What is the general lifespan of a clutch master and slave cylinder?

The general lifespan of a clutch master and slave cylinder is approximately 70,000 kilometers. Below are some driving precautions: Judging following and oncoming vehicle distance: The following distance while driving should be estimated based on the current speed. When stopping, the following distance should generally be such that you can barely see the rear wheels of the vehicle in front. Proper steering wheel control: Master the five fundamental principles: starting, stopping, turning, shifting gears, and braking. These principles should be flexibly applied according to actual conditions. Night driving offers poorer visibility, making it harder to see far ahead, which can easily cause panic for novice drivers. When driving at night, novice drivers should first ensure a slower speed. If there are no streetlights and no vehicles ahead, you can turn on the high beams, but switch to low beams when another vehicle approaches.

How Does the Engine Start-Stop System Work?

The working principle of the engine start-stop system: When the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the start-stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and in neutral, the wheel speed sensor of the anti-lock system shows zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for a restart. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops running. How to use the engine start-stop system: Simply press the brake pedal while driving, and after the vehicle comes to a complete stop for about two seconds, the engine will automatically shut off. As long as the brake pedal is held down, the engine remains off. Releasing the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel will immediately trigger the engine to restart automatically, allowing the driver to press the accelerator and start moving again—all while remaining in Drive (D) mode.

How Many Meters for Pulling Over to the Side?

After the examiner issues the instruction to pull over to the side, the maneuver must be completed within 80 meters. The steps for pulling over to the side are as follows: 1. Upon hearing the "pull over to the side" instruction, first determine the parking position, then turn on the right turn signal and steer the wheel to the right at a 90-degree angle. 2. When the middle of the front of the car aligns with the curb, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left at an angle greater than 180 degrees. 3. When one-third of the front of the car aligns with the curb, straighten the steering wheel. If the car deviates, continuously adjust it slightly to maintain the one-third alignment. 4. When the car body is parallel to the curb and at a distance of 10 to 30 centimeters from it, stop the car. 5.
