Gear 4 is generally used on straight roads, and then reduced to gear 3. Before shifting up to gear 4, the speed must be increased to 35 km/h to engage gear 4. The specific details are as follows: 1. Gear selection is related to speed: The gear selection of a manual transmission car is related to the speed. Gear 1 is used for starting from a stop, gear 2 is for speeds above 10 km/h but not exceeding 30 km/h; gear 3 is for 20-40 km/h; gear 4 is for 30-50 km/h, and gear 5 is for speeds above 40 km/h. 2. Gear must match speed: The gear must match the speed; if not, the engine will vibrate. When starting, if there are no obstacles, shift continuously from gears 1 to 3. As long as the car's speed increases, shift up as much as possible. Listen to the engine sound; if the sound becomes sharp, it indicates the RPM is increasing, and you should shift up in time to avoid damaging the parts.

When taking the driving test for Subject 3, the sections where you shift to fourth gear are typically those with fewer vehicles, straight roads, and wide lanes. During my practice sessions, I paid special attention to the speedometer. Generally, the most suitable time to upshift is when the speed reaches 40 to 50 km/h, such as on urban main roads, the entrance to ring expressways, or the straight acceleration zones of the test track. The road surface should be smooth, avoiding curves, uphill or downhill sections, or areas with many pedestrians to prevent fumbling and potential accidents. The technique involves gently pressing the accelerator to increase speed, then smoothly pushing the gear lever once the RPM rises, avoiding sudden braking or aggressive acceleration. I remember during the test, I shifted to fourth gear on a straight stretch, and the examiner praised my steadiness—it’s mainly about practicing enough to get familiar with the feel of the speed and avoiding mistakes under pressure. Overall, this maneuver tests your judgment in gear shifting and safe driving.

What to Do When Car Windshield Washer Fluid Freezes?

Here are the solutions for frozen car windshield washer fluid: 1. If the freezing is not severe, you can start the car and let the engine's temperature gradually thaw it. 2. On sunny days, it's advisable to open the hood and let the sun help thaw the fluid. If the fluid isn't too frozen, it should thaw quickly. If it doesn't, adding some warm water (avoid boiling water) can help thaw the fluid. Once thawed, replace all the fluid to prevent future freezing. 3. If the freezing is severe and has already cracked the washer fluid reservoir, visit a repair station for assistance. During this period, avoid using the windshield washer function until the fluid has completely thawed.

Where is the Jetta engine number located?

The engine number of the Volkswagen Jetta is located at the junction between the engine and the transmission, near the right side of the engine block. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through the following four ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine, where each engine has a unique number that is different from all others. The engine number consists of four parts, each representing different meanings. The first part includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or manufacturer code, which are selected by the manufacturer as needed and must be approved and registered by the industry standardization authority. The middle part consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. The rear part includes symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. The tail part is a distinguishing symbol, used by the manufacturer to indicate modifications or other distinguishing factors within the same product series.

What are the differences between the US version and Thailand version of BMW X5?

The differences between the Thailand version and US version of BMW X5 are as follows: The main difference between the two versions is that the US version comes with an air suspension, while the Thailand version does not. Additionally, the assembly quality of the US version is better than that of the Thailand version. In terms of exterior design, the US version integrates the rear turn signal and brake light, and features a yellow reflector on the front fender wheel arch, whereas the Thailand version has separate designs for the rear turn signal and brake light. Additional information: BMW's factory in Thailand is called the Rayong plant, which is responsible for the assembly of parts. BMW places great emphasis on the Chinese market, producing the X3 and X5 in Thailand primarily for the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. This is because these two models are the best-selling imported SUVs in China, and Thailand's tariffs are significantly lower than those of the US, as are the wages of Thai workers compared to their US counterparts.
