Subject 3 of the driving test is generally easier on clear days, as rainy conditions can cause blurred visibility and affect driving operations. Below are the key differences between taking the test on rainy and sunny days: 1. Rearview mirrors: You are not allowed to stick your head out of the window to check behind; you must rely on the mirrors. However, rain can blur the mirrors, so before starting the test on a rainy day, wipe the mirrors clean. 2. Windows: Avoid closing them completely, as this can lead to fogging inside the car, obstructing visibility and affecting judgment accuracy. 3. Pedals: After getting in the car, don’t rush to step on the pedals. Instead, shake off any water from your shoes outside the car first to prevent slipping when pressing the pedals.

How to Turn on the Fog Lights of the New Excelle?

The method to turn on the fog lights of the New Excelle: The fog lights can only be activated when the parking lights or headlights are turned on. The New Excelle does not come with front fog lights across all trims, only rear fog lights are available. Fog lights are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, which limits the driver's line of sight, these lights can increase the visibility distance. Particularly, the yellow anti-fog lights have strong light penetration, enhancing the visibility for both the driver and other traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. The New Excelle is a compact sedan launched by Buick, with dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, 1486mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. The New Excelle features a more prominent sense of fashion, with very muscular body lines. The front fascia adopts a large-area grille, complemented by chrome trim strips for decoration. The headlights are connected to the grille, further highlighting the sporty temperament of this vehicle.

Does a small bulge on a car tire need to be replaced?

If there is a small bulge on a car tire, it needs to be replaced. Because a bulged tire cannot be repaired and must be replaced immediately to avoid a tire blowout while driving. Reasons for tire bulging: Compared to the tread, the sidewall of the tire has much weaker cord ply strength, usually consisting of 1 to 2 layers. Once damaged, it affects the stability of the tire at high speeds. When the cords in the tire sidewall break, the internal air escapes from the broken cords, barely held by the thin rubber layer, which causes the tire to bulge. Method for replacing a tire: Retrieve the tire-changing tools and spare tire from the trunk; use a socket wrench to loosen the bolts in a diagonal sequence, rotating about 90 degrees; lift the vehicle with a jack until the tire is about 2 cm off the ground; remove the bolts and the old tire, then replace it with the new tire; install the new tire.

Does GPF Warning Affect Vehicle Driving?

GPF warning will affect vehicle driving. Although the vehicle can continue to drive when the GPF warning is on, the power of the vehicle will decrease. The main reason is that after the GPF is blocked, it will increase the exhaust back pressure, resulting in a decrease in engine power. Methods to deal with GPF warning: When this problem occurs, it means that the particulate filter has been blocked. After driving for a period of time, the particulate filter will most likely light up, which is a normal situation. You can drive at high speed for a while to raise the exhaust temperature and burn off the particles in the GPF, or you can drive more on the highway to clean the particulate filter. If the problem still persists, you need to go to a specialized repair shop to remove the GPF and clean it manually. Notes on GPF: GPF refers to the particulate filter. Many vehicles install a GPF in the exhaust system to meet the strict China VI standard. However, the GPF needs to be cleaned after being used for a period of time.

Which Tesla Model Features Butterfly Doors?

Tesla's butterfly doors are featured on the Model-S. Currently, there are 2 variants of the Model-S available for sale, offering 1 pure electric powertrain option and 1 single-speed transmission choice. Below is a brief introduction to the Model-S: Vehicle Range: The new Model-S is equipped with an advanced electric drive system that incorporates permanent magnet synchronous motors, silicon carbide electronic components, and improvements in system lubrication, cooling, bearings, and wheel design. These enhancements increase the vehicle's overall energy efficiency to over 93%, resulting in significantly improved range while maintaining the same battery capacity. Charging Power: The Model-S supports Tesla's third-generation supercharging stations, achieving a maximum charging power of up to 200kW. However, this does not surpass the Model 3's 250kW supercharging capability. Additionally, the Model-S can obtain a charging power of 145kW at second-generation supercharging stations, offering faster charging speeds compared to the previous 120kW fast-charging stations.

Is Engine Braking the Same as Releasing the Throttle?

Engine braking means releasing the throttle. Engine braking utilizes the engine's drag effect to slow down the vehicle. The lower the gear, the more noticeable the drag and the stronger the braking effect. Principle of Engine Braking: Engine braking refers to lifting the throttle pedal without depressing the clutch, using the compression resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance to create a braking effect on the driving wheels. Principle of Anticipatory Braking: Anticipatory braking is used for already identified situations or anticipated complex scenarios. It involves planned and purposeful release of the accelerator pedal in advance at the situation point, utilizing the natural resistance during driving to coast and decelerate. Additionally, the brake pedal is intermittently and gently pressed to further reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Usage of Emergency Braking: Emergency braking is employed when encountering suddenly emerging hazards. The driver quickly releases the accelerator pedal, immediately and forcefully depresses the brake pedal, and simultaneously pulls the handbrake lever to bring the vehicle to an immediate halt.

Which one to use if both temporary license plates are not expired?

If both temporary license plates are not expired, either one can be used. Temporary license plates can be used for 45 days. Since temporary license plates can be applied for up to 3 times, theoretically, temporary license plates for urban areas can be used for a maximum of 45 days, while temporary license plates for inter-provincial travel can be used for a maximum of 90 days. However, it should be noted that in the actual process of applying for temporary license plates, delays may occur in the acceptance or mailing of the temporary plates, so the actual usage time may be shorter than theoretically possible. Vehicle certificate required for license plate registration: When registering the vehicle at the DMV, the vehicle's certificate must be submitted to the DMV staff for archiving. Purchase invoice required for license plate registration: Whether purchasing a car from a 4S store or an auto trader, the owner will receive a purchase invoice after buying the car. This purchase invoice must be kept safe, as without it, the car cannot be registered. When registering the vehicle, the purchase invoice must be provided to the DMV staff, and this invoice also needs to be archived.
