Has the Beetle Been Discontinued?

It has been discontinued. Below are the relevant details: 1. Reasons for discontinuation: The Beetle's practicality is actually not very high. Despite its unique and adorable design that attracts many consumers, it struggles to meet the mainstream consumer demands of the new era in terms of comfort, cost-performance ratio, and features. Thus, the Beetle exemplifies the market principle of survival of the fittest. 2. Impact on the domestic car market: The Beetle is currently in the sales phase, but its production line has already stopped manufacturing and entered the inventory clearance stage. It can be said that once the existing Beetle inventory is sold out, there will be no new Beetles available. Even though there is a considerable amount of used Beetle information in the second-hand car market, the absence of new vehicles will eventually affect their resale prices, which are expected to see a slight upward trend.

Where is the OBD interface of Foton Yuling?

Foton Yuling's OBD interface is located under the dashboard on the passenger side. Some models may have it inside the center console or near the glove box. More details about OBD are as follows: Introduction to OBD: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which means vehicle self-diagnosis system in Chinese. The original purpose of OBD was to monitor whether a vehicle's emissions exceeded standards by observing the engine's operating conditions. Later, the system's functions expanded, with its primary role being to monitor emission-related components in real-time and send information to the vehicle's computer to determine if the vehicle is functioning properly. OBD Principle: It monitors vehicle emissions in real-time based on the engine's operating conditions. When a system fault occurs, the malfunction indicator lamp or check engine warning light illuminates, and the powertrain control module (PCM) stores the fault information in memory. The fault code can be retrieved from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. Function of OBD: OBD has undergone three generations of updates. The current OBD not only alerts the driver about vehicle emission issues but can also penalize violators. Using onboard communication systems like GPS or wireless communication, it automatically notifies management authorities of the vehicle's identification code, fault codes, and location. Management can then issue resolution instructions based on the vehicle's emission registration issues or even issue a ban on driving for violators who exceed the time limit.

Will Points Be Deducted for Incorrect Turn Signal Usage?

Failure to use turn signals or incorrect usage will result in a 10-point deduction per occurrence, with specific regulations as follows: Not using or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a 10-point deduction. Turning within less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a 10-point deduction. There are 6 instances in Subject 2 where turn signals are required: 1. Activate the left turn signal when starting the vehicle. 2. Activate the left turn signal when starting on a slope. 3. Activate the right turn signal when pulling over for parallel parking, stopping 30 cm from the curb before reversing. 4. Activate the left turn signal before shifting into reverse for parallel parking, as the steering wheel will be turned fully right during reversing, causing the front of the car to shift left. 5. Shift into drive and activate the left turn signal before exiting the parking space in parallel parking, turning it off promptly after exiting. 6. Activate the left turn signal when entering a sharp turn, turning it off promptly after completing the turn. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with criteria for failing, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. Passing standards are as follows: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), sharp turns, and S-curves (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll card collection). For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test includes: pole test, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, S-curves, sharp turns, narrow gate passage, continuous obstacle passage, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, and simulations for highways, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rain/fog conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

How to Read a Cylinder Bore Gauge?

Method: Keep the cylinder bore gauge perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. Swing the gauge back and forth, and when the pointer indicates the smallest number, it means the measuring rod is perpendicular to the cylinder axis. This reading is the standard reading. When the large pointer moves clockwise away from the "0" position, it indicates that the cylinder diameter is smaller than the standard size. If it moves counterclockwise away from the "0" position, it means the cylinder diameter is larger than the standard size. More details are as follows: 1. Taking a dial indicator with a measuring range of 0~3mm as an example for comparative measurement: Select an appropriate extension rod as needed and screw it into the rod seat, ensuring the total length of the measuring rod and extension rod is slightly larger than the cylinder diameter. Then, calibrate it with a micrometer. For instance, the cylinder diameter of the Dongfeng EQ6100 engine is 100mm. Adjust the total length of the measuring rod and extension rod of the cylinder bore gauge to a fixed size between 102~103mm, and then calibrate it with a micrometer. If it does not meet the requirements, rotate the extension rod to adjust. After adjustment, lock the extension rod and align the "0" position on the dial with the pointer. Alternatively, set the micrometer to the nominal size of 100mm, insert the measuring rod and extension rod of the cylinder bore gauge into the micrometer, and the pointer should rotate 2~3 turns. 2. Extend the measuring rod of the cylinder bore gauge into the cylinder for measurement: When the handle is tilted left or right, the gauge reading will be larger. The smallest reading on the gauge is the accurate reading, and the data should be recorded. Avoid abrupt movements during measurement; let the measuring rod slowly contact the cylinder liner. The measured surface should be clean, and the dial indicator should avoid contact with water, oil, and dust. For a recently disassembled engine, allow it to cool to room temperature before measurement.

What to Do When Encountering Floods While Driving?

When suddenly encountering floods while driving, first and foremost, if the vehicle has entered a flooded area, drive with extreme caution, observe road conditions, and avoid areas with large water ripples as there may likely be traps or obstacles underwater. If the engine stalls in the flood and fails to start after three consecutive attempts, immediately choose to abandon the vehicle. More details are as follows: 1. Assess the depth and flow speed of the water in advance: Before attempting to drive through floodwaters, assess the depth and flow speed of the water in advance. You can use a stick or similar tool to measure. If the water level exceeds the depth of the headlights, do not force your way through; instead, pull the handbrake and stand on the roof to await rescue. Key points for driving through water: After deciding to proceed through the water, follow the principle of "driving fast on sand and slow through water." The so-called "slow through water" ensures that the vehicle moves through the water as gently as possible to minimize waves and splashes. This approach helps prevent water from being forced into the air intake by waves, which could damage the vehicle, and also avoids splashing pedestrians, which could lead to trouble. 2. Keep speed below 20 km/h: Generally, when driving through floodwaters, it's best not to exceed 20 km/h. Keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel to maintain control and avoid danger. Pay attention to controlling speed; it's recommended to stay below 20 km/h. Most automatic transmission vehicles are accustomed to driving in D gear, but in this gear, the vehicle will automatically shift up or down based on speed and RPM. If the vehicle shifts up while driving through water, the RPM will inevitably drop, causing a sudden decrease in exhaust pressure and creating backpressure. At this point, water can be sucked back into the exhaust pipe, leading to poor exhaust and causing the engine to stall.

Can an F License Drive a Scooter Motorcycle?

According to Appendix 1 of China's "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" regarding permitted vehicle types and codes: An F license allows the holder to operate fuel-powered scooter motorcycles with an engine displacement not exceeding 50ml or electric vehicles with a maximum design speed not exceeding 50km/h. Otherwise, operation is prohibited. When driving a scooter motorcycle with an F license, it is necessary to check the motorcycle's displacement and speed. The F license is a light motorcycle driving license, with an application age range of 18-70 years. It only permits the operation of light motorcycles with an engine displacement below 50CC (50ml) and a maximum speed not exceeding 50km/h. Additionally, light motorcycles are not allowed to carry passengers. Motorcycles exceeding 50CC require an E or D license to operate. Light motorcycles are defined as those with a maximum design speed of less than 50km/h, regardless of the driving method. If powered by an internal combustion engine, the displacement must not exceed 50ml. If electrically driven, the total rated output power of the motor must not exceed 4KW. Materials required for applying for an F license: Four identical one-inch white-background color photos, a valid ID card or temporary ID card (non-local applicants must submit a one-year residence certificate). For the F license test, after completing traffic law study and driving skill training, motorcycle license applicants can take the subject one, two, and three tests on the same day. To drive a light motorcycle, the driver must be at least 1.45 meters tall, have a vision of at least 0.7 (or corrected to 0.7), no red-green color blindness, normal hearing, and no physical defects or diseases that hinder safe driving. After passing a medical examination and the traffic rules and driving skills tests administered by the public security authorities, a light motorcycle driving license will be issued. For licensed light motorcycles, a medical examination is required every two years, and those who fail are not allowed to continue driving. The type of license required for a scooter motorcycle varies depending on its displacement, as follows: D (ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle): Permitted vehicles include three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. Other permitted vehicle types: E, F. E (ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle): Permitted vehicles include two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. According to Article 19 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Driving a motor vehicle requires legally obtaining a motor vehicle driving license. Applicants must meet the driving license conditions set by the public security department of the State Council. After passing the test, the traffic management department of the public security authorities will issue the corresponding category of motor vehicle driving license. Drivers must operate motor vehicles according to the permitted vehicle types stated on their license and must carry the license when driving. Therefore, it is clear that both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type on the license are illegal. According to the first provision of the reply from the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council regarding the interpretation and application of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and its implementation regulations: Driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type on the license is considered unlicensed driving in nature. For penalties, based on the principle of matching punishment with the offense, it can be appropriately mitigated under the penalty provisions for driving without a license. Therefore, both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type on the license are subject to Article 99, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Driving without a motor vehicle driving license, or driving when the license is revoked or temporarily suspended, will result in a fine imposed by the public traffic management department and may also include detention for up to 15 days.
