When the car displays 'tc' with a slash, it indicates that the traction control is turned off. This is a status of one of the car's functions and does not mean there is a fault with the car. The vehicle can still be driven normally. 'tc' stands for the traction control system, which improves the vehicle's passability. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects that some wheels are slipping, it applies brakes to the slipping wheels to prevent the loss of traction on those wheels. The role of the traction control system is to ensure the car obtains optimal traction under various driving conditions. The control device of the traction control system is a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering angle of the wheel. When accelerating, if the computer detects an excessive speed difference between the driving wheels and non-driving wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is too high and sends a signal to reduce the fuel supply to the engine, thereby lowering the driving force and reducing the slip rate of the driving wheels.

Should I Turn on the Turn Signal Again If It Goes Off During a U-Turn in Subject 3?

No, you should not turn on the turn signal again if it goes off during a U-turn in Subject 3. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or pulling over, or using the turn signal for less than 3 seconds will result in disqualification. Operation details: Do not forget the starting details (lights, gear, horn, and brake). Fully release the handbrake. Proceed slowly in 1st or 2nd gear when starting, tackling steep slopes, sharp turns, roundabouts, or making U-turns. Finally, use 1st gear when pulling over and 2nd gear elsewhere, ensuring no turn signal is missed. When to use the turn signal: Use the right turn signal when pulling over and the left turn signal when starting from the roadside. Do not use the turn signal when entering a roundabout but use the right turn signal when exiting. Signal left before overtaking and right after completing it. Signal in advance when changing lanes. Use the left turn signal when making a U-turn. U-turns generally involve turning left, and the left signal alerts vehicles behind to slow down to avoid collisions. Using the right signal by mistake may lead to driving against traffic, which is a violation. Precautions: Turn the signal on firmly and off lightly. If the turn signal goes off, reactivate it. Failing to signal, signaling incorrectly, or signaling for less than 3 seconds without detection will result in a 100-point deduction—the strictest part of the new rules. However, do not leave the turn signal on for too long. Remember to turn it off promptly after completing the maneuver. During the road test, driving more than 200 meters with the turn signal on will result in a 100-point deduction and disqualification. Plan the details when pulling over: activate the right turn signal upon hearing the instruction to pull over, reduce speed, and check if the right turn signal was activated before applying the handbrake. Ensure the vehicle is within 30 cm of the roadside before applying the handbrake, as the test ends once the handbrake is engaged.

Should front and rear tires be rotated on a car?

To rotate the front and rear tires on a car, follow these steps: 1. Place the jack on the chassis support bracket and use a wrench to loosen the screws in a diagonal pattern; 2. Hook the support onto the jack and attach the wrench to the end of the support, then rotate the wrench clockwise to lift the tire off the ground with the jack; 3. Remove the screws and take off the tire for replacement. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance.

Is there any risk of fraudulent charges with ETC?

ETC cannot be fraudulently charged, and the vast majority of ETC systems are very secure. To prevent ETC from being fraudulently charged, it is recommended that car owners: 1. Set a fixed limit for ETC at the bank, not too high; 2. Remove the ETC card when leaving the car; 3. ETC is an IC card that can only be settled in ETC scenarios, so try not to bind other bank cards when applying. The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, automatically sensing and identifying the vehicle and exchanging relevant toll data. It uses a computer network to process toll data, realizing a fully automatic electronic toll collection system without stopping or setting up toll windows.

What type of engine oil is suitable for the Haval H6 turbocharged engine?

Haval H6 turbocharged engine should use synthetic engine oil for maintenance, with a viscosity of 5w-40. Engine oil grades: Semi-synthetic and full synthetic oils have their own grades, which many car owners notice during oil changes, such as 5w-30 or 5w-40. These grades represent different freeze resistance and high-temperature viscosity properties of the oil. Engine oil quality grades: Engine oil starting with 'S' indicates it is for gasoline engines; oil starting with 'C' indicates it is for diesel engines. API is the abbreviation for the American Petroleum Institute, and the API grade represents the quality grade of the engine oil, indicating its working capability.

What are the techniques for driving uphill?

Techniques for driving uphill: 1. Start the car by pressing the brake pedal firmly with your right foot; 2. Do not release the foot brake or handbrake, then shift the gear from P to D and wait for about 2 seconds; 3. Press the button on the handbrake with your right hand, but do not release the handbrake; 4. Press the accelerator while releasing the handbrake. Reasons for hill start assist failure: 1. When the handbrake is not engaged, the gear lever of a manual transmission car is in neutral; 2. The gear lever of an automatic transmission car is in the P position; 3. The accelerator is not pressed. If the hill start assist fails, it is recommended to press the brake firmly to keep the car stationary for some time, then start again to see if it works. If it does not return to normal, the car should be sent to a 4S shop for inspection.
