If there are no obvious scratches on the vehicle's paint, it is recommended not to proceed. Below is additional information about automotive paint: When is painting necessary: Painting is required when there are severe scratches on the vehicle's body that expose the primer. If the primer is exposed and not treated promptly, rusting can occur, which may lead to severe corrosion, reducing the structural strength of the vehicle's body and significantly affecting its appearance. Painting affects resale value: Repainting a vehicle can have a certain impact on its resale value. If the intention is to change the vehicle's color for personal reasons, it is advisable not to use paint. Instead, consider using colored wraps, which provide good protection for the original paint and do not affect the vehicle's resale value.

Does the 10-day period for failing Subject 2 include the day of the test?

Subject 2 failing the 10-day period does not include the day of the test. Here are the relevant details: 1. For candidates who fail both attempts in one exam, the driving school will schedule a retest after ten working days or allow self-scheduling; 2. There are a maximum of five retest opportunities. If all five attempts are unsuccessful, all previous results will be voided, requiring the payment of tuition fees again and restarting from Subject 1; 3. Each exam offers two attempts. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, an immediate or later retest can be arranged on the spot. Passing the second attempt counts as passing the exam, while failing the second attempt results in the termination of the exam with a failing grade, necessitating another retest appointment.

What are the hazards of long-term idling with the air conditioning on in a car?

The main hazards of long-term idling with the air conditioning on in a car are: 1. It can cause incomplete combustion in the engine, increasing carbon deposits inside the engine and leading to wear and tear on car components. 2. It can result in incomplete gasoline combustion, producing toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the air conditioning is left on during prolonged idling, people inside the car may experience carbon monoxide poisoning. 3. It can affect the vehicle's cooling system. When the vehicle is in the ignition state, the engine is operating and generating heat. While driving, the movement of the vehicle creates some airflow, which helps dissipate part of the engine's heat. However, during idling, there is no such airflow assistance. The engine's heat can only be cooled by the vehicle's cooling system.

Why Can't the Manual Transmission Reverse Gear Suddenly Engage?

Manual transmission reverse gear suddenly failing to engage is primarily due to: 1. The clutch pedal not being fully depressed. In this case, simply press the clutch pedal again firmly. 2. If the clutch is already fully depressed but still can't engage, it means the gear teeth are misaligned. The solution is to engage any forward gear (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) to rotate the gears slightly, then attempt reverse gear again. Additional information: 1. A synchronizer is used in transmissions during gear shifts, especially when downshifting from higher gears, to prevent gear tooth or spline tooth impacts. To avoid inter-tooth impacts, synchronizers were developed. 2. Mainly composed of a coupling sleeve and synchronizer rings, they achieve synchronization primarily through friction.

Will Driving Fast in M1 Gear Damage the Car?

Driving fast in M1 gear can damage the car. The M1 gear in a car refers to the low-speed gear, which is mostly used when going up or down slopes, entering underground parking garages, in traffic jams, or when following other vehicles. Prolonged use of M1 gear at high speeds can cause the transmission oil temperature to rise, potentially leading to heat damage to the transmission. Here’s a related explanation: The "M" stands for the English word "Manual," meaning manual transmission in Chinese. The "1" refers to the first gear. The M gear is a versatile gear that can be used as a sport mode, a climbing or descending gear, and also as an overtaking gear. The M gear in a manual-automatic transmission is designed to allow the driver to take control away from the onboard computer, enabling the driver to operate the vehicle based on their own judgment and enjoy the freedom of driving.
