What is the difference between Michelin Sport 3 and Sport 4?

Is there a mandatory retirement age for passenger cars?

For household 5-seat passenger cars and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage lifespan limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the retirement process. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial passenger cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan restrictions. Commercial vehicles have mandatory retirement ages as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a retirement age of 8 years, medium taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public bus passenger vehicles have a retirement age of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a retirement age of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks 10 years. The vehicle retirement process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for retirement renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Retirement" and affix their seal. The registration office accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Retirement Notice" for vehicles that have reached the retirement age. For vehicles not yet at retirement age, after inspection and confirmation of meeting retirement standards, a "Vehicle Retirement Notification" is issued. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block broken, and the frame (chassis) cut. The owner submits the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Recycled Vehicle Certificate", and dismantling photos to the inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates are reclaimed, and the retirement registration is processed after approval. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if a vehicle cannot be driven back to its registration location due to damage, the owner may surrender it to a local recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must still retire according to their original commercial vehicle retirement age. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing vehicle transfer or cancellation registration, the original owner can apply to reuse the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle, provided: (1) the application is made within six months after transfer or cancellation; (2) the owner possessed the original vehicle for over three years.

What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Song 1.5t?

BYD Song 1.5t has 3 models on sale, including the 2021-1.5T-Auto Xiaoyun Edition Luxury, Premium, and Elite models, all equipped with a 185 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity of different BYD Song 1.5t models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 185 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100 km have a fuel tank capacity of 63L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 63/7.4*100=851km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement generally means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. At the same time, low temperatures cause the engine computer to control higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.

What is the difference between e300 and e300l?

e300l is an extended version of e300, mainly featuring a longer wheelbase, resulting in larger rear seating space. The differences are: 1. In terms of appearance, the E300L has a longer body and wheelbase compared to the E300, directly reflected in the larger rear seating space. 2. From a production perspective, the E300L is domestically produced, while the E300 is fully imported. More details about the E300L are as follows: 1. The Mercedes-Benz E300L is a model exclusively designed for the Chinese market. Its extended wheelbase is entirely to meet the needs of domestic users, and its domestic production will offer a more competitive price than the imported version. 2. In terms of exterior design, the Mercedes-Benz new E-Class Long Wheelbase version remains unchanged compared to the imported E-Class, with adjustments made only in body length, width, and wheelbase to cater to the Chinese market. The domestic Mercedes-Benz E-Class Long Wheelbase version has a body length of 5012mm, a wheelbase extended by 140mm to 3014mm, and a body width slightly increased by 1mm. 3. Data shows that the extended part of the domestic new E-Class appears entirely behind the B-pillar, which is the most crucial part determining the legroom for rear passengers, giving it a clear advantage among similarly priced models in China. 4. In terms of interior, the dark gray interior appears more youthful, paired with brown seats, giving a high-end feel. The focus on the upper part of the center console is the large-sized GPS navigation screen. The middle section features audio control buttons, while the lower part houses air conditioning control buttons.

What are the test items for the automatic transmission C2 Subject 2 driving test?

The C2 Subject 2 test consists of four items: reversing into a parking space (reverse parking), parallel parking, curve driving (S-turn), and right-angle turning. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess hill start and stopping. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, so many test centers arrange it as the first test item. This is because drivers must follow the prescribed route and sequence. During reverse parking, crossing the lines or stopping to adjust the position is not allowed. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheel reference point, the appearance of the rear corner in the side mirror, and the distance between the wheel and the left dashed line. After parking, there is no need to straighten the wheels, and don’t forget to use the turn signal when exiting. After the vehicle is parked, the body must not cross the lines. During driving, the tires must not touch or press the lane boundary lines. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-turn, is relatively easy for many students with good driving sense, as they can complete it intuitively. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure by crossing the lines. The key to the S-turn lies in observing the reference points on the front hood and the boundary lines. Wheels must not press the road edge lines. Right-angle turning is even simpler, essentially a breakdown of the exit phase in reverse parking. The method for finding reference points is the same as exiting: observing the relationship between the front hood’s horizontal line and the front boundary line (just touching or slightly delaying). Ensure the wheels do not press the road edge lines. Important Notes: Typically, the required training hours for C1 Subject 2 are 16 hours, while C2 Subject 2 requires 14 hours. Completing these hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced. Additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If you fail the Subject 2 test, you can retake it once. If you fail again, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule the test after 10 days. If you fail five consecutive test attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you must restart from Subject 1. The validity period for obtaining a driver’s license is three years. All tests after passing Subject 1 must be completed within this period; otherwise, previous scores will be voided, and you must re-enroll in a driving school and retake all tests.
