There are dash cams that clip directly onto the rearview mirror inside the car. However, this is not very safe, and if installed incorrectly, traffic police may penalize the driver for obstructing the view. Recording driving scenarios: The main function of a dash cam is to completely record images, sounds, and vehicle condition data during driving. Facilitating quick insurance claims: Providing accident footage directly to the insurance company can expedite the claim process. Evidence for traffic accidents: In the event of an accident, the dash cam can record the scene, providing video evidence for traffic police. Preventing fraud: Some 'professional fraudsters' target novice car owners, and having a dash cam can provide valid evidence.

How is car polishing done?

Steps for car polishing: 1. Use car wash soap to clean the surface of the car paint, especially hard particles like dust, as they can easily scratch the paint during the polishing process; 2. Select the appropriate sandpaper, wet it, and roughly sand the surface of the car paint until the scratches are smooth; 3. Choose a suitable polishing machine and apply polishing wax to polish the sanded areas; 4. Wipe the polished areas with a mirror finish treatment agent. Car polishing is a step in the car detailing process, performed before waxing, sealing, or coating. This is because sealing and coating require prior polishing, and only a finely polished car can achieve a mirror-like finish, which is a necessary step for sealing.

Which year's vehicles comply with China 5 emission standards?

Vehicles from 2012 comply with China 5 standards. The China 5 emission standard's control level is equivalent to the European Union's Euro 5 emission standard currently in implementation. China 5 vehicles are those that meet the national fifth-stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. These motor vehicle emission standards were established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent automotive exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. Shortly after the implementation of the China 5 standard, the China 6 standard was quickly put on the agenda, with many regions adopting it ahead of schedule. Taking Guangdong Province as an example, starting from 2019, all newly registered vehicles in Guangdong must comply with the China 6 emission standard. At that time, only China 6-compliant new vehicles were available in the market, and vehicles transferred from other regions were also required to meet the China 6 standard.

How to Read Tire Specifications?

Tire specifications take the 255/65R17 model as an example. 255 represents the width of the tire, which refers to the part of the tire that contacts the ground; 65 represents the aspect ratio of the tire, which is the ratio of the height from the rim to the tread to the maximum width of the tire's cross-section; R refers to radial tires; 17 represents the size of the tire. The larger the size of the car, the larger the tire size used. The parameter specifications of the tire can be seen on the side of the car tire. All tires used on cars have specifications, and the tire models used for each car are different. Tires of different sizes also have different effects during actual driving.

Does the XRV have cruise control?

XRV has cruise control, which allows you to maintain a constant speed without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. Cruise control can be used on highways or open roads to slightly accelerate or decelerate while driving at a steady speed. To set the speed, reach the desired speed, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, and press the SET button. The moment you release the SET button, the speed is fixed, and cruise control begins, with the CRUISE CONTROL indicator lighting up. The current Honda XRV models have body dimensions of 4328mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. Compared to the previous model, the body length has increased by 58mm due to the front and rear bumpers, while other dimensions remain unchanged.

What is ETC on highways?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, using software networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; Postal credit card application form, which is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS slip to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated postal outlets, with no additional charges; Must be between 18 and 60 years old; Must own a vehicle in personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rear windshield angle, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front; The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. Excessive speed may prevent reading vehicle device information, leading to failed toll deduction; When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause failed toll deduction.

What are the symptoms of a damaged transmission valve body?

Symptoms of a damaged transmission valve body: If the transmission valve body is damaged, symptoms may include the vehicle not moving when shifted into D gear, or the inability to engage certain forward gears. The valve body serves as the shift control system of an automatic transmission. Unlike manual transmissions, automatic transmissions do not require manual gear shifting. They are equipped with a computer that collects data from various sensors and controls gear shifts through actuators, with the valve body being the key actuator. The valve body can be seen once the transmission oil pan is removed. It is a highly precise component and the core part of an automatic transmission. To prevent damage, it is crucial to change the transmission fluid regularly during routine vehicle use, as most valve body failures are caused by delayed transmission fluid changes.
