In Subject 2, the entire process is conducted in first gear or reverse gear, with speed controlled by the clutch. When deceleration or stopping is required, you must first press the clutch all the way down, then apply the brake to slow down and stop. There is only one exception: when stopping on a slope, once you have identified the correct spot, press both the clutch and brake simultaneously to a complete stop. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Low speed: When stopping at low speed, press the clutch first, then the brake, to come to a halt. This is because the lower the speed, the greater the frictional resistance between the tires and the ground. If the brake is pressed first, the engine is more likely to stall. 2. Clutch operation: The key points for clutch operation when starting are: fast, slow, and coordinated. That is, lift the pedal quickly at the beginning; when the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state (indicated by a change in the engine sound), lift the pedal slightly slower; and during the transition from semi-engagement to full engagement, lift the pedal gradually. While lifting the clutch pedal, gradually press the accelerator pedal according to the engine resistance to ensure a smooth start.

How early can a sedan's annual inspection be conducted?

Sedan annual inspections can be conducted up to three months in advance. The inspection items include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their attached equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Checking whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, and whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle; 4. Inspecting whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced.

What to Do When the Engine Malfunction Light Comes On in a Car?

When the engine malfunction light comes on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally and whether there are issues such as shaking or emitting black smoke. If present, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the light is red. If the engine can start, turn it off for 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without pressing the clutch. The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait for 5-10 seconds to see if the malfunction light on the dashboard turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault code, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs. There are seven main reasons why the engine malfunction light may come on: Sensor Failure: Sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors may become damaged, have poor contact, or lose signal. This prevents the car's ECU from accurately obtaining engine data, triggering the malfunction light. Fuel or Oil Quality Issues: Using fuel or oil that does not meet the manufacturer's specifications may cause engine wear, leading to the malfunction light. Poor Combustion of Air-Fuel Mixture: Poor combustion can cause engine carbon buildup or knocking. The oxygen sensor detects this and reports it to the ECU, triggering the malfunction light. Issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can lead to poor combustion. Turbocharger Problems: Issues with the intake boost line or turbocharger can also trigger the malfunction light. The most common issue is a damaged turbocharger, accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake Problems: Clogged engine intake passages can trigger the malfunction light. A dirty or uncleaned air filter can cause intake issues. Exhaust Problems: Exhaust system failures, such as faulty rear oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, exhaust camshafts, or bearings, can trigger the malfunction light. The catalytic converter is the most common culprit. Using leaded gasoline, lead- or silicon-based oil additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system issues can cause catalytic converter failure. Anti-Theft System Malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system fails or the anti-theft controller does not match the engine ECU, the engine may not function properly, and the malfunction light will come on.

How Often Should Car Batteries Be Replaced?

Car batteries typically need replacement every 2 to 3 years. With proper maintenance, they can last over 4 years, while improper maintenance may lead to premature failure within months. Regular checks on electrolyte levels are essential during battery use, along with timely inspection and replenishment of the battery's charge. Methods to determine if a battery is losing power: 1. If the engine fails to start after one or two attempts, it may indicate insufficient voltage; 2. For batteries over a year old, pressing the horn before starting the car can help—if the horn sounds weaker than usual, the battery is likely running out of power; 3. Checking the headlights: bright white light indicates normal battery function, while dim red light suggests insufficient power.
