The techniques for aligning reference points when reversing into a parking space are as follows: 1. Entering the S-curve: When entering the S-curve, pay attention to the position of the front of the car, try to keep the outer front wheel close to the right edge of the curve, and drive in 1st gear with half-clutch. Do not stop during the process. While moving forward, also observe the left and right rearview mirrors to keep the car aligned with the S-curve. 2. Turning left: Drive close to the right side. When the left front corner aligns with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left while making slight adjustments to keep the left front corner and the right edge line aligned. This ensures the car follows the S-curve to the left without crossing or leaving the line. After completing the left turn, prepare to turn right. 3. Turning right: When the left front corner gradually passes the right edge line of the left turn, keep the steering wheel steady. Once the right vertex of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, straighten the wheel and move forward slowly for a short distance. 4. Fine adjustments: When the left 1/3 of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right while making slight adjustments to align the right front corner with the left edge line of the right turn. This ensures the car follows the S-curve to the right without crossing or leaving the line. 5. Exiting the curve: When the car exits the S-curve and the front is aligned with the exit, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue forward to leave the curve driving test area.

What does tire specification mean?

The meaning of tire specifications: For example, 205/55R1691V, 205 represents a tire width of 205 millimeters, 55 represents an aspect ratio of 55%, R stands for radial tire, 16 represents a 16-inch diameter wheel rim, 91 represents the load index, and V represents the speed rating. The main functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability, and working together with the car suspension to cushion the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; 3. To prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

What are the reasons for the engine light to come on in the Wuling Hongguang S?

Reasons for the engine light to come on in the Wuling Hongguang S: 1. Poor quality gasoline that does not meet standards: The use of low-quality gasoline from non-standard gas stations can lead to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture during engine operation; 2. Oxygen sensor failure: Damage to the oxygen sensor or its connector, or loosening, can cause the mixture to be too lean or too rich, triggering the warning light; 3. Spark plug carbon deposits: This can result in poor engine performance, including difficulty starting, unstable idling, poor acceleration, and excessive exhaust emissions. The Wuling Hongguang is the first independently developed crossover product between commercial vehicles and passenger cars launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling. The vehicle is equipped with two engines, the PTEC 1.2L and 1.5L DVVT, designed and manufactured according to General Motors' global powertrain standards.

How to Deal with Scratches That Reach the Primer?

Methods to deal with scratches that reach the primer: 1. Fine hairline scratches: Dust and sand particles in the air during high-speed driving can cause fine hairline scratches on the car's paint surface. These can be easily removed using wax containing fine cutting abrasives. 2. Light scratches: Gently dragging a key across the car body will leave a noticeable mark, damaging the transparent layer of the paint. Such light scratches can be repaired using fine abrasive wax. 3. Moderate scratches: These penetrate the clear coat and color coat but do not reach the primer layer. Such scratches are usually caused by sharp objects. Apply a deep abrasive compound to the scratch, and through the friction between the polishing pad and the paint surface, heat is generated. The abrasive softens the paint around the moderate scratch and fills the scratch with the cut paint. 4. Deep scratches: These penetrate the clear coat, color coat, and primer, exposing the inner surface of the car body. Such scratches can only be resolved by repainting.

How to Prevent Accidents When Driving in the Rain?

Methods to prevent accidents when driving in the rain: 1. Pay attention to the roadside: Roads are higher in the middle and lower on the sides to facilitate drainage during rain, which can lead to water accumulation. When braking, if one wheel is in water and the other is on dry ground, the imbalance in friction can cause skidding or fishtailing. Maintain a safe distance and avoid sudden braking. 2. Turn on your headlights: Rainy days are often gloomy. Turning on your lights is not just to see the road ahead but also to ensure the vehicle in front can see you in their rearview mirror. 3. Replace your windshield wipers: Clear visibility is the primary guarantee of safe driving. In heavy rain, if the wipers cannot clear the windshield effectively, the likelihood of accidents increases significantly. 4. Follow other cars when unfamiliar with road conditions: If you encounter unfamiliar road sections with water accumulation, pull over and let the cars behind pass first, then follow the path taken by the vehicle ahead.

Should You Press the Clutch When Shifting Gears in Subject Three?

In Subject Three, you should press the clutch when shifting gears because the engine output shaft needs to engage with the next gear in the transmission. If the engine output shaft is not disconnected from the transmission input shaft during gear shifting, the transition between the two sets of gears cannot be completed, and the gear lever cannot be moved to the next position. Forcing a gear shift may break the gear lever and damage the gears in the transmission. Different gears have different matching points, and it is difficult to match them without pressing the clutch. Generally, manual transmissions have a protection mechanism—forcing a gear shift will not work, and you will hear the sound of metal grinding. Subject Three regulations stipulate that the clutch should not be pressed continuously for more than 10 seconds (5 seconds in some provinces and cities), meaning the time spent pressing the clutch before and after shifting should not be too long.
