When the ABS indicator light comes on, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, the ABS light on the dashboard will flash intermittently, and you may feel a pulsing sensation under the brake pedal, which means the ABS is functioning. The role of ABS is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle deceleration, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining a rolling-sliding state to ensure maximum traction between the tires and the road surface. In vehicles without ABS, braking on snowy surfaces can easily cause loss of directional stability. Additionally, the driver must manually use the hydraulic modulator to stop the vehicle. In contrast, vehicles equipped with ABS can automatically send control signals to the hydraulic modulator, enabling quicker, more precise, and more effective braking control.

What is the reason why the Ford Escort has electricity and oil but cannot start?

In low temperatures, the output power of the battery will decrease due to the increased viscosity of the electrolyte, reduced permeability, and increased resistance, making it difficult for the starter to drive the engine and preventing it from reaching the minimum starting speed, which affects engine ignition. Here are the related explanations: Other reasons: It could also be due to damaged spark plugs. Check if the spark plugs are aged or have excessive carbon buildup. If necessary, replace them with new ones. Or there might be poor contact in the high-voltage wires, which can be tested with a multimeter to check if the resistance is normal. Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage, or directly test with a new battery. Precautions: If the vehicle has been used for too long, the fuel pipes may be severely aged, and the vehicle may not be able to replenish fuel in time when starting, which usually causes ignition issues. Therefore, slightly pressing the accelerator can make the gasoline circulate faster, making it easier to start.

Will points be deducted if the vehicle body crosses the line in Subject 2?

In Subject 2, the vehicle body crossing the line refers to the situation where the vehicle body crosses the line during reverse parking. In this case, points will be deducted, and the candidate will also be judged as failing that particular test item. Below are the relevant details about the Subject 2 test: 1. Test Content: For small vehicles C1 and C2, the test items include reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed card collection). 2. Passing Criteria: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation standards set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required to pass.

Where to Pay Taxes for a New Car?

Currently, there are two ways to pay the vehicle purchase tax: you can go to the vehicle management office to pay it yourself, as there is usually a vehicle purchase tax collection point set up by the tax bureau; or you can entrust a car 4S store to handle the payment on your behalf. To pay the vehicle purchase tax, you need to prepare the original and a copy of your ID card, which means the ID card of the person under whose name the vehicle is registered; as well as the vehicle price proof, which is the vehicle invoice; and the vehicle certificate and its copy, which is provided by the 4S store. Precautions for paying the vehicle purchase tax: The vehicle purchase tax has a time limit. Starting from the date of the vehicle purchase invoice, the tax must be paid within 60 days. If overdue, a late fee of 0.05% of the tax amount will be charged daily. After the vehicle purchase tax is paid, the tax authority will issue a "Vehicle Purchase Tax Payment Certificate" to the owner, which must be kept properly and does not need to be carried in the vehicle. If the certificate is lost, it must be reissued. Cash is not accepted for vehicle purchase tax payments; only card payments are supported, so ensure there are sufficient funds on your credit card in advance.

What Do Power and Torque Mean?

Two important parameters of an engine are horsepower and torque. These two parameters are key factors in determining the quality of an engine. Torque is the force that causes an object to rotate. In simpler terms, torque indicates how much strength a car has. Power refers to the speed at which the engine performs work, essentially how fast the engine can rotate. Generally, a car with higher rotational speed can run faster. Horsepower is a unit of power. Typically, for a given power output, the rotational speed and torque of the same engine are inversely proportional. This means that the slower the engine's rotational speed, the greater its torque and strength, but at the expense of speed. Conversely, a higher rotational speed results in lower torque and relatively less strength, but higher speed. High torque is beneficial for acceleration, while high rotational speed enables the car to run faster. However, for different engines, if the power is greater, the rotational speed will be relatively higher, and the torque will also be greater. This is why a Bugatti engine with 1000 horsepower can reach speeds of 400 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just over three seconds. In contrast, a Santana with just over 100 horsepower cannot exceed 180 km/h and takes more than ten seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

Does touching the line with the car body result in point deduction in Subject 2?

Touching the line with the car body means the car body crosses the line. In the Subject 2 driving test, crossing the line with the car body results in a 100-point deduction, making the test unsuccessful. In addition to crossing the line with the car body, other actions that result in a 100-point deduction include failing to park properly in reverse, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, exceeding the allotted time, etc. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test, they are allowed one retake on the spot. If the candidate chooses not to retake or fails the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving test permit, the number of test attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills cannot exceed five. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
