The teapot symbol displayed on the car dashboard is the engine oil pressure warning light, usually red with a droplet graphic at the spout. This indicator serves to monitor whether the oil pressure is normal. When starting the car, dashboard indicators briefly illuminate as the system performs a self-check. If no issues are detected, all indicators will turn off. Reasons for the oil pressure warning light activation: 1. Insufficient oil level reduces pump efficiency or causes air ingestion, leading to pressure drop; 2. Overheating engine thins the oil, increasing leakage through component gaps; 3. Clogged oil filter or suction screen restricts oil flow; 4. Using incorrect oil grade or viscosity results in excessive leakage during engine operation.

Why Can't a Flooded Car Be Restarted?

A flooded car cannot be restarted because there may be water in the cylinders, and restarting could cause engine damage. If the engine is damaged due to a restart, it may not be covered by insurance. When a car is parked statically in deep water or driven through water, water can enter the engine's intake and travel through the intake pipes into the cylinders. Since the piston relies on compressing gas to achieve reciprocating motion, if liquid water enters the cylinder, it cannot be compressed by the piston. If the engine is restarted under these conditions, the piston will move upward to compress the water, but since water is incompressible, repeating this action can damage the piston or connecting rod, leading to a major engine overhaul. After driving through water, the second step is to call the insurance company to report the incident. Damage caused by flooding is typically covered under comprehensive auto insurance, and many commercial insurance policies now include free towing services within the city. It is necessary to inspect the extent of water ingress and damage. This includes checking whether the radiator fins are blocked, whether bearings are damaged by water, the condition of driveline components such as the driveshaft universal joint and CV joints, and the status of the chassis. Additionally, inspect the interior, floor, and whether water has reached electronic modules on the floor, testing their functionality. Check if water has entered the transmission vent and assess the transmission's condition. Also, examine the air filter, intake pipes, and cylinders for water ingress.

Is the U-turn Make-up Test in Changshu Subject 3 No Longer Available?

Changshu Subject 3 U-turn make-up test is available. Changshu Subject 3 U-turn test techniques: Simulated lighting, which is emphasized during both practice and simulation, should not result in low-level mistakes here. There is ample time to perform actions after the voice command, so avoid rushing and causing misoperations. Making a mistake here will result in an immediate failure. For starting the vehicle: first press the clutch, second shift into gear, third turn on the signal light, fourth honk the horn for a longer duration or twice, pay attention to pedestrians, and accelerate steadily. For proceeding straight at the intersection ahead, maintain a speed of 25 km/h through the intersection. Turn your head left and right to observe and honk the horn, though there is no strict requirement for this. For safety, it's best to do so, but avoid exceeding 30 km/h! After passing the intersection, proceed into the lane; observe left and right and honk the horn, though these actions are not strictly required to continue. Changshu Subject 3 U-turn precautions: Do not drive too fast, as completing the turn in less than 10 seconds is possible. Avoid maintaining a speed exactly at 40 km/h, as some instructors mention a margin of error of about 2 km. If your speed is calculated as below 40 km/h, it will not be acceptable.
