For automatic transmission models, the left side of the car is the brake, and the right side is the accelerator. Manual transmission models have three pedals: the far left is the clutch, the middle is the brake, and the right is the accelerator. The positions of the brake and accelerator pedals in manual transmission cars are the same as in automatic transmission cars, except that manual transmission cars have an additional clutch pedal on the left. When starting the engine in an automatic transmission car, you need to press the brake pedal; otherwise, the engine will not start. Similarly, when starting the engine in a manual transmission car, you also need to press the clutch pedal. The clutch disc is a component that requires regular replacement, and as the car's mileage increases, the wear on the clutch disc will also increase.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Subject 3 for Driving?

Subject 3 is the road test, and generally, it takes about a week of practice to master all the key actions. Below is relevant information about Subject 3: 1. Gear Shifting Operation: Ensure sufficient throttle is applied, and after each gear shift, proceed decisively to the next shift action; the shifting action, including hand and foot movements, should be quick, precise, and smooth. 2. Straight-line Driving: The key is to identify reference points to determine if the vehicle is veering off course. Reference points can include the dashed white lines on either side of the lane, road curbs, streetlight poles, etc. Additionally, keep your gaze far ahead and avoid focusing solely on the hood area. If the vehicle starts to veer, make slight adjustments to the steering wheel promptly without large turns. 3. Pulling Over: Pulling over requires the vehicle to be within 30 centimeters of the roadside line. The principle is similar to straight-line driving—find reference points. Typically, when the raised part of the windshield wiper aligns with the roadside line, the distance is about 30 centimeters. Of course, reference points may vary, so the key is to practice more and gain proficiency through repetition.

At What Age Can a Child Sit in the Front Passenger Seat?

14-year-old children are allowed to sit in the front passenger seat. According to new traffic regulations: children under 14 years old are not permitted to sit in the front passenger seat. If caught, a fine of 300 yuan and 6 penalty points will be imposed. The front passenger seat is actually the most dangerous position among all seats in a car. Therefore, to protect the safety of children, those under 14 years old must sit in the back seat. Below is relevant information: 1. Seatbelt Design: Seatbelts are designed for individuals taller than 1.4 meters. For children, seatbelts are ineffective and may even put them in an unsafe position. 2. Hazards of Young Children Sitting in the Front Passenger Seat: In the event of a traffic accident, the seatbelt may press against the child's neck, making it extremely dangerous for children to sit in the front passenger seat. Adults should not hold children in the front passenger seat either, as during emergency braking or accidents, adults cannot fully protect the child. Moreover, children in the front passenger seat may suffer much more severe injuries than adults. Additionally, child seats should not be installed in the front passenger seat.

What is the fuel consumption of the Trumpchi GS8?

Trumpchi GS8 real fuel consumption is 10.2L. Here is the relevant introduction about the fuel consumption of this model: 1. Urban area test: According to actual test records, with a cumulative mileage of 1380km and an average speed of 28km/h, the Trumpchi GS8 real fuel consumption is 10.8L. This is the record obtained in urban driving. 2. Other road condition tests: The car consumes a lot of fuel, mainly in urban areas where the speed cannot be increased, leading to higher fuel consumption. In suburban areas, as long as it's not exaggerated mountain roads, the fuel consumption is generally lower than this value. On the highway, due to the large number of trucks, the road conditions are not as smooth as imagined. When exiting the highway, a total of 56km was driven with an average speed of 58km/h, which is relatively not considered high speed, but the obtained data was 7.8L.

Is the air recirculation light on or off?

Air recirculation is indicated by the light being on. Below is relevant information about air recirculation: 1. Function of air recirculation: The air recirculation mode in air conditioning prevents outside air from entering the vehicle. When outside temperatures are extremely high or low, selecting air recirculation mode allows the AC system to operate in this mode briefly to quickly lower or raise the interior temperature. 2. Switching air recirculation mode: If equipped with an air quality sensor, when the system detects increased concentration of harmful substances in outside air, it automatically activates air recirculation mode to prevent outside air from being drawn into the vehicle. Once the concentration of harmful substances in outside air decreases to normal levels, the system automatically deactivates air recirculation mode, allowing fresh air to enter the vehicle again.
