C2 test items include reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve). The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. A total score of 80 or above is required to pass the test. If the applicant fails the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, they are allowed one retake. If the applicant does not take the retake or fails the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the applicant fails the fifth scheduled test, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated.

I just passed the automatic transmission Subject 2 driving test, and it's still fresh in my memory. The test mainly consists of five parts. First is reverse parking into a designated spot, where the examiner checks if the car is aligned properly and whether the wheels cross the lines. Next is parallel parking, simulating roadside parking scenarios—you need to quickly reverse by turning the steering wheel, but the narrow space makes it prone to scrapes. During practice, I used reference points to align properly. Then comes hill start and stop: since automatic transmissions don't require clutch operation, you just need to stop smoothly at the designated spot and immediately start again—controlling the brake and accelerator is key. The right-angle turn tests steering flexibility. Finally, curve driving (S-turns) practices continuous turning for balance. Throughout the test, maintain slow speed and frequently check mirrors and car positioning. After passing, I realized these skills are super practical in daily driving, like avoiding reversing into walls or scraping during turns. Practicing reference points saves a lot of hassle. The test isn’t hard, but don’t get careless.

Regarding the content of the automatic transmission subject two exam, let me share that it mainly assesses basic driving control, including several fixed items. The key points are reverse parking, parallel parking, 90-degree turns, and curve driving; the hill start is simplified for automatic transmissions since you don't need to handle the clutch—just stop accurately on the slope and start slowly to prevent rolling back. During the exam, the examiner evaluates whether you cross lines, maintain even speed control, and observe road conditions throughout. For example, reverse parking requires mastering visual reference points, while parallel parking is the most error-prone—turning the wheel too late can easily lead to scraping the edges. I know someone who failed because they were too hasty, so I advise candidates to stay calm and drive slowly for accuracy. More simulated practice can improve muscle memory, and these skills aren't just for the exam—they greatly help with parking safely in real-life driving, ensuring safety comes first.

I recently learned to drive and took the automatic transmission Subject 2 test, which was quite straightforward. It mainly includes reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turns, and S-curve driving. For automatic transmission, you don't need to use the clutch on the hill start section—just stop at the designated point and gently start moving. The key points of the test are controlling the car's position and managing your line of sight, with the speed not exceeding 5 kilometers per hour to avoid mistakes. During practice, I emphasized memorizing reference points, such as using cones to align for reverse parking; for parallel parking, turning the steering wheel must be timely. These tasks are quite challenging but fun for beginners, and with enough practice, you can pass and avoid parking mishaps on the road later.

What does it mean to downshift by two gears?

Downshifting by two gears refers to shifting directly from fifth gear to second gear, but in this case, it fails to successfully decelerate the vehicle and may instead cause the transmission gears to break. Therefore, when performing emergency downshifting, it is necessary to downshift step by step to minimize damage to the vehicle. The relevant details are as follows: Based on road conditions and vehicle speed, control the steering wheel properly, quickly press the accelerator pedal, and shift from a higher gear to a lower gear. Simultaneously, engage the handbrake, but avoid pulling it too tightly or holding it continuously, as this may cause the brake disc to "lock up," damaging the transmission components and losing braking capability. Also, do not pull it too loosely, as this may lead to excessive wear and overheating of the brake disc, resulting in loss of braking function. During the moment of upshifting, the engine speed drops immediately, but the vehicle speed remains unchanged. At the same time, due to the reduced transmission ratio, the torque output from the engine to the wheels also decreases. After completing the upshift, the vehicle accelerates by pressing the accelerator pedal, but due to the reduced torque output, the acceleration is relatively slow. Conversely, during the moment of downshifting, the engine speed rises immediately, but the vehicle speed remains unchanged. Meanwhile, due to the increased transmission ratio, the torque output from the engine to the wheels also increases.

What is the function of tire pressure monitoring?

The function of tire pressure monitoring is to automatically and real-time monitor the tire pressure during vehicle driving, and to alert for tire leakage and low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It uses a wireless transmitter to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically alert. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the speed differences between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. The indirect tire pressure alert system actually relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the pressure. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the above two systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this composite system can reduce costs and overcome the defect of the indirect system not being able to detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like the direct system.

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in the T-ROC?

T-ROC engine warning light may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: Sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors, when damaged, poorly connected, or with interrupted signals, prevent the car's ECU from accurately obtaining engine data, triggering the warning light. Fuel quality issues: Failure to use the fuel and engine oil as specified by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to the warning light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: This can lead to engine carbon deposits or knocking. Detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate. Causes include faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, or clogged fuel lines. Turbocharging issues: Problems with the intake turbocharging pipeline or turbocharger can trigger the warning light. Turbocharger damage is most common, accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, high oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake issues: Blocked engine pipes due to intake problems can cause the warning light to illuminate, especially if the air filter is dirty and not cleaned regularly. Exhaust issues: Faults in the exhaust system, such as rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearing failures, can trigger the warning light. The catalytic converter is most commonly affected by leaded gasoline, certain lubricant additives, physical damage, or fuel system faults. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system fails or the anti-theft controller is incompatible with the engine ECU, the engine may not operate correctly, and the warning light will illuminate. Steps to address the engine warning light: First, check if the engine is running normally, looking for signs like shaking or black smoke. Avoid restarting if these symptoms are present, especially if the light is red. If the engine can start, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position. The car will perform a self-check; observe if the warning light turns off after 5-10 seconds. If the light remains on, visit a service station promptly. Technicians can use a diagnostic tool to read fault codes and perform targeted repairs.

What are the long-term effects after repairing an engine that has taken in water?

After repairing an engine that has taken in water, the long-term effects are as follows: 1. Water immersion: If the vehicle was only immersed in water and then towed to a repair shop (without starting the engine), this generally does not cause irreversible damage to the engine. The main task is to clean the accumulated water inside the engine, but the extent of cleaning depends on the situation. More often, the intake pipe and intake manifold are removed, and compressed air is used to dry the water inside. In this case, there are usually no significant aftereffects. If you are concerned about aftereffects, you can replace all necessary parts. 2. A small amount of water entering the cylinders: In many cases, the owner is unaware that the engine has taken in water, and coincidentally, the amount of water is small (enough to allow the engine to start). If the owner chooses to continue driving at this point, the final consequence could be the piston seizing in the cylinder, with the connecting rod bending or breaking due to the immense pressure. A more severe scenario is the broken connecting rod piercing the cylinder block directly. At this stage, the engine may require major repairs or even be scrapped, and it might leave aftereffects such as shaking, reduced power, and frequent malfunctions. 3. A large amount of water entering the engine cylinders: This might seem the most severe, as the common belief is that more water causes more damage to the engine. However, in reality, when the cylinders are filled with a large amount of water, the engine crankshaft cannot rotate at all. Since water is incompressible, the piston has almost no room to move upward. At this point, even if the ignition switch is turned on, the starter motor cannot rotate, meaning no further damage is caused to the engine. Nevertheless, the engine will likely need major repairs at this stage.
