The adjustment method for a misaligned rearview camera: 1. Start the vehicle and shift into reverse gear; 2. Turn on the vehicle screen and activate the rearview camera; 3. Check if the field of view is comprehensive and the height is appropriate; 4. If not suitable, get out of the car or ask someone for help, locate the rearview camera, which is usually installed near the license plate light on the trunk lid or under the rear bumper, and adjust the camera's angle up or down to the appropriate position. Adjustment method for rearview camera misalignment caused by the steering system: 1. Straighten the vehicle and remove the steering wheel, adjusting the angle of the spline gear based on the deviation position; 2. Drive the car to a repair shop to adjust the steering gear's tie rod, which essentially means performing a wheel alignment. Normally, the steering wheel can only turn one and a half turns to the left or right when straightened. If there is a deviation, it indicates a problem with the steering system, which needs to be adjusted using this method.

Are There Any Additional Procedures After Receiving the Driver's License?

Once you have your driver's license in hand, you can drive motor vehicles that match the permitted driving categories recorded on your license, with no further procedures required. However, new license holders must comply with the following regulations: 1. Probationary Period: The first 12 months after initially obtaining a driver's license or adding a new permitted driving category is considered the probationary period. 2. Probationary Mark: During the probationary period, a standardized probationary mark must be displayed or hung at the rear of the vehicle when driving. 3. Driving Restrictions: During the probationary period, drivers are prohibited from operating buses, passenger transport vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, and other hazardous substances; the driven vehicle must not tow a trailer. 4. Accompaniment Requirement: When driving on highways during the probationary period, the driver must be accompanied by someone who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher category for at least three years. These restrictions do not apply when driving vehicles within the original permitted driving categories.

How much fuel does running the car air conditioner for one hour consume?

It consumes approximately 2~3 liters of fuel per hour. The engine remains at idle speed, resulting in relatively low fuel consumption. Here are the details: 1. Engine idling: Engine idling consumes a significant amount of fuel. When idling, the engine only drives the air conditioning compressor, and prolonged operation at high temperatures can lead to dangerous accumulations of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide inside the vehicle. 2. Precautions: Smoking while the car air conditioner is on prevents smoke from being promptly vented outside, which can harm the eyes and respiratory system. Avoid adjusting the temperature excessively; setting the air conditioner to the lowest temperature for rapid cooling can directly affect the human endocrine system. Prolonged exposure to excessively low temperatures may cause symptoms such as leg pain and general chills. It is recommended to maintain a temperature difference of 5-6℃ from the outside environment.

What do lateral deceleration and longitudinal deceleration mean?

Lateral deceleration refers to the commonly known speed bumps, while longitudinal deceleration creates a visual impression of narrowing lanes for drivers, achieving the effect of reminding them to slow down. Here is more relevant information: 1. Lateral deceleration markings: These are white dashed lines set up in toll plaza areas, exit ramps, or other sections where vehicle speed reduction is required. They come in forms of single, double, or triple dashed lines, perpendicular to the direction of travel. Lane lateral deceleration markings consist of a set of parallel white dashed lines, serving to alert drivers to slow down. 2. Longitudinal deceleration markings: These are a set of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to the lane dividers. At the starting point of the longitudinal deceleration markings, a 30-meter transition section is set up, where the diamond-shaped dashed lines gradually widen from 10 cm to 30 cm. This is one of the newly added markings in the national standard for road traffic markings.

Under what circumstances can you make a U-turn at a red light?

There are 2 situations where a U-turn is allowed at a red light: marked road lines or the absence of a left-turn waiting area. Here is more relevant information: 1. Marked road lines: If one or both of the double solid yellow lines in the middle of a two-way road are dashed, a U-turn is permitted. You can ignore the traffic light and directly make a left-turn U-turn, provided it does not affect the normal flow of oncoming traffic. 2. U-turn situation without a left-turn waiting area: This can generally be divided into two scenarios. The specific approach is the same as making a U-turn with a left-turn waiting area, except that when there is a U-turn sign and the left-turn signal is green, the vehicle must not cross the zebra crossing during the left turn and must not affect the movement of oncoming traffic.

Is It Harmful to Hold the Brake in D Gear for 5 Minutes?

Holding the brake in D gear for 5 minutes is harmful. Short periods of holding the brake in D gear are acceptable: In traffic jams, some drivers of vehicles with automatic transmissions often only press the brake pedal while keeping the gear lever in D (Drive) without shifting. If the duration is short, this is permissible. For longer stops, it's better to shift to N gear: If the stop is prolonged, it's advisable to shift to N (Neutral) and engage the parking brake. This is because when the gear lever is in D, automatic transmission vehicles typically have a slight forward creep. Holding the brake pedal for an extended period forcibly stops this movement, causing the transmission fluid temperature to rise and the fluid to degrade more quickly. This is especially detrimental when the air conditioning system is running and the engine is idling at higher speeds. For safety, drivers should use their vehicles correctly.

Will Asphalt Sticking to Tires Damage Them?

Asphalt sticking to tires will not damage them. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. The causes of tire wear are as follows: 1. Excessive wear on both sides: The main reasons are insufficient inflation or long-term overload driving. When the inflation is low or the load is heavy, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, causing both sides of the tire to come into contact with the ground and participate in work, leading to early wear; 2. Excessive wear on one side: The main reason is misalignment of the front wheel. When the camber angle of the front wheel is too large, the outer edge of the tire experiences early wear, while if the camber angle is too small or absent, the inner edge of the tire experiences early wear; 3. Sawtooth wear on the tread: The main reasons are improper adjustment of the front wheel alignment or abnormal positioning of the front suspension system, loose ball joints, etc., causing normally rolling wheels to slip or the wheel alignment to continuously change during driving, resulting in sawtooth wear on the tires.
