Car mirror adjustment tutorial: 1. Adjust the horizon reflection in the center rearview mirror to the center of the mirror, and position the reflection of your right ear to the left edge of the mirror; 2. Adjust the horizon reflection in the side mirror to the center, with the reflection of the left side of your car occupying the right quarter of the mirror; 3. Since the driver's seat is on the left side, it's harder for the driver to see the right side of the car. Additionally, for roadside parking needs, the right side mirror should show more ground area when adjusting up and down positions, covering about two-thirds of the mirror surface; 4. For the left-right position, adjust so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the mirror surface.

Having driven for over a decade, adjusting rearview mirrors is absolutely crucial—proper alignment minimizes blind spots and enhances driving safety. Here's the standard procedure: After getting in the car, first adjust your seat to sit upright. Then position the interior rearview mirror to center the rear window, ensuring a clear full-window view. Side mirrors should be angled to just barely show a sliver of your own car—like the door handle or a corner of the wheel—with the majority of the view dedicated to traffic behind you. This way, when changing lanes, a quick glance over your shoulder ensures complete safety. Avoid setting mirrors to only reflect your own car, as it increases accident risks. This technique is especially useful on highways—I've witnessed many accidents caused by blind spots. Regularly checking and cleaning mirrors is also good practice; inspect their angles monthly to prevent shifts from bumps. Adopting this habit saves headaches and boosts driving confidence.

Early Signs of Captiva Transmission Failure?

Early signs of Captiva transmission failure 1. Transmission fluid leakage. 2. Engine stalls when shifting gears. 3. Transmission locks in gear. 4. Car does not move when engaged in gear. 5. Rough shifting. 6. Unusual noises from the transmission. 7. Shifting time is too long or too short. 8. Transmission slippage. Additional information as follows: 1. Difficulty in starting, especially in low gear. While driving, the engine RPM increases when the accelerator is pressed, but the vehicle hardly moves, as if it is not in gear. This could be due to transmission fluid leakage. 2. When starting the vehicle, shifting from P or N to other gears causes the engine to stall; or the engine stalls when braking while driving, provided the car does not have auto start-stop. This situation may also indicate fluid leakage. 3. During normal driving, the engine RPM is high when accelerating, but the speed increases very slowly. When braking, the speed drops to a certain point and does not decrease further. In manual mode, the transmission stays in one gear and cannot shift up or down, meaning the transmission is stuck in a particular gear.

Can I drive if the 12123 app shows my driver's license is locked?

12123 shows the driver's license is locked, but you can still drive because it's locked due to the probationary period not being over yet. Here are the things to note after obtaining a new driver's license: 1. Probationary period: The probationary period is one year from the day you get your license. There are many things to pay attention to during the probationary period. During this time, you cannot drive on highways unless accompanied by a driver with at least 3 years of experience; if a C1 license holder accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, their probationary driving qualification will be immediately revoked. For B-class licenses and above, if 6-12 points (but less than 12) are accumulated during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year, and the holder must retake the subject 1 test within 30 days after the probationary period ends. 2. License renewal: After the one-year probationary period, you need to go to the local vehicle management office where the license was issued to renew it, but any violations must be dealt with first. After 6 years, you need to go to the issuing vehicle management office to get a new license, which requires a medical check-up at a hospital, then bringing the old license, ID card, and three 1-inch color photos to fill out an application form. 3. Points cycle: The points cycle for a driver's license is one year from the date of issuance. If a C1 license holder does not accumulate 12 penalty points within this year and settles all violations and pays fines before the start of the next cycle, the points will be reset to 12 at the beginning of the next cycle.

What is the lifespan of a car fan?

Higher rotation speeds lead to greater wear and affect lifespan. Generally, factory-installed fans can last about 5 years without issues. Below are related details: 1. Axial Fan: An axial fan's blades push air in the same direction as the axis. The impeller of an axial fan resembles a propeller, with most airflow moving parallel to the axis during operation—in other words, along the axial direction. 2. Centrifugal Fan: A centrifugal fan works by pushing air in a direction perpendicular to the axis (i.e., radially). Air intake is along the axis, while exhaust is perpendicular to the axis. In most cases, an axial fan can achieve sufficient cooling. However, when airflow needs to rotate 90 degrees for exhaust or higher air pressure is required, a centrifugal fan must be used.

Does the 12123 license plate selection have to be completed at once?

12123 license plate selection does not need to be completed at once. The first selected number is a pre-selected number, and you can choose up to 5 times, which means you can have up to 5 pre-selected numbers. The following are the precautions for new car license plate selection: 1. Validity period of pre-selected license plates: After successful pre-selection, the license plate number will be reserved for three working days from the next day (holidays and weekends are extended). If the registration is not completed within the time limit, the selected license plate will be invalid and you will be prohibited from selecting a license plate online again. Vehicles that have successfully selected a license plate number are prohibited from selecting again or modifying information online. 2. Information entry requirements: The vehicle owner must accurately enter the ID number, vehicle identification code and other relevant information, and carefully check it. If the entered information does not match the relevant certificates, the selected license plate will be invalid. 3. Print the pre-selected license plate voucher: The vehicle owner can print the pre-selected license plate voucher after successful selection. When registering, you need to inform the accepting police officer that you have selected a license plate online and submit the pre-selected license plate voucher. If the printing is not successful during the selection, you can log in again to print.
