What is the method for matching speed and gear in a manual transmission car?

Manual transmission car speed and gear matching method is: 1. First gear: 0 to 15 km/h; 2. Second gear: 15 to 25 km/h; 3. Third gear: 25 to 35 km/h; 4. Fourth gear: 35 to 40 km/h; 5. Fifth gear: can be used above 40 km/h. The hazards of mismatched speed and gear are: 1. Accelerated wear of mechanical components leading to premature damage of engine and transmission; 2. Insufficient engine power causing stalling or engine strain leading to vehicle vibration. Manual transmission refers to manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear engagement device inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation.

I've been driving manual transmission cars for decades, relying on experience to match speed and gear. When starting off, shift into 1st gear and gently press the accelerator for smooth acceleration, then shift to 2nd gear when reaching 15-20 km/h for a seamless transition without jerking. During normal driving, shifting to 3rd gear at 40 km/h feels the smoothest, while 4th gear is just right at 60 km/h. On highways, shift to 5th or 6th gear above 80 km/h, keeping the engine RPM around 2000 for fuel efficiency and quiet operation. The engine sound is the best teacher: loud roaring means high RPM and it's time to upshift, while shuddering indicates low RPM and requires downshifting. I remember once climbing a steep hill without timely downshifting, which strained the engine badly and cost a lot in repairs. When going downhill, shift to lower gears like 2nd or 3rd to assist in braking and prevent overheating the brakes. In congested urban areas, anticipate traffic and prepare in advance—proper gear matching not only extends the car's lifespan but also makes the journey more comfortable and safe. Practice makes perfect for developing the right feel. Pay extra attention to RPM matching during cold starts or heavy loads to avoid jerking and maintain driving comfort.

Must You Pass Subject One Before Taking Subject Two?

According to Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": The vehicle management office shall arrange the test according to the scheduled test site and time. After passing the Subject One test, applicants can schedule the Subject Two or Subject Three road driving skills test. Students must first pass the Subject One test before they can schedule the Subject Two or Subject Three road driving skills test. The registration requirement for Subject Two is completing 26 study hours, including 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, 3 hours of simulated driving, and 21 hours of practical operation. For a C1 driver's license, you can schedule the Subject Two test online 10 days after completing Subject One. Each Subject Two test appointment comes with two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test ends, and you can reschedule the Subject Two test after 10 days. During the validity period of the driver's license learning, the number of Subject Two test appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth appointment, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driver's license, you need to start over from Subject One. Subject Two test content: Completing test items by driving a motor vehicle within a designated area; Mastering motor vehicle driving skills; Judging the spatial position of the motor vehicle. Subject Two, also known as the small road test, includes five required items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Subject Two test precautions: After getting into the car, adjust the seat and rearview mirror to a suitable position and state, and always fasten the seat belt. When parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. When stopping on a slope, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and simultaneously press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. When turning at a right angle, find the point and react quickly to turn, coordinating with the car's speed to prevent deviation. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down and drive carefully. Those with good driving sense during practice can pass through quickly. When reversing into a garage, control the speed, find the reference point, and make slight adjustments when observing deviations in the rearview mirror. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three is divided into two parts, referring to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject Four.

What size tires does the Haval F7x use?

Haval F7x uses two sizes of tires, one is 225/55r19, and the other is 225/65r17. The tire is the only part of the car that comes into contact with the ground, and this component is very important for the safety and driving stability of the car. Tires are rubber products, and this component needs to be replaced regularly. Rubber products will age after long-term use. It is recommended that owners replace their tires every four years. The body dimensions of the Haval F7x are 4620 mm in length, 1846 mm in width, and 1660 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2725 mm. The front suspension type of the Haval F7x is MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension type is double-wishbone independent suspension, and the body structure is a load-bearing type.

What is the ABS system in motor vehicles?

ABS system stands for Anti-lock Braking System. The following is an introduction to the ABS system: Advantages of the ABS system: When the wheel is about to reach the next lock point, the pressure of the brake fluid causes the airbag to act repeatedly, which can act 60-120 times per second, equivalent to continuous braking and releasing, similar to mechanical intermittent braking. Therefore, the ABS anti-lock system can prevent loss of directional control and wheel skidding during emergency braking, ensuring that the wheels are not locked during braking. This prevents the tires from rubbing against the ground at a single point, thereby increasing friction and achieving a braking efficiency of over 90%. Characteristics of the ABS system: The anti-lock braking system can improve the safety factor of emergency braking while driving. In other words, cars without ABS are more prone to wheel lock-up when emergency braking is applied in critical situations, meaning the steering wheel cannot be turned, which increases the risk factor and can easily lead to serious consequences.
