How many seconds should the key be held when starting the engine in Subject 3?
1 Answers
When starting the engine in Subject 3, turn the key to the START position to ignite, holding it for no more than 10 seconds. Turning the key to the START position connects the starter circuit, which drives the engine to operate and start. During the Subject 3 exam, failing to release the ignition switch promptly after the engine starts—meaning not releasing the key in time after ignition—will result in a 10-point deduction. Below is an introduction to the content of the Subject 3 exam: 1. The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before driving, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, proceeding straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 2. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
