The DEF warning light refers to the indicator light for the vehicle's auxiliary water tank. When this light is illuminated, it indicates that the auxiliary water tank is low on water, and it needs to be refilled immediately to resolve the issue. The reasons for the DEF warning light coming on are: 1. Engine temperature is too high, triggering an alarm. 2. The water temperature sensor is damaged. 3. Insufficient antifreeze. Types of indicator lights: 1. Oil pressure indicator: This light is used to display the oil pressure status in the engine. 2. Water temperature indicator: Primarily shows the temperature of the coolant in the engine. 3. Handbrake indicator: This light automatically turns on when the handbrake is engaged. 4. Battery indicator: This light also illuminates during vehicle self-check and turns off after startup. If it remains lit after startup, the battery may need replacement. 5. ABS indicator: If the ABS light does not flash when starting the engine or remains lit after startup, it indicates an ABS malfunction.

Why is there no specific time when booking Subject 1?

There are two reasons why there is no specific time for booking Subject 1: Before the exam, there is a queue for identity verification, which takes time and cannot be accurately estimated; Subject 1 exams allow early submission, and the end time of each examinee's exam varies. When one examinee submits early and a seat becomes available, the next examinee is allowed to take the exam. Exam location: First, find out where the exam site is on the day, and then search online for the overall environment of the exam site. Practice cycle: Go through all the questions in the question bank first, then take a mock test. If you can score above 90 in the mock exam, you are basically ready to take the actual exam. Preparing to enter the exam room: Relax, think about the patterns you've summarized during practice, and wait in line for the exam.

What to Do If the Annual Inspection Sticker Is Accidentally Torn?

The torn annual inspection sticker can be reissued. The vehicle owner should bring the original and photocopy of their ID card, the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office for reissuance. They need to fill out the application form for reissuance of the annual inspection sticker, pay the manual fee, and then they can affix the new annual inspection sticker. Below are the specific details about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Exemption Policy: Non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or less (including 7 seats) are exempt from on-site inspection for 6 years. This means the vehicle is exempt from the physical inspection, but the owner still needs to have the exhaust emissions tested within the specified period (usually 2 years). After passing the test, they must apply for the inspection exemption mark at the vehicle management office, vehicle registration service station, or traffic police substation and affix it to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial passenger vehicles and other vehicles has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered on or after September 1, 2012, can be exempted twice; vehicles registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, can be exempted once; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, are still subject to the original inspection regulations for annual review.

How many days do I need to wait for the subject 1 appointment?

It usually takes about 3-5 days for the subject 1 exam appointment to be processed, and the exam can be taken approximately 3-5 days after scheduling. This means the total time from enrolling in a driving school to taking the subject 1 exam is roughly 3-10 days. Below is an extended explanation: General situation: Enrolling in a driving school and completing the medical examination takes about half a day. After the medical exam, depending on the driving school's arrangements, students will be notified within about a week to complete the processing (fast processing can take as little as two days). The processing itself is also quick and can be completed in half a day. After processing, you can immediately schedule the subject 1 exam (if you want to complete the subject 1 exam as soon as possible, it is recommended to enroll in a driving school with an exam center to schedule the exam at any time).
