A car has three rearview mirrors in total, namely the left rearview mirror, the right rearview mirror, and the center rearview mirror. Here are the detailed steps for adjusting each of the car's rearview mirrors: Adjusting the left rearview mirror: Adjust the mirror so that the car body occupies one-fourth of the field of view, with the sky and ground each occupying half. Adjusting the right rearview mirror: Adjust the mirror so that the car body occupies one-fourth of the field of view, with the ground occupying two-thirds to three-fourths. Adjusting the center rearview mirror: Ensure that the entire rear windshield is visible, and try to position the rear glass in the center of the mirror.

When I first got my new car, I was also really confused about how to adjust the rearview mirrors. Sit up straight, start with the interior center mirror—position it so you can see the entire rear windshield, giving you a clear view of what’s directly behind you. For the left side mirror, adjust it until you can barely see your own door handle in the mirror, taking up about one-fifth of the right side, so the focus stays on the traffic outside. The right mirror is even more critical—only leave about one-quarter of the mirror showing your car, dedicating the rest to the road, especially since it’s easy to miss electric bikes when turning right. After adjusting, I always double-check by turning my head to see the actual blind spots, as car designs vary. Oh, and don’t forget to wipe the mirrors in the rain—the heating feature is a lifesaver.

Driving a taxi for almost ten years, adjusting the rearview mirrors isn't as hard as it seems. First, adjust the driver's seat to the most comfortable position and keep your hands steady on the steering wheel. Set the center rearview mirror to frame the entire rear window, so you can check the traffic behind without lowering your head. When adjusting the side mirrors, don't just focus on the car body—remember these three key points: the left mirror should show the contact point of the left rear wheel with the ground, the right mirror should cover about half a meter around the right rear wheel, and the lane's white line should appear at the bottom of the mirror. Before changing lanes, make it a habit to glance—check the mirror, signal, then turn your head—these three steps ensure safety. For SUVs or vans, the right mirror needs to be tilted slightly lower.

What material is the grille made of?

Common grille materials are plastic and wood. Precautions for vehicle operation are as follows: 1. Pre-departure inspection: Conduct a comprehensive vehicle check before daily departure, including checking for oil/water leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure proper inflation, inspecting engine oil condition for normal color and appropriate level. 2. Safe driving: Properly use seat belts - their protective effect during violent collisions is no less than airbags. Avoid fatigue driving and take breaks every 2 hours. 3. Traffic compliance: Especially on highways, don't speed - speeding not only risks traffic fines but more importantly compromises safety.

Does the Gehang A5 still need an additional amplifier?

Whether to add an amplifier to the Gehang A5 depends on the owner's preference for sound quality. Below is an introduction to the legal methods for modifying a vehicle for road use: 1. Exterior modifications: This can be achieved through decals or vehicle wraps, but modifications covering less than 30% of the vehicle's surface are considered legal. 2. Color modifications: The vehicle color cannot exceed three primary tones, and the changes must be registered with the vehicle management office within ten days, along with obtaining a new driving license. 3. Modification scope: Small or micro passenger vehicles can legally modify damaged front and rear anti-collision devices. For cargo vehicles, adding windshields, water tanks, spare tires, etc., does not require registration changes, as long as they do not obstruct the license plate or affect driving.

What Procedures Are Required for Color Change Registration?

The "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form", original and photocopies of the identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent, the original vehicle registration certificate, and the original vehicle license are the necessary procedures for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle. Additionally, any fines must be paid before changing the vehicle color. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to undergo modification registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, registration is required, and the change must be recorded within 10 days after the vehicle color is altered. Precautions for Vehicle Wrap Color Change: Before preparing to change the color of a vehicle wrap, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine whether the region permits changing vehicle color through wraps. If the region does not support this method, registration procedures cannot be processed after the color change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", vehicle owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office for modification registration. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use or vice versa. The vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles.

Can You Shift Directly from First Gear to Second Gear?

You can shift directly from first gear to second gear, but you must follow the correct operating method. The process of shifting from first gear to second gear in a manual transmission car is as follows: After the car has smoothly started in first gear, when the speed reaches 15 to 20 kilometers per hour, you can prepare to shift to second gear. Press the clutch, pull the gear lever to the left and then backward in one smooth motion to engage second gear. After shifting to second gear, gently release the clutch and lightly press the accelerator. When shifting gears, always remember the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Shifting should be timely, accurate, smooth, and quick. Do not skip gears when upshifting. If you accidentally shift into the wrong gear or fail to engage a gear, don’t panic—simply return to the original gear and try again. Manual Transmission Cars: A manual transmission car is one that uses a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission to regulate speed. The driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve the desired speed. Method for Smoothly Starting a Manual Transmission Car: Fully depress the clutch with your left foot and engage first gear; turn on the left turn signal and honk the horn to alert vehicles and pedestrians ahead and behind; release the handbrake and gently lift the clutch with your left foot; when reaching the semi-engaged state, lightly press the accelerator with your right foot; after moving forward, fully release the clutch; adjust the gear according to road conditions.

Can New Energy Vehicles Not Move at 20% Battery?

Whether a new energy vehicle can move with 20% battery left mainly depends on the battery condition. If the battery is well-maintained, it can still operate even at 10%. However, if the battery has severe degradation, it may not move and could potentially drop from 20% to zero abruptly. Currently, mainstream new energy electric vehicle batteries on the market can be broadly categorized into lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium cobalt oxide batteries, lithium manganese oxide batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, and ternary lithium batteries (nickel cobalt manganese oxide lithium batteries). Below are the correct methods for maintaining a car battery: 1. Regular Cleaning: During daily use, pay attention to the battery's condition. Over time, the battery may accumulate dust, powder, grease, and other contaminants. To ensure normal operation, promptly clean the battery panel and the positive and negative terminals to extend its lifespan. 2. Avoid Long-Term Parking: If the vehicle is left unused for an extended period, the battery will self-discharge. Therefore, even if the car is not in regular use, it is recommended to start it once a week and take it for a short drive to keep the battery fully charged. 3. Regular Testing: The typical lifespan of a vehicle battery is 3-4 years. For high-end models with more electronic systems, the battery lifespan may be shorter. Regular testing of the battery's charge retention ensures it remains in optimal working condition.

Is it necessary to adjust large door gaps on a new car?

If it's a new car, it is likely due to the factory production process, which cannot be adjusted. However, if the issue arises from accidents or other reasons, adjustments can be made. A car door consists of an outer panel, inner panel, window frame, window guide rail, door hinge, door lock, and other accessories. The inner panel is equipped with components like the window regulator and door lock, and certain areas are reinforced for secure assembly. To enhance safety, a side impact beam is usually installed on the inner side of the outer panel. Below is an introduction to car doors: 1. Car Door: A car door provides access for the driver and passengers while isolating external disturbances. It also helps mitigate side impacts to some extent, protecting occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also influenced by the door design. 2. Door Quality: The quality of a door is primarily reflected in its side-impact protection, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Side-impact protection is particularly crucial because, during a side collision, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy for passengers to be injured. A high-quality door should have at least two side-impact beams, which are relatively heavy. This means that better doors tend to be heavier, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the heavier the door, the better.
