A-segment, B-segment, and C-segment cars are classification standards for automobiles. According to the German car classification system, A-segment cars (including A0 and A00) refer to small cars, B-segment cars are mid-range sedans, and C-segment cars are luxury sedans. The classification is primarily based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the level of luxury in the car. Details are as follows: 1. A-segment: Small cars with a wheelbase between 2.3 to 2.45 meters and an engine displacement of approximately 1.3 to 1.6 liters. 2. B-segment: Mid-range sedans with a wheelbase of about 2.45 to 2.6 meters and an engine displacement ranging from 1.6 to 2.4 liters. 3. C-segment: Luxury sedans with a wheelbase of about 2.6 to 2.8 meters and an engine displacement of 2.3 to 3.0 liters.

How to Solve the Gearbox Jerking Issue in Ford Mondeo?

Check whether the jerking occurs in a specific gear or during all gear shifts. Because the transmission's response speed is not fast enough, the upshift speed cannot keep up with the throttle input, resulting in a jerking sensation at the moment of gear shifting. When driving at low speeds, the gear frequently shifts between first and second gears, and the clutch continuously engages and disengages, making it difficult to smoothly transmit power in a short time.

How many points are deducted for touching the line during reverse parking?

Touching the line with the car body means the car body is out of line, which results in a deduction of 100 points, making the test unsuccessful. Crossing the line, not parking in the designated area, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route, not following the sequence, or exceeding the time limit will also result in a deduction of 100 points. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deduction of 20 points, deduction of 10 points, and deduction of 5 points. The rules for the Subject 2 test of the motor vehicle driver's license application state that stopping midway, rolling back, or not following the voice prompts during the test will result in failure. Wheels or the car body touching the line will also result in failure. Many students encounter the issue of touching the line during Subject 2 learning, and the most common mistake leading to failure is "touching the line." The main reason for wheels touching the line is that students fail to master the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right timing, another reason could be that the steering speed does not match the car speed. Subject 2 deduction standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: deduct 100 points. Not using the turn signal (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, and parking); using the turn signal for less than three seconds (note that this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: deduct 10 points. Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: deduct 100 points. Car body out of line: deduct 100 points. Not completing the parking: deduct 100 points. Before reversing, if the two front wheels do not pass the control line: deduct 100 points. Exceeding 210 seconds to complete the task: deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not on the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper is not on the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: deduct 10 points. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: deduct 100 points. Wheels touching the road edge while driving: deduct 100 points. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the car body is more than 50 cm away from the road edge: deduct 100 points. After parking, if the parking brake is not tightened: deduct 10 points each time. After stopping, if the car body is more than 30 cm but not more than 50 cm away from the road edge: deduct 10 points each time. Rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm when starting: deduct 5 points each time. Parallel parking: After parking, if the car body is out of line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when parking: deduct 10 points. Exceeding 90 seconds to complete the task: deduct 100 points. Touching the parking space edge with the car body while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Wheels touching the lane edge while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. 90-degree turn: Wheels touching the road edge: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal during the turn, or not turning off the turn signal after the turn: deduct 10 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. Curve driving: Wheels touching the road edge: deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 100 points. Not driving in second gear or above: deduct 5 points.

Where is the Jetta's drain plug located?

The Jetta's drain plug is located at the lower left edge of the differential housing, which is a 17mm hex socket screw. The oil filler port is positioned at the middle right side of the differential housing, also a 17mm hex socket screw. Fuel tank maintenance: Mainly conducted during the vehicle's primary maintenance, it involves draining accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and checking for oil leaks at pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, ensure their vent holes are unobstructed. The filler neck's filter screen should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. Precautions: Vehicle fuel tanks should generally be cleaned every three months. Excessive sediment in the tank can lead to large amounts of contaminants entering the fuel lines, accelerating filter clogging and wear on precision components, affecting engine performance. Regular removal of tank sediment and maintaining internal cleanliness are essential.
