Precautions for driving during the car break-in period include: 1. Maintain smooth starts, avoid sudden acceleration, and do not let the engine speed get too high; 2. Before starting, ensure the water temperature reaches at least 50 degrees Celsius, start in a low gear, and shift to a higher gear after 1 kilometer; 3. Shift gears promptly while driving, avoid prolonged use of a single gear, and do not drive at low speeds in high gears or at high speeds in low gears; 4. Choose good road surfaces to avoid vibrations and collisions, and disengage the clutch before braking; 5. Use high-quality fuel and engine oil, and avoid using engine wear-resistant additives. The break-in period refers to the initial driving distance after a new car leaves the factory to allow the engine components to wear in smoothly.

What is Subject 4 Called?

Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 Theory Test or Driver Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and civics knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is traditionally called the Subject 4 test. Below is an introduction to the other driving test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Subject 1 refers to the driver theory test, conducted at the vehicle management office, which is a mandatory licensing exam for driver's license applicants. The test content includes the most fundamental knowledge such as driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, as well as local regulations. The scheduling of the driver theory test is arranged independently by local vehicle management offices. The Subject 1 test content includes: road usage, traffic signals, handling of traffic safety violations and accidents, application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration regulations, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. 2. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated name for the field driving skills test. The Subject 2 test items include: reverse parking into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, curve driving, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory items: reverse parking into a garage, right-angle turns, parallel parking, tunnel driving, stopping to take a card, curve driving, U-turns on narrow roads, emergency stops, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civics driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safety and civics driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's exam. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. The basic items of Subject 3 include: vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.

How to Fold the Rearview Mirrors on the Tayron?

The buttons for adjusting and folding the exterior rearview mirrors on the Tayron are located near the door handle. Below is relevant information about rearview mirrors: 1. Types: interior rearview mirror, exterior rearview mirror, and downward-view mirror. 2. Structural Principle: Rearview mirrors involve a field of view, which refers to the range that the mirror surface can reflect. The industry mentions three key elements of the field of view: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror, the size of the rearview mirror, and the curvature radius of the mirror. These three elements are interrelated. When the distance and size of the rearview mirror are the same, a smaller curvature radius of the mirror surface results in a larger reflected field of view. When the curvature radius is the same, a larger mirror size provides a broader reflected field of view. Additionally, rearview mirrors have a reflectivity index. Higher reflectivity means clearer images reflected by the mirror. The level of reflectivity depends on the reflective coating material on the inner surface of the mirror. As the speed of general cars increases, wind resistance and noise become critical considerations for designers. Therefore, the exterior rearview mirror's contour must adhere to aerodynamic principles, using smooth lines to minimize wind resistance and noise.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Hyundai Fista?

The minimum ground clearance of the Hyundai Fista is 150mm. The minimum ground clearance of the Hyundai Fista refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance for the Hyundai Fista improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability during high-speed driving may decrease. The Beijing Hyundai Fista is positioned as a compact car, with a length, width, and height of 4660mm, 1790mm, and 1425mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the ground clearance of the Hyundai Fista is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on variations in the vehicle's load. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance may enhance stability and comfort. If the vehicle is frequently used in rural areas or on rough terrains, a higher ground clearance is advisable to improve off-road performance and avoid damage to the undercarriage.
