The key points for adjusting low beam headlights are as follows: 1. Adjust facing a wall: Position the car perpendicular to a wall, approximately 10 meters away. 2. Use high beams for adjustment: Generally, if the high beams are properly adjusted, the low beams will also be correct. It's advisable not to adjust using low beams alone as it's harder to determine if the high beams are properly aligned. 3. Adjust one at a time: Cover the light not being adjusted with a cloth and adjust them one by one. Below are precautions for adjusting low beam headlights: 1. Adjusting height: If the headlights haven't been replaced, usually only height adjustment is needed, as the left-right alignment is typically accurate. 2. Adjusting headlights: Note that the left headlight (from the driver's perspective) should be slightly lower than the right one to avoid dazzling oncoming vehicles, which could compromise safety. 3. Nighttime adjustment: It's best to adjust at night, but avoid doing so on roads due to safety concerns and poor visibility of the adjustment effects. Opt for a residential area or a courtyard instead. Prepare a flashlight as it's hard to see clearly at night.

The Internal and External Circulation Indicators of the Magotan

The internal and external circulation indicators of the Magotan are located on the car's center console, featuring a car symbol with a circular arrow inside. Here is an introduction to the internal and external circulation of the Magotan: 1. Principle of External Circulation: When the external circulation is activated, the car's fan draws air from outside the vehicle and delivers it inside, allowing the external and internal air to circulate. Even if the fan is not turned on, air will still enter the car while driving, providing fresh external air. Even when the car's air conditioning is turned off during driving, air continues to be drawn into the car due to the external circulation setting. However, if the car is driven in urban areas with the external circulation on, the interior may fill with exhaust fumes. 2. Principle of Internal Circulation: When the internal circulation is activated, the airflow passage between the inside and outside of the car is closed. If the car's fan is not operating, there will be no airflow circulation inside the car. When the fan is working, it draws air from inside the car, maintaining internal airflow circulation. Activating the internal circulation effectively prevents external dust and harmful gases from entering the car, reducing exposure to harmful external air. For example, when driving through areas with smoke, dust, strong odors, or heavy traffic, it helps block some harmful gases. In general, if the external air quality is poor, it is advisable to turn on the internal circulation.

How long after passing the C1 subject 1 test can you take the subject 2 test?

For a C1 driver's license, you can take the subject 2 test 10 days after passing the subject 1 test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," after passing the subject 1 test for a C1 license, you can schedule the subject 2 test online 10 days later. This provides ample time to prepare for the subject 2 content. Each subject 2 test appointment includes two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it once for free. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test is terminated, and you can reschedule the subject 2 test after 10 days. The required practice time for subject 2 is 16 hours and 14 hours respectively. Within the validity period of the driver's license learning, the number of subject 2 test appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth appointment, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driver's license, you must restart the process from subject 1. Subject 2 test content: The ability to complete test items by driving a motor vehicle within a designated area; the mastery of motor vehicle driving skills; the ability to judge the spatial position of a motor vehicle. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Some regions have a sixth item: high-speed card collection. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting into the car, be sure to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten your seatbelt. When parallel parking, remember to find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For stopping on a slope, 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 turning at a right angle, find the point quickly and react promptly to turn, coordinating with the car's speed to avoid deviation. For driving through curves (S-curves), slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving skills during practice can pass through quickly in one go. When reversing into a garage, control the speed carefully, find the reference point accurately, and make minor adjustments if there is any deviation observed in the rearview mirror. There are three subjects in the driver's license test: subject 1, subject 2, and subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the test on field driving skills. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense. The safe and civilized driving common sense test is conducted after subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as subject 4.

How Many Volkswagen Models Have Lettering on the Rear Emblem?

There are a total of 5 Volkswagen models with lettering below the emblem, including the Passat, Phideon, Teramont, Tharu, and the discontinued Phaeton. Here are the relevant introductions to several Volkswagen models: 1. Volkswagen Phaeton: The Volkswagen Phaeton held a very high status in China, but this model has long been discontinued. The discontinuation of the Phaeton left many Volkswagen fans feeling deeply saddened. This understated yet luxurious Volkswagen Phaeton can be said to embody the pinnacle of Volkswagen's technology, with a highly futuristic interior and very powerful performance. Although it appears low-key and moderate from the outside, the interior is exceptionally luxurious, and it excels in both power and handling. The understated luxury of the Volkswagen Phaeton even led many fans to pay a premium for it. 2. Volkswagen Phideon: Many rumors suggest that the Volkswagen Phideon is actually the successor to the Volkswagen Phaeton. This C-class sedan shares some similarities in appearance with the Phaeton, but compared to the Phaeton, the Phideon has a more business-oriented style. Inside, one can still feel a quite luxurious atmosphere. Although the Volkswagen Phideon aims to inherit the glory of the Phaeton, the results have not been very satisfactory. Many believe that the Phideon fails to reach the level of the Phaeton and has lost the essence of the Phaeton. 3. Volkswagen Touareg: The older models of the Touareg did not have lettering on the rear, but the newer models introduced lettering for the first time. The appearance of this model aligns with Volkswagen's philosophy, always being very low-key. However, the V6 emblem on the rear confirms the identity of this car. This SUV is quite impressive, and at one point, the lettering on the rear was considered a hallmark of Volkswagen's most expensive model. However, this design has gradually become more common across other Volkswagen models. 4. Volkswagen Teramont: The appearance of this model differs from previous ones. This German car exudes elegance while also having a muscular feel reminiscent of American cars. What makes the Teramont most appealing to Chinese consumers is its enormous space and incredibly strong performance. This is yet another understated yet luxurious model, becoming one of the top choices in the mid-to-large SUV segment and holding its own against competitors like the Toyota Highlander.

What are the new regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections?

New regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections: 1. Expanded exemption scope for motor vehicle inspections: On the basis of exempting non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or less from inspections within 6 years, non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years are now included in the exemption scope. For non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. 2. Relaxed age requirements for applying for a small car driver's license: To better adapt to the new demands of an aging society, the upper age limit of 70 years for applying for a small car, small automatic transmission car, or light motorcycle driver's license has been removed. For individuals aged 70 and above applying for a driver's license, additional tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities are added to ensure their physical condition meets safe driving requirements. 3. Optimized application conditions for large and medium-sized passenger and truck driver's licenses: The lower age limit for applying for a large bus or tractor driver's license has been reduced from 26 and 24 years to 22 years, while the upper age limit for applying for large and medium-sized passenger and truck driver's licenses has been adjusted from 50 to 60 years. Additionally, the interval for upgrading licenses has been shortened. For those without a full-point record in the corresponding scoring cycle, the required time to apply for a large bus driver's license after obtaining a large truck driver's license has been reduced from at least 5 years to 3 years, and the time to apply for a tractor or medium-sized bus driver's license has been reduced from at least 3 years to 2 years, further meeting the needs of the public and passenger and freight transport companies. 4. Expanded scope of medical institutions for physical examinations: For submitting physical condition certificates required for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license, eligible medical institutions have been expanded from county-level or military regiment-level medical institutions to include secondary or higher hospitals, township health centers, community health service centers, and health examination centers with health examination qualifications, adapting to the new situation of national public health development and improving service coverage in rural and remote areas, making it more convenient for county and township residents to access services nearby. 5. Convenience for shared vehicles in families with disabled members: Individuals holding a small automatic transmission car driver's license (C2) or above can drive small automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for upper-limb disabled individuals, facilitating shared vehicle use among family members of disabled individuals and others who assist in their transportation, thereby better safeguarding the rights of disabled individuals. 6. Regulations on motor vehicle annual inspection timing: The timing for motor vehicle annual inspections is determined by the initial registration date of the vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is June 2015, then the annual inspection time is every June. Additionally, according to the newly revised Article 40 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location up to three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. This means that vehicles due for inspection in June can undergo the annual inspection at the testing station in April, May, or June.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise in New Car Shock Absorbers?

Shock absorber abnormal noise is caused by oil leakage or aging of the top seat plane bearing of the shock absorber. Below are the specific reasons for shock absorber abnormal noise: Shock absorber oil leakage: When the shock absorber leaks oil, the internal shock cylinder cannot be effectively lubricated, resulting in significant friction noise during operation. Aging of the shock absorber top seat plane bearing: The plane bearing is located in the engine compartment. Open the hood and press the car body to check if the noise comes from the shock absorber top seat. If it does, it is likely due to aging of the plane bearing. If the shock absorber spring is deformed or broken, the entire shock absorber spring must be replaced.
