How to License a New Car?

Do I need to retake the written test when changing from C1 to C2?

C1 to C2 is a downgrade of the driver's license, so the written test (Subject 1) does not need to be retaken. The differences between C1 and C2 are as follows: 1. Definition: A C1 license refers to a manual transmission driver's license, while a C2 license refers to an automatic transmission driver's license. 2. Eligible vehicle types: A C1 license allows driving small and micro passenger cars, light and micro trucks, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles, whereas a C2 license permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars and light and micro automatic transmission trucks. The main difference is that a C1 license allows driving both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, while a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Annual physical examination: For C1 license holders, annual physical examinations are required starting at age 70, while for C2 license holders, they are required starting at age 60.

What is the lifespan of a dry dual clutch disc?

Lifespan largely depends on the driver's usage habits and road conditions, such as traffic congestion levels. There is no precise answer, but generally, it requires mandatory replacement at around 100,000 kilometers. When the clutch disc fails, the following symptoms may occur: 1. The clutch disc may burn out, emitting an unusual burnt odor that is very unpleasant. Even with windows closed, the smell can be detected inside the car; 2. There will be a noticeable decline in power performance, especially when climbing hills. The engine RPM increases, but the car does not accelerate; 3. It can lead to increased fuel consumption and reduced power. In severe cases, the clutch disc must be replaced. You can perform a self-check by starting the car, engaging the handbrake, shifting into second gear, and slowly releasing the clutch without pressing the accelerator. Observe whether the engine stalls to determine if the clutch is slipping. If the engine stalls, the clutch is still functional.

Can New National V Vehicles Still Be Registered?

For regions that have already implemented the National VI emission standards, new National V vehicles can no longer be registered. Without license plates, these vehicles cannot be driven on the road. Currently, all vehicles available in the market comply with the National VI standards, but used National V vehicles can still be purchased as the policy is relatively lenient towards second-hand cars. At present, there are no traffic restrictions imposed on National V vehicles, and existing National V vehicles can still operate. How long National V vehicles can remain in use primarily depends on whether they can pass future vehicle inspections, as the National VI inspection standards will undoubtedly become more stringent with higher requirements. Secondly, it depends on the tolerance period set by environmental policies for National V vehicles. The National V standard is equivalent to the Euro 5 standard in the European Union, imposing stricter limits on pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons emitted by motor vehicles. The National VI emission standard was established to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to prevent pollution from exhaust emissions of compression-ignition and gas-fueled ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health.

What is the operation method for the gear shift of the Envision?

The operation method for the gear shift of the Envision is as follows: The gear control lever is located in the middle of the cabin. The P gear is the parking gear, the D gear is the automatic forward gear, the N gear cuts off the engine power and can be used when parking or towing, the R gear is the reverse gear and is used for situations like reversing into a parking space, and the L gear is the high torque gear, suitable for low-speed climbing, etc. The correct operation method to end driving the Envision is: Drive the car into the parking position, step on the brake, pull the handbrake tight, push into P gear, gently lift the foot brake, and pull out the key. Many people are accustomed to parking, pushing into P gear, lifting the foot brake, and then pulling the handbrake. This operation may cause difficulty in shifting gears the next time you drive. After shifting into P gear, lifting the brake pedal may cause the car to move slightly if the ground is uneven. The locking function of the P gear causes the transmission gears to interlock, making it difficult to shift out of gear the next time if they are tightly interlocked.

How to Judge the Distance by the Rearview Mirror?

The following are the methods to judge the distance by the rearview mirror: 1. The larger the size of the following vehicle in the rearview mirror, the closer the distance is; the smaller the size, the farther the distance is. If the following vehicle almost occupies the entire rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 3m; 2. If the following vehicle occupies about 2/3 of the rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 5m; 3. If the following vehicle occupies about 1/2 of the rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 9m; 4. If the following vehicle occupies about 1/3 of the rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 12m. Extended information: There are three 'rear eyes' in the car, which refer to the two side rearview mirrors and the interior rearview mirror. For the exterior rearview mirrors, the horizontal dividing line between the sky and the ground should be in the upper half of the mirror, meaning that two-thirds of the ground and one-third of the sky should be visible in the exterior rearview mirror, ensuring that most road conditions are clearly visible.
