Manual transmission tests include one additional item compared to automatic transmission tests: hill start. Differences: Manual transmission Subject 2 test consists of 5 items: right-angle turns, curve driving, hill start, parallel parking, and reverse parking. Automatic transmission models do not include the hill start item in Subject 2. The challenge in manual transmission hill start lies in accurately stopping the vehicle in the correct position and preventing it from rolling back when starting. This requires the examinee to master the use of the clutch. Difficulty Level: Manual transmission is more complex to operate compared to automatic transmission, and Subject 2 is one of the most challenging parts of the driving test! Particularly, automatic transmission does not require clutch control and is less prone to stalling, making it simpler and easier to operate. However, manual transmission also has its advantages.

What does the plus and minus sign above the D in an automatic transmission mean?

The plus and minus signs on an automatic transmission represent the manual mode. In manual mode, the driver can manually shift up or down, similar to driving a manual transmission car. The car will not automatically shift gears. Generally, only automatic transmissions with manual mode (often referred to as "tiptronic" or "manumatic") will have these symbols. Most often, there is also an "M" letter between the plus and minus signs. Above and below the "M" letter, there are usually two dot symbols. Pushing the gear lever toward the "-" direction will downshift by one gear, while pushing it toward the "+" direction will upshift by one gear. Switching to manual mode is also very simple: if the plus and minus signs are on the left side of the "D" position, move the gear lever to the left; if they are on the right side, move it to the right. The car can be switched to manual mode at any time, without restrictions on timing, RPM, etc. The transmission will automatically match the appropriate gear based on the real-time speed of the vehicle.

How Many Years Does a Car Battery Generally Last?

Automobile batteries typically have a lifespan of around 2-3 years. With proper use and maintenance, they can last over 4 years without issue. However, improper use and maintenance can lead to premature failure within just a few months. Therefore, correct usage of car batteries is crucial. Common driving habits that can damage the battery include: 1. Using in-car electrical devices for extended periods while the engine is off. The correct practice is to limit continuous radio use to no more than 30 minutes when the engine is off, and it's not recommended to use devices like car DVD players in this state. 2. Using external power devices while the engine is off. High-power external devices such as car vacuum cleaners or portable air pumps should never be used when the vehicle is turned off, as they can quickly drain the battery and affect normal vehicle startup. Such rapid power consumption also significantly harms the battery itself. 3. Forgetting to turn off lights after parking. This can be divided into two categories, one being forgetting to turn off the vehicle's headlights after nighttime parking.
