When parking on an uphill road using the service brake, the method is as follows: Braking means stopping the vehicle. When driving uphill, the speed naturally decreases due to gradient resistance, resulting in a shorter braking distance compared to level roads. Therefore, braking should be applied later than on level roads, with only light braking needed on gentle slopes. The method for using the service brake when driving downhill is: When driving downhill, the speed gradually increases due to gravity, so the braking distance for stopping on a downhill road is longer than on level roads, requiring earlier braking than on level roads. The brake is divided into the service brake (foot brake) and the parking brake (hand brake).

Can I drive on the road if I have passed Subject 4 but haven't received my license yet?

No, driving without a license is considered unlicensed driving, which is an illegal act. According to traffic laws, driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, or during the period when the license is revoked or temporarily suspended, or handing over the motor vehicle to someone who has not obtained a motor vehicle driver's license or whose license has been revoked or temporarily suspended, will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and may also be accompanied by a detention of up to 15 days. However, generally speaking, after completing Subject 4, you can receive your license on the spot, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident handling. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.

How many kilometers can a full tank of gas last for the new BMW 5 Series 525li?

New BMW 5 Series 525li can run 500-600 kilometers on a full tank of gas. Here is the relevant introduction of the new BMW 5 Series 525li: 1. The size of the fuel tank capacity measures the ability of a car to carry fuel; 2. The size of the fuel tank is directly related to the fuel consumption of the car, generally a full tank can run more than 500 kilometers; 3. Each model has a different fuel tank capacity, and even the same type of car from different brands has different fuel tank capacities; 4. However, most car manufacturers follow a rule that a full tank of gas generally supports driving about 600 kilometers, and will not be less than 500 kilometers.

What is the phenomenon of steering wheel movement when driving on a straight road?

Turning the steering wheel is a rotational phenomenon, which involves rotation around a fixed point. The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. When using a larger-diameter steering wheel for turning, the hand force required from the driver can be reduced. Composition of the steering wheel: 1. Frame: The frame is usually made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy, and some manufacturers are experimenting with cheaper and lighter magnesium alloys. The frame is produced through die-casting. A few manufacturers still use steel sheet metal for the frame, resulting in a more complex structure. 2. Foam: The foam material is generated in a foaming machine, with the frame fixed in the foaming machine during production.

What Causes Windshield Fogging When Using Air Conditioning?

Windshield fogging when using air conditioning is caused by the significant temperature difference between the interior and exterior environments. Solutions for windshield fogging: 1. Front windshield defrosting: Generally, based on the driving environment, the front windshield defrost function can be used to treat the front windshield. If equipped with automatic air conditioning and the ability to select air vent positions, it is recommended to choose the front windshield and central vent positions and turn on the rear windshield heating function. This way, the temperature inside the vehicle is continuously regulated, preventing fogging. 2. Rear windshield heating: If it is not possible to select both directions for air flow simultaneously, turn on the front windshield defrost function and the rear windshield heating function. If the side windows fog up, slightly opening the windows can quickly remove the fog. After closing the windows, once the interior temperature rises, no fog will form.

Can a Spare Tire Run at 100 km/h on the Highway?

Automobile spare tires are divided into two categories: full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. If it is a full-size spare tire, since the size of the original tire and the full-size spare tire are the same, there will be no restrictions on the mileage and speed of the vehicle using the spare tire, and it can run at 100 km/h on the highway. However, if the spare tire is a non-full-size spare tire, the driving speed should not exceed 80 km/h, and when replacing the spare tire, it can only be used on non-driving wheels. For more details, please see the following: 1. The difference between the spare tire and the original tire: The full-size spare tire has exactly the same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any one of the temporarily or completely unusable tires. The non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width than the other four tires and can only be used as a temporary replacement, and only on non-driving wheels. 2. Additional information: The spare tire is actually for emergency use and is not a tire for long-term use. Regardless of the width of the spare tire, manufacturers have special production and usage requirements. Since the spare tire is not used for long-term operation on the vehicle and has no wear, a tire without wear is different from a tire that has been worn out. Using a spare tire on the vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks.

How Many Years Can Private Car Tires Last?

Private car tires can last for 5 years, but they need to be replaced based on actual conditions. Here are the details: Replacement time depends on the situation: If driving under harsh road conditions, such as frequently traveling on gravel roads or often encountering traffic jams, sudden braking, or sharp turns, the replacement interval for tires will be shortened. Tire aging time: The main material of tires is rubber, which undergoes natural aging. This primarily manifests as the tire hardening and the sidewalls developing small cracks. Generally, natural aging occurs within 4-5 years. Tires used for 5 years should be replaced promptly to prevent the risk of blowouts. Observe tire wear: If the tire wear is severe, and the tread pattern has reached the same level as the wear indicators, the tires need to be replaced. Otherwise, braking on wet or slippery roads will be more difficult, and the vehicle may easily lose control. Additionally, driving on excessively rough roads increases the risk of blowouts.
