To shift gears with the Mercedes-Benz column shifter, you can directly push the lever. When the column shifter is in P (Park), pushing it downward engages D (Drive), pushing it upward engages R (Reverse), and if it doesn't reach either position, it's in N (Neutral). Below is an introduction to the column shifter: 1. One button on the column shifter is for P (Park). Gently pushing the lever forward or backward engages N (Neutral), forcefully pushing it forward engages R (Reverse), and forcefully pushing it backward engages D (Drive). The parking brake is replaced by the P (Park) position, which is common in most vehicles. However, remember to press the brake pedal when shifting gears. 2. Column Shifter: There are two types of gear shift lever arrangements in cars—floor-mounted and column-mounted. The gear shift lever located below the steering wheel is called a column shifter.

When Can You Schedule Subject Four After Passing Subject Three?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the timing varies depending on the type of license. For example, for a Class C license: After passing the Subject Three exam, you can take Subject Four on the same afternoon, within 9 days without an appointment, or schedule it after 10 days. Same Afternoon Direct Exam: Since Subject Four is the theoretical part of Subject Three, most cities schedule both Subject Three and Subject Four together when making an appointment. Therefore, on the same afternoon after passing Subject Three, you can directly go to the Subject Four exam site to take the test. No Appointment Within 9 Days: With the upgrade of driving test services, some cities have introduced a new model allowing no-appointment exams within 9 days. Candidates who pass Subject Three can take Subject Four within 9 days by presenting their ID at the exam site. Exam staff will group candidates into no-appointment and appointment groups for easier management. Scheduling After 10 Days: The success of scheduling Subject Four depends on the current number of candidates, student priority, and temporary arrangements at the test center. Candidates closer to their 3-year validity period have higher priority and are more likely to secure an appointment. Unexpected events (e.g., pandemics) may also affect scheduling success. Subject Four, also known as the theoretical driving test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It covers safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling (e.g., tire blowouts), and post-accident procedures. Subject Four Exam Notes: Exam Duration: 45 minutes. Number of Questions: 50 questions, each worth 2 points, proportionally selected from the Subject Four question bank based on the license type. Question Types: Single-choice (including true/false), multiple-choice, with questions presented as animations, images, scenario recognition, or text descriptions. Retake Notes: Failing Subject Four only requires retaking Subject Four, arranged by the driving school. There are no limits on retakes, and no fees are charged for retakes. Subject Four Exam Tips: Focus on error-prone areas and understand the reasons for mistakes. Don’t just memorize correct answers—review regulations, textbooks, or references to grasp the underlying concepts. Categorize and summarize questions. Compare similar questions in the bank to avoid confusion. For example, group traffic signs like "Pedestrian," "Crosswalk," and "Caution: Pedestrians" for clearer understanding. Use memorization techniques. Many questions involve numbers—organize them for easier recall. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One (traffic laws and regulations), Subject Two (field driving skills), and Subject Three (road driving skills and safe driving knowledge). Subject Four is the colloquial term for the safe driving theory test under Subject Three, not a separate subject. The safe driving theory test is conducted after Subject Three.
