What does coasting in neutral mean in Subject 2?

Coasting in neutral in Subject 2 refers to the driving technique where the driver places the gear lever in the neutral position while the vehicle is in motion, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, allowing the vehicle to move by inertia. During the test, coasting in neutral can occur in two scenarios: first, when the clutch is depressed but the gear is not engaged, releasing the clutch results in coasting in neutral; second, when the clutch is depressed and the gear is engaged but not released promptly, it also constitutes coasting in neutral. Coasting in neutral can easily cause the vehicle to stall, damage the engine, and without the assistance of engine braking, it may lead to loss of vehicle balance, posing safety risks as the driver may lose control. Therefore, coasting in neutral is not recommended. If it must be done, ensure safety and that the vehicle's technical condition is normal, especially avoiding stalling or coasting in neutral on steep or long descents. When the vehicle is in neutral and disengaged from the drivetrain, it only maintains a fixed idle fuel consumption without disengagement. Additional throttle input is needed; otherwise, mismatched speed and gear can cause the vehicle to shake and stall. Additionally, fuel-injected vehicles have a computer-controlled fuel injection system that operates automatically based on sensors within the engine, making the idle speed non-adjustable.

What are the requirements for a driver's license photo?

You cannot wear fancy clothes for the photo, your eyebrows must not be covered, and all facial features must be visible. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as the "driver's license," which is the certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. The requirements for driver's license photos are as follows: 1. One-inch color photo with a white background; hair must not cover the ears or eyebrows, and no jewelry is allowed; 2. If you normally wear glasses, you must wear them for the photo (contact lenses are acceptable), and you should wear non-white clothing; 3. If you are taking the photo at an external photo studio, you need to inform the photographer that it is for a driver's license photo.

Can turbocharged cars use 92 octane gasoline?

Turbocharged cars can use 92 octane gasoline, but it depends on the brand and model of the car. Generally, the recommended gasoline grade is indicated on the back of the fuel tank cap or in the car's manual. Here is an introduction to turbocharged engines: 1. A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. 2. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it before it enters the cylinder. 3. When the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinder. The increased air pressure and density enable the combustion of more fuel. By adjusting the fuel quantity and engine speed accordingly, the engine's output power can be increased.

What are the hidden features of the tenth-generation Accord?

The hidden features of the tenth-generation Accord include: automatic folding of side mirrors when locking the car, automatic door locking when the speed exceeds 20 km/h, and automatic downward tilting of side mirrors when reversing. The Accord's body lines are natural and smooth, with a design that blends fashion and dynamism while maintaining a sense of stability. In terms of exterior, the Accord features an independent 8-inch central control screen. In terms of configuration, the car is equipped with tire pressure monitoring, side airbags, knee airbags, and driving mode selection. In terms of space, the car is overall spacious and ample, with well-wrapped seats that provide good comfort for driving and riding. The interior storage space is practical, and the trunk has a large capacity, making it convenient for carrying large items.

What Gauge Wire Should Be Used for Jumper Cables?

For car jumper cables, it is recommended to use copper wires with an outer diameter of 10mm or more. When purchasing, not only the thickness of the wire matters but also its length. Excessively long jumper cables can lead to power loss, making it difficult to start the vehicle. Generally, jumper cables with a length of 3-4 meters are sufficient. Additionally, avoid purchasing jumper cables that cost only a few dozen yuan, as their quality is highly unreliable. They may not only leak electricity but also potentially damage the car. Below are the steps for connecting car jumper cables: 1. First, clamp the red wire of the jumper cable onto the red positive terminal of the "dead car" battery, then clamp the other end of the red wire onto the red positive terminal of the "rescue car" battery. 2. Clamp the black wire onto the negative terminal of the "dead car" battery, then clamp the other end of the black wire onto the black negative terminal of the "rescue car" battery. 3. Start the engine of the "rescue car" first, then attempt to start the engine of the "dead car." If the dead car still fails to start, check if there is poor contact in the metal connection parts. After successfully starting the engine, remember to remove the jumper cables in the correct order to avoid causing a short circuit.

Why Shouldn't You Coast in Neutral Downhill?

Here are the reasons why coasting in neutral downhill is not advisable: 1. When coasting in neutral, the engine stops running, causing the air compressor to cease operation. Since the vehicle requires frequent braking, the compressed air in the air reservoir continuously depletes, which may lead to brake failure. 2. It can easily damage the transmission. The transmission primarily uses rolling bearings. While coasting in neutral, the second shaft of the transmission rotates, but the constant-mesh gears remain stationary. As a result, these gears cannot agitate the gear oil in the transmission, and the bearings (especially those positioned higher and relying on splash lubrication) do not receive adequate lubrication, leading to premature wear of the bearings and gears. 3. Some drivers, aiming to save fuel, depress the clutch and turn off the engine to coast downhill. When they suddenly release the clutch pedal at the bottom of the hill to restart the engine, power is transmitted in reverse. The transmission path is: drive wheels → half shafts → differential → final drive → driveshaft → second shaft of the transmission → synchronizer → clutch. Since the clutch abruptly engages with the stationary flywheel, it endures significant impact loads, which can easily damage the clutch friction plates.

What is the standard amount of car antifreeze to add?

Generally, the antifreeze reservoir will have a max (maximum) water level mark and a min (minimum) water level mark. The car antifreeze should be added to a level between the max and min marks. For most family cars, replacing the antifreeze requires 4-6 liters, depending on the vehicle. Methods to determine if antifreeze is insufficient: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to insufficient antifreeze, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperature. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the liquid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level marks on the antifreeze reservoir. The antifreeze level should normally be between the maximum and minimum marks. Whether the antifreeze is insufficient depends on the marks. If the antifreeze level is below the minimum mark, it indicates insufficient antifreeze.
