Antifreeze is located in the lower left corner of the engine compartment in a car. The functions of antifreeze are: 1. To provide anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. To prevent scale formation and avoid reducing the heat dissipation effect of the radiator; 3. To ensure the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Precautions for using antifreeze include: 1. The antifreeze level needs to be checked regularly, and it should be replenished promptly if it falls below the lower limit; 2. Observe whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediment, and replace it in time if there is turbidity; 3. Different car models have different antifreeze colors, so they cannot be mixed; 4. Before winter, the freezing point of the antifreeze should be measured to prevent it from freezing.

What is the speed requirement for Subject 3 driving test?

During the Subject 3 driving test, the vehicle speed should be maintained within the range of 20 km/h to 35 km/h. It is essential to balance the gear selection with the corresponding speed during the test. The speed range for first gear is approximately 1 km/h to 10 km/h, second gear is around 10 km/h to 25 km/h, third gear is about 20 km/h to 35 km/h, and fourth gear is roughly 30 km/h to 45 km/h. Candidates should mentally prepare these ranges in advance to make the test easier. Additional precautions during the Subject 3 test include: Upon entering the vehicle, do not rush to start. First, adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions according to your comfort, inspect the surrounding environment, and ensure everything is correct before fastening the seatbelt and starting the vehicle. During the test, when making left or right turns or performing a U-turn, ensure the turn signal remains on for at least 3 seconds without turning off, and match the speed with the appropriate gear. When passing through areas like bus stops or crosswalks, do not exceed 30 km/h. Perform gear shifting operations promptly within the specified time. During straight-line driving, maintain a speed of at least 40 km/h. Always use first gear when starting at traffic lights.

What does it mean to have not yet participated in driver training for the subject?

There are many reasons why the reservation for Subject 1 shows "not yet participated in driver training," with the most common being related to documentation, training hours, and on-site training, especially document review. After enrolling in a driving school, it is generally necessary to complete registration through the school. Once the school completes the registration and uploads the information to the system, the traffic management department will review the candidate's file. Below are specific details about driver training: On-site Training for Driving Test: On-site training for the driving test usually involves volunteering on the streets, primarily correcting and stopping traffic violations by pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, as well as providing traffic guidance and promoting traffic awareness. Driving Test Training Courses: The training courses mainly cover some traffic rules and the basic structure of motor vehicles, helping candidates gain a preliminary understanding of cars and traffic knowledge before formal training, which facilitates future practice and exams.

Does washing a hot motorcycle have any impact?

Washing a hot motorcycle does have an impact and can cause damage to the engine. Here are specific details about washing a hot motorcycle: Shaking: Try to avoid washing the motorcycle when it's at high temperatures, especially after high-speed riding. Due to the physical principle of thermal expansion and contraction, it may cause the brake disc to deform in a very short time, leading to shaking during braking. Cylinder Block Cracking: Do not directly spray water on the engine when the motorcycle is hot, as it can cause the cylinder block to crack, resulting in unnecessary damage. When using a high-pressure water gun to clean the engine, it's best to adjust the spray to a scattered pattern to avoid water entering the connectors.

Does a Leaking Exhaust Pipe Require a Comprehensive Repair?

Whether a leaking exhaust pipe requires a comprehensive repair depends on the severity of the oil leakage. If the oil leakage is minor, it may be due to inherent defects in the vehicle, so the issue is not significant and does not require a comprehensive repair. However, if the oil leakage from the exhaust pipe is severe, a comprehensive repair is necessary. Severe oil leakage can lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced acceleration power, accelerated engine wear, and even potential engine damage. The function of the car's exhaust pipe: Under certain specific operating conditions (such as heavy load), the exhaust pipe directs the engine's exhaust gases into the intake manifold, where they mix with the air-fuel mixture and participate in combustion. Since the exhaust gases cannot burn, this process slows down the combustion speed and lowers the combustion temperature within the cylinders, thereby improving emissions. Additionally, the exhaust pipe channels the gases inside the engine's crankcase (which include gases from the combustion chamber entering the cylinders and oil vapors) into the intake manifold to participate in combustion. Nitrogen and oxygen only undergo chemical reactions under high temperature and pressure conditions. Therefore, the exhaust gas recirculation system is designed to allow a small amount of exhaust gas to re-enter the intake manifold and participate in combustion again. Since the exhaust gases cannot burn, their role is to lower the temperature inside the engine cylinders and reduce the levels of pollutants.

Is it acceptable not to transfer insurance when transferring vehicle ownership?

It is not acceptable to transfer vehicle ownership without transferring the insurance, as it may lead to many troubles. Even in the event of an accident, the insurance company may refuse to settle the claim. Therefore, if the vehicle ownership is transferred, it is best to transfer the insurance as well. The original owner and the new owner only need to bring their valid ID cards, insurance policy, new vehicle registration certificate, driving license, transaction receipts, etc., to the insurance company to complete the insurance transfer procedures. The documents required from the original owner for a used car transfer include: registration certificate, driving license, and ID card. The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another city, a residence permit or temporary residence permit is required. First, a vehicle evaluation is required for the transfer of ownership. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated vehicle price, and other fees include license plates, driving license, etc. The original commercial insurance of the vehicle can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions when buying a used car: Incomplete procedures. Complete procedures for a used car include: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), driving license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee procedures, and compulsory insurance. If the vehicle registration certificate or driving license is missing, or if there are arrears in compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, it will bring endless trouble to the buyer. Therefore, when buying a car, if the seller cannot provide complete procedures, consumers should be especially vigilant. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers like to judge the condition of the car by the odometer, and sellers often take advantage of this psychology to tamper with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not only a record of usage intensity but also a recorder of the maintenance and replacement of other parts of the vehicle. If the buyer performs maintenance according to the tampered odometer display, it will bring a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering "external injuries". When consumers choose a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are traces of repair around the front face, rear, and A, B, C pillars, the car may have been involved in a major accident. "Tuning the heart" to raise the price. Many consumers often pay too much attention to the "heart" of the car when buying a car and ignore the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this psychology of consumers by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle's "heart" appear younger, thereby raising the price.
