There is an electric rearview mirror adjustment button on the driver's door of the Volkswagen Lavida. The specific operations are as follows: 1. First, select whether to adjust the left or right rearview mirror. The white marking line on the knob pointing to L indicates adjusting the left rearview mirror. The white marking line pointing to R indicates adjusting the right rearview mirror. 2. Then move the knob up, down, left, or right to adjust the appropriate rearview angle. 3. Twist upward: Tilt the rearview mirror upward to see higher scenery. 4. Twist downward: Tilt the rearview mirror downward to see lower scenery. 5. Twist left: Expand the rearview mirror outward to see a wider view. 6. Twist right: Contract the rearview mirror inward to see a narrower view.

After driving the Lavida for so many years, I usually adjust the rearview mirrors before setting off. The round knob on the driver's door panel is the adjustment switch—rotate it to L for the left mirror and R for the right mirror. Press and hold the knob while pushing it up, down, left, or right to move the mirror angle. My experience is to position the car body to occupy one-fourth of the left mirror and ensure the right mirror shows a bit of the wheel. After adjusting, remember to return the knob to the neutral position to avoid accidental touches. Recently, while adjusting the mirrors for my wife's car, I noticed that the position might differ across different model years of the Lavida—older models have it near the door handle, while newer ones integrate it near the window control area. It’s quite convenient to adjust it yourself, but if you can’t find the button, just check the manual.

Do Brake Discs Need to Be Replaced Frequently?

Brake discs generally need to be replaced when the vehicle has traveled 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Here are the criteria for determining when to replace brake discs: 1. Observe the brake disc warning light: Normally, the brake disc indicator light is off. When there is a fault or excessive wear in the brake disc, the light turns on and goes off after repair. When the warning light is on, the brake disc has worn to its limit, braking performance has decreased, significantly affecting driving safety. Therefore, car owners should regularly check the wear condition of the brake discs to see if they are still usable, rather than relying solely on the warning light. 2. Check the thickness of the brake disc: Most brake disc products have wear indicators, which are three small pits distributed on the disc surface. Using a vernier caliper, the depth of these small pits is measured to be 1.5mm. This means that when the total wear depth on both sides of the brake disc reaches 3mm, the car owner should promptly replace the brake disc.

How High is the Surface Temperature of a Car in Summer?

In summer, the surface temperature of light-colored cars is approximately 40-50 degrees Celsius, while dark-colored cars can reach 70-80 degrees. Below are specific details about car temperatures: 1. Car Temperature: When a car is parked outdoors in 40°C high temperatures and exposed to the sun for a long time, the interior temperature can exceed 70 degrees, reaching up to 90 degrees. In summer, outdoor temperatures in most regions can reach around 40°C. However, most car interiors are black, which absorbs heat more easily. Combined with the enclosed environment, the temperature inside the car can rise sharply over time, creating a sauna-like effect. 2. Car Usage Precautions: Avoid placing flammable or explosive items inside the car; if the car is parked outdoors, it is recommended to use a car cover to shield the body or a sunshade to cover the front windshield to avoid direct sunlight; always open the doors to ventilate before entering the car, and you can turn on the air conditioning to cool down before getting in.
