RCTA on a car refers to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system. The RCTA system is designed to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the sides or rear when reversing. When backing out of a parking space, it identifies and warns of vehicles coming from the left or right, assisting in the reversing process. More details about RCTA are as follows: 1. The RCTA system is designed to help drivers check the areas on both sides of the rear of the vehicle, alerting the driver if there are vehicles approaching from behind when the vehicle is in reverse. 2. When the vehicle is reversing, the RCTA system uses BSM radar to detect other vehicles in the blind spot behind the vehicle. 3. If the RCTA system determines that an approaching vehicle from behind may collide with the vehicle, it will sound an alarm, and the BSM indicator icons on both side mirrors will also flash to alert the driver, thereby reducing the likelihood of a collision. 4. When the vehicle is reversing and gets too close to a hazardous object or obstacle, or if a pedestrian, animal, or moving vehicle suddenly approaches the rear of the vehicle during reversing, and the driver fails to notice or brake in time, the system will intelligently and automatically apply the brakes to prevent accidents involving collisions with people or other vehicles.

Is an On-Site Inspection Mandatory for Six-Year-Old Vehicles?

Vehicles eligible for the six-year exemption from inspection must undergo an on-site inspection in their sixth year, strictly following the annual inspection procedures. The annual inspection compliance label will only be issued upon passing the inspection. Below are relevant details: 1. Eligible vehicles exempt from on-site inspection for six years will skip the physical vehicle inspection during this period. However, owners must still apply for the annual inspection compliance label (the one affixed to the windshield) every two years. 2. Required documents for on-site inspection: Original vehicle license (including both main and supplementary copies), valid compulsory traffic insurance policy (duplicate copy), and if the insurance policy does not include the vehicle and vessel tax, the original tax invoice must be provided. Additionally, the owner's original ID card is required for the annual inspection. It is important to note that all prior traffic violations must be settled before the inspection; otherwise, the vehicle will not be eligible for the annual inspection.

What is the reason for stalling easily with hill start assist?

The reason for stalling easily with hill start assist is lifting the clutch too quickly, failing to maintain the semi-engaged position, which causes manual transmission vehicles to stall when starting on a slope. Hill start assist refers to the intervention through software and hardware to prevent the vehicle from rolling back or stalling when in a hill start condition. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. Before the vehicle gains sufficient starting power, it will automatically assist the driver in braking. The braking method uses solenoid valves in the ABS pump to control the brake fluid circuit to prevent reverse slipping. 2. Starting a manual car on a half-slope is one of the challenging aspects of driving technique. It requires precise coordination between the throttle and clutch, hence practice on slopes is essential.

Can I Change Driving Schools After Registration?

It is possible to change driving schools after registration. The procedures for transferring between driving schools are as follows: The student needs to obtain a transfer certificate from the original driving school. Retrieve your personal file from the vehicle management office or the driving school. Finally, report to the new driving school with the file and the transfer certificate. Procedures for changing the location of the driving test: Applicants only need to present their resident ID card (for Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan residents, present the residence permit) directly to the vehicle management office in their current place of residence to apply for a change of test location. After the change is processed, applicants can directly schedule the remaining subjects for examination at their current place of residence, with previously passed subject scores remaining valid. After passing all subjects, the driver's license can be obtained directly at the current test location. Note: Students who withdraw after registration without taking the medical examination or who fail the medical examination will have service fees deducted. Students who pass the medical examination and have obtained driving school enrollment but withdraw before applying for the subject one examination will have file setup and service fees deducted. Students who request a refund after passing the optional subject examination but before the road test will not receive a tuition refund.

Where are car window films usually applied?

Car window films are typically applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof. Here is relevant information: 1. Car window films can block ultraviolet rays, reduce heat transmission, and prevent injuries caused by sudden glass shattering. Due to the one-way visibility feature of solar films, they also serve to protect personal privacy. Additionally, they can reduce air conditioning energy consumption, enhance aesthetics, and to some extent achieve fuel savings. 2. Car window films can block ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Medium and long-wave UV rays can penetrate thick glass, but applying heat-insulating films can block 99% of UV rays. This prevents skin damage and slows down the aging of car interiors. For example, the Mocha front windshield film MA70 blocks 99.9% of UV rays, equivalent to 56 times the SPF40 of sunscreen, making it a product recommended by the American Skin Cancer Association.
