Listening to music while driving does not harm the car battery. Power consumption for music: The kinetic energy of the car is converted to some extent into electrical energy stored in the battery. Therefore, you can keep the audio system on while driving. Audio systems consume relatively little power, ranging from tens of watts to a hundred watts, while subwoofers can consume up to thousands of watts. This power doesn't come from nowhere; it's drawn from the battery's charge, which is essentially converted from the energy of gasoline. Listening to music when parked: If the car is turned off, the engine obviously can't continue to work and recharge the battery. In this case, using electronic devices in the car, including the audio system, consumes the battery's stored power. All batteries have a fixed capacity, so while the car battery can certainly power the audio system for some time, it's not advisable to listen to music for extended periods when the engine is off.

How to Correct the Direction When the Car Body is Crooked in Reverse?

Operate the steering wheel by alternating hands. When the car body is observed to be parallel to the garage boundary line in the rearview mirror, the driver's car body is then aligned. If after entering the garage, it is noticed through the rearview mirror that the distance between the vehicle and the garage boundary line is increasing, simply push the steering wheel towards the side where the gap is widening during operation.

How is crossing the line judged in reverse parking?

In reverse parking, crossing the line with the side mirrors is considered acceptable, while crossing the line with the car body is considered unacceptable. You must cross the parking line and stop about 1.5 meters away from the left yellow line, press the clutch, shift into reverse gear, and turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the left rearview mirror aligns. When entering the parking space, steer towards the side where the rear of the car is wider, apply the brakes four times, and avoid braking midway.
