Body sweeping the line means the vehicle body crosses the line, which results in a deduction of 100 points, making the test unsuccessful. Other actions that also result in a 100-point deduction include the vehicle body crossing the line, not entering the parking space, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the specified time. The total score for both subjects is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The rules for the Subject 2 test of the motor vehicle driver's license application state that any of the following will result in failure: stopping or rolling back midway during the test, not following the voice prompts, or the wheels or vehicle body crossing the line. Many learners encounter the issue of crossing the line during Subject 2 training, and the most common mistake leading to failure is "crossing the line." The main reason for crossing the line is the learner's failure to master the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be the steering speed not keeping up with the vehicle speed. Subject 2 Deduction Standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: 100-point deduction. Not using the turn signal (including when starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking); turning on the turn signal for less than three seconds (note this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: 10-point deduction. Stalling once: 10-point deduction. Reverse Parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: 100-point deduction. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100-point deduction. Not completing the parking: 100-point deduction. Before reversing, if the two front wheels' contact points do not exceed the control line: 100-point deduction. Exceeding the 210-second time limit for the task: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction each time. Slope Fixed-Point Parking and Starting: After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: 100-point deduction. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: 10-point deduction. After the vehicle stops, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: 100-point deduction. Wheels crossing the road edge line while driving: 100-point deduction. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: 100-point deduction. After the vehicle stops, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: 100-point deduction. After parking, if the parking brake is not tightened: 10-point deduction per occurrence. After the vehicle stops, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm from the road edge line: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm when starting: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Parallel Parking: After the vehicle enters the parking space and stops, if the vehicle body crosses the line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when parking: 10-point deduction. Exceeding the 90-second time limit for the task: 100-point deduction. Vehicle body touching the parking space boundary line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Wheels touching the lane edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Right-Angle Turn: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal during the turn, or not turning off the turn signal after the turn: 10-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Curve Driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 100-point deduction. Driving without the gear in second or higher: 5-point deduction.

Before parking, reduce speed, turn on the right turn signal, and observe the right rearview mirror to check for any vehicles or pedestrians behind on the right side; 3. Once the car is steadily parked by the roadside, engage the handbrake or press the parking button; 4. At night, press the hazard warning flasher on the car. The steps for starting the car: 1. After getting into the car, adjust the seat properly; 2. Start the engine and observe if there are any abnormal indicators on the dashboard; 3. Press the clutch pedal all the way down with the left foot; 4. Shift to first gear and release the parking brake lever; 5. Slowly lift the clutch to find the semi-engagement point; 6.

What is the normal range for a car's tachometer?

For a car's tachometer, 2200 to 2500 RPM is considered normal. Generally, the tachometer is divided into several zones: the white scale area indicates the safe RPM range, while the red scale marks the dangerous RPM range. Some vehicle models also feature a green zone, which indicates the engine's most fuel-efficient operating range. As long as the engine RPM does not enter the dangerous range, it is considered normal. However, it's important to ensure that the engine RPM matches the current gear; otherwise, driving at high RPM in a low gear or low RPM in a high gear can cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle. When starting the car, the engine RPM may reach around 1200 to 1500 RPM, as a lower RPM can lead to stalling during startup. Once the engine reaches normal operating conditions, the RPM will typically drop to around 800 RPM. During gear shifts, the recommended RPM range is usually between 2000 and 2500 RPM.

What is the difference between semi-synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil?

Semi-synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil differ in the following aspects: 1. Different base oils: Semi-synthetic oil uses Group III base oil, while fully synthetic oil is a blend of Group III, IV, and V base oils. 2. Different applicable temperatures: Fully synthetic oil can be used in a wider range of temperatures and has a longer service life compared to semi-synthetic oil. 3. Different applicable vehicle conditions: Semi-synthetic oil is commonly used in economical, small-displacement vehicles with smooth driving conditions, while fully synthetic oil is more suitable for harsh and severe operating conditions. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is as vital as the blood of a car, ensuring the normal operation of the engine. It serves seven main functions within the engine: lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing, anti-wear, and shock absorption. The adequacy of the oil level and the condition of the oil directly affect the normal operation of the engine.

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft sensor?

The symptoms of a faulty crankshaft sensor include: 1. The malfunction indicator light turns on; 2. The engine can continue to operate relying on the camshaft position sensor, but the starting time may be longer, and the cruise and exhaust brake systems may not function properly. Additionally, the engine may shake and emit white smoke, although there is no significant change in power performance, and the throttle response remains normal; 3. Fault codes may be generated; 4. Abnormal signal disc. The crankshaft sensor plays a crucial role among sensors, determining the position of the crankshaft, detecting engine speed, and also detecting signals such as the top dead center signal of each cylinder for ignition control and the top dead center signal of the first cylinder for sequential fuel injection control. The crankshaft sensor usually works in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition timing.
