Use the push-start method by engaging 2nd or 3rd gear, depressing the clutch, and releasing it once the vehicle gains speed. Prepare jumper cables, position the vehicles close but not touching, identify positive and negative terminals, then connect them with the cables. Keep a car emergency power supply in the vehicle, connect it to the battery with cables, then start the engine directly.

What causes severe shaking when driving at 70 mph?

Severe shaking when driving at 70 mph is generally caused by improper wheel balancing or four-wheel alignment. It is recommended to take the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Other possible causes: Excessive tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too high, the vehicle will bounce more when driving on bumpy roads, and the body is more likely to shake at high speeds, increasing the risk of a tire blowout. Generally, the recommended tire pressure is around 2.5 bar. Severe tire wear: If the tires are severely worn and the tread is uneven, it can also cause the car to shake at high speeds. In such cases, the tires should be repaired or replaced promptly.

Is the gear shifting project in Subject 3 performed independently or based on voice prompts?

Whether it is performed independently or based on voice prompts varies by region, depending on whether the exam area provides voice prompts. If there are no voice prompts, the student must choose an appropriate time and road section to complete the project before reaching the destination. If there are voice prompts, the student must wait until the voice announcement is finished before starting the project. After starting the gear shifting, first press the accelerator to increase the speed to 25 km/h in 2nd gear, then press the clutch to shift to 3rd gear, release the clutch, and press the accelerator to increase the speed to 30 km/h-35 km/h in 3rd gear before shifting to 4th gear, then downshift to 3rd gear. Gear shifting method for Subject 3: Start in 1st gear, quickly shift to 2nd gear after starting and accelerating, then shift to 3rd gear after further acceleration, and finally shift to 4th gear. Downshifting method: Downshifting requires first pressing the brake to reduce speed, then pressing the clutch to downshift. Quickly press the clutch, slowly release the clutch, gradually press the accelerator, and gradually release the accelerator. When preparing to shift gears, first gradually release the accelerator, but if the accelerator is not fully released when the clutch is pressed, it can still be lifted immediately without affecting the car's stability.

Can Stolen Cash in the Car Be Recovered?

The car owner can choose to report the theft of cash in the car to the police. If there is a camera installed in the car that captures evidence, it can help the police solve the case, and the chances of recovery are high. Principles for storing small items: If there are small items such as coins, buttons, paper clips, or magnetic cards in the car, they should be cleaned up or stored in time to prevent them from falling into the gaps of the car's interior, causing button malfunctions or driving noises. The front row generally has multiple storage areas available, including the glove box, armrest box, and sunglasses holder. Precautions: Although the rear seat has more space, heavy objects should not be placed there because, during high-speed emergency braking or collision, heavy objects can rapidly impact the front seats, causing harm to the front passengers.

Can a Lighter Fire in a Car Be Claimed for Compensation?

Insurance companies cannot compensate for vehicle damage caused by a lighter fire in the car, mainly because this situation does not fall within the coverage of vehicle loss insurance or spontaneous combustion insurance. This involves the cause of the vehicle fire. In insurance liability, different causes of fire result in different liabilities. Based on the cause of the fire, insurance liability can be divided into two scenarios: fire and spontaneous combustion. Fire is defined as follows: a disaster caused by uncontrolled burning (i.e., a violent oxidation reaction with heat, light, and flames) originating from a fire source outside the insured vehicle itself, in terms of time or space. Spontaneous combustion, as defined in the explanatory notes attached to the policy, refers to a fire caused by issues with the vehicle's electrical system, wiring, fuel lines, fuel supply system, gas supply system, cargo itself, or friction during vehicle operation. For fires, most cases are covered under vehicle loss insurance. The determination of the fire cause by the insurance company will be based on the fire department's report. During the investigation of a fire incident, the insurance company will focus on distinguishing between fire and spontaneous combustion.
