There are two methods to release the automatic parking brake in an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. After the engine starts, when the driver's side door is closed and the vehicle begins to move, the parking brake will automatically release. 2. With the ignition switch on or the engine running, press the brake pedal, first pull the handle backward while holding the lock button at the end of the handle, then push the handle all the way down to manually release the parking brake. Below is more information about the parking system: 1. The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance when parking, preventing the vehicle from rolling. The parking brake, whether it's a handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. 2. The parking brake applies much less force compared to the service brake, just enough to prevent the vehicle from rolling when parked on a slope.

Can a Bulging Tire Be Covered by Insurance?

Tire blowouts without external force impact are not covered by insurance companies. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the sidewall of the tire; when worn to the point indicated by the triangle mark, replacement is recommended. Inside the tire tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when worn down to the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. However, bulging tires must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, its lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date can be found on the sidewall of the tire.

What Lights Should Be Turned On in Foggy Conditions?

When driving in foggy conditions, motor vehicles should turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Below are the relevant details: 1. When driving at night without street lights, poor lighting, or encountering low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, motor vehicles should turn on headlights, position lights, and rear position lights. However, high beams should not be used when the following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction. 2. The "Road Traffic Safety Law" clearly states that in severe weather conditions such as heavy fog, drivers should promptly turn on the fog lights on their motor vehicles to make their vehicles visible to other drivers. 3. In extremely low visibility conditions caused by heavy fog, it is best to turn on the vehicle's "hazard lights." According to regulations, "hazard lights" are used when the vehicle or driver encounters an emergency. Heavy fog itself constitutes a special weather condition.

What does OBU anti-tamper failure mean?

OBU being disassembled may be due to the user privately removing or moving the OBU device, causing it to fail. It could also be because the ETC electronic tag fell off or became loose, triggering the anti-collision and anti-tamper switch, leading to OBU failure. In such cases, it is necessary to visit the ETC service point at the highway management office to reactivate the OBU. Below are the relevant details: 1. Unauthorized disassembly: Once the electronic tag is installed, it must not be disassembled without permission. If disassembled, the anti-tamper switch on the electronic tag will be triggered, causing the internal push rod to extend, rendering the ETC ineffective. When passing through the ETC lane on the highway, it will display "OBU (electronic tag) tampered" and normal passage will be denied. 2. Reset application: If the ETC tag fails, you can visit the bank branch that handles ETC services or the highway service office to apply for a reset.

Why Clean the Car Air Conditioning System?

Because after prolonged use, the car air conditioning system accumulates dirt which can impair its performance. Cleaning removes these contaminants to maintain optimal air conditioning functionality. The reasons for cleaning a car's air conditioning system are: 1. Dust and grime accumulate at the air intake vents, ducts, fan, and evaporator surfaces, fostering mold growth within the system; 2. Reduced cooling efficiency accompanied by noticeable unpleasant odors; 3. Prolonged exposure to mold and foul odors in the cabin may cause health issues for occupants. Car air conditioning (abbreviated as car AC) regulates and optimizes cabin temperature, humidity, air purity, and airflow. Its primary functions include: 1. Providing passenger comfort and reducing travel fatigue; 2. Creating ideal working conditions for drivers to ensure road safety.

Will you be notified on-site if the exam photo capture fails?

You will be notified on-site if the exam photo capture fails. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: No matter which driving school you are in, try to arrive about half an hour early before the exam. Since most candidates taking the subject one exam are doing it for the first time, arriving early allows the team leader from each driving school to distribute admission tickets and provide detailed explanations on exam techniques and key points to pay attention to. Note 2: Bring your ID card, as before entering the exam room, you will need to scan your ID card and admission ticket on a card reader to be assigned a seat (randomly assigned number). Note 3: After receiving your seat number, find your seat. It is especially important to emphasize that you should not click the "Confirm" button on the screen until the invigilator gives the instruction. Just sit in your seat and do not perform any operations. If you are unsure, you can ask the invigilator or team leader at the time.
