Gear shifting is indeed tested in the Subject 3 driving exam. During the gear shifting segment, when the voice prompt instructs to perform gear shifting, the candidate should adjust the gear to 2nd gear, sequentially shift up to 5th gear (where the speed must exceed 40km/h), and then sequentially shift down to 2nd gear. Gear Up-shifting Operation: After starting with 1st gear, appropriately press the accelerator to increase speed before upshifting. Accelerate to 15-20 km/h before shifting to 2nd gear. During shifting, release the accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal, move the gear lever to neutral, then release the clutch pedal. Depress the clutch pedal again, push the gear lever into 2nd gear, and gradually release the clutch while slowly pressing the accelerator to maintain smooth acceleration. The same procedure applies for other upshifts. Gear Down-shifting Operation: When downshifting, release the accelerator pedal and depress the clutch pedal. Push the gear lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal, then lightly press the accelerator to increase engine RPM. Depress the clutch pedal again and push the gear lever into a lower gear. Gradually release the clutch until fully disengaged. Downshifting can skip one gear level but not two. Downshifting can also be used for engine braking during long descents.

What are the causes of loud buzzing noise inside the car while driving?

The causes of loud buzzing noise inside the car while driving may be due to excessively high tire pressure, abnormal tire wear causing noise, or damaged wheel hub bearings producing noise. Adjusting tire pressure range: Excessively high tire pressure can cause noise. During normal vehicle use, the tire pressure should be adjusted within the standard range, typically 2.3bar-2.5bar. If the tire pressure is too high, it can lead to severe wear on the tire crown area, reducing the tire's shock absorption performance and significantly increasing tire noise. Abnormal tire wear: Abnormal tire wear can cause noise. The tire crown area contacts and rubs against the ground. If the tire crown area wears unevenly and has an irregular surface, it will produce a buzzing noise. Damaged wheel hub bearings: Damaged wheel hub bearings can produce noise. After the wheel hub bearings wear out, they can cause a buzzing noise. The main reason is long-term use leading to wear and looseness of the wheel hub bearings. During normal vehicle use, avoiding severe impacts on the wheels and prolonged water exposure can help protect the wheel hub bearings.

What are the conditions and requirements for obtaining a driver's license?

The conditions for obtaining a driver's license are that the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old, with a height of at least 1500mm (1550mm or above for large trucks), and must meet normal physical health standards. Below is a brief introduction about driver's licenses: 1. Basic Information: The full name of a driver's license is Motor Vehicle Driving License, also known as "driver's license". It is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on public roads without a license. 2. License Certification: A driver's license serves as proof that the holder has mastered safe driving techniques and is permitted to operate vehicles on public roads. This demonstrates that a driver's license is a form of "permission certification".

What Causes Car Shaking When AC is On?

Car shaking when AC is on may be caused by unstable idle speed. Analysis of unstable idle speed situation: When the vehicle's AC is turned on, the engine load increases. If the vehicle has existing faults, this may lead to unstable idle speed after AC activation, resulting in fluctuating RPM. Precautions for using car AC: It's important to properly manage AC usage time. Prolonged AC operation increases the condenser's workload, which not only affects cooling efficiency but also causes certain damage to the engine. Therefore, it's advisable to turn off the AC periodically after continuous use. Hazards of running AC without starting the engine: Running AC without engine operation consumes power solely from the car battery, which can lead to severe battery drain.

What Level Does SRAM X7 Belong To?

The X7 in the transmission is divided into the older 9-speed and the newer 10-speed versions. The 9-speed X7 roughly corresponds to the level between Alivio (4000 series) and 9-speed Deore (590 series), while the 10-speed X7 is approximately equivalent to the level between Deore (610) and SLX (670). The gear compatibility between them is also largely consistent. The crankset of X7 is roughly equivalent to the Deore level of the same speed. Below is an introduction to SRAM X7: SRAM's mountain bike transmission kits are divided into two categories, one is the single-chainring system (generally referred to as 1x), and the other is the double and triple-chainring systems. Currently, SRAM's single-chainring system is only used on racing-level bikes. Similar to Shimano, SRAM also has special customizations, such as the X01 for DH.

In which direction should you drive when entering a roundabout?

When entering a roundabout, you should drive in a counterclockwise direction. Here is some additional relevant information: 1. Navigating a roundabout: You should drive counterclockwise because China follows the right-hand traffic rule. If you enter a roundabout clockwise, vehicles will have to change lanes when entering or exiting, creating intersections and defeating the purpose of the roundabout in facilitating traffic flow. Instead, it could cause problems and lead to traffic accidents. Roundabouts are high-risk areas for accidents, so you should slow down and control your speed appropriately, entering the roundabout counterclockwise. 2. Roundabout: A roundabout is a circular structure built at road intersections, typically installed where multiple traffic junctions meet. Because it is usually a circular island shape, it is called a roundabout. Roundabouts allow vehicles to travel in the same direction, converting conflict points into passage points, effectively reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents. They also help slow down vehicles when turning, aiming to minimize conflicts in vehicle movement.

How Long Does the Subject 4 Review Take?

Subject 4 review takes 1~5 days before the exam. Here is a brief introduction to Subject 4: 1. Basic Information: 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. 2. Exam Content: After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China Order No. 139", the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts. In addition to the road test, a safety and civilization knowledge test was added, commonly known as "Subject 4", which assesses "driving ethics". Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4.
