: Pre-driving preparation: Walk around the car to check tire pressure and the vehicle's exterior. Before opening the door, check for passing vehicles or pedestrians. In-car preparation: Maintain a calm mindset, adjust the seat, check if the rearview mirrors need adjustment, inspect the handbrake, gear, and seat belt. Starting: Check if the dashboard is normal, look at the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, and turn your head to observe traffic behind you—make the movement noticeable for the examiner. Straight-line driving: Keep the car moving straight and turn off the turn signal. Control speed appropriately, maintain a safe distance, and monitor the rearview mirrors for sudden situations. Gear operation: Shift gears smoothly without looking down at the gear lever. Road and traffic handling: Overtaking: Choose the right moment to overtake promptly. Use turn signals when changing lanes. Oncoming traffic: Slow down in advance and proceed with caution. Lane changing: Observe carefully before changing lanes, confirm safety, then turn on the signal. Check the mirrors again to confirm safety before smoothly steering into the desired lane and turning off the signal. Pedestrian crossings: Slow down in advance and yield courteously to pedestrians and vehicles. Intersections: Observe carefully and slow down or stop if necessary. Follow the correct lane based on the driving direction. Pulling over: Slow down, assess road conditions, and choose a parking spot. Park smoothly with the body and wheels aligned. Exiting: Only exit after the computer announces the test is over. Always check the left rearview mirror for safety before opening the door.
