The body dimensions of the GAC Trumpchi GM8 are 5066mm in length, 1923mm in width, and 1822mm in height, as per official data. The length of the GAC Trumpchi GM8 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two parallel planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The GAC Trumpchi GM8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 252 and a peak torque of 390 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. National regulations stipulate specific dimensions for vehicles. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is designed to ensure sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking in adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in providing adequate space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

My GAC Trumpchi GM8 feels incredibly spacious to drive, with a body length of 5066mm, width of 1884mm, height of 1822mm, and a wheelbase of 3000mm, equivalent to a big vehicle measuring 5 meters long and 1.88 meters wide. As a family car, the interior space is super generous; even an adult can sit comfortably in the third row without feeling cramped, and there's no problem fitting in a stroller or luggage. Driving in the city requires a bit more attention, especially when entering older residential areas or parking spots in shopping centers. Despite its large size, the turning radius is manageable, but the parking space length needs to be sufficient. I've installed a reverse camera to assist with parking, and I'd recommend new drivers get accustomed to the size before tackling narrow roads. Overall, the practicality is high. In terms of fuel consumption, it's stable on highways but may consume a bit more in urban areas. During maintenance, checking tire pressure is advised to avoid uneven wear.

What Happens When a Stationary Car Gets Flooded?

A stationary car that gets flooded can cause the following damages: 1. Pungent odor inside the car: A water-damaged car will have a musty and foul smell, which is very difficult to eliminate completely. 2. Rusting of interior brackets: There are many exposed metal brackets under the dashboard. Since these brackets are not easily exposed to moisture, manufacturers typically do not apply anti-rust treatment to them. When water enters the car and evaporates, it causes these brackets to rust. 3. Hardened seats: For cars where the water level reaches the seats, even after cleaning and drying, the seats will feel stiff, more like sitting on thick cardboard rather than foam. Pressing them with your hand will also reveal a lack of elasticity. 4. Rusting of wheel bearings: If the car is submerged in water for a long time, water molecules can penetrate the bearings, causing the grease to deteriorate and leading to rust. This results in noticeable abnormal noises when the wheels rotate.

What does the fuel-saving switch 1/2 and 1 mean?

The fuel-saving switch is named "Engine Multi-state Torque Switch". Its function is to adjust the engine's output power, providing lower power when the vehicle is empty to achieve fuel-saving purposes, while delivering full power when heavily loaded to meet the vehicle's rigid demand for performance. 1/2 indicates use during medium load, and 1 indicates use during heavy load, corresponding to different operating conditions. Below is some information about fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: Generally refers to the amount of gasoline consumed per 100 kilometers, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idle time when parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idle parking time; avoid rapid acceleration, slamming the throttle, and driving at lower RPMs. 3. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various working conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all have an impact.

Where is the Low Beam Located?

The switch for the low beam is generally located on the left side of the dashboard, near the door. Turning it one notch activates the low beam. The smaller bulb on the inner side of the front of the car is the high beam, while the larger lamp on the outer side is the low beam. Below are specific details about the low beam of motor vehicles: 1. Usage: The high beam is typically used when driving at night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting, such as on dimly lit national highways or expressways. In urban areas with good lighting, the low beam must be used. 2. Related lighting change regulations: When passing under an arch bridge or a crosswalk at night, alternate between low and high beams; when passing through an intersection without traffic signals at night, alternate between low and high beams; when navigating sharp curves or slopes at night, flash the low and high beams alternately twice consecutively.

Does touching the line in the S-curve during Subject 2 result in failure?

S-curve line touching is considered a failure. According to Subject 2 examination deduction code 20601: During curve driving, if the vehicle's wheels touch the road edge line, 100 points will be deducted. Below are some introductions about the S-curve: 1. Precautions: Use the rearview mirror to observe the rear, steer towards the side where the rear of the car is wider, avoid reversing too quickly, and make corrections promptly. 2. Principle: Steering follows the rule of 'steer as much as you return, steer fast return fast, steer slow return slow'. For example, if the left rear of the car is wider, steer 90 degrees to the left. When approaching the desired effect, return 90 degrees to the right. The same principle applies to the speed of steering.

Is the second chance for Subject 3 on the same route?

Since there is no need to draw a new number for the second chance of the Subject 3 test, it is generally the same route. Below is relevant information about the Subject 3 test: 1. Test Regulations: The specific subjects of the Subject 3 test are road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge, each with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90 points. 2. Study Hour Requirements: Subject 3 requires a total of 40 study hours, including 16 hours of theory, 4 hours of simulated driving, and 20 hours of practical operation. According to the teaching syllabus, study hours are recorded cumulatively, with each student allowed to sign in for a maximum of 4 study hours per day.

Is There a Time Limit for Half-Clutch When Pulling Over?

Half-clutch when pulling over should not exceed 15 seconds, otherwise it will be judged as a timeout. Here are some relevant introductions about pulling over in the driving test: 1. Pulling over techniques: In the driving test, when pulling over, the car body should cut into the roadside at an angle of about 30-40 degrees. When the right front corner of the car reaches the edge line, turn the steering wheel to the left to straighten the car body. There is no need to require the distance between the car body and the edge line, just get as close as possible. 2. Precautions for pulling over: When signaling for pulling over, it should not be too early or too late. Generally, it is appropriate to turn on the signal after hearing the voice announcement for pulling over.
