Rain can cause damage to the car's exterior paint, ignition system, and air filter. When cold air outside meets the hot air inside the engine compartment during rainy weather, condensation forms on the ignition system. If the moisture does not evaporate in time, it can affect the operation of the ignition system, leading to difficulty in starting the vehicle. Additional impacts: 1. Damage to the interior: As the vehicle ages, the sealing strips at the joints of the body will gradually deteriorate. Areas such as the connection between the A-pillar and the windshield can become weak points where rainwater seeps into the interior, causing water damage to the upholstery. 2. Damage to the paint: Rainwater in urban areas generally has high acidity, and the acidic components in the rain can severely corrode the car's paint. Over time, this can cause irreversible damage to the car's paintwork.

Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The exam includes various types of questions such as image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; knowledge of accident rescue and handling of common hazardous chemicals; comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors and case analysis; knowledge of avoiding danger in emergency situations; safe driving knowledge; and knowledge of driving ethics and civilized driving.

If the first attempt on the day is not passed, an immediate retake is allowed. If it is still not passed, a new appointment is required, and no retake fee is charged. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4". Subject 4 is the colloquial name for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Exam Notes: Exam Duration: The exam lasts 45 minutes. If 12 points (6 questions) are lost during the exam, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The exam includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The exam also includes animated questions, image questions, scenario identification questions, and text description questions. Retake Notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. If not passed, retakes can continue indefinitely, and no retake fee is required for Subject 4. There are a total of 3 subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 3 is divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skill test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skill and safety and civilization driving knowledge test.

How to Check the Fuel Consumption of the Excelle?

To check the fuel consumption display on the Excelle, you need to locate the menu button on the LCD screen. Press the button to navigate through the pages, where you can find the instantaneous fuel consumption and average fuel consumption pages. Here is a related introduction to the Buick Excelle: 1. Introduction: The Buick Excelle is the fourth model produced by the Buick brand based on General Motors' latest global platform, following the new Regal, new LaCrosse, and Enclave. The Excelle originates from the Opel Astra and is built on the GM Global DeltaⅡ platform. The name "Excelle" not only perfectly interprets the innate spirited temperament and crisp, bold lines of this five-door coupe but also injects new contemporary connotations into the Buick brand spirit. 2. Checking Fuel Consumption: On the Excelle, there is a rotary ring on the left side of the steering wheel, near the high/low beam lever. Rotating this ring allows you to view instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, trip meter, average speed, and remaining fuel range. Pressing and holding the button at the top of the lever can reset these values. 3. Instantaneous Fuel Consumption: Instantaneous fuel consumption indicates the fuel consumption at a specific moment. The display unit is "liters per 100 kilometers (L/100Km)" when the vehicle is in motion and "liters per hour (L/H)" when the engine is running but the vehicle is stationary. Average fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption per hour over the entire distance traveled.

What does Auto Hold mean?

Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this feature, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, avoiding the operation of using the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the frequent switching between D to N or D to P. During driving, when a temporary stop is required, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling, eliminating the need to remember to pull the handbrake. When starting the vehicle, the system will automatically apply the brakes to prevent backward sliding. Once the forward traction reaches a level sufficient to move uphill, the system will automatically release the brakes for forward movement. When parking and locking the vehicle, the system will automatically brake the wheels at that moment.
