Safety performance might be slightly compromised, but you need to inspect the actual vehicle and evaluate its condition and price before deciding whether it's worth purchasing. Here are key considerations when buying a used car: 1. Choose authorized dealers: Always purchase from reputable dealers to ensure effective after-sales support if issues arise; also be cautious with online used car platforms - while generally trustworthy, don't rely on them completely. 2. Check mileage: This primarily applies to retired fleet vehicles. Beyond high mileage, their service life is another concern. Commercial vehicles face mandatory retirement after eight years, leaving you with only 1-2 years of usage at most. 3. Vehicle selection process: After identifying purchase channels, follow these selection steps: First browse online platforms to identify preferred models, then compare market prices (for reference only). Once selected, visit physical used car markets to examine potential vehicles in person before making final decisions.

Should You Shift to Neutral After Hill Parking?

After coming to a complete stop during hill parking, it is not necessary to shift to neutral. Below is an introduction to some of the scoring criteria for hill parking in Subject 2 of the driving test: 1. Scoring standards: If the vehicle's front bumper or the motorcycle's front axle does not stop on the designated line and exceeds 50 centimeters forward or backward, it results in failure; if it does not stop on the line but does not exceed 50 centimeters, a deduction of 10 points (originally 20 points) will be applied. 2. Key considerations: Accurately estimate the target by using the parking pole and a specific point on the windshield (or engine hood) as a reference (this point should be determined during practice due to differences in vehicle models and driver height). When the reference point on the windshield aligns with the parking pole in a straight line, meaning the vehicle's bumper aligns with the parking line, stop immediately.

What Causes the Car's Water Temperature to Be Too High?

It may be due to sand holes or perforations in the water jacket of the car's cylinder block. Below is some extended information about the car's water temperature gauge: 1. Structure of the water temperature gauge: Its sensor is a thermistor-type sensor, fixed with threads on the engine's cooling water passage. The thermistor determines the magnitude of the current flowing through the coil winding of the water temperature gauge, thereby driving the pointer on the gauge to swing. 2. Introduction to the water temperature gauge: The water temperature gauge is an instrument that displays the temperature of the cooling water, measured in ℃ (degrees Celsius). In the past, tap water was used as the cooling water for car engines, but now many car engine cooling systems use specialized coolant, hence it is also referred to as the coolant temperature gauge. The water temperature gauge can also be indicated by a warning light; when the water temperature warning light is on, it indicates that the water temperature is too high.

What are the consequences of mixing alcohol and gasoline?

Alcohol and gasoline can be mixed together, commonly known as ethanol gasoline. Ethanol gasoline is a new alternative energy source formed by blending fuel ethanol, processed from grains and various plant fibers, with regular gasoline in a certain proportion. According to China's standards, ethanol gasoline is composed of 90% regular gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol. Below is relevant information: 1. Gasoline shelf life: Gasoline is more than 99% carbon and hydrogen elements, along with some aliphatic and naphthenic chemical elements. When exposed to air, it can produce some gum-like substances. Theoretically, as long as air is isolated, gasoline hardly deteriorates. Modern gasoline contains some antioxidants, conservatively estimated to last about 8 months. 2. Ethanol gasoline: Some regions now use ethanol gasoline, which is a blend of 90% regular gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol. Due to this 10% ethanol, the shelf life of ethanol gasoline is relatively short, lasting at most one month.

Can I learn manual transmission after completing automatic transmission training?

You can learn manual transmission after completing automatic transmission training. Here are the differences between automatic and manual transmissions: 1. Gears: Manual transmissions have gears 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and R. Automatic transmissions have P, N, D, R, and a hill-climbing gear. 2. Difficulty of operation: Manual transmissions require frequent gear changes when adjusting speed, especially on crowded city roads, including hill starts, constant clutch engagement, and shifting, making them more challenging than automatic transmissions. 3. Comfort: Manual transmissions are naturally less comfortable than automatic transmissions due to the constant need for careful operation, which can lead to left foot fatigue over time. Therefore, automatic transmissions are better for comfort. 4. Fuel consumption: Automatic transmissions consume more fuel than manual transmissions because their power output is mainly regulated by the throttle. To save fuel, you can press the throttle lightly and brake less.
