If a car is dented all over by hail, the dents on the body caused by hail can be flattened using metalworking techniques, followed by applying putty and repainting. The process and purpose of vehicle repainting are introduced as follows: Vehicle Repainting Process: Cleaning, inspection, evaluation, and masking; masking and degreasing; removing old paint; applying putty; sanding putty and old coatings; degreasing and masking; applying primer; sanding the intermediate primer. Purpose of Vehicle Repainting: Protective Function: Cars are widely used, have extensive activity ranges, and operate in complex environments. They are often exposed to moisture, microbes, ultraviolet rays, and other acidic or alkaline gases and liquids, and sometimes suffer from abrasions or scratches. Applying paint on the surface can protect the car from damage and extend its service life.

What is the passing score for the driving license subject 2 test?

Subject 2 has a full score of 100, 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 buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, 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 small vehicles C1 and C2 include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as the S-curve), which are the five mandatory test items (some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed card collection). The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curve, turning at a right angle, passing through a width-limited gate, passing through continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. If the subject 2 test is failed on the first attempt, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or is still failed, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for subject 2 and subject 3 road driving skills cannot exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated.

What to Do When the Time on the Car Display is Inaccurate?

The solutions for inaccurate time on the car display are: 1. Power on the vehicle, there is a button each at the bottom left and right corners of the dashboard, these two buttons can be used to quickly adjust the time; 2. The left button is the selection key, pressing it once adjusts the hour; 3. The right button is the adjustment key, pressing it once increases the value, adjust the hour first and then the minutes; 4. Press the left button twice consecutively to adjust the minutes. The car display, also known as the multi-information display, presents data from the car's computer in a screen format, including average fuel consumption, instant fuel consumption, outside temperature, average speed, driving time, single trip mileage, and other data, allowing the owner to keep track of vehicle information at any time.

Is it necessary to turn on the left turn signal when starting on an uphill slope?

Yes, it is necessary to turn on the left turn signal. Tips for starting on an uphill slope: After the car is parked and stabilized, firmly pull the handbrake, shift the gear directly to first gear without releasing the clutch, pull the handbrake backward, and press the handbrake button. Be careful not to release the handbrake; it should be pulled backward. Once all preparations for starting are completed, release the foot brake with your right foot, return the throttle, and then appropriately press the accelerator with your right foot to maintain a certain engine speed. Lift the clutch pedal with your left foot, first quickly to near the semi-engaged position, then slowly lift the clutch pedal while paying attention to changes in the engine sound. When the engine sound becomes muffled and the speed drops, quickly stop and hold your left foot still while pressing the accelerator again with your right foot to ensure sufficient power for a smooth start. Slowly release the handbrake. When the car starts to move forward, keep the clutch pedal still to ensure a smooth start, then slowly lift the clutch pedal until it is fully engaged. Press the accelerator twice: after the first press, lift the clutch while listening for changes in the engine sound. Stopping your left foot when there is a change is key, and pressing the accelerator again ensures a smooth start. Slowly releasing the handbrake and stabilizing your left foot are crucial for a smooth start. Structure and principle of the turn signal: Resistor-type turn signals can be further divided into thermal filament type (electrothermal) and vane type (bounce type). Electronic types can be divided into hybrid type (with contact-type relays and electronic components) and fully electronic type (without relays). For example, the bounce-type flasher uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction as the driving force to make the spring plate produce sudden movements, thereby connecting and disconnecting the contacts to achieve light flashing.

What does it mean when a light comes on the vehicle dashboard?

When a light comes on the vehicle dashboard, it indicates three types of indicators: daily operation indicators, warning function indicators, and malfunction indicators. Daily Operation Indicators: These are the most common lights seen during normal driving, including turn signal indicators, light indicators, seat belt indicators, cruise control indicators, parking indicators, etc. They simply serve to notify the driver about the operational status of various vehicle functions. Warning Function Indicators: Examples include fuel level indicators and windshield washer fluid level indicators. These lights warn the driver that corresponding fluids need to be replenished as soon as possible to resolve the issue. Malfunction Indicators: These include engine exhaust system malfunction lights, oil system malfunction lights, battery and charging system malfunction lights, etc. These malfunction indicators rarely illuminate under normal circumstances. However, when they do light up, it signifies that the vehicle has developed a fault or abnormality. Minor issues may affect driving safety, while major ones could potentially damage the vehicle, requiring immediate inspection and repair.

Is it possible to replace only one tire after 3000 kilometers?

It is not necessary to replace two tires after 3000 kilometers. If the tire wear is not severe, you can replace just one tire. Function of car tires: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle. They directly contact the road surface and work together with the car's suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. The important role of tires in vehicles is increasingly recognized. Tire classification: Tires can be classified by size into full-size tires and non-full-size spare tires. Full-size tires: Full-size spare tires have the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size tires: These spare tires have slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so they can only be used temporarily and should only be installed on non-driving wheels. Additionally, the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h.
