Automatic transmission oil should be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. The replacement interval for transmission oil varies among different vehicle models, so it's important to refer to the car's user manual for specific guidelines. Relevant information is as follows: 1. When the car is in operation, the transmission oil is exposed to high temperatures. Prolonged exposure to high-speed and high-temperature conditions can cause the transmission oil to deteriorate and evaporate. If not replaced in time, deteriorated transmission oil can accelerate the wear of mechanical components and, in severe cases, lead to transmission failure. 2. Failure to replace the transmission oil for an extended period can result in a lack of power when starting the car. Additionally, the transmission may experience slipping during driving.

How Many Days After Passing Subject 3 Can You Take Subject 4?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the waiting period varies depending on the type of license. Taking the C license as an example: After passing the Subject 3 test, you can take Subject 4 on the same afternoon, within 9 days without an appointment, or after 10 days with an appointment. Same Afternoon Direct Exam: Since Subject 4 is the theoretical part of Subject 3, most cities schedule both Subject 3 and Subject 4 together when making appointments. Therefore, on the same afternoon after passing Subject 3, you can directly go to the Subject 4 test center to take the exam. 9-Day No-Appointment Window: With the upgrade of driving test services, some cities have introduced a new model allowing candidates to take Subject 4 within 9 days after passing Subject 3 without an appointment. Candidates can go to the Subject 4 test center with their ID card during this period. Test administrators will group candidates into no-appointment and appointment-based queues for better management. Appointment After 10 Days: The success of scheduling Subject 4 depends on factors such as the current number of test-takers, candidate priority, and temporary arrangements at the test center. Candidates closer to their 3-year validity period have higher priority and are more likely to secure an appointment. Unexpected events (e.g., pandemics) may also affect appointment success rates. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical driving test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It covers safe and civilized driving requirements, knowledge of driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling (e.g., tire blowouts), and post-accident procedures. Subject 4 Exam Notes: Exam Duration: 45 minutes. Question Count: 50 questions (2 points each), proportionally selected from the Subject 4 question bank based on the license type. Question Types: Single-choice (including true/false), multiple-choice, with formats such as animation-based, image-based, scenario recognition, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: Failing Subject 4 only requires retaking Subject 4. The driving school will schedule retakes, which are unlimited and free of charge. Subject 4 Exam Tips: Focus on error-prone areas and understand the reasons behind mistakes. Don’t just memorize correct answers—refer to regulations, textbooks, or reference materials to grasp the underlying concepts. Categorize and summarize questions. Compare similar questions in the question bank to avoid confusion. For example, traffic signs like "Pedestrian," "Crosswalk," and "Caution: Pedestrians" are easily mixed up—group them for better retention. Use memorization techniques. Many questions involve numbers; summarizing these numerically can aid memory. The driving test consists of three main subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3 (which has two parts). Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the "Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test," which is part of Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic laws and regulations, Subject 2 focuses on field driving skills, and Subject 3 includes road driving skills and the safety/civilized driving test (taken after the practical exam).

They offer high elasticity, wear resistance, good traction, and heat dissipation. Tires are a crucial component of a vehicle, being the only part in direct contact with the ground, affecting driving stability and safety. As rubber products, tires age over time and require regular replacement. Typically, tires can be used for about four years when installed on a vehicle, and it is recommended to replace them every four years.

Does the Highlander have an auto-hold function?

Highlander does not have an auto-hold function. Here are the relevant details: 1. Definition: The auto-hold function is designed to prevent unnecessary vehicle slippage without requiring the driver to maintain prolonged braking or manually engage the electronic parking brake. 2. Working Principle: The AUTO-HOLD feature uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force via the control unit. During startup, the parking control unit calculates data from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. It automatically releases the parking brake when the driving force exceeds the running resistance, enabling smooth vehicle acceleration. This significantly reduces the time wasted on manual judgment based on experience.
