If the first maintenance is overdue, it is recommended that the car owner go to the 4S store for maintenance as soon as possible. The first maintenance is free of charge. The mileage for the first car maintenance is generally 5,000 kilometers, and only the engine oil and oil filter need to be replaced. Engine oil is very important for the engine and is called the blood of the engine. It plays the roles of lubrication, heat dissipation, cleaning, and sealing in the engine. The main tasks of the first car maintenance include: 1. Replacing the engine oil: Due to insufficient running-in between various parts of the car during the break-in period, debris is prone to occur, and there are more impurities mixed in the engine oil, which cannot provide good lubrication; 2. Replacing the three filters: The three filters of the car can provide a better working environment for the engine operation, avoiding impurities from mixing into the engine and affecting normal driving; 3. Checking whether the car's coolant level meets the specified requirements.

How Many Practical Training Hours Are Required for Subject 3?

Driver's license Subject 3 requires 24 training hours. The training hours for each subject from Subject 1 to Subject 4 are as follows: Subject 1 requires 12 hours; Subject 2 requires 16 hours; Subject 3 requires 24 hours; Subject 4 requires 10 hours. Each training hour is defined as 1 hour, with teaching time no less than 45 minutes. Subject 3 requires a total of 24 hours, and the combined hours for Subjects 1 to 3 amount to 62 hours. Students must complete the required training hours for each subject to be eligible to register for the corresponding exam. If the required hours are not completed, the exam cannot be scheduled. Additional Information: Notes for Subject 3 Exam: Excessive distance for pulling over: After completing the subject, when the examiner gives the command to 'pull over,' it is almost the prelude to success. Making a mistake at this point would be a waste of previous efforts. The distance should not be too long; as long as it is not at an intersection or on a solid line, stopping should be decisive. Upon hearing the command and assessing the road conditions, if there is no solid line or if you are too close to an intersection, quickly turn on the right signal, check the rearview mirror, brake to reduce speed, and merge. Right foot placement: When not pressing the accelerator, the foot must be placed on the brake. Excessive rightward deviation of the vehicle: Because the vehicle is too far to the right, after completing the bumpy road and a 100-meter acceleration and deceleration test, there should be no major issues in terms of completing the subject. However, if the vehicle is noticeably tilted to the right during driving, the vehicle must remain stable during the exam.

How many points are deducted for accidentally running a red light?

According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations', driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal regulations results in a deduction of 6 points. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. According to Article 26 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law': Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44: When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection, it shall proceed according to traffic signals, traffic signs, traffic markings, or the direction of traffic police. Based on the following points, running a red light can be avoided: First look at the arrow light, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of indicator lights: arrow traffic lights and circular indicator traffic lights. In the case of arrow lights, first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, a right turn is permitted; when encountering an arrow signal light with a red right arrow, a right turn is not allowed, otherwise it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light is on, do not let the front of the vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, and it will be penalized as running a red light; when the front wheels have just crossed the stop line and the signal turns red, passage through the intersection is prohibited, and you should wait for the green light before proceeding. Check the green light countdown to decide whether to proceed: When the green light is flashing, if there is a countdown, you can judge based on the countdown; if there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, you may proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking; if the speed is not high and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians shall follow the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may pass if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to special vehicles: Yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks. If caught by surveillance cameras while yielding, the act of running a red light will not be recorded during manual review. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is very low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. The photos of the violation may be blurred, and if you accidentally run a red light, the traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, you will inevitably run many red lights, and 12 points are not enough. After delivering the patient, provide proof from the hospital or the rescued person to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records can be cleared. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid traffic accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police.

How Long Does Beidou Fatigue Driving Record Automatically Clear?

Beidou fatigue driving records cannot be cleared. The Beidou system can analyze vehicle driving trajectories, driving time, fatigue driving records, and other information to monitor truck drivers' work and rest patterns and driving habits at all times. Upon detecting fatigue driving behavior, the system will immediately trigger an automatic SMS alert. Fatigue driving records on the vehicle's dashcam will be automatically cleared, or you can choose to connect to a computer to delete them. However, if the vehicle is equipped with GPS and the backend system has fatigue driving alerts enabled, the fatigue driving records will be logged into the traffic department's backend system and permanently stored there. In this case, even if you connect to a computer, you cannot delete the backend records. Fatigue driving mainly refers to continuously driving a motor vehicle for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or resting for less than 20 minutes, as well as driving for more than 8 hours within a 24-hour period. To better enforce fatigue driving regulations, traffic authorities require large trucks, long-distance buses, and other vehicles to be equipped with dashcams and GPS tracking systems, which must be uniformly installed by the companies owning these vehicles.

Will a rice-sized chip in car paint rust?

If the rice-sized paint chip on a car is only a minor scratch that hasn't exposed the metal base, it won't rust. However, if the metal base is exposed, rust will occur. To prevent rusting, you can use a touch-up pen with the same color as the original paint for repair. The lightest paint damage only removes the clear coat on the car's surface without affecting the colored paint or exposing the primer. Such scratches are almost negligible and can be polished away during the next detailing session. More severe damage affects the primer, usually showing a different color in the scratch. For example, black paint will reveal white primer, while white paint will show black or other colored primer. In such cases, polishing alone can't restore it, and repainting is required. The most severe damage completely removes the primer, exposing the bare metal color, which absolutely requires proper treatment for repair. Methods to protect car paint: regular waxing, choosing appropriate car covers, frequent washing, parking in shaded areas, and avoiding sharp objects that could scratch the paint while driving.

Should the clutch be partially engaged or fully released when reversing?

Reversing requires partial clutch engagement. Both reversing and starting can utilize partial clutch engagement. If the clutch is fully released during reversing, the vehicle speed can reach 20km/h, which often leads to frantic situations where the driver cannot properly control the vehicle. Additional information is as follows: Partial clutch engagement: This occurs when the pressure plate just begins to press the clutch friction disc against the flywheel as the clutch pedal is being released. At this point, the pedal release is halted, maintaining the clutch in an unstable, semi-engaged state. This allows the engine to continue running while delivering partial power output through controlled slippage. Partial clutch engagement requires coordination with the throttle: Quickly release the clutch pedal until you notice the engine sound lowering, feel slight vehicle vibration, and observe the tachometer needle dropping - then stop releasing the pedal. On level ground, gradually apply throttle while slowly releasing the clutch.
