Last time I visited a toy store, I saw someone asking about this! Mattel is not a car brand at all, but an American toy company that produces Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels toy cars. Their Hot Wheels cars are particularly famous, featuring all-metal bodies with cool paint jobs that boys love to collect. But if you really want to buy a real car, you won't find it from this brand—you'll need to look at proper automakers like Toyota or Volkswagen.

I once heard someone mention Mattel at a car modification show, but actually, it's a toy giant. Their hottest products are the 1:64 scale alloy cars, with many licensed replicas of classic supercars. Although they can't be driven on the road, collectors find it quite appealing to line them up in their garages. For seasoned car enthusiasts, collecting complete sets of limited-edition car models is even harder than buying real cars.

What Causes the Squealing Noise When Braking?

Brake noise can be caused by various reasons, generally including the following aspects: 1. Running-in period for new cars or newly replaced brake pads leading to brake disc noise. New cars or newly replaced brake pads have a running-in period during which some noise may occur. Typically, the noise will disappear after the car has been driven for a few hundred kilometers. 2. Normal signal of ABS system activation. During emergency braking, the brake pedal may produce a continuous sound similar to 'thud-thud-thud,' sometimes accompanied by a 'pedal pulsation' phenomenon. This is caused by the activation of the ABS system and is normal. 3. Severe wear of brake pads triggering warning. Severe wear of brake pads can also cause brake noise. Most brake pads have a warning indicator. When the brake pads wear to their limit, the warning indicator will rub against the brake disc, producing a sharp sound. At this point, the brake pads should be replaced immediately to avoid accidents. 4. Severe wear of the brake disc. Severe wear of the brake disc can form deep grooves on the disc. Friction between the brake disc and the edges of the grooves can produce noise. If the grooves are not deep, the edges of the brake pads can be polished. If the grooves are deep, the brake disc needs to be replaced. 5. Foreign objects between the brake disc and brake pads. Small stones or a water film may exist between the brake disc and brake pads, which can cause noise. This can often be resolved by pressing the brakes a few more times or by removing the small stones.

How many seconds should the turn signal be on?

Turn signals should be on for 3 seconds, which corresponds to the turn signal chiming 3 times. This duration is because the normal flashing frequency of the turn signal relay is approximately 1 Hz, meaning 60 times per minute, or about 1 flash per second. If the frequency suddenly increases, it may indicate a fault with one side of the turn signal or its circuit. Operation method of turn signals: Generally, the turn signal switch in vehicles is installed on the left side of the steering wheel. The operation can be summarized as "up for right, down for left"—pushing the lever upward (clockwise) indicates a right turn, while pushing it downward (counterclockwise) indicates a left turn. However, with advancements in automotive technology, many vehicles now feature a "one-touch three-flash" quick function on the hazard light switch. By lightly tapping the lever, the turn signal will flash three times and then automatically turn off. This allows drivers to avoid the hassle of manually turning off the signal when changing lanes or overtaking. Penalties for not using turn signals as required: When changing lanes, the turn signal must be on for at least 3 seconds. Failing to use the turn signal as required before changing lanes, turning, or temporarily parking by the roadside while driving a motor vehicle will result in a 1-point penalty. Not using the signal at all or using it for less than 3 seconds is considered a violation of the turn signal usage regulations. Therefore, the signal must be on for more than 3 seconds.

What is the normal tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz e300?

The normal tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz e300 is approximately between 2.4bar and 2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be displayed on the multifunction display screen. After driving for a few minutes, the current tire pressure of each tire will be shown in the maintenance menu of the multifunction display. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causing heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area, and abnormal wear; exponentially increased friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly rising tire temperature, softening of the tire, and sharp decline in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator lights up (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle without a seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, the tire pressure was not reset in time, causing the tire pressure monitoring system to still record the previous data, and the tire pressure monitoring indicator will light up. At this time, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to come on. For sensor damage issues, only a new replacement can be installed.

Will running a red light on a motorcycle result in penalties?

Running a red light will be captured by electronic surveillance cameras because motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles. According to Article 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," running a red light will result in a deduction of 6 points. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to move when the red light is on, prohibiting passage. Determining a red-light violation requires at least three pieces of photographic evidence: the vehicle not having left the stop line when the red light is on; the vehicle passing through the intersection when the red light is on; and the vehicle having crossed the line and continuing to move forward when the red light is on. Common scenarios of running a red light: When the red light is on, if the front wheel touches the stop line but the vehicle stops immediately, it is not considered running a red light. However, if the vehicle continues to move, it will be counted as running a red light. According to Article 3 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," if a vehicle completely crosses the stop line and stops on the pedestrian crossing after the red light turns on, this is not considered running a red light but is classified as over-the-line parking, which incurs a 3-point deduction. If the vehicle moves noticeably on the pedestrian crossing or obstructs pedestrian passage, it will be judged as running a red light. If the front wheel crosses the stop line and then reverses back behind the stop line when the red light is on, this constitutes illegal reversing, which may result in a fine. If this causes a rear-end collision, the driver will bear primary responsibility. If the vehicle crosses both the stop line and the pedestrian crossing and reaches the opposite side of the intersection after the red light turns on, this is considered running a red light. Ways to avoid running a red light: Follow arrow signals if available; otherwise, observe the circular light. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light starts flashing, if the vehicle is close and moving fast, it should proceed, as braking may not stop it in time to avoid crossing the stop line. If the vehicle is far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, it should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever approaching a crosswalk, stop line, or intersection.

How Many Chances Are There for Subject 2 Test?

For the Subject 2 test, if you fail the first attempt, you are allowed one retake. If you do not take the retake or still fail the retake, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of rescheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the fifth rescheduled test is still failed, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants of large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2) include: pile test, slope fixed-point parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turning, limited-width gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. The test items for small vehicles (C1, C2) include: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, slope fixed-point parking and starting (C2 has been canceled), right-angle turning, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve)—five mandatory items (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll card collection).
