The reasons why the mirrors do not fold when the car is locked are: 1. The vehicle does not have a mirror folding function; 2. The mirror folding function is not enabled; 3. The mirror folding function is damaged. The function of the mirrors is to reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, expanding the driver's field of vision and reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. The method for adjusting the mirrors is: 1. For the left mirror, place the horizontal line at the midline position of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy a quarter of the mirror image; 2. For the right mirror, place the horizontal line at two-thirds of the mirror's position, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy a quarter of the mirror image.

I often hear car enthusiasts complain about this issue. There could be several reasons why the side mirrors don't fold when locking the car. The most common one is incorrect settings—for example, the auto-folding option in the central control system might have been accidentally turned off, so you'll need to go into the settings menu to re-enable it. Another possibility is hardware issues, such as a blown fuse or aging/short-circuited wiring preventing current from reaching the motor. The motor itself could also be stuck, perhaps due to dust jamming the gears. A malfunctioning body control module might also interrupt the signal. Additionally, check the battery—low voltage can cause the system to fail to retain settings. First, try resetting: unlock and then lock the car again, as this can sometimes resolve temporary glitches. If that doesn't work, take it to a professional repair shop immediately—don’t delay, as this issue can be particularly risky when parking at night.

What are the classifications of sedans?

Sedans are classified into four grades: A, B, C, and D. The specific details are as follows: 1. A-Class Cars: Also known as compact cars, A-class cars include even smaller models referred to as subcompact cars, or A0-class cars, such as the Vios, Fit, and Polo. Some compact cars have started to be lengthened, like the Lavida, Lamando, and Corolla, which some media outlets call A+ class cars—a result of market segmentation. 2. B-Class Cars: Also known as midsize cars, examples include the Magotan, Passat, Camry, Accord, BMW 3 Series, and Audi A4. These models typically have a wheelbase of around 2.7 to 2.9 meters and engine displacements ranging from 1.4 to 2.5 liters. At this level, the vehicles already exhibit excellent product performance with few significant drawbacks. Some models even rival C-class or D-class cars in certain attributes. 3. C-Class Cars: Also referred to as executive cars, C-class cars have a wheelbase of approximately 3 meters and engine displacements between 2.0 and 3.0 liters. Common examples include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. These cars are considered luxury vehicles and are often used by large enterprises for business receptions. 4. D-Class Cars: Known as full-size luxury cars, D-class models can be described as nearly perfect. Their wheelbases range from 3.1 to 3.6 meters, and engine displacements vary from 2.0 to 6.6 liters. These high-priced vehicles cater to the upper echelons of society, symbolizing social status. Representative models include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Lexus LS, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce.

Will points be deducted if the handbrake is not released during the Subject 2 driving test?

Points will be deducted if the handbrake is not released during the Subject 2 driving test. During the Subject 2 test, if the vehicle starts moving directly without releasing the handbrake after stopping on the slope during the hill start and stop exercise, 10 points will be deducted. Below is a relevant introduction to the driving test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (Subject 1) is a written test conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100 points. A score of 90 or above (including 90) is required to pass. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test (Subject 2) is conducted in a real vehicle on a closed course. Results are only categorized as pass or fail. The test includes five mandatory exercises performed in sequence: reverse parking, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turns, and hill start and stop. The full score is 100 points, and a score of 80 or above (including 80) is required to pass. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test (Subject 3) is conducted in a real vehicle on the road. The full score is 100 points. For large buses, a score of 90 or above is required to pass; for large trucks, 80 or above; and for other vehicle types, 70 or above. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge test (Subject 4) is a written test with a full score of 100 points. A score of 90 or above (including 90) is required to pass.

What are the precautions and details for the uphill stopping point in Subject 2 driving test?

Precautions and details for the uphill stopping point in Subject 2 driving test are as follows: 1. Main deduction points: This item has a high failure rate, with main deduction points including the 30cm side line, 50cm stopping point, rolling back, stalling, etc. 2. Pay attention to the stopping point: Adjust the direction when entering the slope, observe the 30cm distance between the highest point of the wiper and the side line. While adjusting the 30cm distance, be mindful of the stopping point. Some candidates tend to get distracted during the test, focusing only on adjusting the 30cm distance and neglecting the stopping point. 3. Pay attention to the clutch: When starting the car, slowly release the clutch. When the car shows obvious shaking, keep the clutch steady and release the brake to complete the starting operation. If the car stalls during starting, quickly press the clutch and brake firmly, because once stalling occurs, poor control of the clutch and brake will inevitably cause the car to roll back.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Teana?

There are 6 currently available models of the Teana. Among them, the Teana 2021 2.0L XE Fashion Edition, Teana 2021 2.0L XL Upper AD1 Intelligent Navigation Edition, and Teana 2021 2.0L XL Comfort Edition are equipped with a 156 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100 kilometers. The Teana 2021 2.0T XL Upper AD1 Intelligent Enjoy Navigation Edition and Teana 2021 2.0T XL Intelligent Advance Edition are equipped with a 243 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100 kilometers. The Teana 2021 2.0T XV AD1 Intelligent Premium Navigation Edition is equipped with a 243 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Teana is 61.3L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with the 156 horsepower engine, the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 61.3/5.9*100=1038km. For the 2021 2.0T XL Upper AD1 Intelligent Enjoy Navigation Edition and 2021 2.0T XL Intelligent Advance Edition, the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 61.3/6.6*100=928km. For the 2021 2.0T XV AD1 Intelligent Premium Navigation Edition, the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 61.3/6.7*100=914km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
