No need to press the clutch. Here are the detailed explanations: S-Turn Driving Test Tips: Before entering a left turn, keep the vehicle to the right, using the left front corner of the car to follow the right edge line. When transitioning to a right turn, straighten the steering wheel, enter the right turn, and use the right front corner of the car to follow the left edge line. Once safely out of the curve, straighten the steering wheel again. Before entering a right turn, keep the vehicle to the left, using the right front corner of the car to follow the left edge line. When transitioning to a left turn, straighten the steering wheel, enter the left turn, and use the left front corner of the car to follow the right edge line. Once safely out of the curve, straighten the steering wheel again. Precautions: When entering a curve, reduce speed in advance and keep to the right. Avoid turning the steering wheel too quickly or sharply. Choose the path with the largest turning radius whenever possible. Avoid using the brakes, especially emergency braking. Check the rearview mirrors—learning to use them is essential. Also, master the clutch by using the half-clutch technique.

What to Do When the Song MAX Tire Pressure Monitoring Shows Signal Abnormality?

If the Song MAX tire pressure monitoring shows a signal abnormality, you can perform a tire pressure reset. A tire pressure reset is an operation to reset the tire pressure monitoring system after resolving a tire pressure fault. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the fault light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; results in a heavy steering wheel and tendencies to deviate, posing risks to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling.

How many points are deducted for running a red light by crossing the line?

If the front wheels of the vehicle just cross the stop line during a red light and the vehicle stops immediately without moving, it will not be considered as running a red light. According to Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," continuing to proceed in violation of the rules constitutes running a red light, which results in a deduction of 6 points. If the vehicle completes crossing the line and continues to move until it fully crosses the line before stopping, thereby affecting the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians, it will be penalized as stopping beyond the line, typically resulting in a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license and a fine. Crossing the stop line is divided into two scenarios: the front wheels crossing the stop line, and the entire vehicle crossing the stop line. The "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 38 states: Motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights indicate: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. At intersections without non-motor vehicle signal lights or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should proceed according to the motor vehicle signal lights. The new traffic regulations clearly stipulate that the following three conditions must be met for a vehicle to be considered as running a red light: The vehicle illegally crosses the stop line. The vehicle illegally enters the intersection. The vehicle illegally crosses the opposite stop line. Electronic police (traffic cameras) capture three complete video images to determine a vehicle's illegal running of a red light: an image of the vehicle's violation, an image of the vehicle's license plate, and a panoramic image. According to Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," there are three scenarios for determining whether a vehicle is illegally running a red light while driving: If the vehicle's front wheels cross the stop line or both front and rear wheels cross the stop line but the rear of the vehicle does not cross the stop line and stops immediately, traffic police will not penalize it as running a red light, but may penalize it for improper stopping, deducting 3 points. If the vehicle's front wheels cross the stop line, regardless of whether the entire vehicle has fully crossed the stop line, and the vehicle stops and then reverses back, being captured by traffic cameras with two complete moving images, it will be treated as running a red light, resulting in a deduction of 6 points and a fine. If the entire vehicle fully crosses the stop line and stops or continues to proceed, and within one red light cycle, the traffic cameras capture the three complete images constituting the vehicle's illegal running of a red light, regardless of whether the vehicle reaches the intersection or crosses the opposite stop line, it will be treated as illegally running a red light, penalized with a deduction of 6 points and a fine. Article 44 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" states: Motor vehicles passing through intersections must proceed according to traffic signal lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, or the direction of traffic police. When passing through intersections without traffic signal lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, or traffic police direction, they must slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way.

Where is the engine ECU located?

The engine ECU is installed next to the battery in the engine compartment. In some models, it may also be located inside the plastic panel under the steering wheel. The installation position of the ECU varies depending on the vehicle model. The ECU, commonly known as the vehicle's onboard computer, controls various systems such as the transmission, engine, entertainment system, audio system, and braking system. When the ECU malfunctions, symptoms may include erratic warning lights on the dashboard and abnormal operation of the throttle and brakes. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly visit a repair shop or 4S store for professional inspection and maintenance to prevent potential safety hazards during vehicle use.
