Car dashboard 'trip' refers to the trip mileage, which is used to measure the kilometers traveled during each trip. The mileage represented by 'trip' is the distance accumulated before the current reset. To restart recording the mileage, you can long-press to reset it. The mileage on the left side of 'trip' represents the vehicle's total mileage, which cannot be reset. The car odometer includes two LCD digital display windows connected to the same signal source, which respectively accumulate the current trip mileage and the total mileage. The current trip mileage usually has four digits for short-term counting and can be reset. The total mileage has six digits and cannot be reset. The mileage numbers accumulated by the electronic odometer are stored in non-volatile memory, ensuring data preservation even without power.

Are There 6-Speed Manual Transmissions?

Manual transmissions can have 6 speeds. The more gears a transmission has, the smaller the difference in gear ratios between them, resulting in smoother shifting. Here are some related details: Driving Comfort: A 6-speed transmission has more refined gear ratios than a 5-speed, reducing the sensation of jerking during gear changes. Additionally, at high speeds, the engine RPM is lower in 6th gear, resulting in less noise. Performance: The gear ratios in a 6-speed are more finely tuned, with smaller differences between gears, making shifts smoother.

Is it allowed for the rearview mirror to touch the line in Subject 2?

In the Subject 2 test, the rearview mirror must not touch the line. Adjusting the rearview mirrors properly is crucial during both the learning and examination phases of Subject 2.

Right rearview mirror: For vertical positioning, the ground should occupy two-thirds of the mirror's surface, allowing visibility of the rear wheel's fender (the curved, eyebrow-like part above the wheel). For horizontal positioning, keep the car body within one-quarter of the mirror's surface. Left rearview mirror: For vertical positioning, the ground should occupy the center of the mirror.
