Press the setting button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, navigate to the tire pressure monitoring system in the settings menu, then long-press the setting button and save the tire pressure to reset the tire pressure warning light. Below is more information about automotive tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure is crucial for driving stability - it should neither be too high nor too low. 2. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the road surface, decreasing traction and negatively affecting vehicle handling and stability. 3. Underinflated tires may develop wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, which shortens tire lifespan and increases the risk of blowouts.

I've been driving a Ford Kuga for several years, and encountering the tire pressure light is a common occurrence. This usually indicates an issue with tire pressure, so the first step is to check if all four tires' pressure is within the 32-35 PSI range. If the tire pressure is normal but the light remains on, a manual reset is needed. Start the engine without driving, locate the settings button either below the steering wheel or on the dashboard, navigate to the menu, and find the 'Tire Pressure Monitoring Reset' option. Select it and wait for the system to calibrate itself; the light should turn off after driving for a few minutes. Never ignore this light, as unstable tire pressure can severely damage your tires and increase fuel consumption. Last time I forgot to reset it, I later discovered a small stone stuck in the valve stem—once removed, everything returned to normal. Properly adjusted tire pressure also enhances comfort and reduces bumpiness.

What is the braking distance for the Category 3 test?

According to the voice prompt, you should decelerate (by applying the brake and downshifting if necessary) within 3 seconds. Theoretically, during the Category 3 test, when approaching intersections or pedestrian crossings, you should start braking 100 meters ahead to slow down. Once the Category 3 braking system recognizes the action, gently release the brake pedal: 1. If you observe that the road ahead requires slowing down, regardless of your current speed, be prepared to brake and decelerate. 2. Approximately 20 meters before the deceleration zone, prepare to slow down. Some test centers may have deceleration signs or markings in the deceleration area, which can serve as reference points. Braking too early is ineffective because the system hasn't started recognition yet. 3. When decelerating, release the accelerator with your right foot and lightly press the brake (the pressure depends on your speed, but since Category 3 driving speeds are generally low, a slight press is sufficient), then hold for 2 seconds.

Is it necessary to return to neutral gear when shifting in Subject 3?

Subject 3 requires returning to neutral gear when shifting. Below is a detailed introduction to the Subject 3 examination: 1. Overview: Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. 2. Examination content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation for getting on the vehicle, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears up and down, changing lanes, pulling over to the side, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting other vehicles, etc.

Do I need to watch traffic lights when making a U-turn in Subject 3?

1、U-turn and traffic lights: A: If the side of the road center near your driving lane is a dashed line, you don't need to consider the traffic light and can make a U-turn directly. B: If the side of the road center near your lane is a solid line/there is a divider, you need to wait for the green light before crossing the stop line to make a U-turn. 2、U-turn in the innermost straight lane: A: If the innermost lane is a straight lane and the center line of the road is a double solid line, then left turns are absolutely prohibited here, and U-turns are not allowed. B: If the innermost lane is a straight lane, but the side of the center line near your lane is a dashed line, then you can make a U-turn at any time. 3、U-turn in the outermost left-turn lane: In some intersections in real life, due to certain reasons, the outermost lane is set as a left-turn lane. When the left-turn light is on, you can make a U-turn.

How many points are deducted for failing to start the engine in Subject 3 of the driving test?

The "Motor Vehicle Driver Training Teaching and Examination Syllabus" stipulates that stalling the engine once due to improper operation in Subject 3 results in a deduction of 10 points. If these 10 points are deducted, it means no further mistakes leading to point deductions are allowed in the subsequent procedures. If points have already been deducted before stalling, this stalling will result in failing the examination. After stalling, to start again: press the brake pedal, slowly release the clutch until you feel the car body shaking, as if an arrow is about to be released from the bowstring, then slowly release the brake while keeping the clutch steady with the left foot. When releasing the brake, the car should move forward instead of rolling backward. The intensity of the car body shaking is something you need to feel during practice. Releasing the brake too early may result in insufficient force, causing the car to roll backward, while not releasing the brake when the shaking is very intense may easily lead to stalling.

Is it necessary to install an engine guard plate for a new car?

It is necessary to install an engine guard plate. Here are the relevant introductions about the engine guard plate: 1. Keep the engine compartment clean: During the operation of the car, it is inevitable to pass through some places with a lot of dust. After installing the engine guard plate, it can prevent road water and dust from entering the engine compartment, keeping the engine compartment clean. It will also be relatively simple to clean without producing excessive oil sludge. 2. Extend the service life of the engine: When the car is driving at high speed, it may roll up sand and stones, which have a relatively large impact on the engine. Over time, it will affect the engine, easily causing engine failure and affecting the service life of the engine. 3. Avoid scratches on the engine: When driving on some uneven roads, there may be a phenomenon of dragging the bottom. After dragging the bottom, it will cause scratches on the car engine. With the engine guard plate, scratches on the engine can be avoided, and the engine can be better protected. If the engine guard plate is damaged, it can be directly replaced. If the engine fails due to dragging the bottom, the maintenance cost may be relatively high.

Will Points Be Deducted for Rolling Back in Subject Three?

Rolling back in Subject Three will result in point deductions. If the vehicle rolls back less than 30 centimeters during the Subject Three test, 10 points will be deducted. Rolling back more than 30 centimeters will result in failing the test. Details are as follows: 1. Subject Three is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referring to the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. 2. Road driving skills include: preparation before starting, simulated light test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning at intersections, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night, etc. The test content varies depending on the type of vehicle. 3. Safe civilized driving knowledge includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, and knowledge of handling after traffic accidents.
