When adjusting the rearview mirrors, it is essential to set them to a suitable viewing angle based on your seating posture. Below are some key points for adjusting rearview mirrors: 1. Left rearview mirror: When adjusting the left mirror, ensure you can see both the car body and obstacles clearly on the left rear. The optimal angle is to adjust the vertical position so that the sky and ground each occupy half of the mirror surface. Horizontally, adjust it so that the car body occupies about 1/4 of the mirror area, and you can see the rear door handle. 2. Right rearview mirror: For the right mirror, adjust the vertical position so that the sky occupies about 1/4 of the upper part of the mirror. Horizontally, set it so that the car body takes up about 1/4 of the mirror area, allowing visibility of the rear door handle.

What are the differences between the 718 and 911?

Porsche 718 and 911 have the following specific differences: 1. Drive system: The Porsche 718 uses a mid-engine rear-wheel drive system, where the engine is placed in the middle of the body and driven by the rear wheels. This drive system tends to distribute the weight towards the rear, increasing the adhesion of the rear wheels, resulting in strong acceleration and very flexible steering. Currently, most supercars use a mid-engine rear-wheel drive system. The Porsche 911 uses a rear-engine rear-wheel drive system, placing the engine at the rear of the car, eliminating most of the drive shaft. 2. Power differences: The Porsche 718 mainly has two power configurations, 2.0T and 2.5T, with power outputs of 250 horsepower and 350 horsepower respectively, and 0-100 km/h acceleration times of 5.6 seconds and 4.4 seconds. The Porsche 911 is equipped with three engines: 3.0T, 3.8T, and 4.0L, with the fastest GT model accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. 3. Appearance differences: The Porsche 718 has a mid-engine layout, requiring a side vent for ventilation and cooling, while the Porsche 911 does not have side vents, with more graceful lines.

What reference points should be observed for parallel parking in Subject 2?

Subject 2 driving test consists of five items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. For parallel parking, there are three key reference points that require special attention. First reference point: Steer fully right: It's relatively easier to locate the parking spot through the rearview mirror. When the front horizontal yellow line of the right parking space disappears from the right rearview mirror, gradually turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Second reference point: Straighten the wheels: When observing from the driver's seat, straighten the steering wheel immediately upon seeing the rear right corner of the parking space appear in the left rearview mirror. Third reference point: Steer fully left: While turning left, observe the left rearview mirror. When the left rear wheel just touches the white dashed line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Parallel parking test criteria: 100 points deduction if the vehicle body crosses the line after parking. 10 points deduction if wheels touch the lane boundary during movement. 100 points deduction for failing to park completely within the space. 10 points deduction for not activating the left turn signal before starting. 100 points deduction for stopping during the maneuver.

How to Start a Scooter?

Most modern scooters come with both electric start and kick start methods. The details are as follows: 1. Electric Start: To use the electric start, first turn on the ignition key, then hold either the rear or front brake (either one will work), and press the electric start switch to start the engine. Once started, promptly release the electric start switch and the brake. 2. Kick Start: For kick starting, first use the main stand to prop up the scooter, turn on the ignition key, gently press down on the kick start lever with your foot until you feel it engage, then quickly and firmly push down to start the engine.

Is the BM3 Tuning Stable?

BM3 tuning is not stable and may lead to engine damage. Below are specific instructions regarding BM3 tuning: 1. TU Engines: If the engine is a B48TU, it is not recommended to install BM3 tuning, as the air-cooling system of the B48TU is inferior in performance compared to later water-cooled versions. 2. Water-Cooled Engines: BM3 tuning can increase power by 46%, which means the engine generates more heat. Without modifications to the cooling system, engine damage may occur. For water-cooled B48 engines, installing a Stage 1 BM3 tuning is relatively safer.

What is the reason for the absence of urea reflux sound after engine shutdown?

After engine shutdown, the absence of urea reflux sound may be caused by a malfunction in the urea recovery device, and it should be inspected and repaired at a 4S shop as soon as possible. Below is relevant information about automotive urea: 1. The role of automotive urea: Generally, adding urea to vehicles is primarily to reduce exhaust emissions, as diesel engine exhaust mainly consists of nitrogen oxides and carbon particles. 2. National regulations: Because vehicle exhaust emissions pose significant harm to both people and the environment. Therefore, the National IV standard implemented in 2008 in China stipulates that diesel vehicles must use automotive urea in their emission reduction systems.

What does CJ-4 diesel engine oil represent?

CJ-4 diesel engine oil represents the highest quality grade, where -4 indicates that the oil is suitable for 4-stroke diesel engines. Below are specific details about engine oil: 1. Oil Types: Engine oil grades are categorized into gasoline, diesel, and gasoline-diesel universal types. Oils starting with the letter "S" are for gasoline engines, with specifications including API SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, SN. Oils starting with the letter "C" are for diesel engines, with specifications including API CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4. If both letters are present, such as SM/CF, it indicates the oil is a gasoline-diesel universal type. 2. Letter Meanings: The further the letter after S or C is in the alphabet, the higher the oil's quality grade, indicating more stable performance and a higher oil grade. Currently, the market also classifies engine oils into three categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and synthetic oil. Correspondingly, oil grades from SA to SJ are mineral oils, SJ and SL are semi-synthetic oils, and SM and SN are full synthetic oils. In addition to oil grade identifiers, some oil packaging may feature the SAE label. SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers, which sets standard viscosity values for engine oils, such as 5W-30.
