There is no strict order, but generally, it is recommended to turn on the signal light first and then shift gears. This is to avoid forgetting to signal and because the signal light should be activated at least three seconds in advance, which provides enough time to shift gears during those three seconds. Below is more information about parallel parking: 1. Test Purpose: To assess the driver's ability to correctly park the vehicle in a roadside parking space on the right. 2. Operation Requirements: The driver must park the vehicle in the right parking space without the wheels touching the lane boundary or the parking space boundary. 3. Test Criteria: (1) If the vehicle body crosses the line after stopping in the parking space, 100 points will be deducted. (2) If the wheels touch the lane boundary while driving, 10 points will be deducted. (3) If the vehicle is not parked inside the parking space, 100 points will be deducted. (4) If the left turn signal is not activated when starting, 10 points will be deducted. (5) If the vehicle stops midway, 100 points will be deducted.

What Maintenance Does a Car Need at 20,000 Kilometers?

After a car has traveled 20,000 kilometers, the maintenance items include: changing the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. Below is an introduction to car maintenance taboos: 1. Avoid running the engine for long periods in an unventilated garage. The exhaust gas from the engine contains carbon monoxide, an invisible and odorless toxic gas. Even when working outdoors, avoid staying near the exhaust pipe of a running engine for extended periods. 2. Avoid sucking oil pipes with your mouth. Gasoline is not only flammable and explosive but also toxic. Especially leaded gasoline can damage the nervous system, digestive tract, and kidneys. Additionally, gasoline contains high concentrations of sulfides, as hydrogen sulfide is also toxic. Ingesting gasoline can lead to poisoning or death. If ingested, induce vomiting and seek medical treatment immediately. 3. Avoid contact with carburetor cleaner. Most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol, all of which are toxic. Therefore, inhaling these substances or getting them on the skin and eyes is very dangerous.

Does the fire brigade not issue a certificate for vehicle spontaneous combustion?

There is no regulation requiring the fire brigade to issue a certificate for vehicle spontaneous combustion. Here are the details: 1. Precautions: In reality, there is indeed such a demand, but there is no regulation stating that the fire brigade must issue a certificate. If it is for insurance purposes, it is essential to request the fire brigade to issue a fire incident report, which is the correct approach. 2. Causes of spontaneous combustion: Installing electrical appliances or modifying wiring in a vehicle, due to installer errors or rough construction, can cause short circuits in the wiring, leading to a fire. Aging of vehicle electrical components and wiring, combined with the user's neglect of inspection and maintenance, can also easily result in short circuits and fires. Aging of engine fuel lines and improper replacement of parts like fuel pipes can cause fuel leaks. When encountering short circuits in wiring or aging electrical components producing open flames, it is easy to ignite gasoline, causing a fire. New cars catching fire due to quality issues are considered extremely rare occurrences. With the continuous improvement in manufacturing standards, such fire incidents are becoming increasingly rare.

What is the working principle of a gasoline engine spark plug?

The working principle of a gasoline engine spark plug: The spark plug's ground electrode is connected to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block via the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the center electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and the center electrode, it ionizes the medium between the center electrode and the ground electrode, generating a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. Early spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition wires, but in the past decade, most car engines have switched to direct connection between the ignition coil and the spark plug. If a spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as ignition system leakage, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The most significant problem is difficulty in ignition, affecting the vehicle's normal operation. Severe spark plug erosion, including scarring at the top, damage, or melted and eroded electrodes, indicates that the spark plug is damaged and should be replaced.

Should You Wash Your Car Immediately After It Gets Rained On?

You should wash your car immediately after it gets rained on. Here are the details: 1. Reasons: Nowadays, air quality is far worse than before, and rainwater contains many impurities. Therefore, car owners must remember to wash their beloved cars again after they have been exposed to rain. First, manually remove large debris from the car, such as leaves, mud, and small stones. Rinse the car's surface with clean water to remove fine dust and acid rain, then use a soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Rainwater mixed with mud from the ground can stick to the car's chassis, and if left uncleaned for a long time, it can cause metal oxidation on the chassis, posing a safety hazard. 2. Purpose of Washing: Generally speaking, washing a car is not just about making it clean and shiny; its main purpose is maintenance. In other words, car washing is the most basic aspect of car maintenance. The timing of car washing can be determined based on weather conditions, road conditions, and some special circumstances.
