For the Subaru Forester, when aligning the timing belt, it is necessary to ensure that the No. 1 piston is at the top dead center of the compression stroke. Below are the specific details of the Subaru Forester: 1. SGP Platform: The Forester adopts the all-new SGP platform, significantly enhancing its safety. The proportion of high-tensile steel plates used has also increased considerably, improving collision safety performance while also being more lightweight. 2.

Driver Monitoring System: The Forester is equipped with Subaru's latest driver monitoring system. When the driver's condition is poor or fatigued, the system can provide alert reminders to prevent accidents.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Reverse Parking?

Normally, it takes about three days to learn reverse parking. Here is some relevant information about reverse parking: Introduction: Reverse parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is one of the key evaluation points in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into a parking space from both sides while in motion. There is a time limit for reverse parking during the test. Types: There are three most common types of reverse parking. The first is the "non"-shaped reverse parking, commonly found in large shopping malls. The second is the roadside "one"-shaped reverse parking, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking. About 70% of driving students find parallel parking more challenging.

How to Upgrade a Dash Cam?

Dash cam upgrade method: 1. Clear the memory card; 2. Save the software to the memory card without changing the name or storing it in a folder, directly save it to the card to ensure it is stored in the root directory; 3. Insert the card, make sure the power is connected, then turn on the device. The screen will not display anything, which is normal. At this time, the indicator lights will keep flashing, indicating that the upgrade is in progress. If the card is pulled out midway, reinsert it and restart the upgrade; 4. After the upgrade process is completed, the device will automatically shut down. At this point, remove the card and delete the software using a computer. Otherwise, the device will keep upgrading every time it is turned on. Additionally, it is particularly important to ensure that the power is connected during the upgrade. If the power runs out halfway through the upgrade, the device will be 'bricked,' meaning it becomes unusable and can only be sent back to the after-sales service for repair.

Should I Wait for the Voice Prompt Before Starting Reverse Parking?

Reverse parking should begin upon hearing the voice prompt. Below are relevant details about reverse parking: Key points of the reverse parking test: Accurately judge the vehicle's position and maneuver it correctly into and out of the garage from both sides by referring to ground markings. During the test, the vehicle must not stop while moving forward or backward. The process involves reversing from one end of the road control line (where the vehicle body crosses the control line) into the garage to park; then moving forward out of the garage, passing the control line at the other end, and reversing back into the garage to park; finally, moving forward out of the garage. Test evaluation criteria: Not following the prescribed route or sequence results in a 100-point deduction; the vehicle body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction; failing to properly reverse into the garage results in a 100-point deduction; stopping midway results in a 100-point deduction.

Will points be deducted for the left front wheel touching the dotted line during parallel parking?

During the parallel parking test in the second subject of the driving test, touching the line with the left wheel will result in a 10-point deduction. Here is some relevant information about parking: Introduction to parking: Parking a car in a compliant, convenient, and safe location requires following certain steps to ensure the safety of the vehicle occupants, the car itself, pedestrians, and other vehicles on the road. Rules for long-term parking: If parking along the roadside in a space aligned with the road direction, try to park as close to the right side as possible, leaving at least half a meter of space at the front and rear of the car. After parking, it is advisable to fold in the rearview mirrors before leaving. If parking in an open-air parking lot, try to choose a spacious parking space on either side of a straight lane, positioning the car with the front facing the driving lane for easier exit. Avoid parking on curves to prevent scratches.

What to Do When a Mercedes Horn Gets Waterlogged and Sounds Muffled?

The best way is to open it up and let it air dry, allowing the water inside to evaporate naturally. Otherwise, prolonged exposure may cause circuit short circuits. Here is some relevant information: 1. Solution: If there isn't too much water inside, remove the horn, drain the water, and then reinstall it. Be careful during reinstallation to avoid losing any parts. Use a hairdryer to heat the horn, causing the water inside to evaporate. Once the water has evaporated, the horn should return to normal. However, if the horn's diaphragm is damaged due to water ingress, the only solution is to replace it. 2. Identifying a Flood-Damaged Car: Look for excessive signs of work on seat covers, carpets, door panels, and other interior parts, as well as uncleaned mud in some hard-to-reach areas. Circuits and wires that have been soaked in water are prone to issues, with copper wires inside the circuits likely to rust and wire insulation showing significant aging.
