Tire sizes have the following differences: 1. Base model cars: Base model cars use smaller tires, but the aspect ratio of the tires will increase, resulting in minimal overall difference. 2. High-end models: High-end models use larger tires, which increase ground clearance and improve comfort, but there is no difference in handling. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the side of the tire; when the tread wears down to the point indicated by the triangle, replacement is recommended. There are also raised marks inside the tire tread grooves; when the tread wears down to the level of these raised marks, the tire should be replaced. A simple puncture can be repaired without needing replacement, but a bulge must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, their lifespan will decrease. It is recommended not to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date is marked on the side of the tire.

Where to Use Turn Signals in Subject 2 Driving Test?

There are 6 instances where turn signals are required in Subject 2: When starting the vehicle, turn on the left turn signal; When starting on a slope, turn on the left turn signal; During parallel parking, turn on the right turn signal when pulling over to park, stopping 30 cm from the curb before reversing; Before shifting into reverse during parallel parking, turn on the left turn signal, as the steering wheel will be turned fully right during reversing, causing the front of the car to move left; Before exiting the parking space during parallel parking, shift into drive and turn on the left turn signal, turning it off promptly after exiting; When entering a sharp turn (90-degree turn), turn on the left turn signal and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Penalties for incorrect turn signal usage are as follows: Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. Using turn signals for less than 3 seconds before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with failing, 20-point, 10-point, and 5-point deduction criteria. Passing requires: ① Scoring at least 90 points for large passenger vehicles, trailers, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, or large trucks; ② Scoring at least 80 points for other vehicle types. For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (removed for C2), sharp turns (90-degree turns), and S-curves (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll collection). For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test includes: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, S-curves, sharp turns, narrow gate passage, continuous obstacle course, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, and simulations for highways, mountainous curves, tunnels, rain/fog, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

Why Does the Car Engine Shake When Starting?

Car engine shaking during startup can be caused by: 1. Dirty throttle body; 2. Faulty spark plugs; 3. Non-functioning engine cylinders; 4. Aging rubber components in the engine mounts and transmission mounts. The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, determining its power performance, fuel economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Car engines are categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid motors. Among these, both gasoline and diesel engines belong to reciprocating piston-type internal combustion engines, converting the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston motion to deliver power output.

What is the freezing temperature of gasoline?

Gasoline does not freeze, as it is a mixture and does not have a fixed freezing point. Here are some details about gasoline: 1. Freezing point: The freezing point of gasoline varies depending on its grade. The general freezing point of gasoline is -75°C, so it will never freeze. 2. Composition: Gasoline is not a simple substance. It is not pure at all. Instead, it is a mixture of various hydrocarbons and additives—amounting to hundreds of components. Common ones include ethanol, toluene, octane, hexane, and heptane. Most of the mentioned chemicals have several structural forms called isomers.

What Does Six-Year Exemption from Inspection Mean?

Six-year exemption from inspection means that vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption can directly apply for inspection labels from the traffic police department without undergoing on-site inspections at inspection agencies. Different types of vehicles have varying inspection times and regulations: 1. Non-commercial vehicles such as small cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, after which they must be inspected annually; 2. Non-commercial vehicles such as small cars over 15 years old must be inspected every six months; 3. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually; 4. Commercial passenger vehicles over 15 years old must be inspected every six months; 5. Large commercial passenger vehicles and trucks must be inspected annually within the first 10 years, and every six months after exceeding 10 years.

What Causes the Steering to Still Be Off After Wheel Alignment?

This is caused by inaccurate wheel alignment. In such cases, it is necessary to have the wheel alignment redone. Below is a relevant introduction to wheel alignment: 1. Function: Wheel alignment involves the installation positions of the wheels, suspension, and steering mechanism. Since a car is a highly precise mechanical device, a well-tuned vehicle requires the installation positions and parameters of various mechanical components to be accurate down to every screw. 2. Situations Requiring Alignment: When a car exhibits pulling to one side, it may be due to reduced stability in the chassis, necessitating a wheel alignment. If the steering wheel is not straight, there is severe uneven tire wear (commonly known as tire cupping), or if the steering or suspension system has been replaced, a wheel alignment is required.
