Car brake pedal is located in the foot pedal area of the driver's compartment. In manual transmission vehicles, there are three pedals arranged from left to right: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal; while in automatic transmission vehicles, the brake is the leftmost pedal. Relevant details are as follows: Function of the car brake pedal: The brake pedal, as the name suggests, is the pedal that restricts power - specifically the foot brake (service brake) pedal used for deceleration and stopping. It is one of the five major control components in vehicle operation with extremely high frequency of use. How the driver controls it directly affects driving safety. Operation of the car brake pedal: Includes gradual braking (predictive braking), emergency braking, combined braking, and intermittent braking. Generally, during both gradual and emergency braking before wheel lock-up or complete stop, the clutch pedal should be fully depressed to prevent engine stalling, which facilitates speed readjustment.

How many hours of check-in are required for Subject 3 before taking the test?

Different types of driver's licenses require varying numbers of check-in hours for Subject 3. For the commonly tested C1, C2, and C5 licenses, 24 hours of check-in are required; A1 and B1 require 20 hours; A2 requires 22 hours; A3 requires 33 hours; and B2 requires 32 hours. Local regulations: The implementation of check-in rules is not uniform nationwide, and many regions do not require check-ins. Additionally, some areas not only require completing the specified check-in hours but also mandate practicing a certain mileage for Subject 3. Specific details should be confirmed with the driving school or instructor. Check-ins generally require the student to input their fingerprint during practice, and the instructor must swipe their card to prevent cheating or substitution. Some regions have also begun implementing facial recognition for check-ins, which is more convenient. Road test precautions: Walk from the left side of the car to the rear to check road conditions and ensure no one is behind the vehicle, while also confirming whether the car is parked on a slope. After entering the car, close the door firmly (apply slightly more force when the door is about 20 cm from closing to ensure it is securely shut). Present your ID card to the examiner with both hands. Before exiting the car, check the left rearview mirror to confirm safety, then open the door. Remember to close the door properly after exiting.

Is it possible to reverse in a waterlogged section?

It is possible to reverse in a waterlogged section. Because there is gas in the exhaust pipe, under normal pressure (with water depth around half a meter), water will not flow backward, so reversing will not cause the engine to stall. Therefore, the key to deep wading is controlling the speed to avoid splashing water waves into the engine compartment. Additionally, the radiator fan should be temporarily turned off before wading to prevent dirty water splashing into the engine compartment from damaging the electrical system. When entering a waterlogged road, since the water on the road is relatively dirty, it is difficult to see the depth clearly, especially for potholed roads, making it even harder to judge. The safest approach is to first drive the car to a safe position and observe how other vehicles pass through the waterlogged section. If vehicles of similar height can pass, it generally means your car can also pass safely. If there are no similar vehicle models around, it is best to use a branch to measure the depth of the water. For general household cars, when the water level is up to one-third of the wheel height, it is still relatively safe; however, when the water reaches half the wheel height, extra caution is needed as the car chassis is already submerged, and the exhaust pipe is in contact with the water; when the water level reaches two-thirds of the wheel height, the battery may already be submerged, and if the car is driven too fast, water can enter the air intake, causing severe damage to the engine.

What is the main purpose of maintaining a safe distance while driving?

The main purpose of maintaining a safe distance while driving is to prevent the driver from being unable to brake in time due to driving tension and colliding with the vehicle in front. At the same time, it can also alleviate driving fatigue, prevent emergency braking of the vehicle ahead, and ensure sufficient braking distance in case of emergencies. Methods to ensure safe driving: 1. Check the vehicle condition and avoid driving with potential hazards; 2. Fasten seat belts and improve safety awareness; 3. Avoid driving while fatigued; 4. Do not drink and drive; 5. Pay attention to road conditions in bad weather; 6. Handle any unexpected situations on the road properly; 7. Observe traffic rules and avoid rushing; 8. Do not overload the vehicle, exceed the speed limit, or carry more passengers than allowed during the journey.

Is the car battery covered under the three-guarantee policy?

The battery is covered under the three-guarantee policy. The warranty period for a car battery starts from the date of invoice. During the warranty period, if any issues arise under normal usage conditions, the manufacturer will provide free repair or replacement services for the corresponding parts. However, it's important to note certain details during usage—if improper use is detected, the manufacturer may refuse warranty service. Warranty Period: The warranty period is calculated from the date of vehicle purchase. The battery is classified as a wear-and-tear component, and such components have their own separate warranty periods. There are a total of sixteen parts categorized as wear-and-tear components, each with different warranty durations. The warranty period for the battery is one year, meaning if any issues arise within this period, the battery can be replaced free of charge. Battery Lifespan: Most modern cars use sealed, maintenance-free batteries, which generally do not allow for replenishment or inspection of the electrolyte or electrode plates. You can check the color of the observation window on the battery—normally, it should appear green. The lifespan of the battery depends on the vehicle's configuration and electrical equipment. For example, vehicles equipped with navigation systems, multi-screen displays, remote anti-theft systems, etc., continue to consume power even when the engine is off, leading to prolonged battery discharge. This accelerates the depletion of the electrode plates and electrolyte, making the battery less durable compared to those in manual transmission vehicles. Typically, such batteries last only 2-3 years, while some vehicles may see battery lifespans of 4-5 years.

What are the 3 key points for parallel parking in Subject 2?

Subject 2 parallel parking involves the following 3 key points: 1. First point: Turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the horizontal yellow line in front of the right-side parking space is no longer visible in the right rearview mirror. 2. Second point: Straighten the steering wheel when the right rear corner of the parking space appears in the left rearview mirror. 3. Third point: Turn the steering wheel fully to the left when the left rear wheel just touches the white dashed line in the left rearview mirror. Important notes for Subject 2 exam: 1. Note 1: Ensure no facial coverings such as scarves, masks, or hats during photo-taking. 2. Note 2: Present ID card when entering the vehicle, adjust the seat, turn on the left turn signal, fasten the seatbelt, release the handbrake, and only enter the exam area after hearing "Identity verification successful." 3. Note 3: If another vehicle is currently performing reverse parking, wait outside the arrow markers until the preceding vehicle begins parallel parking before starting your exam. 4. Note 4: Align with the reference point ahead during parallel parking, avoid crossing solid lines on both sides, and maintain a 20-50 cm distance between the right wheel and the parking space line.

Is the validity period of a driver's license 6, 10, or 20 years?

The validity period of a driver's license is 6 years, 10 years, or long-term. There is no such thing as a 20-year validity period. You need to apply for a replacement within the first 3 months after your driver's license expires. If the driver's license is not replaced in time, it will expire, and you cannot drive a motor vehicle after it expires, otherwise it will be considered driving without a license. Below is more information about driver's licenses: 1. The replacement cycle for a driver's license is normally 6 years for the first license obtained. If there is no record of being deducted 12 points within 6 years, you can replace it with a 10-year validity driver's license upon expiration. If there is no record of being deducted 12 points each year within 10 years, you can replace it with a long-term driver's license. 2. The scoring cycle of a driver's license: The scoring cycle of a driver's license is 12 months from the date of initial issuance, which is one year. For example, if the initial issuance date of the driver's license is June 6, 2013, then the scoring cycle of this driver's license will end on June 6, 2014. If there are points deducted, they will be automatically restored after the fine is paid. If the fine is not paid and the illegal behavior is not dealt with, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle.
