The production date in the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is located in positions 10 to 17 (VIS), with the 10th digit indicating the production year of the vehicle. The VIN breakdown is as follows: 1. VIN positions 1 to 3: The 1st digit represents the country or region of production, while digits 2 to 3 indicate the manufacturer and vehicle type; 2. VIN positions 4 to 9: Digits 4 to 8 provide information about the vehicle's model, series, body type, and engine type, with the 9th digit serving as a check digit; 3. VIN positions 10 to 17: The 10th digit denotes the production year, the 11th digit is the assembly plant code, and digits 12 to 17 represent the production sequence number.

How to See the Rear of the Car Through the Rearview Mirror?

Methods to see the rear of the car through the rearview mirror: 1. When the rear car occupies the entire rearview mirror, the distance is about 3 meters; 2. When the rear car occupies two-thirds of the rearview mirror, the distance is about 5 meters; 3. When the rear car occupies half of the rearview mirror, the distance is about 9 meters; 4. When the rear car occupies one-third of the rearview mirror, the distance is about 12 meters. The rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the front of the car and inside the car, reflecting the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these positions clearly, acting as a "second pair of eyes" and expanding the driver's field of vision. For the convenience of the driver, to prevent traffic safety accidents, and to ensure personal safety, all countries require that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction.

What Does the Red Circle Exclamation Mark on the Car Dashboard Mean?

The red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside) represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating brake system issues, other exclamation marks on the car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. A visit to a 4S shop is necessary for inspection to identify the fault source. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Timely replacement of transmission oil is required. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs like turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

Which Button is for the Car Mirror Heater?

The mirror heater button is generally located near the mirror adjustment buttons, and its icon typically depicts a small mirror with wavy lines. Primary Function: Mirrors help expand the driver's field of vision, regulate pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and maintain traffic order. While driving, they can prevent many accidents. They are primarily used at various road curves and intersections, allowing drivers to see vehicles around corners and avoid collisions. Main Principle: When parallel light rays strike a convex mirror, the reflected rays diverge. If these reflected rays are extended backward in the opposite direction, they will converge and meet at a single point behind the mirror's surface, known as the principal focus of the convex mirror.

How many questions are there in Subject 4 of the driving test?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," Subject 4 consists of a total of 50 questions, with each question worth 2 points, totaling 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test includes various question types such as image analysis, animated case studies, and textual descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, recognition of common traffic signs, markings, and gestures, knowledge of traffic accident rescue and handling of common hazardous chemicals, comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors and case analysis, emergency avoidance knowledge, safe driving knowledge, and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. If the first attempt on the same day is unsuccessful, a retake can be conducted immediately. If it still fails, a new appointment is required, and no additional fees are charged for retakes. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes. If 10 points (5 questions) are lost during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driving license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, with question formats such as animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No additional fees are required for Subject 4 retakes. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skill test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skill and safety and civilization driving knowledge test.
