Subject 3 gear shifting penalty rules state that failure to smoothly shift gears as instructed will result in disqualification, and a mismatch between vehicle speed and gear will incur a 10-point deduction. Below are the specific penalty rules for gear shifting: Gear shifting penalty rules: Starting or driving in the wrong gear without timely correction, deduct 10 points; prolonged mismatch between gear usage and speed, causing excessively high or low engine RPM, deduct 100 points; looking down at the gearshift or failing to engage the gear twice in a row while driving, deduct 100 points; gear clash during shifting, deduct 10 points; failure to smoothly shift up or down as instructed, deduct 100 points; mismatch between vehicle speed and gear, deduct 10 points. Gear and speed matching: When starting the car, use 1st gear to accelerate to around 10 km/h before shifting to 2nd gear. During normal driving, follow the principle of shifting up one gear for every 15 km/h increase in speed. Shift to 3rd gear at speeds above 25 km/h, 4th gear at speeds above 40 km/h, and 5th gear at speeds above 50 km/h. When shifting gears, depress the clutch quickly and fully—press it all the way down in one motion. Gear clashes occur when the clutch is not fully depressed, so ensure the clutch is fully pressed to avoid this issue.

What Are the Types of Manual Transmission Fluid?

Manual transmission fluids come in types such as Dexron, Dexron II, Dexron III, and ATFF. Manual transmission fluid helps keep the gear system clean and lubricates to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. Effects of overfilling manual transmission fluid: 1. Increased internal operating resistance of the transmission, leading to abnormal oil leaks; 2. Agitation of the fluid by rotating components can cause air bubbles; 3. Abnormal oil pressure may lead to air blockages in the control valve's oil drain holes, causing poor drainage; 4. May result in gear shifting shocks. Precautions for changing manual transmission fluid: 1. Choose the appropriate viscosity when changing the fluid to avoid power loss; 2. Do not mix different types of transmission fluids to prevent adverse effects on the vehicle; 3. Avoid using low-quality transmission fluid; 4. Ensure no contaminants are introduced during the fluid change process.

What Are the Solutions When a Car Battery Dies and the Car Won't Start?

When a car battery dies and the car won't start, the solutions are: 1. Push-starting the car manually; 2. Replacing the car battery; 3. Charging the battery; 4. Using jumper cables, ensuring positive connects to positive and negative to negative; 5. Using another vehicle to tow-start the car. The functions of a car battery include: 1. Providing power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system when starting the engine; 2. Supplying power to the car's electrical equipment when the engine is off or at low idle; 3. Assisting in power supply when the electrical demand exceeds the alternator's capacity; 4. Stabilizing voltage to protect the car's electronic devices.

Do You Need to Disconnect the Wires When Charging a Car Battery?

You do not need to disconnect the wires when charging a car battery. Disconnecting the positive and negative terminals of the battery may cause partial data loss in the ECU. Steps for charging a car battery without disconnecting it: 1. Connect the positive terminal of the charger to the positive terminal of the battery; 2. Connect the negative terminal of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery to begin charging. Precautions for charging a car battery: 1. In cold weather, check if the electrolyte is frozen before charging. Do not charge a frozen battery as it may cause an explosion; 2. Before charging, check the electrolyte level. Do not charge if the electrolyte is insufficient; 3. During charging, measure the density and voltage of the electrolyte every hour and monitor the temperature.

What are the methods for repairing car body dents?

Car body dent repair methods are: 1. Clean the dented area of the car with alcohol and a cleaning cloth, and mark the center of the dent; 2. Load special hot melt glue into the glue gun and preheat for 7 minutes after plugging in; 3. Select an appropriate shim and evenly apply hot melt glue from the center to the edges using the glue gun; 4. Quickly attach the shim covered with hot melt glue to the marked dent location until the glue solidifies; 5. Align the hole in the bridge-type repair tool with the firmly attached suction cup screw, tighten the nut after inserting it, and the suction cup will gradually pull up the dent; 6. Remove any residual hot melt glue from the car paint using alcohol and a plastic scraper.
