The methods to check a car's production date are as follows: 1. The nameplate in the engine compartment. Inside the engine compartment, there is usually an aluminum nameplate that displays the car's serial number, engine displacement, model, brand, and importantly, the specific production date. 2. The small nameplate around the door seam. In addition to the nameplate in the engine compartment, there is also a small nameplate around the driver's or passenger's door seam, which clearly states the car's brand, model, production date, etc. 3. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) under the windshield. Generally, there is a VIN under the front windshield of a car. The 10th digit of the VIN represents the production date of the car. Each vehicle has a unique VIN, but the production date can always be found. 4. The instruction manual provided when purchasing the car. Usually, the car's instruction manual explicitly states the production date of the car.

How to Control Vehicle Speed in Subject 2 Driving Test?

Mastering the clutch means mastering speed control. Here are key points for clutch control: 1. Key Point 1: Learn the correct foot position - place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal with your heel touching the ground. When fully depressed, keep your knee slightly bent. 2. Key Point 2: Female drivers should avoid high heels. Never use just your toes or lift your heel, as this reduces control force. Avoid prolonged semi-engaged states to prevent clutch wear. 3. Key Point 3: Don't release the clutch too quickly or deliberately rev the engine too high, as this accelerates clutch wear. Always fully depress the clutch when shifting gears and release the accelerator. If gear shifting fails, release and re-engage the clutch instead of forcing the gear.
