For the slope fixed-point parking in Subject 2, you should press the clutch first and then the brake. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: 1. Concept: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. It involves mastering basic driving operation essentials and possessing fundamental vehicle control abilities; proficiently mastering basic methods for field and road driving within the test area, having the capability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the vehicle's spatial position, and accurately controlling the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route. 2. Test Items: The C1/C2 car test items include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, slope fixed-point parking and starting, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection.

When performing a hill start, it's crucial to follow the correct sequence of operations to avoid stalling or rolling backward. Having taught many students, I've found the key lies in the coordination between the clutch and brake. As the vehicle approaches the designated stopping point, first press the clutch pedal fully to cut off the power, then quickly apply the brake to bring the car to a steady stop. This prevents the engine from stalling due to excessive resistance. After stopping, don't rush to start; engage first gear in preparation. The takeoff requires even more finesse: gradually release the clutch to the biting point until the car body begins to vibrate, while keeping the right foot firmly on the brake. When you feel the front of the car slightly lift or notice the tachometer needle dip significantly, it indicates the clutch is properly engaged—only then should you slowly release the brake pedal. Throughout the process, maintain a steady grip on the steering wheel to avoid crossing lines due to excessive movement. On particularly steep slopes, a slight press on the accelerator before releasing the brake can provide extra power, though during the Category 2 driving test, use of the accelerator is generally prohibited, relying solely on clutch control. Regular practice to locate the biting point accurately will ensure confidence during the test.

During the driving test for Subject 2, I was most afraid of the slope parking. Stalling and rolling back made me fail twice. Later, after extra practice with my instructor, I realized the issue was with the operation sequence. When parking, you must first press the clutch all the way down to instantly cut off the power source, then press the brake to stop steadily. If the sequence is reversed, pressing only the brake will inevitably cause the engine to stall, resulting in immediate point deduction during the test. After stopping, don’t move your body to check the reference points—keep your foot movements unchanged. When starting, slowly release the clutch and feel the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel. Wait until the vibration is noticeable but not to the point of stalling, then gently release the brake with your right foot. The car will slowly climb up. If nothing happens after releasing the brake, it means you haven’t released the clutch enough—you can release it a bit more, but never release it abruptly. The entire process should be completed within 30 seconds; exceeding this time will result in failure. Remember, it’s safest to release the brake as soon as the front of the car starts to tilt upward. Practice several times to get a feel for it, and it will come naturally during the test.

How to Adjust Car Audio for the Best Sound Quality?

The best method to adjust car audio for optimal sound quality is: 1. First, reset all additional functions of the car's head unit to factory settings, then set the treble, midrange, and bass to the middle position, and do the same for the left-right balance; 2. Set all amplifier volumes to the lowest position; 3. Set the filter to OFF; 4. Set the CROSSOVER to the lowest; 5. Apply the same settings to the subwoofer amplifier. The sound quality of car audio is also influenced by the music source. A good music experience depends on both the audio system and the quality of the music. When selecting a music source, it is advisable to choose lossless audio formats to ensure that the audio system can fully reproduce the true effect of the music.

How to Detect if the High-Pressure Fuel Pump is Damaged?

Detecting whether the high-pressure fuel pump is damaged involves observing the following symptoms: 1. Weak acceleration; 2. Severe engine shaking; 3. Difficulty starting the car; 4. Unstable idle speed; 5. Abnormal engine stalling, etc. Issues with the high-pressure fuel pump are generally caused by blockages, oil leaks, or mechanical failures. The fuel pump is a critical component of the fuel system. If the pump malfunctions, the fuel system cannot operate properly, leading to the car failing to start. Conventional fuel-injected engines typically have only one fuel pump, which is the gasoline pump located inside the fuel tank. The high-pressure fuel pump is an additional pump found in direct-injection engines, but unlike the standard gasoline pump, it is not installed inside the fuel tank. The high-pressure fuel pump is usually located in the engine compartment.

Can tap water be used directly as windshield washer fluid?

Windshield washer fluid cannot be directly replaced with tap water. Windshield washer fluid is completely different from conventional tap water, as it not only has cleaning functions but also possesses multiple properties such as anti-static, anti-fog, lubrication, and anti-freeze. However, using tap water as a substitute for windshield washer fluid may cause impurities to adhere to rubber pipes, leading to clogged pipelines and affecting normal water spraying. Long-term use of tap water may increase friction between the glass surface and the wiper blades, resulting in scratches on the glass. Generally, windshield washer fluids on the market are divided into three main categories: 1. Summer-use type, which adds insect repellent ingredients to the original composition to quickly remove insect residues on the windshield and effectively clean insect marks on the front of the car; 2. Winter-use type, which ensures that it does not freeze or damage car facilities even when the external temperature is below -20 degrees Celsius, and also has a certain effect of melting snow and ice. In cold winter weather when the windshield needs to be cleaned on the road, windshield washer fluid can not only clean effectively but also absorb static electricity; 3. Special anti-freeze type, which ensures that it does not freeze even at -40 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for use in the extremely cold regions of northern China.

How to Use the S Gear in Lavida?

Lavida's S gear is used when the car needs to overtake or climb a slope. The S gear can increase the engine load, which results in delayed gear shifting and greater power output in a short period, making it easier to overtake or climb a slope. In this gear, the car's RPM is higher, the fuel injection volume from the engine's fuel injector also increases, and fuel consumption rises accordingly. The dimensions of the Lavida are 4670 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, and 1474 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2668 mm.
