How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror in the Car?

The method to adjust the rearview mirror in the car is: align the left edge of the mirror to just cut off your right ear in the reflection, ensuring you can't see yourself while driving. When adjusting the vertical position, place the distant horizon at the center of the mirror. The function of the rearview mirror: it reflects the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly view these areas, expanding the driver's field of vision, and enhancing safety during reversing and driving. The method to judge the distance using the rearview mirror is: 1. Use the center of the rearview mirror as a reference line. When the car body is on the outer side of the reference line and the rear vehicle cannot be fully seen, the distance is 5m; 2. When the rear vehicle is completely visible in the rearview mirror with the car body pressing on the reference line, the distance is 10m.

Adjusting the rearview mirror may seem simple, but doing it correctly can significantly enhance driving safety. I often remind new drivers: Before driving, sit properly in the driver's seat with an upright posture, not leaning against the backrest. Then gently push the rearview mirror until you can clearly see the entire rear windshield and a small section of the road behind the car in the mirror. The key is to eliminate blind spots—when moving left or right, you should be able to see some areas extending behind the vehicle. At this point, stay still and fix the mirror angle. If the mirror is positioned too low, pedestrians or riders behind the car may be easily obscured, increasing the risk of accidents. After adjustment, complement it with side mirrors to ensure full coverage of blind spots. Different car models have slight variations in mirror positions—for example, SUVs have higher placements, requiring slightly raised hands, but the principle remains the same. Regularly check for scratches or looseness on the mirror surface, and develop the habit of glancing at it every time you get in the car for added safety.

What's the reason for an automatic transmission car not being able to shift gears?

There are several reasons why an automatic transmission car cannot shift gears: the gear lock is engaged, the P gear locking mechanism is stuck and cannot reset, the shift solenoid is damaged, or the control computer malfunctions. Gear lock engaged: If the gear lock is engaged or stuck, the gear lever will inevitably be unable to shift. In this case, you can try unlocking the gear lock with a key. If that doesn't work, check the brakes. While pressing the brake pedal, observe whether the brake lights come on. If the brake lights do not illuminate, it indicates a faulty brake switch. The car's computer cannot detect whether the brake is pressed, thus preventing gear shifting. The brake switch needs to be replaced promptly. P gear locking mechanism stuck and unable to reset: The transmission P gear locking mechanism consists of a locking gear, a locking pin, and a set of action mechanisms. When the gear lever is moved to the P position, the cable drives the connecting ball pin, causing the working pin to slide and engage the locking pin pawl with the parking gear, thereby achieving parking lock. If the P gear locking mechanism is stuck and cannot reset, it needs to be manually reset. Shift solenoid damaged: When the shift solenoid is damaged, it cannot execute the shift command. In this case, a repair shop should be consulted to replace the solenoid. Control computer malfunction: In this situation, it is necessary to contact a 4S shop or repair shop for professional maintenance.

Should the car's air conditioning use recirculation mode?

The car's air conditioning should use recirculation mode, but it can also alternate between recirculation and fresh air modes depending on the situation. Recirculation helps maintain the interior temperature. If you want to quickly warm up or cool down the car, turn on the heating or cooling system first, then activate recirculation. Once the temperature is comfortable, switch to fresh air mode to prevent excessive carbon dioxide buildup and avoid oxygen deprivation. The recirculation mode prevents outside air from entering the car, circulating only the air already inside the vehicle. Its main function is temperature retention. However, since the car's interior space is limited, prolonged use of recirculation with windows closed will quickly fill the cabin with moisture from breathing and reduce oxygen levels. When driving on highways, don't keep recirculation mode on continuously. Otherwise, the air inside will become stale. On highways with fewer vehicles and good airflow, fresh air mode is sufficient as it allows outside air to enter the cabin, maintaining air freshness. Car air conditioning should alternate between recirculation and fresh air modes, using different circulation patterns for different environments, as follows: If there are odors inside the car, use fresh air mode to let the odors flow out with the air current while fresh outside air enters. If the outside environment is polluted, use recirculation mode to prevent dust from entering the cabin. For temperature retention, use recirculation mode, as it allows both cooling and heating systems to take effect quickly. If the interior side of the windshield fogs up in winter, use fresh air mode to reduce the temperature difference between inside and outside, which will eliminate the fog on the glass.
