The reasons for the little person icon appearing on the dashboard include not wearing a seatbelt, engine coolant temperature warning light, brake fault light, and tire pressure warning light. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light: When this light comes on, it indicates that the engine temperature is too high. Continuing to drive will cause the coolant temperature to rise further, leading to engine damage. In severe cases, it may even cause engine deformation, potentially resulting in traffic accidents due to engine failure. Brake Fault Light: The braking system is crucial for driving safety. When the brake fault light illuminates, you should immediately stop and inspect the vehicle. First, check if the handbrake is fully released—if it's partially engaged, this light may also come on. If the handbrake is completely released, it indicates a fault in the braking system, and you must take the car to a repair shop immediately for inspection and maintenance. Tire Pressure Warning Light: The tire pressure condition is equally important for driving safety. Both over-inflation and under-inflation pose safety hazards. When the tire pressure warning light comes on, you should immediately stop the car, check the tire conditions, and replace any problematic tires promptly.

What is the distance for driving straight in Subject 3?

There is no fixed distance for driving straight in Subject 3, but it is generally around 100 meters. The methods to maintain a straight line in Subject 3 are as follows: 1. Choose a fixed reference point: Looking further ahead can help maintain a straight line. You can find a fixed point on the road ahead, which could be an object or a sign, and follow it with your gaze while driving. 2. Maintain a suitable speed: Drive at a constant speed according to local requirements, avoiding significant acceleration or deceleration. 3. Adjust the steering wheel: Remember to make "minor adjustments" only, as the straight driving section is highly sensitive to steering wheel angles. 4. Keep hands and feet relaxed: Arms should be relaxed to control the steering wheel flexibly, and legs should be natural to maintain a constant speed. 5. Be familiar with gear shifting: Memorize the instructor's guidance on "which speed corresponds to which gear." Daily practice should help develop muscle memory so that you can shift gears naturally. 6. Maintain a good mindset: A relaxed mindset leads to flexible hands and feet, and a clear mind enables better performance.

How to Adjust Overly Advanced Ignition Timing?

Adjusting the ignition timing involves calibrating and correcting the ignition moment when installing the distributor onto the engine, ensuring the high-voltage spark from the ignition system ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder precisely. During engine operation, loosen the distributor's fixing screw. If ignition occurs too early, rotate the distributor housing in the direction of the distributor shaft rotation; if ignition is too late, rotate the housing in the opposite direction. When adjusting the ignition advance angle, perform the following checks: 1. On-vehicle ignition timing check: With the engine at normal operating temperature (70~80°C) and idling, suddenly accelerate. If the engine speed increases rapidly accompanied by brief and slight detonation (mild knock) that quickly disappears, the ignition timing is accurate. If the engine speed does not increase with throttle opening, the engine feels sluggish, and the exhaust emits a "popping" sound, ignition is too late. If the engine produces severe metallic knocking, i.e., detonation (knocking), ignition is too early. 2. Using an ignition timing light: Locate and verify the top dead center (TDC) mark for cylinder 1 at the end of compression and the ignition advance angle mark on the flywheel or front crankshaft pulley. Clean these marks to ensure visibility. If marks are unclear, highlight them with chalk or paint for better identification.

What vehicle components should be checked before driving on the highway?

Here is a detailed introduction to the components that should be checked before driving on the highway: 1. Check tire pressure: Insufficient tire pressure can easily lead to a blowout. 2. Check engine oil: It is necessary to check the engine oil in the engine compartment when the vehicle is in a cold state. After the engine cools down, pull out the oil dipstick. The oil level should be within the minimum upper limit/maximum upper limit range on the dipstick, and should not exceed the marked interval. 3. Brake fluid check: The brake fluid in the engine compartment has a special marking. Brake fluid is usually located at the top of the engine compartment. Brake fluid has excellent water absorption properties. If the water content is too high for a long time, it can cause the brake fluid to overheat, leading to brake fade.

How Many Kilometers Should a Truck's Wheel Hubs Be Maintained?

The manufacturer recommends maintenance every 20,000 kilometers. As long as the brakes do not return properly and the vehicle does not slide on slopes, maintenance is required, regardless of the specific mileage. Vehicle inspection items are as follows: 1. Tires: Check tire condition/wear and adjust pressure if necessary; 2. Lights: Inspect the working condition of the lighting system (headlights, indicator lights, emergency signal lights, trunk lights, passenger compartment lights, glove box lights, dashboard warning lights, etc.); 3. Washing Equipment: Check the working condition of the windshield wipers and washing equipment/inspect wiper blade position/wear; 4. Exterior Body: Visually inspect the exterior body, underbody protective components, pipes/hoses (exhaust---fuel lines---brake lines), and the condition of rubber components (dust covers, bushings, spacers, etc.).
