Subject 2 exam vehicle rearview mirror adjustment method: 1. After getting in the car, adjust the seat and backrest to maintain a normal driving posture, then start adjusting the rearview mirrors. 2. The rearview mirror adjustment buttons are located on the inner side of the front doors and can be adjusted in four directions: up, down, forward, and backward. 3. Left rearview mirror adjustment method. Maintain an upright sitting posture. For left-right adjustment, make the car body occupy one-third of the left rearview mirror surface. For up-down adjustment, position the rear door handle to appear near the upper edge of the left rearview mirror surface, allowing you to see the left rear wheel of the car. 4. Right rearview mirror adjustment method. Similarly, maintain an upright sitting posture. For left-right adjustment, make the car body occupy one-third of the right rearview mirror surface. For up-down adjustment, position the rear door handle to appear near the upper edge of the left rearview mirror surface.

Adjusting the rearview mirrors properly is crucial during the driving license test (Subject 2). When I first started learning to drive, I often made mistakes. Later, my instructor taught me to sit upright with my back straight, then adjust both side mirrors to show a slight edge of the rear wheels and the nearby ground line—this helps clearly observe tire positioning during reverse parking. Also, pay attention to the interior rearview mirror to ensure a full view of the rear window and avoid blind spots. Don’t rush the adjustment process; sit down and fine-tune multiple times, moving your head to test sightlines and confirming you can see nearby obstacles without twisting your body. Poorly adjusted mirrors can lead to crossing lines and point deductions—I once failed because of this. Now, I’ve developed a habit of quickly checking them every time I get in the car, practicing until it becomes second nature. Remember: safety first. After adjusting, simulate reversing maneuvers repeatedly to verify effectiveness.

Adjusting the rearview mirrors is crucial for Subject 2 of the driving test, otherwise blurred vision during parallel parking or hill starts can be dangerous. When I was taking my driving test, I spent some time figuring this out: first adjust the seat to a comfortable position, sit upright without leaning, then manually adjust the side mirrors to show a small portion of the car body and the rear road markings, so you can accurately judge the wheel position when reversing. The interior rearview mirror should also be adjusted to clearly capture the full rear view, avoiding blind spots. I recommend practicing in an open area several times, such as trying to reverse to see the actual effect, then fine-tuning the angles. Be sure to double-check before the test—unstable or improperly positioned mirrors can easily lead to mistakes. I've seen other students retake the test because of this, so developing good habits is extremely important. Paying attention to this small detail during regular practice can boost overall driving confidence.

Adjusting the mirrors is simple: sit steadily and upright in the car without shaking. Adjust the side mirrors, one on each side, so that they show a bit of the car's rear edge and the nearby ground line. This way, you can see the tire positions when reversing. Don't forget the interior rearview mirror; set it to clearly see everything behind you. In driving tests like Subject 2, this setup helps avoid crossing lines or hitting poles. Practice a few times to get familiar with it. Don't rush, and after adjusting, confirm if the angles are correct.

How to Turn on the Car Air Conditioner in Winter?

When turning on the car air conditioner in winter, adjust it to the external circulation mode. Below is a relevant introduction to car air conditioning: 1. Air Conditioning Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layout methods. Currently, most cars widely adopt the integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater core, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism into one unit, referred to as the air conditioning assembly. 2. Air Conditioning Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Generally, a car air conditioner mainly includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, piping, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The car air conditioning system is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure lines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, suction line, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.

Why does the chassis make a crackling sound after the car is turned off?

After the car is turned off, the crackling sound from the chassis is caused by the cooling of the exhaust pipe's three-way catalytic converter, which produces the sound due to thermal expansion and contraction. This is a normal phenomenon and nothing to worry about. The three-way catalytic converter is a crucial purification device in the exhaust system. Its main function is to convert the three harmful substances—CO, HC, and NOx—into harmless substances. Here are some details about the three-way catalytic converter: 1. Composition: The three-way catalytic converter contains platinum, rhodium, and palladium. 2. Functions of each element: Platinum, rhodium, and palladium effectively catalyze nitrogen oxides and particulate matter in the exhaust, so vehicles equipped with a three-way catalytic converter have much less noticeable exhaust odor.

What are the precautions for novice drivers when driving the Geely Xingrui?

Precautions for novice drivers when driving the Geely Xingrui are as follows: 1. Warm up the car in advance: The Geely Xingrui 2.0T is equipped with an advanced one-key ignition start system. Even with one-key start, the car still needs to be "warmed up," although the current warming process differs from the traditional idle warm-up. After getting in the car, first adjust the seat to a suitable position and fasten the seatbelt. 2. Speed control: During the "break-in period," it is best to keep the speed between 40 km/h and 100 km/h. Driving at excessive speeds places a greater burden on the vehicle compared to moderate speeds. Always accelerate gradually and avoid maintaining the same speed for extended periods. During the first 300-500 kilometers of a new car, frequent sudden acceleration or deceleration can cause the car to adapt poorly.

Why is the Natural Gas Vehicle Lacking Power?

Natural gas vehicles often experience insufficient power primarily due to the lack of engine modifications during the conversion process. When converting a vehicle to run on natural gas, the engine is typically left unchanged to accommodate both fuel types (gasoline and natural gas). As a result, the vehicle's power output when using natural gas is usually reduced by 5-15% compared to gasoline. Solutions to address the lack of power in natural gas vehicles are as follows: 1. Solution 1: Increase the ignition timing by 12 to 17 degrees from the original setting. Natural gas itself has stable chemical properties, a higher ignition point than gasoline, and burns slower. Advancing the ignition timing can help reduce power loss. 2. Solution 2: Upgrade to a high-energy ignition system by installing a better ignition coil. Since the flame propagation of natural gas is slower than gasoline, this modification ensures more complete combustion of natural gas, thereby improving vehicle power.

What Does Used Car Refurbishment Mean?

Used car refurbishment refers to the process of thoroughly inspecting a purchased used car for any issues and addressing any problems found. Below is relevant information about purchasing used cars: 1. Solutions for issues with used cars: According to Chinese used car laws, general used cars do not come with a quality guarantee, but it is required to sign a contract during the transaction. The contract should clearly describe any existing problems with the used car, such as if the car has been involved in a major accident or is a repaired vehicle from a significant collision. If the seller conceals the true condition of the vehicle and fails to disclose it in the contract, the buyer can use the contract to resolve issues through market coordination. If the market does not intervene, the buyer can apply for arbitration or seek legal resolution. Commercial insurance can help recover some losses through policy cancellation. 2. Ways to purchase used cars: Used car trading markets offer the best hands-on experience. Online used car platforms provide the widest selection of vehicles. Personal car listings offer the most favorable prices.
