The new driving test regulations implement nationwide one-certificate examination for small vehicle driver's licenses and allow cross-regional segmented subject tests for small vehicle driver's licenses. Key policy changes: Relaxed physical requirements - individuals with monocular vision or mild intellectual disabilities can now apply for licenses provided they meet binocular vision standards. Physical disability standards for license applications have also been eased. New restrictions on foreign license conversion - mainland residents holding foreign driver's licenses must have worked continuously for three months in the issuing country/region before applying for Chinese license conversion. Important notes about the new regulations: Subject 1 theory test consists of 100 true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a passing score of 90. Most candidates won't fail due to time constraints on routes, so timing shouldn't be a concern. For reverse parking, the steering principle is 'better early than late' - early corrections allow adjustment room while late corrections may be irreparable.

What does the GF-6 standard mean?

GF-6 is actually an engine oil quality certification standard established by the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC). This standard is largely based on API certification but places greater emphasis on fuel economy, hence it typically uses lower viscosity. GF-6 standard classification: The GF-6 standard is divided into GF-6A and GF-6B. On May 2020, when GF-6A came into effect, it replaced the GF-5 and older standards. Incompatibility with older versions: GF-6 is not compatible with previous older standards and is only recommended for use in new vehicles that require 0W-16 oil, primarily Japanese cars at present. Not recommended for xW-40 viscosity oil: Similar to the GF-5 standard, GF-6A-B does not recommend any xW-40 viscosity oil, mainly due to greater consideration for fuel economy.

What to Do When the Car Battery Dies After Being Parked for a While?

Here are the solutions for dealing with a dead car battery after prolonged parking: 1. Jump-start the car using another battery. You can use jumper cables to start the car with another vehicle's battery. After starting, drive for at least 30 minutes to ensure enough charge for the next ignition. Note that anti-theft systems consume power over time. Vehicles equipped with smart remote anti-theft systems, which use GPS positioning technology, allow owners to trigger alarms via remote control centers in any state. This system continues to operate as long as the battery is connected, leading to higher power consumption and making the battery more prone to complete discharge. 2. Recharge the battery periodically during long-term parking. If the vehicle is parked for an extended period, start it every two to three weeks and let the engine run for 10 to 20 minutes to recharge the battery. Owners should regularly check the battery's condition. Typically, batteries have a status indicator hole: green indicates normal, black means it needs charging, and white signifies the battery is completely discharged and requires replacement.

What to Do When the Roewe ei6 Runs Out of Power?

Detailed solutions for when the Roewe ei6 runs out of power are as follows: 1. Push-start the vehicle. Push-starting is the most familiar and effective emergency starting method, but it should not be used frequently as it can cause some damage to the engine and clutch. Push-starting requires two or more people. 2. Jump-start the vehicle using another car's battery. If you encounter another vehicle with jumper cables, you can use the battery jump-start method. First, bring the two vehicles close enough so that the jumper cables can connect the positive and negative terminals of both batteries. Ensure that the two vehicles do not touch each other, and only use cables with sufficient capacity and insulated sheathing. If the donor battery is inconveniently located in the vehicle, you must use tools to remove it before jump-starting. 3. Tow-start the vehicle. Tow-starting involves using another vehicle to pull the car. When implementing this method, use a tow rope of appropriate length and secure both ends firmly. Before towing, the drivers of both vehicles should agree on communication signals to coordinate their actions.
