When the rear of the car moves left as the steering wheel is turned left, it occurs during reverse driving. Correct hand positions for steering: Turning the steering wheel one full rotation equals 360 degrees, while a quarter turn equals 90 degrees. You can visualize the steering wheel as a clock face, with the correct hand positions being the left hand near the 9 o'clock position and the right hand near the 3 o'clock position. To turn the wheel 90 degrees beyond a full rotation, turn it one full rotation plus an additional quarter turn. Steering techniques: Beginners practicing steering should not overthink the exact degrees of rotation. Instead, follow the principle: 'Turn as much as you need to return, turn less if you need to return less, turn slowly if you need to return slowly, turn more if you need to return more, and turn quickly if you need to return quickly.' As for how much to turn, you can judge by the steering wheel markings or simply adjust based on the direction of the car's front and body.

What to do when pedestrians and motor vehicles suddenly appear during the Subject 3 driving test?

During the Subject 3 driving test, when passing through intersections and crosswalks, it is essential to keep an eye on all directions, slow down in advance, and always have your right foot on the brake pedal, ready to brake at any moment. Here’s how to handle such situations: 1. When encountering a pedestrian suddenly appearing: Do not panic. Actively press the brake and clutch (for automatic transmission vehicles, just press the brake). Only after the pedestrian has safely passed can you continue with the test. 2. When encountering a motor vehicle: If the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is temporarily occupying the lane, first press the brake and honk to alert them. If they do not yield, proceed forward to find a suitable spot to stop.

How to Deal with Scratches on White Car Paint?

Body scratches can be divided into several situations, each requiring different treatment methods: 1. Fine hairline scratches: Remove them using wax and fine cutting abrasives. Principle: The abrasives are as fine as nanometer level, which will not damage the original paint protection layer. 2. Light scratches: Use fine polishing wax to repair these minor scratches. Principle: Rearrange the molecules of the car's surface paint and move the edge surface paint to repair the wound. 3. Moderate scratches: Drive the car to a repair shop for professional treatment. During daily driving, try to avoid areas with high corrosiveness, such as seasides, roads with de-icing salt, newly paved asphalt roads, etc.

Does the Civic 220 have VTEC?

Civic 220 does not have VTEC technology because VTEC is designed for naturally aspirated engines, while the Civic 220 uses a turbocharged engine. Below is a detailed introduction to VTEC: How VTEC works: In the intake camshaft, in addition to a pair of cams and rocker arms for two valves, there is also an additional higher intermediate cam and corresponding rocker arm. The three rocker arms contain small pistons controlled by hydraulic pressure. It can simultaneously control both the valve opening/closing timing and lift under different conditions. Models that use VTEC: VTEC and i-VTEC engines are used in many of Honda's naturally aspirated engine models. For example, the eighth-generation Accord 2.4L and Honda Lingpai 1.8L.

What are the methods for replacing coolant?

Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, is a liquid with antifreeze properties. The specific replacement steps are as follows: 1. Open the front hood and inspect the connections of the radiator, hoses, and other components for any signs of leakage. 2. After confirming no leaks, open the reservoir cap or radiator cap to allow faster drainage of the coolant. 3. Locate the coolant drain port on the vehicle's radiator. Some models may not have a radiator drain port, in which case you can remove the heater hose to drain the antifreeze. If the drainage is incomplete, use a dust blower to pressurize the radiator, ensuring more complete coolant removal. 4. After draining the antifreeze, reinstall the drain plug or heater hose, then fill the radiator with clean water. 5. Start the engine and let the water circulate for 2-3 minutes before draining it again. This step helps clean dirt and rust from the cooling system. 6. After cleaning, drain all the water and reinstall the drain plug or heater hose. You can then add new antifreeze. 7. Once filled, start the engine and let it circulate for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the system, the coolant level will drop. Top up the antifreeze until it reaches the maximum mark on the reservoir.

How to Shift from D Gear to S Gear in an Automatic Transmission?

To shift from D gear to S gear, simply move the gear lever to the right from the D position. Switching between D and S gears is not affected by vehicle speed or road conditions, and there's no need to press the brake pedal; you can switch at any time. Here's some information about the S gear: 1. Sport Mode (SPORT) Driving Gear: Primarily enhances driving pleasure by increasing RPM and delaying gear shifts, or it can be used for short-term overtaking. 2. The transmission will automatically select a different gear ratio: This can also be simply understood as directly lowering one gear to keep the engine RPM within the maximum torque range, prioritizing power output. However, prolonged high-speed driving in this mode may increase fuel consumption.

How to Choose the Right Headlight Height Adjustment?

Generally, the headlight height adjustment can be set at position 0. The specific methods for adjusting headlight height are as follows: 1. Position 0: Suitable when the front seats are occupied and the trunk is empty. 2. Position 1: Suitable when the vehicle is fully loaded with passengers and the trunk is empty. 3. Positions 2 and 3: Suitable when the vehicle is fully loaded with passengers and the trunk is fully loaded. The headlight height adjustment knob is usually located on the left side of the dashboard, next to the light control switch. Rotating the knob adjusts the height of the light beam. The higher the value, the higher the light beam, which can more easily cause glare for oncoming drivers.
