The steering angle sensor is installed at the bottom of the steering column. The steering angle sensor is a device used to detect the rotation angle and direction of the steering wheel. It is a device for determining the angular position of a shaft, such as a steering column, which includes a coil set, a coil support, and a coupler element. The coupler element has a coupler angular position related to the angular position of the shaft. Additional information: 1. The automotive steering angle sensor is used to detect the rotation angle and direction of the steering wheel. Whether the steering wheel turns left or right, it will be detected by the steering angle sensor, enabling the vehicle's electronic control unit to issue the correct steering command. The rotation angle of the steering wheel provides the basis for the vehicle to achieve the steering amplitude, allowing the car to drive according to the driver's steering intention. 2. The steering angle sensor consists of photoelectric coupling elements, perforated slot plates, etc. The photoelectric coupling elements are light-emitting diodes and photosensitive transistors. The perforated slot plate is placed between the light-emitting diode and the photosensitive transistor. The perforated slot plate has many small holes. When the steering wheel turns, the perforated slot plate follows the rotation. The photosensitive transistor operates based on the light passing through the perforated slot plate and outputs a digital pulse signal. The vehicle's electronic control unit uses this signal to identify the steering angle, direction, and speed of the steering wheel.

How many points are deducted for the rearview mirror crossing the line during the reverse parking in Driving Test Subject 2?

This situation will result in a deduction of 100 points. Deduction items for reverse parking in Subject 2: 1. Not following the specified route or sequence: 100 points deducted. 2. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100 points deducted. 3. Failing to complete the reverse parking: 100 points deducted. 4. Stopping midway: 100 points deducted. Extended information on reverse parking operation techniques: Learn to observe and accurately use the rearview mirrors: These include the left and right rearview mirrors and the interior rearview mirror. After the driver sits in the vehicle, their field of vision is obstructed, so it is necessary to use the rearview mirrors to expand the field of vision. The left and right rearview mirrors are mainly used to observe the situation around the vehicle body and the road conditions, while the interior rearview mirror is primarily for observing the situation behind the vehicle. During reverse parking operations, the left and right rearview mirrors are used most frequently.

What is the reason why the car air conditioner stops cooling after running for a while?

Car air conditioner stops cooling after running for a while because the condenser is covered by pollutants, so it needs to be cleaned regularly. Cleaning can be done with an air gun or a water gun. Here are some methods to solve the problem of car air conditioner not cooling: 1. Clean the condenser and filter screen. If the condenser inside the air conditioner is too dirty, it needs to be cleaned in time. Dust will accumulate on the condenser, causing poor heat dissipation and seriously affecting the cooling effect. First, prepare a bucket of water and carefully wipe the condenser with a cloth to remove dust and stains. 2. The air conditioner filter screen is blocked, causing the car air conditioner not to cool. At this time, the air conditioner filter screen needs to be cleaned. If the filter screen is severely damaged or has reached the end of its service life, it can be replaced directly. 3. Add refrigerant and test the cooling effect of the air conditioner. If it cannot cool normally, it may be due to insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system. Since the amount of refrigerant sprayed into the evaporator from the expansion valve is reduced, the heat absorbed by the refrigerant is too little, resulting in poor cooling effect. At this time, refrigerant should be added.

How long after a drunk driving penalty of 12 points can one drive for Didi?

It takes one year or more. As long as the drunk driver holds a valid driver's license, clears the penalty point record, and has no further penalty points in the new year, they can register for Didi qualification in the following year and start driving for Didi normally. According to Article 68 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driving license. The driver must, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department where the license was issued or where the violation occurred. After completing the study, the vehicle management office must conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the driver passes the exam, the penalty points will be cleared, and the driving license will be returned. If the driver fails, they must continue studying and retake the exam. Those who refuse to study or take the exam will have their driving license suspended by the traffic management department of the public security authority.

What is the jagged white solid line marking?

On the road, the jagged white solid line is a variable guide lane line, and the functions of such markings are as follows: 1. Road traffic markings: These refer to traffic signal facilities composed of various lines, arrows, texts, as well as three-dimensional markings, raised pavement markers, and roadside contour markings painted on the road surface. 2. Road traffic markings: Their purpose is to separate motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians, improve road utilization, reduce or prevent traffic accidents, and enhance their effectiveness when used in conjunction with traffic signs and signals. 3. Types of traffic markings: There are over 70 types of traffic markings, which can be categorized by marking method into white dashed lines, white solid lines, yellow dashed lines, yellow solid lines, double white dashed lines, double white solid lines, double yellow dashed lines, and yellow alternating solid and dashed lines, etc. 4. Classification by function: They can also be classified by function into roadway centerlines, lane dividing lines, stop lines, yield lines, pedestrian crosswalk lines, channelizing lines, guide arrows, and left-turn guide lines, etc. By purpose, they are divided into just three categories: first, guide markings; second, prohibition markings; and third, warning markings.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Hyundai Elantra?

The Hyundai Elantra offers 4 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission across all variants. All models feature front-wheel drive. In the same vehicle class, the 2021 Volkswagen Santana has a fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters, while the 2021 Buick Excelle has a 44-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because automakers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to the safety limit, with additional space remaining between the safety limit and the tank opening. This extra space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means sufficient fuel remains.
