Here are some precautions for a new car: Check the vehicle documents: Purchase invoice; vehicle certificate; three-guarantee service card; vehicle user manual; check the nameplate: verify the displacement, manufacturing date, chassis number, engine number, etc. on the nameplate. The numbers on the certificate must match the engine number and chassis number on the car. Interior inspection: Check the cleanliness of all areas inside the car. There should be no dirt, especially in corners and other areas; the seat surfaces should be clean and intact, and they should be comfortable to sit on without feeling any foreign objects inside that might affect comfort; check if all parts of the center console are complete, if the buttons are reliable, and if the surfaces are clean without scratches or stains. If there are sun visors and vanity mirrors, check them as well; inspect the cleanliness of every storage space inside the car and the reliability of opening and closing them.

Why doesn't the tire pressure monitoring system reset after tire repair?

Tire pressure monitoring does not reset after tire repair because the tire pressure system has not been reset. The car recognizes the original tire, so the tire pressure monitoring does not reset. Additionally, it could also be due to improperly installed sensors. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct TPMS: Direct TPMS uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect TPMS: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes that tire's rolling radius to shrink, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect TPMS essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It installs direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires like a direct system.

What is the method for querying vehicle information through the license plate number?

Through the license plate number query vehicle information method is: 1. Go online and click to enter the online vehicle management office; 2. Click to enter the motor vehicle information query; 3. Input the type of license plate and the license plate number of the motor vehicle to be queried; 4. You can determine whether the vehicle needs to be queried by the body color, vehicle brand, driver, or file number. The license plate number is the plate that identifies the vehicle's identity, and its significance to the vehicle is like the ID number to a person. For example, if the license plate is from Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, 'Yue' represents Guangdong Province, 'A' represents Guangzhou City, and 'Yue A' is the license plate code for Guangzhou City.

Must the clutch be pressed when braking to decelerate in Subject Three?

Subject Three requires pressing the clutch when braking. The requirements for vehicle speed are relatively high, and it generally involves high-speed driving. The higher the speed, the greater the inertia. If the clutch is pressed first, the vehicle's inertia will be even greater, potentially leading to the dangerous situation of coasting in neutral. Therefore, when decelerating at high speeds, you should first apply the brake to reduce the speed to a certain level, then press the clutch to downshift and further reduce the speed. The road driving skills test for Subject Three generally includes: 1. Contents: Vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 2. Time: Starting from June 1, 2021, the interval for scheduling the Subject Three test was adjusted from 30 days after passing Subject One to 20 days. For those applying for a medium or large passenger or truck driver's license, the interval for scheduling the Subject Three test was adjusted from 40 days after passing Subject One to 30 days.

Does a Higher Seat Position in Subject 2 Require Earlier Reference Points?

In Subject 2 driving test, a higher seat position requires earlier reference points. When the seat is adjusted higher, each operation should be performed slightly earlier. Conversely, when the seat is lowered, the timing of operations can be slightly delayed. According to the "three-point alignment" principle, these points refer to the driver's eyes, a specific reference point on the vehicle, and the third point where the line connecting these two points projects onto the ground. If the seat height allows better visibility of blind spots beneath the front hood, when aligning the vehicle using a specific reference point, sticking to the original method might actually position the vehicle too far forward, risking crossing the line. Therefore, steering earlier becomes necessary. Conversely, if seated too low, following the original reference point method might leave the vehicle still far from the boundary line, requiring a slight delay in steering operations.

How to Determine Prolonged Occupancy of the Overtaking Lane?

Methods to determine prolonged occupancy of the overtaking lane: using the overtaking lane as a regular driving lane without the purpose of overtaking, thereby hindering other vehicles from overtaking. The overtaking lane on highways is designated for vehicles that are overtaking or meet the required speed standards. However, some drivers occupy this lane for extended periods, forcing other vehicles to overtake from the slower regular driving lanes. Prolonged use of the overtaking lane increases the speed differential with vehicles attempting to overtake, leading to hazardous situations when overtaking from the regular lanes, as it further widens the speed gap with vehicles already traveling there, raising the risk of accidents. The overtaking lane is the leftmost lane on a highway and is only present on highways that meet the standards of a six-lane dual-carriageway.

What does the traffic sign with a question mark and a light bulb mean?

The traffic sign with a question mark and a light bulb is a reminder for drivers not to forget to turn off their headlights after exiting a tunnel. This sign is usually placed at the exit of tunnels on highways. Inside tunnels, the lighting is dim, prompting drivers to turn on their headlights for better visibility. However, many drivers forget to turn them off after exiting the tunnel. This behavior is not only harmful to the vehicle but also poses a safety hazard to other drivers. Hence, such signs are installed to remind drivers to switch off their headlights after leaving the tunnel. When driving on highways, always remember two key points: first, turn off your high beams after exiting the tunnel if you had them on inside, and second, make adjustments to your side and rearview mirrors to minimize the impact of other drivers' high beams on your visibility.
