The solutions for car key failure and inability to start the car are as follows: 1. The remote key usually has a metal key blade. There is generally a switch on the remote key; flipping it allows you to pull out the key blade. Insert this blade directly into the door's keyhole to open and lock the car door. 2. Depending on the brand, there are usually three methods to start the car when the remote key fails: (1) Place the remote key against the push-to-start button and wait a moment to start the car (this method works for most vehicles). (2) Locate the remote key slot (often hidden somewhere inside the car, such as inside the center console or under the cup holder mat), insert the remote key into this slot, and wait a moment for the car to sense the key before starting. (3) Find the hidden mechanical keyhole (usually concealed behind the push-to-start button, which may need to be removed), insert the key blade from the remote key, and start the car as you would with a regular vehicle.

Will Points Be Deducted for Touching the Brake in Subject 2?

In Subject 2, touching the brake will not result in point deductions because it is necessary during the test. During the Subject 2 exam, maneuvers such as parallel parking, reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, etc., all require the use of the brake. Especially for reversing into a parking space and parallel parking, gear shifting is also required, making it essential to use the brake. Computerized Analysis and Judgment: During the Subject 2 exam, a computerized system analyzes and determines whether points should be deducted. Stopping midway means the speed is zero, and if the pause exceeds two seconds, it will be judged as an intermediate stop. At this point, you can press the brake. Even if you press it too hard and cause the car to stop, as long as you release the clutch and continue driving within two seconds, no points will be deducted. Fundamentals of Subject 2: Subject 2 requires mastering the basic driving operation essentials and having the fundamental ability to control the vehicle. You must be proficient in the basic methods of driving on the test site and internal roads, capable of reasonably using vehicle controls and correctly managing the vehicle's spatial position. This includes accurately controlling the vehicle's position, speed, and route.

What does engine braking mean for a car?

Engine braking means: lifting the throttle pedal without depressing the clutch, using the compression resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance to create a braking effect on the drive wheels. Here is some relevant information: 1. Modern cars have increasingly powerful engines and higher speeds, while internal friction losses are decreasing, which means the vehicle's own deceleration capability is reduced. At the same time, due to the increase in total vehicle mass, relying solely on the main braking system is no longer sufficient to meet braking demands under high-speed and heavy-load conditions. 2. To ensure safety performance, auxiliary braking systems must be added. Many countries (such as Germany, France, and Switzerland) have made auxiliary braking devices a mandatory requirement for commercial vehicles in their traffic regulations. Currently, the most mature auxiliary braking device used in vehicles is the retarder.

Should a Water-Cooled Motorcycle Be Filled with Water or Antifreeze?

Water-cooled motorcycles should be filled with antifreeze. It is essential to use high-quality antifreeze for water-cooled motorcycles, as adding water can cause rust and corrosion in the radiator and engine. If water is used, over time, scale will gradually form inside the cooling system, becoming thicker and thicker. This reduces the volume of the water passages and slows down the flow of coolant, which affects the dissipation of engine heat, leading to increased engine temperature, reduced power output, and shortened engine lifespan. Introduction to Antifreeze: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Anti-Corrosion Function: Engines and their cooling systems are made of metals, including copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals, when exposed to water at high temperatures for extended periods, will corrode and rust. Antifreeze, on the other hand, not only prevents corrosion in the engine cooling system but also has anti-corrosion and rust-removal properties.

Do I Need to Drain the Original Windshield Washer Fluid Before Adding Antifreeze Washer Fluid?

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to drain the windshield washer fluid before refilling it. It is generally sufficient to add new fluid when the existing one runs out. Windshield washer fluid is a type of liquid used frequently in vehicles, primarily for cleaning the front windshield. Additionally, unlike coolant, windshield washer fluids from different brands can be used interchangeably without causing issues. Pay Attention to the Antifreeze Rating: When selecting windshield washer fluid, it is important to consider the antifreeze rating. Different antifreeze ratings are suitable for different environmental temperatures. There is one situation where it is necessary to drain the existing washer fluid and replace it entirely—when winter approaches. The previously used washer fluid may have a lower antifreeze rating, and in northern regions with extremely low temperatures during winter, it becomes essential to switch to a washer fluid with a higher antifreeze rating. Before replacing, simply spray out the old fluid using the windshield wipers and then pour in the new fluid. Lubrication Effect: Windshield washer fluid offers significantly better cleaning performance than plain water and also provides a certain level of lubrication, which helps slow down the aging process of the wiper blades and reduces the likelihood of clogging the spray nozzles. Therefore, regardless of the situation, it is advisable to use windshield washer fluid and avoid substituting it with tap water.

Why does a car with GPS installed lose power after being parked for a few days?

GPS vehicle tracking devices installed in cars provide real-time positioning. They remain operational at all times, which inherently consumes power. Precautions for installing GPS: Check the power supply wiring of the GPS navigation system. If the power is sourced from a location that remains live after the engine is turned off, such as a car DVD player with a timer function, the GPS will continue to operate even after the vehicle is turned off (you can check if the navigation box feels warm when the power is off). You can modify the power supply location, such as drawing power from the seat heater or the rear end of the ignition switch, so that the navigation system turns off when the engine is off. If the battery drain is not caused by the navigation system, check for issues with the battery, alternator, charging system, or any electrical leaks. Functions of installing GPS: Map query function allows you to search for your destination on the operation terminal. It can record and save the location information of places you frequently visit and share this information with others. It can also query nearby facilities such as gas stations, hotels, and ATMs. Route planning function enables the GPS navigation system to automatically plan a route based on your set starting point and destination. You can set whether to pass through certain waypoints and whether to avoid highways. The speed trap warning function (electronic dog) alerts you with voice notifications if the GPS map contains speed trap information at intersections. If there is no speed trap information in the map, no alert will be given.

What to Do When the Plastic Underbody Shield of a Car is Broken?

If the plastic underbody shield of a car is damaged, it should be repaired or replaced promptly. The plastic underbody shield protects the engine from impact damage while driving and prevents dirt from accumulating on the engine. Here are some relevant details: 1. If the shield is damaged, it should be repaired or replaced at a 4S shop. 2. The original underbody shields are typically made of plastic or resin, which effectively safeguards the engine and the safety of passengers in the cabin. There are also metal underbody shields, which generally do not pose significant issues under normal circumstances. However, in the event of a collision, the engine may impact the metal plate, potentially causing severe harm to the passengers. The underbody shield not only protects the engine from damage but also helps keep the engine compartment clean by preventing dust and mud from entering.
