The methods for adjusting the kingpin inclination angle are: 1. For vehicles with sliding plate front leaf springs, if component wear and deformation are within limits, adjust by adding wedge-shaped shims between the front leaf spring and its seat; 2. For vehicles with articulated front leaf springs, if component wear and deformation are within limits, the kingpin inclination angle cannot be adjusted; 3. For independent suspension front wheel alignment, the adjustment method depends on the structural type. In V-shaped independent suspensions, the kingpin inclination angle is adjusted by rotating the upper swing arm. The kingpin inclination angle is the turning center of the steering wheels when the vehicle turns, and it is a relatively thick pin shaft.

How Many Times Can You Take the Subject 4 Exam?

There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 4 exam. If you fail the first attempt on the day, you can retake it once on the spot. If you still fail, you will need to reschedule the exam. There is no fee for retaking the exam. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the exam within the validity period, the results of any previously passed subjects will be void. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or the driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and common sense test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 exam. Officially, however, there is no such term as Subject 4.

What is the ottimo car?

ottimo refers to the Fiat Ottimo, a model under the Fiat brand. Below is an introduction to the Fiat Ottimo: 1. Interior: It adopts the design of the Fiat Viaggio, with no significant highlights in terms of styling and color schemes, except for slight changes in the seat design. The test drive model mainly features a dark upper and light lower color scheme, with the dashboard made of a combination of soft and hard materials, showcasing excellent craftsmanship. The car has a considerable number of storage compartments, and the trunk space is larger than expected, very flat. However, when the rear seats are folded down, they do not form a completely flat cargo platform, leaving a slope. 2. Engine: The entire series is equipped with a 1.4T engine, and the high-end models also feature a high-power version. In terms of transmission, the Ottimo has one more gear than the Viaggio, replacing the 6-speed dual-clutch with a 7-speed dual-clutch. This transmission addresses two issues present in the Viaggio: firstly, the shift speed has been improved, and secondly, the shift smoothness has been significantly enhanced.

Is Overtaking Prohibited in Tunnels?

Tunnels do not allow overtaking because tunnels themselves are very narrow, making overtaking extremely dangerous. If a vehicle occupies the fast lane at a speed below the stipulated limit, affecting the traffic behind, or exceeds the stipulated speed limit by 50%, in addition to a fine, 3 penalty points will be deducted. Precautions for driving in tunnels: Reduce speed and turn on lights before entering the tunnel: If driving during the day, the light suddenly dims upon entering the tunnel, and the human eye often takes a short time to adapt. Therefore, about 100 meters before entering the tunnel, you should reduce speed, increase the following distance, turn on the headlights, and enter the tunnel safely at a relatively slower speed. Maintain a sufficiently safe following distance: Due to the significant difference in light when entering and exiting the tunnel, vision can be temporarily impaired. Many people instinctively brake, and the vehicle behind may also be entering a state of impaired vision. Therefore, maintaining a longer following distance ensures sufficient safety. No lane changes: Due to poor light inside the tunnel, especially at the exit, and typically only two or three lanes, changing lanes is strictly prohibited inside the tunnel. Always drive in your designated lane and do not overtake. Speeding is strictly prohibited: Tunnels usually have strict speed limits, even on highways. Speed limit signs are prominently displayed before entering the tunnel, and some tunnels also have speed limit reminders inside.

Can a Diesel Engine Stall Due to Low Oil?

Diesel engines can stall due to low oil. The following are specific symptoms when oil is insufficient: 1. Abnormal vibration and reduced power: When oil levels drop to the point of causing low oil pressure, it leads to inadequate lubrication of the engine's friction surfaces, resulting in abnormal vibration and reduced power. In severe cases, it may even cause engine "bearing seizure." Engine "bearing seizure" refers to the burning and erosion of the crankshaft bearings and bearing bushings due to poor lubrication, manifested as abnormal engine vibration until the engine stalls. After stalling, the engine will not be able to restart. 2. Abnormal operation and increased fuel consumption: When oil levels drop to the point of causing low oil pressure, it can also lead to malfunction of the engine's variable timing solenoid valve, preventing precise control of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. This results in abnormal operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption.
