I've been driving the Sinotruk Howo truck for several years and find the switch designs quite practical, especially those commonly used during daily driving. For example, the ignition switch is located on the right side of the steering wheel—just a light twist starts the engine. The light switch is on the left side of the dashboard, with settings for headlights and parking lights, ensuring safe nighttime driving by illuminating the road clearly. The wiper switch is on the right-hand lever, featuring multiple speed settings to adjust wiper speed—perfect for clearing the windshield during rain and maintaining clear visibility. The air conditioning switch is on the center console, allowing you to set the temperature, fan speed, and recirculation mode, making long-distance trips more comfortable by regulating the cabin temperature. Other switches, like the turn signal on the steering column, provide a simple flick to alert others before turning, while the horn switch at the center of the steering wheel warns of emergencies. Regularly wiping these switches with a damp cloth prevents dust buildup and ensures smooth operation, enhancing driving confidence.

When I first started with the Sinotruk Howo Han, I was a bit nervous, but the switch operations were quick to get used to, and I gradually became comfortable with them. The ignition switch starts the engine with a simple twist; the turn signal switch is conveniently operated with the left hand—just a light press for left or right turns. The wiper switch offers different speed options, which are sufficient for rainy conditions. The air conditioning switch adjusts temperature and airflow—just set a comfortable level and enjoy the ride. The headlight switch, when turned on at night or in foggy conditions, ensures clear visibility all around. The central console also has window switches to control the opening and closing of the cabin. As a beginner, I recommend starting by familiarizing yourself with these basic switches to avoid accidental presses. Before each trip, take a quick glance at the dashboard switch positions for added safety and peace of mind.

I'm quite curious about the switches in Sinotruk Howo trucks and often wonder how they work. The ignition switch connects to the battery and powers on with a twist; the light switch controls the headlight circuit with multi-stage settings; the wiper switch manages the wiper motor with adjustable speeds; the air conditioning switch activates the fan and compressor to regulate temperature; and there are functional switches like the parking brake switch to ensure safe parking. During daily use, avoid operating them with wet hands, and cleaning the gaps between buttons can extend their lifespan. These details make me feel the design is thoughtful, and the operation is smooth without any lag.

What is the normal tire pressure for Hyundai Elantra?

The normal tire pressure range for Hyundai Elantra is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The tire pressure monitoring system data of the Elantra will be displayed on the central screen of the instrument panel. The driving tire pressure monitoring will only be displayed a few minutes after driving. When the vehicle is stationary, selecting the tire pressure monitoring interface via the steering wheel button will display "Drive to Display." When the inflation pressure of one or more tires is significantly insufficient, the low-pressure tire position indicator light will illuminate the corresponding position indicator to show the tire with significantly low inflation pressure. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of tire parts, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible causes: Abnormal tire pressure. Typically, an alarm is triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What brand is the CVT transmission in the 2021 Binrui?

The transmission brand used in the 2021 Binrui is Punch. Punch Powertrain (abbreviated as Punch), headquartered in Sint-Truiden, Belgium, is a supplier of energy-efficient powertrain systems. With over 50 years of experience in the design and production of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), the company also specializes in the development, production, and supply of components for hybrid vehicles (48V and plug-in hybrid PHEV) and dual-clutch transmissions (DCT). The 2021 Binrui manual transmission uses a 6-speed manual gearbox, while the automatic transmission employs a CVT (simulating 8 speeds). A CVT does not have fixed gear ratios; it operates similarly to an automatic transmission but differs in that the gear ratio changes continuously rather than in steps, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For the 2021 Binrui transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged neglect can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating and jerking when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt quick shifts to showcase smooth handling, but this can severely damage transmission gears, leading to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely, reducing climbing power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode for better transmission protection. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N). Never tow it directly using a rope or similar method.

What are the penalty items for the fixed-point parking on the slope in Subject 2?

Penalty items for fixed-point parking on the slope are as follows: After parking, if the right side of the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the roadside line, 10 points will be deducted; if it is more than 50 cm away, 100 points will be deducted; crossing or touching the line will result in a 100-point deduction. After parking, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and the deviation is within 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted; if the deviation exceeds 50 cm, 100 points will be deducted. After parking, if the parking brake is not fully engaged, 10 points will be deducted. Failure to start within 30 seconds will result in a 100-point deduction. Stalling once during startup will result in a 10-point deduction. If the gear is not in neutral or park when starting the engine, 100 points will be deducted. If the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm during startup, 10 points will be deducted; if it rolls back more than 30 cm, 100 points will be deducted. Key points for fixed-point parking on the slope: Upon hearing the instruction for "fixed-point parking on the slope" (approximately 20 meters from the pole), turn on the right turn signal, steer appropriately to the right, and slowly drive the vehicle straight along the right side of the road, paying attention to the distance between the vehicle body and the right-side line. When the vehicle is about 10 meters from the parking pole, approach the target position slowly, accurately, and steadily. Accurately aim at the target, using the parking pole and a specific point on the windshield (or hood) (this point should be determined during practice, as it varies by vehicle model and driver height). When the specific point on the windshield aligns with the parking pole, indicating that the vehicle's bumper is aligned with the pole line, stop immediately.
