Is It Normal for Windshield Wipers to Make Noise?

Most cases of windshield wiper noise are caused by incorrect wiper arm angles, which make the wiper blade bounce on the windshield, resulting in abnormal sounds. If the wiper blade is in good condition, the wiper arm angle needs to be adjusted so that the blade is perpendicular to the windshield surface. Below is some relevant information about wipers: 1. Rear wiper position: Rear wipers are mostly equipped on SUVs, MPVs, hatchbacks, and some liftback vehicles. 2. Pre-installation considerations: Before installation, the impact of high-speed airflow must be taken into account. Sedans have a slanted rear window, which causes high wind speeds during driving, not only hindering movement but also significantly reducing wiper efficiency. In contrast, hatchbacks have an almost vertical rear window, resulting in slower wind speeds and minimal impact, making them suitable for installation.

How Many Questions Are There in Subject 1 of the Driving Test?

The Subject 1 test for the driver's license consists of 100 questions, as stipulated in the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses.' These questions are divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the examination. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes the theoretical basis of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer and has a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content includes: regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. After entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five attempts each, and rescheduling must occur at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 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 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official terminology (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term 'Subject 4.'

What Causes Abnormal Noises When Starting the Car?

The reasons for abnormal noises when starting the car: 1. Worn hydraulic lifters or system pressure loss - Normally, hydraulic lifters maintain constant oil pressure to ensure zero valve clearance, preventing valve noise during operation; 2. Insufficient lubrication system pressure or severely worn hydraulic lifters - When internal pressure can't support the plunger, valve clearance increases, causing ticking valve impacts during engine operation; 3. Severely worn hydraulic lifters - After prolonged parking, oil leaks from hydraulic lifters, resulting in insufficient oil in hydraulic tappets during initial startup, producing tapping sounds from valve stem impacts.

Why is the AC light not on?

The AC light not being on is due to a damaged AC switch or poor circuit contact. Here are the specific details about the use of the AC switch: Cooling: The AC button controls the on/off function of the air conditioning compressor. During summer, when the driver turns on the cold air, the AC button must also be pressed to activate the cooling function, ensuring that cold air is circulated inside the car. Turning off the AC: The driver can turn off the AC switch when starting or accelerating rapidly, as the air conditioning compressor is powered by the engine and consumes some of the engine's power. Turning off the AC switch can prevent insufficient engine power.

Can lane changes be made at triple dashed lines?

Three dashed lines allow lane changes. Below are relevant details: Dividing lines: Triple dashed lines indicate same-direction lane dividers where overtaking is permitted without obstructing normal traffic flow. Solid lines prohibit lane changes. White dashed lines: Lane changes across white dashed lines ahead are only permitted when safety is ensured. Violations incur fines and 3-point deductions. Highways: White solid lines near some highway exits must not be crossed. Drivers must change lanes at white dashed lines in advance when exiting to auxiliary roads.

What does a blue car temperature gauge mean?

A blue car temperature gauge indicates that the engine coolant temperature is low. Generally, mechanical temperature gauges are used in vehicles. When the needle points to the blue zone, it means the engine coolant temperature is low; when it points to the red zone, it indicates the temperature is too high. The normal operating temperature for a car engine is around 90 degrees Celsius. The coolant temperature sensor is installed in the engine block or cylinder head's water jacket, directly contacting the coolant to measure its temperature. The temperature sensor used in the coolant temperature gauge is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, whose resistance decreases as temperature rises. It is connected to the electronic control unit (ECU) via a wire.
