Exhaust emission testing HC refers to the detection of hydrocarbons in vehicle exhaust. Below is relevant information: HC in exhaust represents the hydrocarbon compounds in vehicle emissions, which are harmful pollutants. Among vehicle emission pollutants, HC, CO, and NO all have significant environmental impacts. Introduction to HC, CO, and NO: 1. HC stands for hydrocarbons, produced during the combustion of gasoline and diesel. 2. CO is the abbreviation for carbon monoxide, a toxic substance that, when inhaled, prevents red blood cells from carrying oxygen, leading to suffocation and death. It is produced by the combustion of gasoline, diesel, and coal. 3. NO stands for nitric oxide. While harmless in itself and even beneficial in small amounts (such as dilating blood vessels and enhancing memory), it readily reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is toxic, has a pungent odor, damages the human respiratory system, causes various health issues, and pollutes water, soil, and the atmosphere.

Can China VI Diesel Vehicles Use Non-branded Fuel?

China VI vehicles do not require special gasoline, but it is advisable to avoid refueling at small gas stations to prevent the use of poor-quality fuel. For China VI vehicles, low-ash engine oil should be the preferred choice as it contains minimal ash content, significantly reducing the likelihood of particulate filter clogging. The reasons for not recommending non-branded fuel are as follows: 1. Unreliable fuel quality: Small gas stations, due to inferior storage and filtration technologies compared to major brands, often sell gasoline with many impurities. These impurities can clog the vehicle's fuel injection system, causing significant damage. 2. Unknown fuel sources: The fuel at small gas stations mainly comes from local small-scale refineries. Some even mix gasoline from these small refineries with major brand gasoline, making it difficult to distinguish genuine from fake, and the fuel quality is hardly guaranteed.

How many points are deducted for turning without signaling?

Failure to use or incorrect use of turn signals will result in a deduction of 10 points each time, with the specific regulations as follows: Not using or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a deduction of 10 points. Turning less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a deduction of 10 points. There are six instances in Subject 2 where turn signals are required: When starting the vehicle, turn on the left turn signal; When starting on a slope, turn on the left turn signal; When parallel parking, turn on the right turn signal as the vehicle passes the parking spot and stops 30 cm from the curb before preparing to reverse; Before shifting into reverse gear during parallel parking, turn on the left turn signal, as the steering wheel will be turned fully to the right during reversing, causing the front of the car to shift left; Before exiting the parking spot during parallel parking, shift into drive and turn on the left turn signal, turning it off promptly after exiting; When entering the area for a right-angle turn, turn on the left turn signal and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Subject 2 has a maximum score of 100 points, with criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The following conditions must be met to pass the test: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The C1 and C2 license tests include five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. The A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 license tests include: pole test, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, narrow gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What are all the situations that may occur when reversing into a parking space too early or too late?

When reversing into a parking space too early or too late, the following situations may occur: turning the wheel too early will cause the left edge of the car to press against the left boundary line of the parking space, and if it's too early, the car won't be able to enter the garage. Turning the wheel too late will cause the right edge of the car to press against the right boundary line of the parking space, and if it's too late, the car won't be able to enter the garage. Adjusting the wheel too early or too late will both result in the rear of the car pressing against the boundary line. Below is an introduction to reversing into a parking space: 1. Introduction: Reversing into a parking space has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. 2. Content: It tests the driver's ability to operate the car in a specific area. Reversing into a parking space is an assessment point in the driver's test, which involves correctly reversing the car into the garage from both sides while in motion. 3. Standard methods: There are three most common types of reversing into a parking space. The first is the "non"-shaped reversing, commonly seen in large shopping malls. The second is the roadside "one"-shaped reversing, commonly known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reversing. 70% of driving school students find parallel parking more difficult.

Why does the car shake like a convulsion when accelerating?

The following are the reasons for body shaking during acceleration: 1. Engine mount pad: Aging of the engine mount pad. 2. Chassis: Loose chassis. 3. High engine temperature: When the engine temperature is too high, the ECU controls the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, making the air-fuel mixture richer. At this time, sudden acceleration will cause the engine to shake. 4. Poor tire grip: Shaking may also occur during sudden acceleration. Below are extended reasons why the car cannot accelerate beyond 60 km/h: 1. Insufficient engine speed: The gear is too high, causing drag and lack of power. It is recommended to shift gears above 2500 RPM. 2. Just going uphill: The car may be going uphill or carrying too much weight, making it difficult for the engine to accelerate. 3. Low-speed engine: The engine is a low-speed type, with insufficient torque and horsepower at high RPM. 4. Untimely gear shifting: For example, using only 3rd gear to reach 60 km/h makes it difficult to accelerate further. This can also be caused by fuel supply system failures, failure to control fuel pressure or ignition timing as required, or issues with spark plugs and high-voltage wires.
