Learn to adjust, start smoothly, and observe the rearview mirror. Here are detailed explanations of these three techniques: First, learn to adjust. When adjusting, set the seat and rearview mirror according to your height and body type. After getting into the car, adjust the seat and rearview mirror to a comfortable position for smoother operation. 2. Start smoothly: Ensure a steady start, avoiding sudden speed changes. If the speed is too fast, it’s easy to cross the boundary line. Remember, there’s no time limit during the test, so maintaining a slow and steady speed is ideal as long as the car doesn’t stop. 3. Observe the rearview mirror: When reversing into the parking space, use the rearview mirror to judge the vehicle’s position and distance from the boundary line. Therefore, it’s essential to learn how to use the rearview mirror effectively and make accurate judgments during the test.

Recently, several students have asked me about the techniques for passing Subject 2 of the driving test. As an instructor with over a decade of experience, I believe the key lies in slow-speed operation and memorizing reference points. When reversing into the garage, maintain the clutch at half-engagement, keep the speed steady, and focus on the reference points in the rearview mirror. The mantra is: 'Low clutch, steady steering, remember the three-point alignment.' Practice more with simulation cars to build muscle memory, and familiarize yourself with the test environment beforehand—unlike one of my students who panicked and messed up the steering wheel. For the slope parking test, accelerate slightly in advance to stabilize the car; if you make a mistake, pause for 5 seconds and restart. Adjust your seat and rearview mirror angles properly, and bring tissues to clean the mirrors in dim lighting. Stay calm, practice a few more times, and you'll pass. After all, a solid driving foundation ensures future safety.

I just passed my driving test (Subject 2) and want to share my experience! Practiced for half a month beforehand, focusing on delicate clutch control. Key mnemonic: 'Slow speed, scan with eyes, stop precisely at points'. For reverse parking, remember to align with reference points in the rearview mirror; for parallel parking, turn the wheel when tires touch the warehouse corner line. Turn the steering wheel early for right-angle turns; use half-clutch plus foot brake to prevent rollback on slope starts. I was so excited during the test that I almost forgot my ID. Recommend learning from videos and simulating routes with apps. Nervous? Chew gum or take deep breaths to avoid shaky hands. Don't panic over mistakes—examiners allow pauses to regroup. Wear flat shoes for better clutch control; move swiftly in the test area to avoid time penalties.

Young people, don't rush when it comes to driving tests. For Subject 2, the key is 'steady' - remember the mantra: 'Start slow, observe carefully, stop steadily'. Take your time when reversing into the garage, use the rearview mirrors to find the right spot before turning the wheel. For hill starts, brake early and control your speed properly. I've been driving for decades while shuttling my grandson around - solid skills are essential for safe daily parking. Practice more with your family car to develop the feel, don't just rely on the training ground. On test day, wear loose clothes and bring water and snacks to avoid hunger. Don't panic if you make mistakes - retaking is no big deal, safety first is the golden rule.

What is the reason for the unresponsive display of Geely Vision X6?

Geely Vision X6 display unresponsive reasons are as follows: Display settings issue: Generally, there is a camera switch control in the display settings, just turn the switch to "ON". Wiring problem: One of the most common issues with high failure rates. Since the wiring harness for the reversing camera runs from the dashboard all the way to the rear trunk, the long wiring path makes it likely for a loose connection or poor contact at some point, requiring careful inspection. Scratched reversing camera: The surface of most cameras is very fragile, so it is necessary to apply a protective film on the outside of the camera; the quality of the reversing camera is too poor.
