After starting in first gear, appropriately press the accelerator to speed up before shifting gears. Accelerate to 15~20 km/h to shift into second gear. Press the clutch pedal, move the gear lever to the neutral position, then release the clutch pedal. After releasing, press the clutch pedal again. Then slowly release the clutch while gradually pressing the accelerator pedal to increase speed smoothly. The same method applies when shifting to higher gears. Release the accelerator pedal, press the clutch pedal, push the gear lever into neutral, then release the clutch pedal. Then lightly press the accelerator to increase engine speed, press the clutch pedal again, and push the gear lever into a lower gear.

I always enjoy teaching newcomers the gear shifting operations in Subject 3, as it's crucial for passing the exam. The first step is to enter a straight road after starting, maintaining a steady speed around 20 km/h in preparation for upshifting. When upshifting, press the clutch pedal all the way down while gently accelerating to increase speed. Once the speed reaches about 30 km/h, quickly shift to third gear, and release the clutch smoothly without being too hasty. For downshifting, first apply the brakes to reduce speed below 20 km/h, then press the clutch to shift back to second gear, releasing the clutch steadily. Throughout the process, avoid looking down at the gear lever or trembling nervously from tension. I emphasize practicing more on empty roads to get familiar with the feeling. During the exam, stay calm and don’t rush. Even if the engine stalls, don’t panic—just restart. These steps may seem simple, but they can prevent jerks and accidents in real driving.

Should car tires be replaced after five years of use?

Tires that have been in use for 5 years should be replaced promptly. The longer the tires are used, the higher the risk of tread deformation and blowouts. Tires are rubber products. When exposed to air for extended periods, especially in contact with air and sunlight, they gradually age, leading to a decline in performance and a sharp increase in the likelihood of blowouts. To extend the service life of tires, it is recommended to rotate the front and rear tires every 10,000-20,000 kilometers. Generally, front tires wear out more severely than rear tires. Rotating them ensures more even wear and prevents excessive wear on the front tires, which could render them unusable. When rotating the tires, it is also advisable to perform a four-wheel alignment and tire dynamic balancing. This helps prevent uneven tire wear that may necessitate premature replacement. Four-wheel alignment adjusts the suspension parameters to ensure the wheels are aligned straight forward, while dynamic balancing uses counterweights to ensure the weight distribution of the entire wheel is balanced. Before driving, always check the tire pressure—neither too high nor too low. Generally, maintain it around 2.2-2.5 Bar. In winter, due to the effects of thermal contraction, tire pressure tends to drop as temperatures decrease. It is recommended to inflate the tires appropriately during colder months.

Which year was the Haojue 125-2 old model produced?

The Haojue 125-2 old model was produced between July 2010 and July 2019. Below are some relevant introductions about motorcycle riding: Cooling before washing: Always let the hot engine cool down before washing. Suddenly rinsing the engine, exhaust pipe, and other components with cold water can damage the oil seals in various parts due to thermal expansion and contraction, leading to engine oil leakage. Many motorcycle enthusiasts experience slight engine oil leakage due to this reason. It can also cause the chrome plating at the connection between the exhaust pipe and the engine to peel off, oxidize, and rust. Wipe cleaning: It is best not to directly rinse areas such as the headlight, left and right handrails, ignition switch, exhaust pipe outlet (it's better to block it with something), horn, spark plug, air filter, and battery with water. These areas contain circuits, and getting them wet can cause short circuits or leakage, resulting in issues like non-functioning lights, unresponsive horn, failure to start, and weak performance. It is recommended to use a cloth for wiping. Drying with a cloth: After washing the motorcycle, the entire vehicle should be dried with a dry cloth, especially areas like the ignition switch, instrument panel, left and right handrails, spark plug, and fuel tank cap. Special attention should be paid to removing the spark plug cap and shaking it a few times to remove any water inside the sleeve, as it may affect ignition.

What does abs001 mean?

ABS is an anti-lock braking system in vehicles. The following is a related introduction to the vehicle anti-lock braking system ABS: Function of ABS: ABS has a self-diagnostic function that can monitor the working condition of the system. Once a fault is detected that affects the normal operation of the system, it will automatically turn off the ABS, light up the ABS warning light, and send a warning signal to the driver. Role of ABS: The role of ABS is to control the braking force during heavy braking, allowing the vehicle to maintain steering capability even under heavy braking. If this warning light appears, the fault must be resolved by a professional before it can be eliminated.

Is the difference between 95W and 95Y tires significant?

The preceding number indicates the load index, while the following letter denotes the speed rating. Here are the relevant details: W represents a designed maximum speed of 270 km/h. Y is designed for a speed of 300 km/h. Load index: The load index and maximum load capacity of each tire are molded on the sidewall. 95 corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 690 kg per tire. 95 indicates that the maximum load for a single tire is 690 kilograms. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire pressure is a crucial factor affecting tire lifespan. Avoid overinflation or underinflation; always inflate according to the vehicle's indicated tire pressure.

How often should Evans Waterless Coolant be replaced?

Determining whether coolant has deteriorated is not simply a matter of observing color changes with the naked eye or estimating based on time. The correct method requires professional instrument measurement, which is generally available at authorized 4S shops or auto repair shops. Below are the relevant steps: Check for leaks: Open the cooled engine cover and first inspect the cooling system pipelines, joints, etc., for any signs of leakage, and clean the relevant parts. Drain and clean: Drain the existing water or water-based coolant from the radiator into a shallow basin or bucket, observing whether it is clear, transparent, and free of impurities. If it is generally acceptable, rinse the cooling system twice with clean water.

Can ABS Cause Side Slip When Steering During Emergency Braking?

ABS does not cause side slip when steering during emergency braking. This is because ABS prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, allowing the vehicle to maintain good directional stability even under hard braking. How ABS Works: During braking, ABS quickly determines the wheel lock-up status based on speed signals from each wheel speed sensor. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve for wheels that begin to lock, keeping the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve opens, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to drop rapidly as it connects directly to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing complete wheel lock-up due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (20% slip ratio S), achieving the best braking performance and maximum driving safety. Functions of ABS: Maximizes brake efficiency, reducing braking time and distance. Effectively prevents vehicle side slip and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring excellent driving stability. Allows steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control. Avoids severe friction between tires and the road surface, reducing tire wear.
