A square box with an exclamation mark inside indicates a vehicle fault, which is a common fault warning light. Common vehicle warning lights include: 1. Engine: The engine fails to start, mainly due to reasons such as checking whether the distributor, spark plugs, and high-voltage lines are dampened by rain or car washing. Check whether the battery voltage is sufficient. 2. Gear shifting: The vehicle stalls during gear shifting, mainly due to reasons such as the engine idle speed being too low; the idle cutoff valve not being tightened properly, or the plug falling off. 3. Steering wheel: The steering wheel shakes while driving, mainly due to reasons such as whether there are mud, stones, or other debris stuck on the vehicle tires; the tires being deformed after impact or the wheel balance weights falling off; or not performing a four-wheel alignment after replacing the tires.

Can a Temporary ID Card Be Used for Subject 4 Exam?

Temporary ID cards can be used for the Subject 4 exam because they hold the same legal validity as permanent ID cards. Simply visit any public security bureau, present your household registration booklet and a recent one-inch black-and-white photo without a hat, pay a processing fee of 10 RMB, and you can obtain a temporary ID card on the same day. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, primarily presented in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civics knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is colloquially called the Subject 4 exam. Officially, however, there is no such term as Subject 4. If you fail the Subject 4 exam, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own without any additional fees. There are no restrictions on the number of retakes, but the driving skills test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant fails to complete all exams within this period, the results of any passed subjects will become void.

How to Use the Reversing Camera for Backing Up?

Reversing camera details are as follows: Red line: indicates the warning line, 30cm from the rear of the vehicle. When the vehicle approaches this line, the parking space is just right, and no further reversing is needed; Yellow line: indicates the deceleration line, 60cm from the rear of the vehicle. You can continue to reverse, but pay attention to decelerating and checking the distance; Green line: indicates the normal safety line, where the distance between the obstacle and the rear of the vehicle is large, and you can reverse with confidence. Note: Before reversing, check the situation behind the vehicle, estimate the reversing route, and ensure that the front of the vehicle will not hit any obstacles during the process. Try not to accelerate while reversing and control the speed.

Do You Need to Observe the Left-Turn Red Light When Making a U-Turn?

When making a U-turn, vehicles must observe the left-turn traffic signal and can only proceed when the left-turn signal is green. Motor vehicles are permitted to make U-turns at locations without prohibitive signs or markings against U-turns or left turns, provided they do not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Additional information: According to Article 38 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic signals indicate: 1. When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians that have been given the right of way. 2. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 3. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding.

What does the road marking 100 mean?

Road marking 100 indicates a speed limit of 100 km/h. White numbers on the ground represent the minimum speed limit, while yellow numbers indicate the maximum speed limit. Additional details are as follows: Speed limit: Typically refers to the maximum speed limit, which is generally set to prevent drivers from speeding and causing safety hazards. On highways and expressways, there are also minimum speed limit signs. Since vehicles normally travel at high speeds on highways and expressways, if some vehicles move too slowly, they can become moving obstacles on the road and easily lead to rear-end collisions. Therefore, highways and expressways have minimum speed limits, and usually, the minimum speed limit in the left lane is higher than that in the right lane. During traffic congestion, the minimum speed limit regulations are temporarily not enforced. The minimum speed limit on highways is generally 60 km/h.

What is the difference between base and high-end configurations?

The base and high-end configurations of a car have no difference in basic equipment, but differ in some additional features. 1. Base configuration: Meets the most basic needs with the lowest and simplest setup, resulting in a lower price, but lacks auxiliary functions. 2. High-end configuration: The top-tier setup of the same model, featuring additional auxiliary functions such as a panoramic sunroof, cruise control, power-closing doors, ABS anti-lock braking system, etc. The differences are often visible in appearance as well, such as the wheels, tires, and emblems. Additional information: 1. ABS anti-lock braking system: When the wheel is about to reach the next lock point, the brake fluid pressure causes the system to repeatedly engage, similar to continuously braking and releasing, resembling mechanical intermittent braking. 2. Cruise control: This device allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed without the driver needing to press the accelerator pedal, enabling the car to travel at a constant speed as desired by the driver.
