Here is the relevant information about Subject 4: 1. Subject 4, also known as Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. 2. After the implementation of "Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China", Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and civilization knowledge test was added, commonly known as "Subject 4", which assesses "driving ethics". 3. The main contents include: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods in situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-traffic accident handling. 4. According to the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank in proportion, including 22 true/false questions, 23 single-choice questions, and 5 multiple-choice questions. The questions are mainly presented in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc. If 12 points (6 questions) are wrong during the answering process, the test will be terminated.

Subject 4 is the final hurdle of the driver's license test. Back when I was preparing, I practiced questions every day until midnight. It's similar to Subject 1 but more practical, as it's all about answering questions on the computer, with content focused entirely on safe driving. For example, how to drive without skidding in heavy rain, how to steer if a tire suddenly bursts, and how to brake within seconds when a pedestrian suddenly darts out. The most useful part was learning first aid knowledge—last time my friend fell off his bike and was bleeding, I immediately used a triangular bandage to dress the wound, which was taught in Subject 4. You need to get at least 45 out of 50 questions right, and the tricky part is that wrong answers are linked, deducting 2 points for each mistake. Passing is required to get the driver's license, but compared to parallel parking, it's much easier.

On the day of taking Subject 4, I was extremely nervous, afraid of failing at the final hurdle. It is more closely related to actual road conditions than Subject 1, consisting entirely of multiple-choice questions simulating real-life scenarios. For example, what to do when encountering dense fog on the highway late at night, how to handle brake failure on a downhill mountain road, and there's even a section dedicated to understanding traffic police hand signals. I remember one particularly practical question: In case of a vehicle fire, should you save your wallet or rescue people first? The answer was to ensure your own safety first and then call the police. After the test, I understood why it's called the Safe and Civilized Driving Exam—this knowledge can truly save lives while driving.

Subject 4 is actually the safety theory part of Subject 3. Our instructors always call it the life-saving test. It mainly covers driving techniques in bad weather, emergency handling, and defensive driving. For example, how to use headlights during heavy rain, never slamming the brakes after a tire blowout, and giving way to ambulances at a 45-degree angle. The test also includes many new regulations, such as yielding to erratic electric scooters. You need to answer 45 out of 50 questions correctly to pass. Wrong answers will be corrected on the spot, and retaking the test is much easier than Subject 2.

Last week, I just passed Subject 4 of the driving test and found it particularly emphasizes practical emergency response skills. The question bank included simulated tunnel fire escape routes, teaching me the correct positions to use safety hammers. The first aid section for injured individuals taught how to immobilize fractures, which was even more practical than Red Cross training. The examiner said the most common mistakes involved right-of-way rules, such as yielding to vehicles from the right at intersections without traffic signals. After the test, I developed the habit of adjusting the rearview mirror before fastening the seatbelt. These details can truly help avoid accidents.

The biggest takeaway from my Subject 4 exam was learning to anticipate dangers. Those animated questions were incredibly realistic: how to avoid suddenly opened car doors, how to steer around animal carcasses on highways. One set of accident handling questions left a deep impression - after a rear-end collision, first turn on hazard lights and place a warning triangle at least 150 meters away. Now when driving, I always recall the tire blowout procedure from the exam: grip steering-wheel firmly - pump brakes - slow to stop - set up warning sign. Actually all questions are in the Driver's License Exam Prep app, reviewing them three times basically guarantees passing.

What Causes Automatic Parking System Failure?

Automatic parking system failure can be caused by the following reasons: Lever cannot be fixed: The parking brake lever cannot be fixed; the lever needs to be replaced or reinstalled. Brake failure: The parking brake fails; it is necessary to inspect and replace parts such as brake pads. If the parking brake makes abnormal noises or is aged, lubricant should be added or the brake should be replaced. Excessive gap: If the friction pads of the automatic parking system have too large a gap with the brake drum, or if there is oil contamination, severe wear, exposed rivets, or surface hardening causing slippage, the brake pads and brake disc should be replaced.

Should You Shift to Neutral When Parking an Automatic Car?

If you are waiting at a red light or only stopping for a couple of minutes, you can shift to neutral, but you must keep your foot on the brake, and it's best to engage the handbrake. If you are parking the car and leaving it unattended for an extended period, it is not recommended to leave it in neutral; instead, shift to P (Park). Parking Steps: The correct parking procedure is as follows: First, press the brake pedal, shift from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), then engage the mechanical handbrake or electronic parking brake. This step ensures that all the force is absorbed by the handbrake. Next, shift from N to P (Park), and then turn off the engine. This is the proper parking procedure. Parking on a Slope: When parking on a slope, it is even more important to follow the above steps. If you shift directly from D to P while parking on a slope, it can cause significant damage to the transmission because the locking mechanism of the transmission will bear excessive force.

Can you overtake by borrowing the lane with a yellow dashed line?

The yellow dashed line in the center of the road indicates that it is possible to cross the line for overtaking if safety is ensured. When overtaking, pay attention to the following: Reduce speed and honk: When passing a parked vehicle, you should slow down and honk (in areas where honking is not prohibited), observe carefully, stay alert, maintain a large lateral distance, and be prepared to brake at any time to prevent the vehicle from suddenly starting and entering the traffic lane, causing a collision, or the driver suddenly opening the door and getting out. Especially when overtaking a bus parked at a station, be extra cautious of pedestrians suddenly crossing the road from behind the parked vehicle. Situations where emergency braking is not needed: If you find obstacles on the left side of the road or the lateral distance is too small, making a side collision possible, try to avoid emergency braking to prevent side-slip collisions due to road camber. Instead, hold the steering wheel steady without turning it left or right, increase the distance appropriately in the shortest time, and then look for another opportunity to overtake. Never take the risk of forcing an overtake.

How to Release the Electronic Parking Brake?

Release method for the electronic parking brake: Simply press the electronic parking brake button. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, with the same working principle as the mechanical handbrake—both control parking braking via the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. Advantages of the electronic parking brake include: 1. The elimination of the parking brake lever inside the cabin provides more design flexibility for the vehicle's interior styling; 2. Replacing the brake lever with a single button makes parking braking simpler and more effortless; 3. In addition to basic functions like static parking, static release, and automatic release, it also offers auxiliary functions such as auto hold and dynamic parking.

What does 'rest' mean in a car?

Car's 'rest' refers to the residual heat utilization mode. The residual heat utilization mode is a function that uses the residual heat from the engine to continue providing warm air inside the car for up to half an hour after the engine is turned off, before automatically shutting down. The REST function is suitable for maintaining the interior temperature during short winter stops when the engine is turned off, preventing a rapid drop in temperature. When restarting the vehicle, there's no need to turn on the air conditioning system to reheat the interior temperature. To activate this function, simply press the REST residual heat control button on the center console after turning off the vehicle. Do not immediately turn on the warm air when starting a cold engine. Since the engine has just started, the radiator temperature is very low in winter, and turning on the air conditioning will not quickly raise the car's temperature but will instead increase the engine's burden and delay the normal rise in engine temperature.

What does 10W-40 engine oil mean?

Engine oil 10W40 refers to the viscosity grade of the oil being 10W40. The number before the 'W' represents the cold start performance; the smaller the number, the easier it is to start the engine in cold weather. Common grades include 0W, 5W, 10W, and 15W. Below are the methods for selecting engine oil and an introduction to oil grades: Methods for selecting engine oil: When choosing engine oil, it's not about selecting the most expensive one but rather about choosing the right oil based on the characteristics of your car's engine and your usual driving habits. You can categorize your choice by the oil used in winter and the oil used in summer. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade. In summer, due to higher temperatures, there's no need to select an oil with a superior low-temperature viscosity grade. Engine oil grades: Engine oil grades are classified by quality and viscosity. Oils for gasoline engines are usually denoted by the letter 'S,' while oils for diesel engines are typically marked with the letter 'C.'
