Replacing the rearview mirror does require removing the door panel. Rearview mirror replacement method: First, remove the door trim, then take off the inner cover of the rearview mirror, followed by removing the mounting screws. Generally, the mirror can be adjusted in all directions (front, back, left, and right), but frequent adjustments should be avoided as they may cause the mirror to become loose. Some vehicles have clips on the interior rearview mirror, which need to be opened before adjusting the mirror. After adjustment, secure the clips to fix the rearview mirror in place. Function of the rearview mirror: The rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the vehicle. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries mandate the installation of rearview mirrors on vehicles, and all mirrors must be adjustable in direction.

Is it correct to turn on the right turn signal immediately after overtaking?

Turning on the right turn signal immediately after overtaking is incorrect. After overtaking, you should maintain a safe distance from the overtaken vehicle and ensure it is safe before turning on the right turn signal and returning to the original lane. Relevant details are as follows: 1. On roads without a central dividing line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction: When the leading vehicle receives an overtaking signal from the following vehicle, it should reduce speed and move to the right to give way if conditions permit. The following vehicle should overtake from the left side of the leading vehicle only after confirming there is sufficient safe distance. After maintaining the necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, the following vehicle should turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane. 2. The following situations prohibit overtaking: (1) The leading vehicle is turning left, making a U-turn, or overtaking. (2) There is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle. (3) The leading vehicle is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency tasks. (4) Passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections with heavy urban traffic where overtaking conditions are not met.

How to Open the Highlander Fuel Tank?

Methods to open the car fuel tank cap: 1. Mechanical Key Method: Relatively more complex to use. 2. In-Car Switch Method: The in-car switch is currently the most common way to open the fuel tank door, more convenient than using a key. The location of the in-car switch varies among different car models, marked with a fuel pump icon. Note that the in-car switch might lead to refueling without turning off the engine, so drivers should remember to turn off the engine before refueling. 3. Push-to-Open Method: The push-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The driver only needs to park the car, and the attendant can refuel directly. However, when not refueling, remember to lock the central control, otherwise the fuel tank cap can be opened.

Does vehicle damage insurance cover compensation for cars flooded by rain?

Vehicle damage insurance does cover compensation for cars flooded by rain. Below is relevant information about waterlogging insurance: 1. Definition: Waterlogging insurance is a newly derived type of auto insurance, primarily referring to an additional coverage purchased by car owners for their engines. In cases where the insured vehicle is submerged up to the exhaust pipe or intake manifold due to heavy rain or flooding, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or attempts to start it by inertia; or if the vehicle is started without necessary post-flooding procedures, compensation under these two scenarios requires the purchase of waterlogging insurance. 2. Claims handling: Compensation is based on actual repair costs within the coverage limit. However, if the cumulative claim amount reaches the coverage limit during the insurance period, the insurance liability terminates. Each claim under waterlogging insurance is subject to a 15% absolute deductible.
