To stop the car wiper, follow these steps: 1. The wiper switch is controlled by the wiper lever located on the lower right side of the steering wheel. It is a black lever switch. Push it upward and hold to activate the wiper, which will also spray windshield washer fluid. 2. Release the lever to stop the wiper and the washer fluid spray. 3. Moving the lever forward or backward adjusts the wiper speed, which can be selected based on the intensity of the rain. The rear wiper switch is also located on the wiper lever, but it is a separate system from the front wiper and can be controlled independently. There are two types of rear wiper switches: lever-style and knob-style.

I remember driving all these years, it's a bit annoying when the wipers won't stop. The most common way is to turn the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel and move it to the OFF or bottom position to stop them. If they keep moving back and forth in the intermittent mode, make sure to turn it off firmly; some cars may require pressing a button. Don't ignore the reasons: sometimes the switch is stuck, the motor is faulty, or the wiring is loose. If you can't stop them while driving, pull over to a safe place and check, don't push it. Regular maintenance to check the wiper arms and linkages for rust can prevent trouble on the road.

When I first started driving, I was always confused about how to turn off the windshield wipers. Simply put, you operate the small lever behind the steering wheel—turn it to the off symbol to stop them; if it's a button-style car, pressing it does the same thing. Don't panic and operate it hastily on highways or in heavy rain—just try a few times to get familiar with it. If there's no response, try restarting the system after turning off the engine. For safety, if the wipers won't stop, slow down and pull over to prevent them from obstructing your view and avoid accidents.

Unstoppable wipers are dangerous, especially when driving in the rain. Simply turn the control lever to turn them off, but if they malfunction, don't slam on the brakes: first reduce your speed, pull over, and check. Possible causes include a faulty switch or a stuck wiper arm. Get it fixed promptly to avoid hazards. I recommend regularly wiping the wiper blades and cleaning dust off the windshield to extend their lifespan and reduce mid-drive failures.

I often repair my car by myself. To stop the wipers, simply move the control lever to the OFF position. If they get stuck and won't stop, manually lift the wipers to temporarily stop them; check if the switch wires are detached or if there's any foreign object blocking them. After cleaning the connection points between the wiper arm and the motor, try again—this issue is often caused by dust buildup or aging. Regularly inspect the connecting parts in the garage to avoid problems on the road.

What are the scoring criteria for Subject 2?

Failure to fasten seat belt: deduct 100 points. Failure to close car door properly: deduct 100 points. Failure to use turn signal when starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking, or using turn signal for less than 3 seconds: deduct 10 points (Using turn signal for less than 3 seconds is a common reason for point deduction among trainees.) Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Additional information: Most bamboo poles originally placed in mid-air on the new course have been removed. Single garage reversing is adopted. After the implementation of the new regulations, stake test and field test have been merged. The stake test for small cars has been changed to reversing into a garage, and the movement between two stakes has been canceled. During reversing into a garage, trainees are not allowed to stop midway in the test. Once stopped, the test is considered failed.

How long does it usually take for Audi vehicles to be transported to the 4S store?

Normally, it takes about 20-25 days from the down payment to the vehicle's production completion and transportation. The entire process from down payment to vehicle pickup usually takes around 30 days, which is considered normal. Here is some information about Audi: 1. Audi Company: Audi was founded in 1899 by August Horch as A-Horch Automobile Company. Later, due to disagreements with partners, he established August-Horch Automobile Company separately. However, due to a naming conflict, he changed the company name to Audi, the Latin translation of Horch (meaning 'hear' in German). 2. Automotive Brand: Audi is an internationally renowned luxury car brand. The company's headquarters are located in Ingolstadt, Germany. The Audi Group includes its parent company and subsidiaries such as Audi Hungaria, quattro GmbH, Lamborghini, and Coworth Technology, as well as Audi Brazil and Audi Senna.

What is the normal range for tire pressure values?

Generally, the normal range for tire pressure values is 2.3-2.5 bar. At this tire pressure, the vehicle can achieve optimal handling and comfort, and the tires can reach their best working condition. The following are the hazards of both underinflated and overinflated tires: Hazards of underinflated tires: When tire pressure is too low, the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. Underinflation causes greater deformation of the tire body, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking and generating flexing movements, which results in excessive heat buildup. This accelerates rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. Additionally, it makes the steering wheel heavier, prone to drifting, reduces handling performance, and increases tire noise. Hazards of overinflated tires: Overinflation reduces the tire's friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance. It can cause the steering wheel to shake or drift, reducing driving comfort. It accelerates wear on the tire tread patterns and makes the tires more susceptible to bulging or trapping stones. Overinflation also causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the impact and noise during driving. Moreover, when encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tires are more likely to be punctured, leading to blowouts.

Will points be deducted for an unaligned vehicle body in Subject 2?

In the driving test Subject 2 examination, points will not be deducted for an unaligned vehicle body, but points will be deducted if the vehicle body crosses the line. Situations where points are deducted for the vehicle body crossing the line include: during reverse parking, crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction. In the pole test, if the vehicle body crosses the line or the wheels of a two-wheeled motorcycle cross the line, a 100-point deduction is applied. For hill start and stop, if the vehicle body is more than 750px away from the road edge line after stopping, a 10-point deduction is applied. For parallel parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line after stopping in the parking space, a 100-point deduction is applied. Additional information: For the Subject 2 test, the corresponding test site and vehicle should be selected based on the type of driving license being applied for. The pole test is conducted under the supervision of the examiner, while other test items must be completed independently and continuously by the applicant following the designated test route, operational standards, and test instructions.

What brand is the original Audi dash cam?

If the dash cam is not factory-installed, the brand may vary depending on the procurement by the 4S store, and it could differ across different periods. It is best to check the dash cam's label for confirmation. Below is an introduction to car dash cams: 1. Dash Cam: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process, including video and audio, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also document the journey through challenging terrains. While driving, it continuously records videos, capturing time, speed, and location data. 2. Installation Methods: Dash cams are mainly divided into two categories: portable dash cams and integrated aftermarket DVD dash cams. Portable dash cams can be further classified into rearview mirror dash cams and data dash cams. These types of dash cams are characterized by good concealment, easy installation, detachability, low cost, and simple operation. On the other hand, integrated aftermarket DVD dash cams are usually vehicle-specific and can be divided into front-installed and rear-installed types. Installing these dash cams is more costly and challenging, but they maintain the aesthetic appeal of the car's interior. Additionally, some luxury models come with pre-installed dash cams from the factory.
