The wheel ET value is located on the back of the wheel, either engraved or on the cardboard box, with detailed parameters on the label. The ET value, also known as the ET offset value, refers to the Offset value, which is the deviation between the mounting surface of the wheel and the centerline of the wheel rim, measured in millimeters (MM). It can be positive, zero, or negative. The wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside, mounted on the axle, also known as the wheel rim, steel rim, or tire ring. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the wheel hub may vary, generally categorized into painting and electroplating.

Can the car be started while charging?

It is possible to start the car while it is charging, but doing so may damage the charger's capacitor and could also have a certain impact on the battery. Here are some related details about car batteries: Introduction 1: Generally, the lifespan of a car battery is about 2-3 years. A new car's original battery can last more than 3 years. If a car battery is discharged, it can lead to battery sulfation. Introduction 2: If the battery is severely discharged, it may even cause the battery to become unusable. Battery depletion also refers to deep discharge, where the voltage drops below 10.50V, causing sulfuric acid and lead plates to produce lead sulfate. Introduction 3: If not charged in time, lead sulfate can form crystals. Over time, these crystals will not decompose during charging, which is known as battery sulfation.

Is the wheel hitting the corner due to steering too early or too late in a right-angle turn?

If the rear wheel hits the corner during a right-angle turn, it means the steering was initiated too early. If the steering is too late, the front of the car will sweep the line ahead. Before turning, try to drive as close to the outer side as possible. Adjust according to the speed (preferably in first gear with half-clutch), and when turning the wheel back, be decisive and even, avoiding sudden movements. Mastering the following three techniques is essential for a right-angle turn: Technique 1: Turn on the turn signal just before entering the right-angle turn zone, and use the ring finger of the left hand to press and prevent it from bouncing back. After the system prompts entry into the "right-angle turn" zone, turn off the turn signal. Technique 2: Steer the wheel to the right to adjust the distance between the car body and the right-side line to 30cm. Observe the highest point of the wiper or the point where one-third of the car's front aligns with the roadside line. Technique 3: Control the speed. When the door handle aligns with the right-angle line, steer the wheel fully to the left. Observe the rearview mirror, and when the car body is parallel to the side line, straighten the wheel.

Can I still take the driving test if I lost my ID card?

You can still take the driving test if you lost your ID card. Bring your household registration booklet and the receipt for ID card collection to apply for a temporary ID card at your registered residence. After losing your ID card, immediately report the loss of various cards. If you don't remember the card number and password, you can contact customer service to report the loss by providing your ID number. Below is an introduction to the driving test: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The structure of the test question bank and the basic question types are determined by the Ministry of Public Security, and provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the test question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. The test items include reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine required test items: reversing into a parking space, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. The basic test items include preparation before driving (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears and releasing the handbrake, honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over to stop, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making a U-turn, and driving at night. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge. The test item is related knowledge of safe and civilized driving.

What is the lifespan and mileage of Michelin tires?

Michelin tires can last about 3 years and run approximately 50,000 kilometers. This is just a general reference period, as some car owners may find their tires worn out after only 30,000 kilometers, while others might use them for up to 10 years. The lifespan or mileage of Michelin tires is influenced by many factors. The mileage of Michelin tires is affected by the following factors: Working air pressure: Both underinflation and overinflation can impact the lifespan of the tires. If the tire pressure is too low, the radial deformation increases, causing excessive deformation on both sides of the tire wall, leading to shoulder wear on the tread. This raises the tire temperature, significantly shortening the tire's lifespan. Climate environment: The local climate in different regions affects the rate of rubber aging in tires. Aged tires lose their elasticity, and continued use can cause tread deformation, increasing the risk of blowouts and reducing braking effectiveness. Tire temperature: During driving, the tire temperature rises due to stretching, compression, and friction. Excessive temperature can accelerate tire wear and even cause blowouts. Driving habits: This is a factor directly related to the car owner. Aggressive acceleration, sudden turns, emergency braking, high-speed driving on rough roads, frequently driving over curbs, and scraping obstacles when parking can all cause severe tire wear, thereby shortening the tire's lifespan.

What speed corresponds to which gear in Subject 3?

Subject 3 gear and speed standards mainly include: 1st gear for 0-20 km/h, 2nd gear for 5-30 km/h, 3rd gear for 15-40 km/h, 4th gear for 30-55 km/h. The highest gear required in Subject 3 is 4th gear, which is used during straight-line driving. The specific speed requirements for gear shifting in Subject 3 are as follows: Introduction 1: During normal driving, 1st gear corresponds to 10-20 km/h, 2nd gear to 20-30 km/h, 3rd gear to 30-40 km/h, 4th gear to 40-50 km/h, and 5th gear to speeds above 60 km/h. Introduction 2: However, the speed and gear matching requirements for the Subject 3 exam differ slightly from actual driving. The allowed range for 1st gear is 0-20 km/h, with the shift to 2nd gear occurring at 15-20 km/h. The allowed range for 2nd gear is 10-30 km/h, with the shift to 3rd gear at 25-30 km/h. The allowed range for 3rd gear is 20-40 km/h, with the shift to 4th gear at 35-40 km/h. The allowed range for 4th gear is 30-50 km/h, with the shift to 5th gear at 45-50 km/h.

What are the deduction rules for the right-angle turn in Subject 2?

The deduction rules for the right-angle turn in Subject 2 mainly include: driving wheels over the road edge line, which results in a 100-point deduction; failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal during the turn, which results in a 10-point deduction; not turning off the turn signal after the turn, which results in a 10-point deduction; and stopping midway, which results in a 5-point deduction each time. The key deduction points for the right-angle turn in Subject 2 are as follows: Running over the line: Failing to adjust the distance between the car body and the right-side edge line to 30 centimeters, which makes it easier to run over the line during the turn. When the highest point of the windshield wiper aligns with the edge line, the distance between the car body and the edge line is 30 centimeters. Driving too fast: The right-angle turn should be performed at a low speed. If the speed is too high and the steering is not timely, it can lead to running over the line. Lights: Forgetting to turn on the turn signal or not turning it off in time after passing the curve. This is also a common deduction point in the right-angle turn. The left turn signal needs to be turned on during the right-angle turn and turned off upon hearing the voice prompt. Many trainees tend to mistakenly switch the turn signal to the right turn signal when turning it off, which also results in a deduction.
