Applying film on car windows is not mandatory; it depends on personal preference. However, it is strictly prohibited to apply film on car headlights, as doing so can affect the lighting performance, especially with colored films. Car window film refers to a thin layer applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof, also known as solar film or heat-insulating film. Its primary functions include blocking ultraviolet rays, reducing heat, preventing injuries from shattered glass, minimizing glare, and, thanks to its one-way visibility feature, protecting personal privacy.

What are the differences between Driving License Subject 1 and Subject 4?

The main differences between Subject 1 and Subject 4 include: the number of test questions, question types, proportion of exam content, and exam focus. The basis comes from the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses". Number of test questions: The most obvious difference between Subject 1 and Subject 4 is the number of test questions. Subject 1 has 100 questions, while Subject 4 only has 50 questions. In Subject 1, the test will automatically submit if more than 10 questions are answered incorrectly, while in Subject 4, the test will automatically submit if more than 6 questions are answered incorrectly. Question types: Subject 1 consists of 100 questions, each worth 1 point, with a total test time of 45 minutes. The question types are true/false and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100. Subject 4 consists of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, with a test time of 45 minutes. The questions are mainly in the form of case studies, pictures, animations, etc., and the question types include true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100. Exam content focus: Subject 1 mainly assesses basic knowledge of road driving, while Subject 4 focuses on safe and civilized driving knowledge. It can be understood this way: Subject 1 tests how to drive, while Subject 4 tests how to drive safely. Although the difference is just two words (safety), the focus is completely different. Proportion of exam content: Subject 1 exam content composition: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations account for 20%; Road traffic conditions and regulations account for 25%; Road traffic safety violations and penalties account for 25%; Road traffic accident handling regulations account for 10%; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles accounts for 10%; Local regulations account for 10%. Subject 4 exam content composition: Safe driving knowledge accounts for 20%; Civilized driving knowledge accounts for 18%; Comprehensive application of road traffic signals in traffic scenarios accounts for 8%; Safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions accounts for 16%; Emergency avoidance knowledge accounts for 12%; Typical accident case analysis accounts for 6%; Traffic accident rescue and common hazardous chemical disposal knowledge accounts for 10%; Local test questions account for 10%. There is no limit to the number of attempts for driving test Subject 1 and Subject 4. If the test is failed, it can be rescheduled. Each scheduled test has two attempts. If both attempts are failed, the test can only be retaken until it is passed. Both Subject 1 and Subject 4 are theoretical tests and are part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. There are a total of 3 subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. In the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.

How to Solve Blackened Spark Plugs?

The solution for blackened spark plugs is to clean them promptly or replace them directly. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, and then secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replace them after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

When will the VF11 be launched?

Geely VF11 was launched at the end of 2018. Below are the relevant configurations of the Geely VF11: Exterior section: The overall design largely follows the concept car previously unveiled, with some refinements in certain areas, making it more aesthetically pleasing and aligned with current design trends. The ripple-style grille integrates seamlessly with the headlight assembly, forming a wide V-shape that exudes elegance and sophistication. The floating roof design, along with the tapered finish at the D-pillar, gives the side profile a sleek and elongated appearance, distinctly different from the rounded design of the Song MAX. Rear section: The taillights of the new car are nearly triangular in shape, connected by a chrome trim strip, presenting a clean and simple look. The lower part of the bumper features a two-tone design, with a black plastic panel as the base, complemented by chrome trim and a silver skid plate. Notably, the rear of the car bears the VF11 badge, which is the internal codename, with an official name to be announced in the future. Powertrain: The pure gasoline version is equipped with a 1.5T engine (model JLH-3G15TD) with a maximum power output of 177 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid version features a system comprising a 1.5T engine, an electric motor, and a ternary lithium battery pack, with a declared combined fuel consumption of 1.7L/100km.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light Comes On?

The tire pressure monitoring system warning light coming on indicates a potential issue. You can pull over to check if the situation is minor and resolve it yourself. If the problem is severe, drive slowly to the nearest 4S shop for assistance. Below are some tire-related precautions: Inflation: In winter, car owners should appropriately increase tire inflation pressure to reduce tire wear and consumption. However, if the road is icy and slippery, excessive tire inflation pressure can negatively affect the tire's grip. Potholes: When a tire runs over a pothole, it gets squeezed. The larger the pothole and the higher the speed, the greater the squeezing force on the tire, which can lead to tire bulges. Temperature: When measuring tire pressure in winter, do so after the car has been driven for a while and the tires have cooled down. It’s best to measure at room temperature.
