Generally, the driving modes of a car mainly include Eco Mode, Normal Mode, Snow Mode, and Sport Mode. Eco Mode: A more economical and fuel-efficient driving style, suitable for daily commuting. Eco Mode controls the engine speed with reasonable gear shifts to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, making it the best choice for drivers who prioritize fuel economy. Normal Mode: Customized for the majority, balancing power and fuel economy. Normal Mode is suitable for most people and is the default mode. This mode balances power and fuel consumption and is ideal for driving on roads with light traffic and no significant congestion. Snow Mode: This mode is designed to handle slippery road conditions. It is most useful for drivers in areas with heavy winter snow or mountainous regions. When switched to this mode, the vehicle officially operates in full-time four-wheel drive. Sport Mode: This mode does not just enhance the 'sense of acceleration' through tricks like delayed upshifts. Most importantly, it is designed to handle continuous curves.

I love studying different driving modes when driving, and now there are four mainstream types: Eco mode makes the throttle less responsive, saving fuel but with slower acceleration, ideal for highway cruising; Comfort mode softens the suspension and lightens the steering, making it most comfortable in city traffic jams; Sport mode is like a shot of adrenaline, with higher revs and quicker gear shifts, making the car leap forward with a press of the throttle; Off-road mode locks the differential and raises the chassis, specifically designed for muddy slopes. For daily commuting, the first two modes are hassle-free, while switching to Sport mode on weekend mountain runs is exhilarating—just don’t recklessly use Off-road mode on rainy days, as it can easily cause skidding.

Last time when I got my car repaired, the mechanic explained to me that the four driving modes differ significantly. The Eco mode limits engine output, and even the air conditioning becomes weaker; the Comfort mode focuses on balance, with a stable chassis and low noise; the Sport mode delays gear shifting, and the exhaust sound becomes louder; the Off-road mode is the most special, distributing power to wheels with better traction. I find the Comfort mode the most practical for city driving—quiet and smooth. Remember to wait a few seconds after switching modes for the system to respond, and avoid pressing the buttons frequently to prevent malfunctions.

What is the speed limit on Jiaozhou Bay Bridge?

Jiaozhou Bay Bridge has a speed limit of 80 km/h, with some sections limited to 100 km/h. Here are the relevant details: Official speed increase: The maximum speed limit on Jiaozhou Bay Bridge was previously 80 km/h, which many drivers considered too low. Recently, some sections of the bridge have officially increased their speed limits. Using the Hongdao Interchange as the boundary, the eastern sections remain at 80 km/h, while the western sections have been adjusted from 80 km/h to 100 km/h for passenger vehicles. Important notes: This is the first speed increase since Jiaozhou Bay Bridge opened to traffic two years ago. Currently, only certain sections of the bridge have increased speed limits, not the entire length. Traffic police have installed speed limit signs, and drivers must pay attention to these signs to avoid speeding. In addition to adjusting speed limits, this change also affects lanes for large vehicles. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge has three lanes in each direction, and large vehicles are prohibited from using the leftmost lane.

How Long Can a Plugged Tubeless Tire Last?

3-5 months. A plugged tubeless tire can typically last for 3-5 months, and if repaired well, it may last one or two years. After that, the damaged area might start leaking again, requiring re-repair or direct replacement. Plugging a tire essentially involves using an awl to insert a glue-coated rubber strip directly into the tire puncture to seal the leak. Below is relevant information: Maintain specified tire pressure: Tubeless tires are made of high-quality rubber, offering good elasticity and flexibility, with a wide tolerance for pressure variations. Even at high pressure, they don't feel as stiff as conventional tires, so a pressure gauge must be used for checks. Unlike standard tires, tubeless tires won't naturally lose air unless punctured. Therefore, always use a pressure gauge to check and maintain the specified pressure during inflation, rather than relying on feel as with conventional tires. Avoid punctures: When using tubeless tires, avoid punctures from sharp objects and contact with acids or alkalis. Contamination by oils can also accelerate rubber degradation. Keep the tires clean to prevent rubber aging and extend their service life.

Can I Take the Theory Test Without Enrolling in a Driving School?

You can take the theory test without enrolling in a driving school, but students who register with a driving school generally receive more convenient services. Firstly, they don't need to schedule the test themselves—the driving school will help some students book the test for the same time slot and provide shuttle buses to the test center. Note that not every city allows self-study for direct examination. Cities where you can obtain a driver's license without enrolling in a driving school: As of now, the pilot regions in China that have opened self-study for direct examination include Tianjin, Baotou, Changchun, Nanjing, Ningbo, Ma'anshan, Fuzhou, Ji'an, Qingdao, Anyang, Wuhan, Nanning, Chengdu, Qiandongnan, Dali, and Baoji. Regulations on self-study for direct examination of driver's licenses: On December 10, 2015, the General Office of the State Council forwarded the "Opinions on Promoting the Reform of the Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination System" issued by the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport. The document proposed that pilot regions with the necessary conditions should allow self-study for direct examination of small car drivers, fully liberalize cross-regional examination, license renewal, replacement, and verification, and strive to make the process of learning to drive and obtaining a license more convenient and efficient for the public.

Can the Subject 4 Test Be Scheduled in Different Locations?

No. Since the driver's license must be applied for in the place of household registration, the Subject 4 test must be taken at the local vehicle management office. According to Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": The vehicle management office shall arrange the test according to the scheduled test location and time. After passing the Subject 1 test, the applicant can schedule the Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test. In some areas, applicants can simultaneously schedule the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests and take them consecutively upon successful scheduling. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China," the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test, although officially, there is no Subject 4. Test Content: The test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a total score of 100 and a passing score of 90.

What are the four key technologies of autonomous driving?

They include key technologies such as environmental perception and sensor fusion, intelligent connected V2X, high-precision maps, and human-machine interaction technology (HMI). Here are the relevant introductions: Environmental Perception: The sensing system of autonomous driving needs to collect information around the vehicle and then make decisions (turning, changing lanes, accelerating, decelerating). Environmental perception includes the vehicle's own status, roads, pedestrians, traffic signals, traffic signs, traffic conditions, surrounding vehicles, etc. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Technology: Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology is a new generation of information and communication technology that connects vehicles with everything. Here, V represents the vehicle, and X represents any object that interacts with the vehicle. Currently, X mainly includes vehicles, people, roadside traffic infrastructure, and networks. High-Precision Maps: High-precision maps possess accurate vehicle location information and rich road element data, which can help vehicles anticipate complex road information such as slope, curvature, and heading. Compared to traditional maps, they offer higher real-time performance. Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) Technology: Human-machine interaction technology, especially voice control, gesture recognition, and touchscreen technology, will be widely adopted in the global future automotive market. The ultimate goal of designing human-machine interaction screens for autonomous vehicles is to provide a good user experience, enhancing the user's driving pleasure or operational experience during driving.

Will Insurance Companies Compensate for Vehicles Damaged by Natural Disasters and Flooding?

Insurance companies compensate for vehicles damaged by natural disasters and flooding under certain conditions. If you have purchased vehicle damage insurance, according to relevant insurance regulations: the insurance company will compensate for vehicle damage caused by natural disasters (except earthquakes), including lightning strikes, storms, tornadoes, heavy rain, floods, ground collapse, cliff collapse, avalanche, hail, mudslides, landslides, tsunamis, and other disasters. No Compensation for Secondary Startup After Flooding: The insurance company will not compensate for losses caused by starting the insured vehicle in water that submerges the exhaust pipe or by improper operation after the vehicle is submerged, leading to engine damage. In other words, if the vehicle is started again after being submerged, causing damage, the insurance company will not be responsible for compensation. Therefore, when a vehicle is submerged in water, remember not to start it again to prevent water from flowing back and damaging the engine, as the insurance company will not compensate for such damage. Precautions for Driving in Rainy Weather: When driving through water at low speed, always use a low gear, maintain steady throttle, and pass through slowly. Do not stop or shift gears midway, as this can easily cause the vehicle to stall and damage the engine. When driving at low speed in heavy rain, due to the increased water on the road and reduced friction between the tires and the road surface, it is essential to reduce speed appropriately, hold the steering wheel steady, and prevent the vehicle from losing control.
