For the Subject 3 driving test, you need to bring a valid ID card, your file, and the proof of successful appointment. Below are some important notes for the Subject 3 test: 1. Light operation: Do not flick the lever too quickly to avoid the system failing to detect it. After turning on the indicator light, be sure to hold it down to prevent it from turning off due to steering wheel movement. The light simulation test has a time limit, and being too early or too late will affect the result. 2. Speed and gear: Stay calm when shifting gears to avoid selecting the wrong gear. Press the clutch firmly; otherwise, shifting gears will be difficult, and nervousness may even cause the engine to stall. 3. Straight-line driving: Keep your gaze as far ahead as possible and find a reference point. Avoid staring at the front of the engine compartment, as this can easily cause the car to drift. If the car starts to tilt, make minor adjustments to the steering wheel—avoid large turns, and remember to return the wheel to its original position after turning.

Preparing for the Subject 3 test, I bring my ID card—the most crucial item. Without it, you can't even enter the examination site. Then, you must carry the driver's license learning certificate. Driving schools usually provide a student ID or file to prove you've completed all the required training. Don’t forget the exam appointment slip or the reservation code on your phone, as the examiner will verify your name and time. Some small items are also useful, like spare change, just in case you need to pay for a retake or buy a bottle of water. It’s advisable to bring gloves—not mandatory, but wearing them can help you grip the steering wheel more steadily. Personal experience tells me that arriving early at the test site, familiarizing yourself with the test car, and sitting in it for a few minutes to get a feel for the brakes and accelerator can ease nerves and increase the chances of passing on the first try. In short, the key is to have all your documents ready, and you can add other items based on personal preference.

Which Button is for Defogging?

There are two defogging buttons in a car. One is for the front windshield defogging, marked with a fan-shaped symbol containing three upward wavy lines. The other is for the rear windshield defogging, marked with a rectangular symbol containing three upward wavy lines. Here are the related details: 1. Defogging: The principle of fog formation on car windows is due to the temperature difference between the 'cold outside and warm inside.' The temperature inside the car is higher than outside, leading to fog formation. Turning on the A/C switch activates the cooling state, which has the advantage of quickly removing fog but is not suitable for winter. Another method is using the heating system for defogging. This method is also effective, but it takes a few minutes to work. 2. Benefits: The car defogging button can reduce moisture, fog, and frost on the front and rear windshields and the exterior rearview mirrors, improving the driver's visibility and making driving safer.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When a Car Fails to Start?

When a car fails to start and produces a clicking sound, it is usually caused by the following reasons: 1. Insufficient battery voltage: When the battery does not provide enough power, it cannot drive the engine to reach the starting speed, preventing the car from starting. The repeated engagement of the magnetic switch and starter relay produces a clicking sound, which is relatively soft and occurs once per starting attempt. 2. Excessive intake manifold carbon deposits: Excessive carbon buildup on the throttle body, idle air control valve, etc., prevents the engine from achieving the required air-fuel ratio, leading to failure to start. The engine continuously attempts to start, producing a clicking sound. 3. Insufficient fuel supply in the fuel system: This issue is similar to excessive intake manifold carbon deposits, as it also prevents the engine from achieving the required air-fuel ratio, causing continuous starting attempts and a clicking sound. 4. Ignition system failure: This directly prevents the engine from starting, resulting in continuous starting attempts and a clicking sound.

How to Handle Traffic Violations for a Non-Personal Vehicle?

There are several methods to handle traffic violations for a non-personal vehicle: 1. Visit a designated location to complete the procedure: Bring the vehicle's driving license, driver's license, and ID card to the location specified on the penalty notice. After completing the traffic violation penalty procedure, pay the fine at the bank. 2. Use the Ministry of Public Security's Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the traffic management mobile app: Traffic violations for non-personal vehicles can also be handled through the Ministry of Public Security's Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the traffic management mobile app. The self-service traffic violation handling feature on these platforms has been expanded to include non-personal vehicles. Drivers can register non-personal small cars under their name via the traffic management mobile app or directly at the traffic management department's service window.

What is Brake Fluid?

Brake fluid is a liquid medium used in hydraulic braking systems to transmit braking pressure, employed in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems. As an indispensable component of the braking system, brake fluid serves as a force-transmitting medium. Since liquids are incompressible, the pressure output from the master cylinder is directly transmitted to the wheel cylinders through the brake fluid. The working pressure of brake fluid in the braking system is typically 2MPa, and can reach as high as 4 to 5MPa. All liquids share the characteristic of being incompressible; in a sealed container or a pipeline filled with liquid, when pressure is applied to the liquid, it is quickly and evenly transmitted to all parts of the liquid. Hydraulic braking systems operate based on this principle.

How to Permanently Disable Auto Start-Stop?

Auto start-stop cannot be permanently disabled; it can only be turned off each time. Generally, vehicles equipped with auto start-stop have this function enabled by default. To disable it, the driver can simply press the auto start-stop button, and the instrument panel will usually indicate that the system is turned off. If you wish to use this function again, press the button to reactivate it. Auto Start-Stop: Auto start-stop refers to a system where the engine, during normal operation, automatically shuts off when the car is temporarily stopped, such as at a red light, and automatically restarts when the car begins to move. Principle: It works by incorporating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop functionality into a traditional engine, allowing the engine to completely shut off when the conditions for idle stopping are met.

How long does a car need to be parked before starting it?

You should start the car if it has been parked for half a month. Here’s some related information about starting the car: Function of the starting system: The starter converts the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to start the engine. The starting system is designed to transition a stationary engine into an operational state. An external force must first rotate the engine crankshaft, initiating the up-and-down movement of the pistons, allowing the cylinders to draw in the combustible air-fuel mixture before proceeding to the subsequent working cycles. Effects of not starting the car for a long time: When a car remains inactive for an extended period, most of the lubricating oil adhering to the components that require lubrication will flow back to the oil pan due to gravity. This reduces the lubrication effect on moving parts. Without the protective oil film, metal is prone to react with oxygen, forming an oxide layer, which increases friction and makes starting the engine difficult.
