Turning on the left turn signal is done by moving the lever downward. Conditions requiring the use of turn signals: Turn signals must be used when changing lanes, overtaking, making U-turns, and similar situations. It is essential to activate the turn signal in advance to inform other vehicles of your driving intentions, allowing others to anticipate your actions. Important notes on using turn signals: Turn signals must be activated in advance when changing lanes. The left turn signal should be turned on in advance when making a left turn, changing to the left lane, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. The right turn signal should be activated in advance when making a right turn, changing to the right lane, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside. Frequent lane changes should be avoided. Motor vehicles may borrow or change lanes when it does not affect the normal driving of other vehicles; vehicles in the borrowed lane should be given the right of way. Drivers should proceed in order and avoid frequent lane changes. Vehicles that should drive in the slow lane are allowed to borrow the fast lane for overtaking when it does not hinder the normal driving of vehicles in the fast lane, but they must return to the original lane immediately after overtaking. When vehicles from both the left and right lanes are changing into the same lane, vehicles from the left lane should yield to those from the right lane.

Why Step on the Clutch When Braking?

When braking, there is no need to step on the clutch first. Utilize engine braking to fully decelerate, and then press the clutch at low speeds to prevent the engine from stalling. The functions of the car clutch: 1. Ensure smooth starting: Before starting, the car is stationary. If the engine and transmission are rigidly connected, once a gear is engaged, the car will suddenly lurch forward due to the abrupt connection of power. This not only causes damage to mechanical components but also makes the driving force insufficient to overcome the huge inertia generated by the sudden forward movement, leading to a rapid drop in engine speed and stalling. 2. Facilitate gear shifting: During driving, different transmission gears are frequently used to adapt to changing driving conditions. Without the clutch temporarily disconnecting the engine from the transmission, the meshed force-transmitting gears in the transmission would be difficult to separate due to the high pressure between their meshing surfaces caused by the unrelieved load. 3. Prevent overload in the transmission system: During emergency braking, the wheels suddenly decelerate sharply, while the transmission system connected to the engine maintains its original speed due to rotational inertia. This often generates an inertial torque in the transmission system far greater than the engine torque, making the transmission components prone to damage.

Is there a difference in after-sales service between buying a car from an auto trader and a 4S store?

There are differences in after-sales service between buying a car from an auto trader and a 4S store, as detailed below: Vehicle sources: 4S stores are supplied by manufacturers, while auto traders typically source vehicles from 4S stores. Accordingly, 4S stores can only sell cars of a single brand, whereas auto traders can sell vehicles from multiple brands. Quality issues: Relatively speaking, 4S stores are more reliable. The probability of purchasing inventory vehicles or problematic cars from auto traders is significantly higher than from 4S stores. After-sales service: 4S stores are undoubtedly more reliable than auto traders in this regard. Auto traders only handle car sales and don't address after-sales issues. Although theoretically, nationwide warranty service is available, in reality, if you buy a car from an auto trader and seek after-sales service at a 4S store, the 4S store may find various excuses to deny consumers after-sales service.

Can I drive with an electronic driver's license after passing Subject 4?

No, although the electronic document may be generated the day after passing Subject 4, you still need a physical driver's license to drive on the road. Here is relevant information: Electronic Driver's License: The electronic driver's license, commonly known as the 'e-license,' has been piloted in three cities—Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou—since June 1, 2021, for the digitalization of motor vehicle driver's licenses. It provides drivers with online 'show license' and 'show code' services, better facilitating public travel and affairs. It will be fully promoted nationwide in 2022. Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the 'Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China,' the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as 'Subject 4,' which assesses 'driving ethics.' Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4 in the official terminology.

Should You Press the Clutch When Braking to Stop?

You should press the clutch when braking. Because pressing the clutch is equivalent to driving in neutral, if you brake to stop without pressing the clutch, the car remains in gear. Since it's in gear, it will naturally continue to move, so braking without pressing the clutch will cause the engine to stall. Related information: 1. Brake: A mechanical braking device that can slow down the speed of the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. Simply put: The car's brake pedal is located under the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake lever to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake disc, slowing down or stopping the vehicle. 2. Clutch: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission.

What are the symptoms of insufficient right tire pressure?

Insufficient pressure in the right front tire can cause the vehicle to pull to the right while driving, accelerate wear on the right front tire, make steering adjustments difficult and laborious, and increase the risk of accidents. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Heavy steering wheel and tendency to drift, which are unfavorable for driving safety; Increased movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area, and abnormal wear; Multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and sharp decline in strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Increased deformation of the tire body, prone to cracking on the sidewalls, and flexing movements leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

Should You Shift to Neutral in Hill Start Parking?

When performing hill start parking, you must engage the handbrake and shift to neutral. Then, slowly release the clutch to the semi-engaged point until the vehicle vibrates, and release the brake to complete the hill start. Hill Start Parking: Hill start parking and starting is a key assessment point in the Subject 2 of the driver's license test. Test requirements: The examinee must park the vehicle at a fixed position on a slope with a gradient greater than 10% and a length less than 30 meters, demonstrating coordinated control of steering, braking, and clutch. The purpose is to train drivers to accurately judge the vehicle's position and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch to meet the needs of parking and starting on uphill sections. Precautions: Correctly master the contact point of the clutch; correctly time the release of the parking brake lever; correctly time and control the force applied to the accelerator pedal (throttle); when starting, avoid abruptly depressing the clutch pedal or accelerator pedal.
