It is not a big problem if the coolant slightly exceeds the upper limit, but it may leave some stains. However, if it exceeds the upper limit significantly, it may cause excessive pressure. It is best to use a syringe to remove the excess coolant above the upper limit. When adding coolant, it only needs to be filled between the min and max marking lines. Below is some relevant information about coolant: 1. Coolant is an essential liquid for maintaining the normal operation of the engine. It continuously circulates in the engine water jacket to remove excess heat. Too little or too much coolant is not ideal. 2. When there is a shortage of coolant, never use tap water as a substitute. Distilled water can be used instead. Tap water contains minerals that can form scale at high temperatures, which may clog the engine's water passages or coolant pipes. 3. Replace the coolant promptly if its freezing point is insufficient. If the outdoor temperature is too low and the freezing point is inadequate, the coolant may freeze. When frozen, the volume of the coolant will expand, potentially damaging the engine.

What are the behaviors of excessive car maintenance that can damage the vehicle?

Excessive car maintenance behaviors that can damage the vehicle include: 1. Over-washing the paint surface, which can shorten the lifespan of the car paint and even cause the paint to lose its luster when washed under strong sunlight; 2. Polishing and waxing—car wax is essentially a type of abrasive, and polishing wax involves a certain degree of grinding on the car paint to remove minor scratches. Frequent waxing can thin the clear coat on the paint surface, affecting the color and gloss of the paint; 3. Adding too much engine oil during maintenance, which can cause power loss in the engine; the fuel system does not need frequent cleaning. The vehicle requires fuel system cleaning after a certain mileage, but frequent cleaning can cause the cleaning agents to corrode rubber components in the fuel system, leading to leaks.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Car?

When shifting gears in an automatic car, you need to press the brake. Pressing the brake during gear shifting is to prevent the vehicle from moving forward or backward while shifting, ensuring it remains stationary. Therefore, apply normal pressure to the brake pedal to stabilize the car. Remember not to press the brake too lightly. Otherwise, the brake pedal sensor may not detect that the driver has pressed the brake, and it will not release the gear. Additionally, the vehicle may not achieve effective braking. While driving, you can select the transmission mode based on your driving preferences, such as shifting from D (Drive) to M (Manual mode) or S (Sport mode). The transmission also allows the driver to shift into neutral (N) in special situations to cut off engine power. If you attempt to shift into P (Park) or R (Reverse) while driving, the transmission will not execute the command. Modern transmissions are computer-controlled to prevent accidental gear shifts while driving. If you mistakenly shift into P or R, the transmission's computer will recognize it as an invalid operation and refuse to execute the shift command, so there's no need to worry about shifting into the wrong gear while driving.

How Many Questions Are There in the Driving Test Subject One Exam?

The total number of questions in the driving license Subject One exam is 100. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the exam consists of single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject One, also known as the theoretical exam or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject One exam content: regulations on driving 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. Subject One exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail once, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it—failure to sign renders it invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject One exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it again, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three allow only five exam attempts each, and rescheduling must occur at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include "Subject Four."

What Are the Impacts of Scraping the Car's Chassis?

Scraping the car's chassis can affect the vehicle's lifespan and also pose a threat to driving safety. The chassis refers to the assembly composed of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system, which is used to support and install the car's engine and its components, form the overall shape of the vehicle, bear the engine's power, and ensure normal driving. Causes of chassis damage: 1. Bottoming out or impact from foreign objects; the occurrence of bottoming out is uncertain, making it easy to damage parts of the chassis. 2. Corrosion and weathering; the chassis is frequently exposed to sun and rain, making it prone to corrosion and weathering.
