Jerking during acceleration can be either normal or indicative of vehicle malfunctions that require prompt diagnosis. Normal causes of acceleration jerking include: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, operating in semi-clutch state may cause jerking during throttle application or release - the harder the throttle is pressed, the more pronounced the jerk. 2. For automatic transmission vehicles, mild jerking may occur during upshifting, with more noticeable sensations during forced downshifting followed by upshifting under heavy throttle. Abnormal causes of acceleration jerking include: 1. Severe carbon buildup in throttle body, fuel injectors, or intake manifold. 2. Substandard fuel quality leading to incomplete combustion. 3. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils causing cylinder misfires.

What does the appearance of a car shape on the car screen mean?

If it flashes while driving, it indicates that there is a door that is not properly closed; if the indicator light remains on, it means there is a malfunction in the anti-theft system. The flashing red car symbol on the dashboard indicates that the car's anti-theft system is active. After the car is turned off and locked, a red car-shaped indicator light on the dashboard flashes once every one to two seconds, which is normal and indicates that the car has entered the anti-theft state. The anti-theft system indicator light is a relatively common one on the dashboard. In addition, the more common indicator lights include the following: Engine overheating: The dashboard warning light does not display the water level in the radiator, only the temperature. Once the engine temperature warning light comes on, it means there is insufficient coolant in the radiator; Low tire pressure: The car has electronic components that monitor the tires. If a tire is leaking or has insufficient pressure, the information will be transmitted to the alarm system; Low engine oil: Insufficient engine oil can affect the operation between car components. Without proper lubrication, wear and tear will increase, and damage may even occur. If the oil pressure is insufficient, the alarm system will alert the driver.

What is the priority criterion for Subject 2?

Subject 2 exam appointment priority is determined by the scheduling time. Generally, there are three scenarios: First-time appointment: For students scheduling the Subject 2 exam for the first time, the scheduling time is based on the date they passed the Subject 1 exam. Non-first-time appointment: For students rescheduling the Subject 2 exam, the scheduling time is based on their last exam date. Cancelled appointment: If a student cancels a successfully booked exam due to personal reasons, the scheduling time is based on the cancellation date. According to these scheduling time rules, earlier dates receive higher priority. For students with identical scheduling times, the system typically prioritizes those who booked their appointments earlier.

What is the time standard for reversing into the garage in Subject 2?

There is a time limit for reversing into the garage in Subject 2, which is 210 seconds. Below are the detailed criteria: Evaluation standards: Failing to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle going out of bounds, failing to reverse into the garage, or stopping midway also leads to disqualification; not completing the reversing into the garage within 210 seconds results in disqualification. Test content: Reverse from starting point A into garage B and park correctly; move forward to the return area C and stop steadily; reverse from the return area into garage B and stop steadily; return from garage B to A to complete the test. Test content: The five test items—reversing into the garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, and driving on a curve—must all be passed in one attempt to qualify. Some regions may have additional test items. Two test attempts: The first test and a make-up test; if the first test is failed, a make-up test is conducted immediately; if the make-up test is also failed, a re-examination can be scheduled after 10 days.

Will Changing Lanes and Crossing the Line at Traffic Lights Definitely Be Captured?

Yes. Traffic light intersections have electronic traffic police that operate 24/7 for continuous monitoring. Generally, they can only capture violations in front of the camera, such as running a red light, crossing the line in front of the camera, or poor driving behavior in the middle of the intersection. However, the cameras on the opposite lanes are specifically designed to capture violations like crossing solid lines on their respective lanes. Therefore, no matter where you drive, always follow traffic rules and avoid trying to cut corners. Photography Principle: The lane-changing solid line crossing photography system uses ground-pressure magnetic induction coils. When the front wheels of a vehicle cross the induction coil on the ground, the system captures the first photo. When the rear wheels cross the induction coil, the second photo is taken. When the vehicle passes through the intersection and crosses the induction coil on the opposite side, the third photo is captured.

Must a new energy vehicle be owned for at least three years before it can be sold?

Government policies vary by region, and there are corresponding restrictions on the transfer time of new energy vehicles. Here are the detailed regulations: Shanghai: The new energy vehicle license plate must be used for at least three years from the date of activation before it can be transferred or re-registered; furthermore, if the owner already has a new energy vehicle license plate, they cannot purchase another new energy vehicle even after transferring the current one. Shenzhen: A new energy vehicle registered in Shenzhen can be transferred within the city one month after registration, but the transfer must meet Shenzhen's requirements for new energy vehicle indicators; if the vehicle is to be transferred out of the city, it must have been used for at least two years from the date of license plate activation before it can be transferred out.

How Many Kilometers Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced?

Generally, the replacement cycle for brake fluid is every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, but it is still necessary to refer to the cycle specified in the user manual, as not all vehicle models have the same requirements. Below are the detailed guidelines: Moisture Content: The replacement cycle is only a reference. To determine whether the brake fluid needs to be replaced, check its moisture content. Excessive moisture not only affects the stability of the brake fluid, leading to potential braking failure during continuous braking but may also cause vapor lock, reducing braking effectiveness. Method to Check Moisture Content: Prepare a brake fluid moisture tester, open the brake fluid reservoir cap, and insert the tester directly to measure. When the measurement result exceeds 3%, it is time to replace the brake fluid. If the reading exceeds 5%, it must be replaced as soon as possible, as the brake fluid may have already deteriorated.
