Automatic transmission starting and stopping steps are as follows: 1. Turn the ignition key to the power position, allowing the car's computer system to begin self-checking for at least 6 seconds or more. Then, press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N (if reversing, start the engine directly in P gear). 2. Release the foot brake, turn the ignition key to the start position to ignite the engine (determine the warm-up time based on different car models and ambient temperatures, but avoid sudden acceleration and braking under low-temperature conditions). 3. Press the foot brake, release the handbrake, and shift the gear from N to D (if starting on a slope, to prevent rolling back, you can first shift from N to D, lightly press the accelerator, slowly release the handbrake, and then smoothly start). Slowly release the foot brake to start, and then smoothly press the accelerator to speed up according to the road conditions.

What is the compression ratio of a diesel engine?

Diesel engines are not limited by knocking, and their compression ratio generally ranges from 12 to 22. Below is a related introduction: Compression ratio: It indicates the degree to which the gas in the cylinder is compressed when the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center. The compression ratio is one of the important parameters of an engine. To describe the technical parameters of an engine, one can roughly use the power and torque values. However, there are many factors that affect the output of power and torque, one of which is the engine's compression ratio. Minimum working volume of the cylinder: This refers to the total volume above the piston when the piston is at the top dead center, known as the combustion chamber volume, denoted by Vc. The total volume above the piston when the piston is at the bottom dead center, which is the maximum volume of the cylinder, is called the total cylinder volume, denoted by Va, i.e., ε=Va/Vc.

What is the reason why the dashboard of a Volkswagen car does not light up when the small lights are turned on?

The reasons why the dashboard of a Volkswagen car does not light up when the small lights are turned on are as follows: Gear damage: If it is mechanical, it could be due to a broken internal wire or a damaged gear. You can lift the double stand, remove the end of the dashboard wire near the wheel, and then rotate the wheel to see if the gear is rotating to troubleshoot. Micro-adjustment potentiometer damage: If it is electronic, it is mostly due to the damage of the micro-adjustment potentiometer inside the instrument cluster. Replacing it can solve the problem. Of course, it could also be caused by a broken wire. It is recommended to take the car to a repair shop for inspection in such cases.

What is the passing score for the driving license test subject four?

Officially, there is no subject four. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the road driving skills and safety civilization driving knowledge test of subject three requires a score of 90 points to pass. Each wrong answer deducts 2 points, and only 5 mistakes are allowed; more than that results in failure. The full score is 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test question types include image analysis, animation cases, and text descriptions. The scope of subject four test questions includes driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and gestures; knowledge of traffic accident rescue and common hazardous material handling; comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors and case analysis; knowledge of avoiding danger in emergency situations; safe driving knowledge; and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for subject one and four. If the first test of the day is not passed, an on-site retake is allowed. If it still fails, a new appointment is required, and no retake fee is charged. However, it should be noted that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated. Subject four, also known as the subject four theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123, subject three was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety civilization knowledge test, commonly known as "subject four," which evaluates "driving ethics." Subject four is the colloquial name for the safety civilization driving knowledge test of subject three, not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after subject three, it is commonly referred to as the subject four test. In official terms, there is no subject four. The safety civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after subject three. Subject four test precautions: Test time: The test time is 30 minutes. If 12 points (6 questions) are wrong during the test, the test will be terminated. Number of questions: Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding subject four test question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question types: The question types include single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test questions include animation questions, image questions, scenario recognition questions, and text description questions. Retake precautions: If subject four is not passed, only subject four needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. If it is not passed, retakes can continue indefinitely, and no retake fee is required for subject four. There are three subjects in the driving test: subject one, subject two, and subject three. Subject three is divided into two parts. Subject one refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; subject two refers to the field driving skills test; and subject three refers to the road driving skills and safety civilization driving knowledge test.

Are Engine Coolant and Antifreeze the Same Thing?

Engine coolant and antifreeze are the same product, just referred to by two different names. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is composed of water, antifreeze agents, and additives. Based on the different components of antifreeze agents, it can be categorized into alcohol-based, glycerol-based, and ethylene glycol-based. The functions of coolant include: 1. Preventing the coolant from freezing during cold seasons when the vehicle is parked, which could cause the radiator to crack and the engine cylinder block to freeze; 2. Protecting metal components from corrosion and rubber parts from aging; 3. Reducing the formation of scale to avoid clogging the circulation pipes and affecting the cooling system's heat dissipation function; 4. Preventing the engine from overheating, ensuring it operates within the normal working temperature range; 5. Providing lubrication for the water pump thermostat and other components.
