The Corolla has a heated rearview mirror function. The switch for the Corolla's heated rearview mirror is located in the middle of the air conditioning's fan control knob. Pressing this switch activates the heating function for both the rear windshield and the rearview mirrors. The heated rearview mirror is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirrors manually and thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the heated rearview mirror function: There are generally two ways to activate the heated rearview mirror function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment function key—simply rotate the knob to activate it. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is required, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. Principle of the heated rearview mirror function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees. The heat is then distributed from the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually disappears, effectively heating the mirror and removing frost. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may decrease and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the heated rearview mirror function: The principle of the heated rearview mirror involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of electricity. Therefore, when using the heated rearview mirror function, ensure the car is in an active state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which may then fail to provide sufficient power for starting the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help defog the mirrors by blowing warm air.

How to Drain Gas from a Motorcycle?

Motorcycles have a fuel tank switch located at the bottom left side of the tank. By disconnecting the fuel hose from the switch and opening it, you can drain the gasoline from the tank, although the process may be somewhat slow. If you switch to the reserve tank position, you can essentially empty all the gasoline from the tank. Here are some additional tips: 1. Break-in Period: The break-in period is crucial for motorcycles. The first 1,500 kilometers are particularly important for a new motorcycle. During this phase, it's advisable not to use the motorcycle at full load and to maintain a steady speed while riding, which can extend the motorcycle's lifespan. 2. Warm-up: Pay attention to the warm-up process before riding. In summer, it's recommended to warm up the motorcycle for about two minutes, while in winter, it's best to warm it up for more than three minutes. This helps protect all components of the motorcycle. 3. Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential when riding a motorcycle, as many parts are exposed to the external environment. It's recommended to clean the motorcycle at least twice a week to reduce dust accumulation and improve its efficiency.

What is the normal tire pressure for the Changan CS55?

The normal tire pressure for the Changan CS55 is between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. The following explains the relationship between tire pressure and vehicle performance: Relationship between tire pressure and load capacity: Tire pressure is an indicator of a vehicle's load capacity. The load capacity of a vehicle depends on the level of tire pressure. The higher the tire pressure, the greater the load capacity, and vice versa. Relationship between tire pressure and vehicle dynamics: When a vehicle is driving at a constant speed on a level road, it must overcome rolling resistance from the ground and air resistance. When tire pressure decreases, the rolling resistance coefficient increases rapidly. This is because lower tire pressure causes greater deformation of the rolling tire, leading to increased hysteresis loss. Relationship between tire pressure and vehicle handling stability: Cornering stiffness is a critical parameter that determines a vehicle's handling stability. Tires should have high cornering stiffness to ensure good handling stability. Tire pressure is a key factor affecting cornering stiffness—the higher the tire pressure, the greater the cornering stiffness.

Why does it show 11 points left for processing when there are no violations?

The driver's license has a total of 12 points. The remaining 11 points indicate that only 11 points are still available for processing, not that 11 points have been deducted from the license. It means that if there are any violations, there are still 11 points that can be deducted. The one point that was deducted can be checked on the violation platform to see if there are any violations or illegal parking behaviors. Additional information is as follows: 1. Driver's license point deduction: Point deduction on a driver's license is a penalty for traffic violations. Depending on the severity of the traffic violation, points can range from a maximum of 12 to a minimum of 1 per violation. The deduction cycle is one inspection period. If 12 points are deducted within one cycle, the driver loses their driving privileges. 2. Traffic safety education: Typically, no less than 7 days of traffic safety education is required. Only after passing the exam can the driving privileges be restored. Point deduction serves to enforce drivers' compliance with traffic safety laws, thereby reducing the incidence of traffic accidents. However, in practice, the penalty of point deduction for drivers has lost its seriousness and standardization, making the point deduction process merely a formality.

What does the trip on a car dashboard mean?

Car dashboard trip is used to record the mileage of each trip, representing the subtotal mileage before this stage is reset. If you want to restart recording the mileage, you can long press to reset it. The smallest unit of the subtotal mileage trip is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. When the fuel tank is nearly empty, fill it up at a good gas station, then reset the mileage counter. Drive normally until you have covered a certain distance, then return to the same gas station and fill up the tank again. Note the current mileage, divide the amount of fuel added by the distance traveled, and then multiply by 100 to get the car's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.

How to Call for Assistance When a Tire Goes Flat?

You can call the manufacturer's 400 toll-free emergency assistance hotline, and the manufacturer will arrange for the nearest 4S store to provide rescue services. Alternatively, if you have time insurance, you can call your insurance company, which will arrange for assistance. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Identify the cause of the air leak: If a tire goes flat, you should not continue driving. First, pull over to the side of the road and determine the reason for the flat tire, checking for punctures, cuts, aging or cracked valve rubber, or other causes of air leakage. 2. Insufficient tire pressure: If you continue driving with insufficient tire pressure, it can damage the tire and even cause the wheel rim to deform. Moreover, driving under such conditions is unsafe and makes steering difficult. If only one tire is flat, you can choose to replace it with the spare tire and then take it to a repair shop. If you have tire repair fluid in your car, you can use it to fix the tire. The repair fluid is stored in a compressed canister and is injected into the tire through the valve stem, simultaneously sealing the leak and inflating the tire. If you don't have a spare tire, the best solution is to call for roadside assistance to have the car towed or to request mobile tire repair services.
