Tiida rearview mirror adjustment method: The Tiida's rearview mirror adjustment switch is located on the door armrest, and it can be adjusted by pressing the up, down, left, and right directional buttons. Owners should note that they first need to move the switch to the L or R position, after which they can adjust the desired mirror in all directions. In terms of safety features, the Tiida is equipped with an Intelligent Active Safety System, which includes the FEB Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking system. When the vehicle is traveling at speeds between 10 km/h and 80 km/h, the FEB system continuously monitors pedestrians or vehicles directly ahead. If the system determines there is a risk of collision, it provides early warnings through audible alerts and the TFT display on the instrument panel, and actively applies emergency braking to avoid collision hazards.

I've been driving for almost twenty years, so adjusting the rearview mirrors is second nature to me. When you get into the driver's seat, don't rush to start the engine. First, locate the round dial on the front of the left door armrest—that's the control knob. Turn it left to the 'L' position, then push the knob up, down, left, or right to adjust the left mirror accordingly. When adjusting, make sure you can see a bit of your car's door handle in the mirror for reference. The right mirror works the same way—just turn the knob to 'R' before adjusting. It's best to do this while parked on the side of the road; adjusting while driving is too dangerous. The Tiida's mirrors come with a heating feature that's especially handy—it defogs and removes water droplets on rainy days. The switch is among the buttons on the air conditioning panel. Properly adjusted mirrors make lane changes and reversing much safer. Every time I lend my car to someone, I have to readjust them when I get it back.

Should the engine be turned off when refueling the car?

Vehicles must be turned off when refueling. This is because gasoline and its vapors have very low ignition points and flash points, requiring minimal energy to ignite. Below are precautions for car refueling: 1. Refuel promptly: The fuel pump generates heat during operation. Insufficient fuel prevents timely cooling, accelerating wear. It's advisable to refuel when the tank is down to one-quarter. 2. Fuel quality: Always choose reputable gas stations, preferably state-owned ones. 3. Octane rating: Pay attention to the required octane rating, usually indicated on the fuel cap. While a car requiring 95 octane can run on 92, prolonged use may affect performance. 4. Fuel quantity: Avoid overfilling to minimize trips to the station. Stop at the first click of the nozzle, indicating the tank is approximately 80-90% full. This leaves adequate space for fuel vapor expansion.

Can You Switch Between D and M Gears While Driving?

You can switch between D and M gears while driving. Here is a detailed introduction to the M gear in cars: 1. Usage Method: The M gear refers to the manual/automatic transmission gear in modern cars. When the gear lever is shifted into M gear, gear shifting becomes manually controlled by the driver. Near the M gear, there are "+" or "-" symbols, where "+" indicates upshifting and "-" indicates downshifting. Alternatively, gear changes can be made using paddle shifters on the steering wheel. 2. Purpose of M Gear: The M gear is primarily used for driving in more challenging conditions, such as steep slopes, hence also known as the climbing gear. The M gear can also be used for overtaking; engaging the M gear provides greater traction, and after completing the overtaking maneuver, the gear can be shifted back to D.

What Causes the Engine to Shake Every Few Seconds at Idle?

Engine shaking every few seconds at idle is most commonly caused by a misfire. Here are the relevant details: 1. Causes of Misfire: There are many factors that can lead to a misfire. For example, issues with the ignition system—check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or weak sparking from the spark plugs can also cause this type of issue. The solution is to check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. 2. Severe Engine Carbon Buildup: The most common reason for car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injectors can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in a lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making the engine difficult to start.

Should You Downshift or Upshift When Going Uphill?

You should downshift when going uphill. The principles and techniques for downshifting on an incline are as follows. Principles of Downshifting: When a car is climbing a hill, the resistance to forward motion increases due to gravity. Lower gears provide greater traction force transmitted to the wheels, while higher gears allow the wheels to rotate at higher speeds. Since climbing requires greater traction force, downshifting is necessary. Downshifting Techniques: When needing to decelerate and downshift, first apply the brakes, then press the clutch, and finally downshift. Alternatively, you can shift directly to neutral without pressing anything; this method can also achieve the effect of downshifting and deceleration. Another approach is to press the clutch first, downshift, and then press the accelerator; while releasing the clutch, give a slight throttle input to maintain a gradual descent and smooth transition. This way, when engaging the lower gear, there will be minimal shaking or jerking sensations.

What does a warning light with a circle and six dots indicate?

A warning light with a circle and six dots indicates brake pad wear, signaling the need for replacement or inspection of the brake pads. Below are the replacement criteria for brake pads: 1. Mileage: Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads should be replaced approximately every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. If severe wear is detected, immediate replacement is necessary. 2. Wear level: Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the thickness wears down to one-third of the original, or less than 5 millimeters, it is recommended to replace them promptly. If a metallic scraping sound is heard during braking, this may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to the minimum thickness, with the wear indicators touching the brake disc and causing noise, requiring immediate replacement. If the brake pedal feels lighter than usual, or if braking feels difficult or ineffective, this suggests significant wear and insufficient thickness of the brake pads, also necessitating prompt replacement.

Can motorcycles share the same lane with cars?

Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles and should travel in the motor vehicle lane. Definition of motor vehicle: A motor vehicle refers to wheeled vehicles powered or towed by a power device, used for carrying passengers, transporting goods, or performing specialized engineering operations on roads. This includes two-wheeled motorcycles and light motorcycles, which are all considered motor vehicles. On highways and urban roadways, the lane between the first lane division line on the right and the center line is designated as the motor vehicle lane, exclusively for motor vehicle traffic. Therefore, motorcycles should travel within these lanes. Introduction to motorcycles: Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles powered by gasoline engines, steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. They are lightweight, agile, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and also serve as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles can be categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes, among others.
