Wipers not cleaning properly may be due to two reasons: foreign objects between the wiper and the windshield, and wear of the wiper rubber blade. If there are foreign objects between the wiper and the windshield, the wiper will rub and produce abnormal noise when moving back and forth, and the wiper blade area may not be cleaned properly. There may be many fine sand particles on the wiper rubber blade. Wiping water with these fine sand particles is equivalent to using a grinding wheel on the wiper rubber blade, which will cause damage over time, reducing smoothness. As a result, the rough rubber blade cannot clean rainwater properly. Additionally, the wiper blade is usually made of rubber, and prolonged use can cause it to harden. Solutions for wipers not cleaning properly: When the owner finds that the wipers are not cleaning rainwater properly and the wipers emit a sharp noise, they should first check if there are any foreign objects on the wiper blade. If foreign objects are found, they should be promptly removed. If the wiper rubber blade has aged and causes the wiper to not clean properly, it is necessary to replace the wiper rubber blade with a new one in time.

How Many Chances Are There for Subject 4?

Subject 4 is the safety and civilized driving theory test, which does not have a limit on the number of attempts. However, each test session only offers two chances. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it immediately. If both attempts are unsuccessful, you must wait 10 days before scheduling a new test. Although there is no limit on the number of attempts for Subject 4, it must be passed within the three-year validity period of the "Driving Learning Permit." Otherwise, previously passed subject scores will become invalid. Subject 4 Test Content: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Subject 4 Question Types: For the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are proportionally selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank. For car licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 1,240, while for large vehicle licenses, they are drawn from 1,235. Each question is worth 2 points.

Can parallel imported vehicles be financed?

Purchasing a parallel imported vehicle can be financed. Below is relevant information about parallel imported vehicles: 1. Significant price advantage: Parallel imported vehicles bypass sales channels such as general distributors, regional distributors, and 4S stores, eliminating many intermediate links. Additionally, the pricing of parallel imported vehicles by dealers is not restricted by manufacturers, offering greater flexibility, resulting in substantial price discounts. Typically, parallel imported vehicles are priced 10%~20% lower than their China-spec counterparts. 2. Model and delivery time advantage: When new vehicles are launched overseas, they may not be immediately available in China due to manufacturers' strategic planning or domestic certification processes. However, parallel imported vehicles have a natural advantage in this regard—they can be freely purchased overseas and then shipped to China for sale, significantly reducing the waiting time for new models. 3. More diverse model configurations: Another advantage of parallel imported vehicles is the ability to purchase overseas models not available in China. Generally, to align with the Chinese market positioning strategy, manufacturers make certain adjustments and modifications when importing overseas models to China.

Will the horn sound if the motorcycle runs out of battery?

Will the horn sound if the motorcycle runs out of battery? The horn will sound, but the sound will not be loud. The function of the horn: The horn is the audio signal device of the car. During the driving process of the car, the driver issues necessary audio signals as needed and according to regulations to warn pedestrians and attract the attention of other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used to urge movement and transmit signals. How the horn works: The car electric horn produces sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. When the horn switch is pressed, current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force that pulls down the armature and forces the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature disconnects the contacts, interrupting the current and causing the magnetic force of the coil to disappear. The diaphragm, along with the armature, returns to its original position under its own elasticity and the force of the spring plate, closing the contacts again and reconnecting the circuit. Current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force and repeating the above actions. This cycle repeats continuously, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound.

Does Uneven Tire Pressure Affect the Car?

Inconsistent tire pressure values can lead to reduced braking effectiveness, difficulty or heaviness in steering, and increased fuel consumption. Below are detailed guidelines for adjusting car tire pressure: 1. Rough Roads: On roads with significant bumps, it's advisable to slightly reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2bar below the standard tire pressure. For long-distance high-speed driving, tire pressure should not be too low; instead, it's better to increase it by about 0.2bar above the standard tire pressure's lower limit. 2. New vs. Old Tires: For new tires, the pressure can be increased by about 0.2bar above the standard. For old tires, it's appropriate to slightly decrease the pressure according to the standard; if the tires are severely worn, use the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. 3. Summer vs. Winter: In winter, it's recommended to increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar above the standard. In summer, use the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. For cars parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1bar below the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

Do you need to release the accelerator when shifting to S mode?

Shifting to S mode does not require stepping on the brake or releasing the accelerator. P—Parking: Parking gear, starting gear. When the vehicle is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. R—Reverse: Reverse gear. Used when reversing. N—Neutral: Neutral gear. Used when temporarily stopping (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear position indicates neutral. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always keep the brake pedal pressed. D—Drive: Drive gear, also known as the driving gear. As the name suggests, this gear is used for forward movement. L—Low: Low gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting to this gear restricts the car to the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission), allowing the engine to assist in braking. This prevents the driver from having to press the brake for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger.
