Half-clutch speed control refers to the technique of pressing the clutch pedal when deceleration is needed, allowing the vehicle to move forward by inertia. The method for half-clutch speed control is: 1. Apply the brakes; 2. After the speed decreases, press the clutch; 3. The clutch should be pressed after the brakes but before the brakes are fully engaged. Half-clutch is an unstable connection state of the clutch, where the driver gradually reduces the pressure on the clutch pedal, causing the driving plate and driven plate to slip while rotating. Symptoms of half-clutch operation include: 1. A noticeable resistance against the clutch pedal; 2. Slight vehicle vibration and engine noise; 3. A tendency for slight forward lurching and a drop in tachometer readings.

What is the difference between AMT and manual-automatic transmission?

Transmission is one of the important drivetrain components in a car, and its performance is a key parameter that determines the vehicle's performance. Transmissions are mainly divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Among them, both AT and AMT belong to automatic transmissions. The specific differences between the two are as follows: 1. AT Transmission: The AT transmission consists of a valve body, oil pump, clutch, brake, one-way clutch, diaphragm spring, elastic retaining ring, steel plates, friction plates, large sun gear, small sun gear, planetary carrier, and ring gear. The AT transmission has a complex and precise structure, and in actual vehicle installation, it needs to be connected to a torque converter. AT - Automatic Transmission, mature technology, relatively higher fuel consumption. 2. AMT Transmission: The AMT transmission is essentially a manual transmission with automatic clutch and gear-shifting functions. Its structure is fundamentally the same as that of a traditional parallel-axis manual transmission. AMT transmissions have relatively larger shift shocks (though advancements in electronic control technology have made shifting actions and timing more precise, reducing the shocks). They are simple in structure, highly reliable, and easy to maintain. Additionally, since they are essentially manual transmissions with added automatic clutch and gear-shifting mechanisms, they have more gear options, making them more adaptable to various complex driving conditions. Ordinary AMT transmissions cannot amplify the input torque because they lack a torque converter, except for some heavy-duty transport vehicles that use AMT transmissions equipped with torque converters to handle their specific working conditions.

How many questions are there in Subject 4?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", Subject 4 consists of a total of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, making a total of 100 points. 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. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. 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.
