If one headlight is damaged in a collision, only the damaged one needs to be replaced. Below is relevant information about automotive headlights: 1. Introduction to automotive headlights: Automotive headlights, also known as front headlamps or LED daytime running lights, serve as the "eyes" of a vehicle. They not only affect the owner's external image but are also crucial for safe driving at night or under adverse weather conditions. 2. Function of headlight adjustment: It allows the vehicle's lights to maintain appropriate height at all times, facilitating nighttime driving and adapting to different road undulations. 3. Importance of headlight adjustment: The more passengers in the rear seats, the lower the rear of the vehicle sinks, causing the front of the vehicle to rise accordingly. This raises the headlight height, potentially dazzling oncoming drivers and distracting their attention, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

What to Do When the Car Skids?

Solutions for car skidding are as follows: 1. Front-wheel skid: When the front wheels skid, the steering wheel cannot be turned, and the vehicle rushes straight forward until it hits an obstacle and stops. For rear-wheel-drive cars, release the accelerator pedal, do not step on the brake or clutch pedal, then turn the steering wheel to straighten the front wheels so that they align with the direction of the car body. However, avoid over-turning to prevent the rear wheels from skidding. Gradually ease off the accelerator pedal, but do not release it completely. Never step on the brake or clutch, as sudden deceleration may cause the rear wheels to skid as well. Slowly turn the steering wheel toward the intended direction of travel, but avoid turning too sharply or excessively. Once the car's direction is corrected, straighten the steering wheel. 2. Rear-wheel skid: When the rear wheels skid, the rear of the car will slide to one side, or the car body may even spin violently. Whether it's a front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive car, the operation method is the same—steer in the direction of the skid. Remember, never step on the brake.

Can Hybrid Cars Get Green License Plates?

Only plug-in hybrids can get green license plates, while conventional hybrids cannot. Here is the relevant information: 1. Types: Hybrid cars are divided into plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrids. Only plug-in hybrids can get green license plates, while conventional hybrids cannot. Hybrid models on the market are generally divided into two types: plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrids. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. 2. Differences: Unlike traditional gasoline-powered and electric-drive hybrids, plug-in hybrids have the same driving principles and units as electric vehicles, with the only difference being that they are equipped with an engine. Conventional hybrid vehicles have very small battery capacities, which only supply/recover energy during start/stop and acceleration/deceleration. They cannot be charged externally and cannot travel long distances in pure electric mode. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can operate in pure electric mode. When the battery is depleted, they can switch to hybrid mode (mainly powered by the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed.

How to Control Vehicle Speed in Subject 2?

Here are the techniques for controlling vehicle speed during the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Quick Press and Slow Release: When pressing the clutch, do it quickly and release slowly. Place the ball of your foot on the pedal to prevent slipping. 2. Speed Control: On uneven road surfaces, lightly apply the brake to control speed. Gradually increase pressure and avoid sudden braking. 3. Semi-Engagement State: Whether starting on flat ground or a slope, accurately sense the clutch's semi-engagement state. Develop the habit of slowly lifting the clutch to semi-engagement before releasing the brake until the vehicle starts moving gradually. 4. Release Clutch Before Brake: When stopping, press the clutch first, then the brake. After shifting to neutral, release the clutch before the brake.

What are the differences between automatic transmission and manual transmission?

Automatic transmission can automatically shift into different gears based on engine load and vehicle operating conditions. Manual transmission requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever to change the gear engagement position inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The two differ in the following aspects: 1. Transmission efficiency: Manual transmission is purely mechanical, while automatic transmission relies on hydraulic transmission via a torque converter, resulting in differences in working efficiency, which directly leads to variations in fuel consumption. For cars of the same brand and displacement, manual transmission vehicles can save about 10% more fuel than automatic transmission vehicles. 2. Ease of operation: Automatic transmission has a significant advantage in this aspect. 3. Maintenance costs: Automatic transmission has higher maintenance costs.

Can Vehicle Inspection Be Done in Advance?

Vehicle annual inspection can be conducted in advance, currently allowing for an early inspection up to 60 days before the due date. Below is a brief introduction regarding early vehicle inspection: 1. Required Documents: Bring your driver's license, ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and the current valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. 2. Important Notes: Vehicle inspection can be scheduled up to 60 days in advance. Owners should plan their time wisely to avoid overdue inspections, which may result in fines and a 3-point penalty. Before the inspection, check for any outstanding traffic violations. Any existing violations must be resolved; otherwise, the vehicle will not be inspected.

What to Do When the Entire Car Loses Power During Startup?

When the engine is running normally, but the dashboard lights gradually dim until the engine stops running and the lights go from dim to completely off, this indicates a total loss of power in the vehicle. The specific solution depends on the situation, as analyzed below: 1. If the entire car loses power during normal engine startup: It may be due to a malfunction in the car's alternator, which requires timely inspection and repair. It could also be an electrical issue, such as a ground fault in the vehicle's wiring harness or excessive current caused by improperly modified wiring, leading to burnt wires. The problematic circuit should be promptly addressed. 2. If the entire car loses power when the engine is not running: It may be due to a faulty battery. In this case, contact a rescue vehicle to connect jumper cables for temporary charging to start the engine. Alternatively, if jumper cables are unavailable, use a tow-start method to start the car.
