Adjust the rearview mirror until you can see the front door handle, then adjust it so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the mirror surface and the horizon occupies half of the mirror surface. First, adjust to locate the right front door handle, then adjust it so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the mirror surface and the ground occupies half of the mirror surface.

When I first started driving, I also had trouble adjusting the mirrors properly. It took me a while to figure out the tricks. After settling comfortably into the driver's seat, first adjust the interior rearview mirror to see the entire rear window, with the vertical position ensuring your line of sight is at the center of the mirror. For the side mirrors, position the horizon at the top third of the mirror, with the car body occupying only a quarter of the mirror surface. Remember to press your head against the window when adjusting the left mirror and lean toward the center when adjusting the right mirror to cover more viewing angles. On rainy days, avoid letting the mirror edges show the door handles, as it can affect judgment. For cars with blind spot assist systems, just align the mirrors according to the points indicated in the manual.

After 20 years in auto repair, I've seen too many accidents caused by improperly adjusted mirrors. Simply put: adjust the seat first, then the mirrors. The interior rearview mirror must fully display the rear windshield—don't let it reflect the back seat. The side mirrors should be set at their highest resolution angle: ensure the rear wheels just appear at the mirror edges, with visibility covering adjacent lanes. Never adjust them to show your own car body filling the mirror—that eliminates all rearward visibility. Position anti-glare mirrors correctly at night to avoid dazzling reflections. Aftermarket wide-angle mirrors require recalibration—this is especially crucial.

For beginners, it's recommended to use a foolproof adjustment method: find a straight road and drive slowly, following a car moving at a constant speed. The inner rearview mirror should always clearly show the position of the other car's headlights. Adjust the side mirrors so that when the car disappears from the center rearview mirror, it immediately appears at the inner corner of the side mirror. Practicing mirror adjustment in a parking lot is even better. The left mirror should just barely not show your own car's rear, while the right mirror should show about ten centimeters of the car's rear. This setup provides the safest angles for lane changes and reversing. After driving for half a year, fine-tune the mirrors again, as driving habits may change.

What letter represents reverse gear?

The letter for reverse gear is R. Whether it's a manual transmission or an automatic transmission vehicle, the letter for reverse gear is R. Here are some precautions when reversing: 1. When reversing, frequently check both side mirrors and the rearview mirror inside the car. First, ensure there are no obstacles (pedestrians, stones, etc.) around the vehicle before reversing. 2. If you need to press the accelerator while reversing, do so gently and avoid pressing it hard, primarily for safety reasons. Since you can't see the situation behind you in time when reversing, pressing the accelerator abruptly in such circumstances can easily lead to accidents.

Why is the car's central control screen not lighting up?

There are several reasons why the car's central control screen may not light up: 1. Low voltage: If it happens occasionally, it is normal because when starting the car, most of the electricity is used for the ignition, and low voltage can cause the screen not to light up. 2. Power supply issues: If the screen does not light up multiple times, you should check whether the power supply to the display screen is normal. If the power supply is abnormal, the power supply module needs to be replaced. 3. Wiring problems: You can check whether the wiring connections are good. If there are issues, the wiring needs to be replaced. If everything is normal, then the display screen may be damaged.
