Reversing on highway ramps is not allowed and is considered illegal, resulting in a 12-point penalty. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, parking on highway ramps is also prohibited and will incur a 6-point penalty on the driver's license. Article 17 of the "Highway Traffic Management Regulations" stipulates: When driving normally on highways, motor vehicles must adhere to the following rules: no reversing, no driving against traffic, no crossing the central divider to make U-turns or turns; no test driving or learning to drive motor vehicles; no reversing, overtaking, or parking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes; no straddling or pressing lane dividers and no continuous driving in overtaking lanes; no overtaking from the right side; except in cases of obstacles, breakdowns, or other necessary stops, no arbitrary stopping, picking up/dropping off passengers, or loading/unloading goods; except for entering or exiting emergency parking strips and shoulders due to stopping, no driving on emergency parking strips or shoulders. When driving on highways, motor vehicles must not change lanes arbitrarily or continuously, must adhere to the minimum and maximum speed limits, must not stop arbitrarily, must not occupy emergency lanes, and must report emergencies to the police promptly.

Never attempt to reverse on a highway, especially in areas like ramps. I have an experienced driver friend who encountered this situation—he realized he took the wrong ramp immediately after entering and tried to reverse, only to nearly get rear-ended by a car behind him, leaving him in a cold sweat. Highways are designed for high-speed traffic, and reversing on a ramp not only disrupts the flow but can also trigger chain-reaction accidents. Traffic laws explicitly prohibit reversing or driving against traffic on highways, including entrance and exit ramps. If caught by surveillance cameras, you’ll face fines and penalty points, or even have your vehicle impounded in severe cases. So, if you find yourself on the wrong ramp or miss an exit, the safe approach is to continue driving forward, find a service area or exit, and then turn around to replan your route. Always double-check navigation and road signs before hitting the highway to avoid last-minute panic.

How Long Does the Transmission of the Sylphy Usually Last Before Failing?

The CVT transmission fault light of the Sylphy typically indicates a pressure switch malfunction, which usually occurs between 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Issues such as hydraulic cylinder wear, slipping, high transmission temperature, and chain breakage mainly appear after over 100,000 kilometers. CVT Fuel Efficiency: CVT can achieve continuously variable transmission over a wide range, obtaining the best match between the transmission system and engine conditions. By relying on the transmission's stepless speed regulation to adapt to various vehicle speeds, the engine can operate under optimal conditions for extended periods, thereby improving combustion efficiency and fuel economy. CVT Gear Setting Flexibility: Theoretically, the CVT transmission system can have an infinite number of gears, offering greater flexibility in gear setting. It makes it easier to achieve a balance between gear ratios, speed ratios, performance, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions in traditional transmission systems.

Why was the Changan Unit discontinued?

Changan Unit has been discontinued for the following reasons: Immature technology: The Changan Unit is equipped with numerous electronic devices, such as hidden door handles, full-screen LCD displays, one-button start, and other new technologies, which are indeed attractive. However, some owners have reported issues with responsiveness. High fuel consumption: The Changan Unit is powered by a 1.5T engine. Changan Automobile claimed it achieved an ultra-high thermal efficiency of 40%, using this as a selling point. However, the actual fuel consumption of the Changan UNI-T is not low. Owners generally report its actual fuel consumption to be around 9.5L, significantly higher than the normal level for SUVs of the same class and displacement.

How Long After Passing Subject One Can You Take Subject Two?

After passing Subject One, you can start learning the Subject Two curriculum as arranged by the driving school. You can schedule the Subject Two exam online 10 days after passing Subject One. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the registration requirement for Subject Two is completing 26 credit hours, including 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, 3 hours of simulated driving, and 21 hours of practical training. For a C1 driver's license, you can schedule the Subject Two exam online 10 days after passing Subject One. Each Subject Two exam appointment comes with two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it once for free. If you do not take the retest or still fail the retest, the exam session ends, and you can reschedule the Subject Two exam after 10 days. Within the validity period of the driver's license learning, the number of Subject Two exam appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driver's license, you must restart from Subject One. Subject Two exam content: Operating a motor vehicle within a designated area to complete exam tasks; demonstrating mastery of vehicle driving skills; and assessing the ability to judge the spatial position of the vehicle. Subject Two, also known as the small road test, includes five required tasks: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and navigating an S-curve. Subject Two exam precautions: After getting into the car, always adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to a suitable position and state, and fasten the seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle quickly, steer swiftly, react promptly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. When stopping on a slope, remember to engage the handbrake. When starting, turn on the left indicator, release the handbrake, and stabilize the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react quickly after identifying the turning point and coordinate with the vehicle's speed to prevent deviation. For S-curves, slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving instincts may navigate smoothly in one go. When reversing into a parking space, control the speed, identify reference points accurately, and make minor adjustments if deviations are observed in the rearview mirror. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two is the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official terminology (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject Four."

What is the appropriate headlight height setting for the 14th-generation Sylphy?

14th-generation Sylphy headlights are appropriately set at position 1. You can adjust them using the headlight height adjustment knob located below the steering wheel on the driver's side. Introduction to headlight height adjustment methods: Position 0 is the lowest setting, position 1 is slightly higher than the lowest and is generally the recommended setting, position 2 provides higher headlight beams, and position 3 is the highest setting which is generally not recommended as excessively high headlights may affect other vehicles' driving. Definition of automotive headlights: Automotive headlights, also known as vehicle front lights or LED daytime running lights, serve as the "eyes" of a car. They not only relate to the owner's external image but are also crucial for safe driving at night or under poor weather conditions.
