Subject 4 lighting mnemonics: Turning on high beams is always wrong, hazard warning lights are always correct, turn on left turn signal when entering the highway, turn on right turn signal when exiting the highway, no signal when entering a roundabout, turn on right turn signal when exiting a roundabout. Other Subject 4 mnemonics: 1. Uphill and downhill braking: brake early when going downhill, delay braking when going uphill. Uphill and downhill meeting: downhill yields to uphill. 2. Wheel skidding issues: steer in the opposite direction for front wheel skid, steer in the same direction for rear wheel skid. Summary is 'front opposite, rear same'. If the question doesn't specify front or rear wheels, assume it's a rear wheel skid. 3. About waiting: for same direction with only 1 or 2 motor lanes, stop and wait; with 3 lanes, you can pass slowly without waiting. 4. Lane changing: yield to vehicles without obstacles, mountain-side vehicles yield to non-mountain-side vehicles. Do not change lanes within 50 meters of an intersection. 5. Braking: foot brake is the service brake, hand brake is the parking brake, engine braking is low gear driving, accelerator pedal is the throttle.

When taking the lighting section of driving test subject four, I found that mnemonics are truly a treasure trove. High beams are only used on unlit highways or when passing through intersections without streetlights, and prolonged use should be avoided. Low beams, on the other hand, are primarily for urban roads with streetlights or during nighttime encounters with oncoming traffic—never forget to switch, as misjudgment can easily lead to accidents. Turn signals are super critical; activate them 30 to 50 meters in advance, especially when turning, changing lanes, or pulling over to park. If you suddenly turn without signaling, the examiner will deduct points immediately. Fog lights are specifically for rainy, foggy, or snowy days when visibility is poor—turning them on increases brightness, and they work better in combination with low beams. Hazard lights are mainly used when the vehicle malfunctions, during temporary stops, or in emergencies to alert trailing vehicles to maintain distance. Remember to practice operating the light switches repeatedly during training to build muscle memory, and the test will naturally be a breeze. These may seem simple, but safety always comes first in daily driving.

What type of transmission does the Subaru Forester use?

Subaru Forester uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which performs well in terms of shift smoothness and efficiency. This type of transmission is commonly used in Japanese automobiles. The Subaru Forester has body dimensions of 4560mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1700mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2615mm. The exterior design of the Subaru Forester appears somewhat unconventional. Compared to the rugged and bold front ends of other SUVs, the Forester's wide and flat front end resembles that of a luxury sedan. The trapezoidal front grille design is conservative, and the nearly square headlight design is not particularly innovative, but it pairs decently with the two deep sheet metal lines on the engine hood.

What is the difference between a 3-cylinder and a 4-cylinder engine?

The difference between a 3-cylinder and a 4-cylinder engine lies in the number of cylinders: a 3-cylinder engine has three cylinders, while a 4-cylinder engine has four cylinders. The working principles of both 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines are as follows: 1. Compression stroke: The piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, with both the intake and exhaust valves closed; 2. Intake stroke: The piston is driven by the crankshaft from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, while the intake valve opens and the exhaust valve closes; 3. Exhaust stroke: The exhaust valve opens, and the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, expelling exhaust gases as the piston rises; 4. Combustion and expansion stroke: Both the intake and exhaust valves close, the spark plug ignites, and the air-fuel mixture burns vigorously.

Where is the radiator located in a Honda Fit?

Honda Fit's radiator is positioned in front of the driver's seat, near the area of the headlights. The function of the radiator is: when the engine's water temperature rises, the water pump circulates repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature, thereby protecting the engine. Taking the 2021 Fit as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4109mm, width 1694mm, height 1537mm, wheelbase 2530mm, fuel tank capacity 40L, and curb weight 1088kg.

Can the Position Lights and Low Beam Headlights Be Turned On Simultaneously?

Position lights and low beam headlights cannot be turned on simultaneously. Generally, the vehicle's light switch does not allow both position lights and low beam headlights to be activated at the same time. Low beam headlights are used for illumination during nighttime driving. Vehicles also have high beam headlights, which provide longer illumination distance and higher brightness. Position lights do not serve an illumination purpose. Position lights are warning lights designed to alert other vehicles. They are located at the front and rear edges of the vehicle, and large trucks also have position lights on their roofs and sides. Position lights are installed along the edges of the vehicle's roof, indicating both the height and width of the vehicle. Safety regulations require that vehicles with a height exceeding three meters must be equipped with position lights, which are white at the front and red at the rear.
