In the third subject of the driving test, a mismatch between speed and gear directly results in a deduction of 10 points. Below are the relevant details about the gear shifting project in Subject 3: 1. Downshifting operation: When the speed slows down, you can shift to fourth gear when it drops below 50 mph, to third gear when it drops below 40 mph, to second gear when it drops below 30 mph, and to first gear when it drops below 20 mph; 2. Upshifting must be done one gear at a time, and downshifting must also follow the instructions. Since the vehicle speedometer may show a slight difference from the actual speed, candidates should perform the gear shift when the speed is slightly higher or lower than indicated on the speedometer; 3. The gear shifting project has specific time requirements. Shifting gears too slowly or depressing the clutch for too long will generally result in failure. During the practice session at the test site, candidates should memorize the gear shifting process. During the actual test, when the test vehicle enters the gear shifting project, candidates can adjust the vehicle speed in advance to approach the shifting speed. When the voice prompt is given, they can quickly perform the gear shift.

What are the conditions for returning or exchanging a car?

According to the Automobile Three Guarantees Law, the conditions for returning or exchanging a car are as follows: 1. The vehicle has undergone two repairs for serious safety performance failures: If the serious safety performance failure has not been resolved or a new serious safety performance failure occurs. 2. After the engine or transmission has been replaced twice: Or if the same major component of the engine or transmission has been replaced twice due to quality issues and still cannot function properly. The replacement counts for the engine, transmission, and their major components are not duplicated. 3. Steering system, braking system: Or if the same major component of the suspension system, front/rear axle, or body has been replaced twice due to quality issues and still cannot function properly.

How Often Should the Final Drive Oil Be Changed?

The final drive oil can be changed every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. For specific models, please refer to the maintenance manual. Here is an introduction to the final drive oil: 1. Introduction to Final Drive Oil: The final drive is actually the part connecting the two rear wheels of a car. The correct technical term for the final drive is the final reduction ratio gear. Final drive oil is the oil injected into those gears. Final drive oil is just a customary term; in layman's terms, it is actually gear oil, also known as differential oil. 2. Functions of Final Drive Oil: Final drive oil is used in various gear transmission devices to prevent tooth surface wear, scratches, sintering, etc., thereby extending their service life and improving power transmission efficiency. Gear oil should have good anti-wear and load-bearing properties, as well as appropriate viscosity. Final drive oil should also have good thermal oxidation stability, anti-foaming properties, water separation performance, and rust prevention properties. Since gear loads are generally above 490 MPa, and the load on hypoid gear surfaces can reach as high as 2,942 MPa, extreme pressure anti-wear agents are often added to gear oil to prevent oil film rupture, which can cause tooth surface wear and scratches. Sulfur-phosphorus or sulfur-phosphorus-nitrogen additives are commonly used. The working temperature of gear oil is generally lower than that of internal combustion engine oil and largely varies with environmental temperature changes. The oil temperature of vehicle gear oil generally does not exceed 100 degrees Celsius.

Why is it not recommended to repair dented side skirts?

Here are the reasons why repairing dented side skirts is not recommended: 1. Side skirts are inherently prone to friction: Many repair shops fail to apply the adhesive particle layer after sheet metal work, making side skirts vulnerable to damage. If the repair is not professionally done, the surface may become uneven over time and eventually develop cracks. Additionally, the original anti-rust layer inside the side skirt may be damaged during sheet metal work, leading to rusting from the inside out in the future. However, this can be mitigated by spraying anti-rust wax into small holes yourself. 2. For plastic materials: Generally, pouring hot water to try to make the dent pop out is sufficient, as plastic has some elasticity. If that doesn't work, specialized suction tools can be used for pulling, followed by touch-up paint.

How to Determine if the Engine Has Taken in Water

Here are the methods to determine if the engine has taken in water: 1. Check the engine oil condition: Normal engine oil colors include light yellow, brown, or transparent colorless, but it is generally not milky white. Use the dipstick to check for the presence of a milky white oil-water mixture. If present, it indicates water has entered the engine. 2. Inspect the air filter: Check the air filter and the lower housing for obvious signs of water ingress. Also, examine the intake pipe and intake manifold for clear traces of water. 3. White smoke from the exhaust pipe: When there is water in the engine fuel or combustion chamber, the heat from combustion turns the water into steam, which exits through the exhaust pipe as white smoke. If white smoke appears after the vehicle has driven through water, it is highly likely that the engine has taken in water.

Can Mr. Muscle Clean Car Glass Oil Film?

Mr. Muscle should not be used. Here is an introduction to cleaning car glass oil film: 1. If the glass only has slight stains: You can use a towel to wipe hard without using car body cleaner, and it can generally be cleaned. 2. If ordinary methods are difficult to remove: You can use a chemical synthetic agent specially designed to remove oil film to wipe. After completely removing the dirt, apply a window protective agent that prevents dirt and oil film from adhering to the glass surface. The protective agent will turn white when dried, and you only need to wipe it off with a soft cloth. Generally speaking, after applying the protective agent, the transparency of the glass will be greatly improved. In addition to completely removing the glass oil film, these protective agents can also fill the fine pores on the glass, making the glass smoother and forming a protective film, making it difficult for oil film to adhere to the front windshield, and allowing the wiper to more easily remove water from the glass.
