Here are the specific reasons for the steering wheel noise in Hyundai vehicles: 1. Turn signal return sound: When turning on the turn signal while steering, the noise may come from the rebound clip of the automatic turn signal return mechanism, which is a normal occurrence. 2. Steering column dust cover noise: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be caused by the steering column dust cover. Lack of lubrication in the dust cover can create friction noise. Applying some grease inside the dust cover can resolve this issue. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel: This could be due to the airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel. Removing the steering wheel and applying grease to the clock spring can fix the problem. Note: Disconnect the airbag fuse before removing the steering wheel to prevent accidental airbag deployment. 4. Stabilizer bar noise: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise not only when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims.

Can I Apply the Brake to Slow Down When Pulling Over in Subject Three?

Yes, you can apply the brake to slow down when pulling over in Subject Three. Here are the details: 1. Reason: From a rule perspective, there is no prohibition against using the clutch to control speed, so using the clutch to regulate speed is acceptable. After the pull-over instruction is given, applying the brake counts as stopping, indicating that the examinee has completed the required action, hence the requirement to use the clutch for speed control. 2. Exam Tips: During the Subject Three test, try to avoid prolonged semi-clutch operation, as this can easily cause the engine to stall, leading to test failure. Especially when completing maneuvers like U-turns or pull-overs that require slow speeds, using first gear at idle speed is relatively safer than semi-clutch (semi-engagement). Pulling over is not difficult; it mainly depends on the individual's ability to judge the distance from the side line, and controlling speed with the brake is sufficient.

What is the reason for failing to engage the gear twice consecutively in Subject Three?

Failing to engage the gear twice consecutively in Subject Three may be due to not releasing the hand immediately after shifting but instead pulling the gear again, thus being judged as failing to engage the gear twice consecutively. Below are the specific details: 1. Changing lanes: Before changing lanes, observe and assess the traffic flow behind, beside, and in the lane you intend to change to. After confirming safety, turn on the turn signal, and then check again through the rearview mirror to see if any vehicles are overtaking on both sides of the road. Ensure there is a safe distance allowed in the lane you are about to enter. Without hindering the normal flow of traffic in that lane, smoothly steer into the desired lane and then turn off the turn signal. 2. Gear introduction: Use first gear when pulling over to park. For turns: Use second gear, signal three seconds in advance, and try to keep second gear engaged for no more than 20 seconds. For U-turns: Shift to the opposite fast lane, accelerate, and shift to third gear. When pulling over to park: Do not release the clutch, shift to first gear.

Can You Drive in Second Gear During Subject Three?

You can drive in second gear during Subject Three. Here are the specific details: 1. Reason: There are two segments of straight-line driving. One segment occurs after completing the gear shifting (acceleration and deceleration), during which you must drive in third gear. Except for gear shifting and turning, you must use third gear in all other situations. This is because the total distance driven in first and second gears combined during Subject Three cannot exceed 500 meters. Specifically, you cannot drive continuously in first gear for more than 100 meters or in second gear for more than 200 meters. Therefore, third gear is necessary, maintaining a speed of around 35 km/h. However, during straight-line driving, you must accelerate to 50 km/h for at least two seconds. After completing the gear shifting segment, there are no special requirements for the subsequent straight-line driving segment. 2. Subject Three Test Content: Preparation before starting, simulated lighting test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operation, lane changing, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.

Can I use second gear for a long time in Subject 3?

You cannot use second gear for a long time in Subject 3. Here are the details: 1. Reason: It is not allowed to stay in second gear continuously. After starting in first gear, there will be a prompt indicating 'Start completed'. Once the start is completed, you should immediately shift to second gear. After adding some throttle in second gear and reaching 20 km/h, shift to third gear immediately. Except when making a U-turn where shifting to second gear is necessary, you should shift back to third gear immediately after entering the straight lane. Maintain third gear throughout the drive with a speed between 20-30 km/h. If you drive in second gear continuously, it will be judged as prolonged low-speed driving and considered unqualified. 2. U-turn technique: Before making a U-turn, turn on the left signal, decelerate (to about 5 km/h) or even stop, observe the road conditions carefully, and pay close attention to oncoming traffic (especially vehicles that are farther away but moving fast). Stop and wait if necessary.

Should You Turn Off the Turn Signal Before Stopping and Turning Off the Engine in Subject Three?

In Subject Three, it is not necessary to turn off the turn signal before stopping and turning off the engine. Here are the details: 1. Reason: Generally, after the turn signal is activated, if the steering wheel is turned more than half a circle, the turn signal will automatically turn off once the steering wheel is straightened. However, if the turn signal does not automatically turn off after stopping, do not move it further, as this could be considered by strict examiners as improper use of the turn signal before stopping. 2. Tips for Pulling Over: When you hear the instruction to 'pull over,' first determine the stopping position, then activate the right turn signal and turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right. When the middle of the front of the car aligns with the curb, quickly turn the steering wheel more than 180 degrees to the left. When one-third of the front of the car aligns with the curb, straighten the steering wheel. If the car deviates, always keep one-third of the front aligned and make slight adjustments. When the car body is parallel to the curb and 10 to 30 centimeters away, stop the car.

Should You Brake When Turning at an Intersection in Subject Three?

It is essential to lightly apply the brake when turning in Subject Three. Here are the specific details: 1. Subjects: The test is conducted in the order of Subject One, Subject Two, Subject Three, and Subject Four. 2. Retake: In the driving test, Subjects Two and Three can only be taken five times each. If you fail, you will need to repay the driving school fee. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123 and 124, if you fail the fifth scheduled test for Subject Two or Subject Three road driving skills, all previously passed subject scores will be invalidated. To obtain a driver's license, you must re-enroll and pay the driving school tuition. 3. Driver's License Test: This is an examination to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. The content and passing standards of the test subjects are uniformly set nationwide. The test is divided into four components: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and safe and civilized driving common sense, covering three subjects.
