Like Aladdin's lamp, the vehicle warning light is the oil pressure warning light, indicating that the oil level is too low. Here is an introduction to automotive engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is known as the "blood" of the car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance and provide certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

That genie lamp symbol I've seen a few times while driving is usually the oil pressure warning light on the dashboard. The shape resembling Aladdin's oil lamp is designed for instant problem recognition. When illuminated, it indicates low engine oil pressure - possibly due to insufficient oil level or pump failure. The first time I encountered it, I ignored it and nearly destroyed my engine, later costing me a fortune in repairs. Immediate action is advised: stop the car, turn off the engine, open the hood and check oil level with the dipstick. Oil should be between MIN and MAX marks - if low, try adding a liter but don't force drive to a shop. Potential causes include leaks, aged oil or sensor failure. Monthly oil level checks can prevent this, and avoid long drives in hot weather. Remember: safety first - don't risk driving to minimize damage.

Right-angle turn: Do not cross the line, complete it in one go without stopping. Hill start and stop: The examinee must drive to the hill start test point, with the front wheels stopping exactly on the line. After passing this, the examinee must perform a hill start without rolling backward. Any mistake will result in point deductions or failure. Curve driving: This involves driving through a lane with two turns greater than 40 degrees in one go without stopping, crossing the line, or going out of bounds. The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deductions of 20, 10, or 5 points. A score of 80 or above is required to pass.

Can I take the Subject 4 exam without my ID?

You cannot take the Subject 4 exam without your ID. Here are the specific requirements for the Subject 4 exam: Regulations: Items required for the Subject 4 exam include an ID card, student card, exam records, etc. Some locations may also require a photo for the driver's license. Typically, if the driving school schedules the Subject 4 exam on your behalf, you only need to bring your ID card. Before the driving school organizes a group trip to the vehicle management office for the exam, they will provide the student card and records to the student. Important Notes: It is essential to understand that the ID card, student card, and records are indispensable materials. Missing any one of these will prevent you from taking the Subject 4 exam. Some people schedule the Subject 4 exam online themselves, but due to restrictions on the driving school retrieving records from the vehicle management office, they may not receive the records and thus cannot take the exam. Therefore, if you plan to schedule the exam yourself, you should first communicate with the driving school to see if the records can be retrieved.

What does ACC mean on a car?

ACC on a car stands for Adaptive Cruise Control, which is an intelligent automatic control system developed from the existing cruise control technology. During vehicle operation, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensor collects speed signals. The adaptive cruise system only works when the vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h, and when the speed drops below 25 km/h, manual control by the driver is required. Through system software upgrades, the adaptive cruise control system can achieve stop-and-go functionality to handle frequent stops and starts in urban driving conditions.
