The functions of an air compressor in a car: 1. Cleaning the surface of parts. Car parts are numerous and complex in shape, making them difficult to clean. The inner and outer surfaces of the parts are prone to dirt or metal shavings. Using compressed air can clean all types of parts thoroughly; 2. Unclogging blocked pipes. The air and oil passages in a car often get partially or completely blocked by foreign objects. By introducing compressed air in the opposite direction of the foreign object's entry, the blockage can be quickly cleared; 3. Checking for leaks. The air pipes, oil passages, and cooling system in a car often have leaks of varying degrees. To locate hidden leaks, the components can be submerged in water or coated with soapy water, and then compressed air can be introduced into the components to easily identify the leaks.

Is the 5-attempt limit for Subject 2 and Subject 3 separate or combined?

Subject 2 and Subject 3 each have 5 attempts. Relevant regulations: "Regulations for the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 44 states that each subject examination can be taken once, with one retake opportunity if failed. If the retake is not attended or still results in failure, the examination process terminates, and the applicant must reschedule. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 examinations can only be rescheduled after 10 days. Exceeding 5 attempts: Within the validity period of the learning driving permit, the number of scheduled examinations for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled examination still results in failure, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

What does AM mean in a car?

Car radio mode: There are two modes for car radios, one is AM and the other is FM. Generally, drivers use the FM button more often when listening to the radio, as FM is used to operate the radio's frequency modulation, while AM is used to adjust the radio's band. AM vs. FM: AM and FM are two different broadcast reception systems with distinct working principles. They operate independently and do not interfere with each other. Typically, FM provides better sound quality without intermittent broadcast signals, whereas AM band reception usually offers lower sound quality.

Does a new car require annual inspection?

New cars require annual inspections. The inspection cycle varies depending on the type of vehicle. Passenger vehicles for commercial use: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must undergo an on-site inspection once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Freight vehicles: Freight vehicles and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must undergo an on-site inspection once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Small non-commercial vehicles: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years, and those meeting the exemption criteria are exempt from on-site inspection; between 6 and 10 years, they must undergo an on-site inspection once every 2 years; after 10 years, once a year; and after 15 years, once every 6 months.

How Many Milliliters is 150cc?

150CC equals 150ml. Because cubic centimeters can be represented by cc. Both cubic centimeters and milliliters (ml) are units of volume. And 1cc = 1 cubic centimeter, 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter, so 1cc = 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter. That is, 1cc equals 1 milliliter. Engine Displacement: Motorcycle 150CC refers to the engine displacement of the vehicle. Engine displacement, also known as cylinder volume, refers to the space volume between the piston moving from the bottom dead center to the top dead center in the cylinder, that is, the volume of discharged gas. The larger this volume, the stronger the engine's power. Motorcycle Displacement: 150CC is commonly referred to as a 150 motorcycle, while if it's 125CC, it's called a 125 motorcycle.

How Many Gears Are There?

Nowadays, the number of gears in a transmission is generally between 4 and 8. In the gears of a transmission, the lower-numbered gears are called low gears, while the higher-numbered gears are called high gears. Introduction to the Number of Gears: The number of gears usually refers to the quantity of forward gears in a geared stepped transmission. The more gears there are, the better the vehicle adapts to different driving conditions, which can help reduce fuel consumption. Principle of Gears: The power output from the engine crankshaft is transmitted through the clutch and directly input to the transmission's input end. At this point, the engine speed is high, but the torque is small, making it unable to directly drive the wheels. It must go through a series of steps to reduce speed while increasing torque to propel the wheels forward. The number of gears also significantly affects power performance. For example, if there are more gears, the first gear can have a larger gear ratio, allowing it to output higher torque when starting in first gear.

How many points will be deducted for reversing on the ramp before entering the highway?

Reversing on the ramp before entering the highway generally results in an immediate deduction of 12 points, along with a fine. If an accident occurs on the highway, criminal liability may also be incurred. Here are some precautions for highway driving: Highway speed tips: On roads with speed limit signs, you must control your speed within the specified range to avoid being photographed for speeding; Comply with regulations: Once a vehicle enters the highway lane, strictly adhere to the principle of "lane division and each vehicle in its own lane" and the speed regulations. Choose the correct lane based on your speed, do not cross lines, do not drive on the dividing line, and do not occupy the emergency lane; Maintain distance: Highways are equipped with special markings to indicate the distance between vehicles. These can be used to measure the distance between your vehicle and the one in front. Under normal circumstances, the longitudinal distance on the highway should be slightly greater than the hourly speed value.
