The rearview mirror adjustment is located next to the door switch. Press the selection control button to adjust the rearview mirror. Adjust the rearview mirror to be parallel to the horizon, with the horizon positioned at the 1/2 point of the mirror. This ensures a clear view of the road conditions behind. The reflection of the car body should not be too minimal, as it may obscure the actual situation of vehicles behind; nor should it be excessive, as it may block the view of other vehicles. Adjust the horizon to the 2/3 position of the right rearview mirror, with the car body reflection occupying 1/4 of the mirror.

As a frequent driver of the Chevrolet Cruze, I'd like to share some tips on adjusting the rearview mirrors. The Cruze's mirror adjustment button is usually located on the driver's side door, featuring a small joystick or directional pad. First, settle into your driving position and adjust the seat for comfort. Then, use your finger to push the control lever to the left to select the left mirror, and move the joystick up, down, left, or right to adjust the mirror angle. Make sure to position the mirror so you can see part of your car's body and the road behind you, minimizing blind spots. Remember to adjust before driving or when stationary—never fiddle with it while the car is moving. It's also a good habit to regularly check if the mirrors are loose or fogged up, as I've experienced several misjudgments that compromised safety. I recommend getting a small rearview mirror accessory to help prevent glare from headlights at night. The whole process is simple and practical, and with a bit of practice, it'll become second nature.

What are the issues with cloned license plate vehicles?

Disrupting public security control by authorities and creating social instability factors. Cloned license plate vehicles not only severely interfere with good road traffic order but also increase the probability of traffic accidents. Moreover, since these vehicles lack legal documentation and insurance, drivers are highly likely to flee the scene in case of an accident, significantly increasing the difficulty of case investigation. Cloned license plates refer to altering the vehicle frame number, engine number, or 17-digit code to match another vehicle's model and fully replicate its documentation. Cloned license plate vehicles, commonly known as ghost cars, are vehicles that operate on the road using forged or illegally obtained license plates and registration documents from other vehicles. This includes vehicles using counterfeit or altered license plates, those using license plates from other vehicles, and those obtaining license plates through fraudulent or bribery means. Due to lax management of vehicles and license plates, the practice of cloning license plates has been escalating—from cloning civilian plates to specialized, military, and police plates, and from modified or assembled vehicles to scrapped or stolen vehicles, even extending to reacquiring vehicle plates through deception or bribery.

What is the purpose of a car GPS jammer?

Car GPS jammers can block GPS satellite positioning systems. The car GPS satellite positioning system is currently the most widely used satellite positioning system in the world, capable of providing functions such as vehicle tracking, route navigation, information query, traffic command, and emergency rescue. While the GPS satellite positioning system has added much convenience to people's lives, it has also brought some troubles and even threats to personal safety. As a result, GPS jammers emerged. For example, after a car financing company provides money to the original car owner, they temporarily gain control of the vehicle. To prevent the original owner from secretly taking the car back, such companies purchase GPS jamming devices to install in the parking lot where the car is stored and on the vehicle itself, making it impossible for the original owner to locate the car, thereby protecting their financial assets. On the other hand, when purchasing a financed vehicle from such a company, buyers inevitably worry about post-purchase security: Could someone have installed a tracker on the vehicle? Could the car be driven away in the middle of the night after parking? Therefore, to ensure the safety of their property, buyers may also purchase dedicated GPS signal jammers for added security.

Does a Slightly Deformed Steering Knuckle Need Replacement?

Steering knuckles with slight deformation must be replaced. The steering knuckle arm, commonly known as the "sheep horn" in Chinese, is one of the main components in a car's steering system. It ensures stable driving and sensitive transmission of driving direction, bearing the front weight of the vehicle and enduring variable impacts from the road surface during driving. Therefore, designers generally design the steering knuckle with high strength. The steering knuckle serves as the hinge for wheel steering, typically shaped like a fork, with two coaxial holes on the upper and lower forks for installing the kingpin. The steering knuckle spindle is used to mount the wheel. The two ears with pin holes on the steering knuckle are connected to the fist-shaped parts at both ends of the front axle via the kingpin, allowing the front wheels to pivot around the kingpin at a certain angle to enable steering. When the steering knuckle has issues, the car may exhibit poor steering return, abnormal front tire wear, easy damage to wheel bearings, and unusual body noises. The so-called "broken axle" cars in the news actually break the steering knuckle, not the axle. If the steering knuckle fractures, the car's wheels may directly fall off. The steering knuckle is crucial for vehicle handling and driving safety. If there are any problems with the steering knuckle, it is essential to promptly visit a 4S store or repair shop for repair or replacement.

What Are the Reasons for the Key Not Being Detected by One-Button Start?

Key battery dead, poor battery contact, signal interference, or internal system issues can cause the one-button start to fail to detect the key. Key battery dead: If the key indicator light does not illuminate when any button on the key is pressed, it means the key battery is dead, and the key naturally cannot be sensed. Poor battery contact: Poor contact of the internal button battery prevents the power from being delivered to the key. Signal interference: The car key cannot sense the vehicle because there is a signal interference source nearby, and the interference signal it emits blocks the sensing between the key and the vehicle. Internal system issues: Some cars' internal systems have errors after upgrades, causing the key and vehicle sensing information to mismatch, making it impossible to start the vehicle. Solutions for the key not being detected by one-button start: If the key battery is dead, replace the battery to ensure the key has power to sense and start the vehicle. For poor battery contact, open the key battery cover, adjust the battery position, or remove and reposition the battery to check if it powers on. For signal interference, provide electromagnetic shielding for the car start sensing pad or locate and turn off the interference source to prevent signal interference. Internal system issues cannot be resolved on your own; seek help from a professional mechanic or tow the vehicle to a nearby 4S shop for repair and inspection.

Does the Santana have a locking beep?

The Santana has a locking beep, which can remind the owner whether the car is locked properly. To enable the locking beep function, select the locking option in the car's onboard computer settings and click 'Locking ON'. Methods to activate the locking beep: 1. Set via the car's central control. Find the 'Vehicle Settings' option in the car's system, then enter the 'Control Page', and enable 'Locking Beep' in the control page. The horn will sound when locking the car, indicating activation is complete. 2. Set via the key. If the car key has a mute button, simply press the mute button towards the car to turn the locking beep on or off. 3. Modify ECU settings. If there is no mute button on the car key and it cannot be set in the car's system, then only a professional can help modify the ECU data. Reasons why the locking beep does not sound: If there is no beep when locking the car, it may be due to accidentally pressing the mute button on the key. When the owner presses the mute button, the car's locking beep will disappear. At this time, simply press the mute button towards the car again to turn the locking beep back on. If the car still does not emit a beep when locking after pressing the mute button, it proves that the buzzer is damaged. In this case, the only solution is to replace the buzzer.

Should New Tires Be Inflated to a Higher Pressure?

No, tire pressure should be maintained within the normal range. What is the standard tire pressure: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Related question: Is a tire pressure of 2.0 bar normal? No. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. A pressure of 2.0 bar is below the minimum recommended value, so it is not normal. What is the normal tire pressure in winter? – In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure for the vehicle, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2 bar. What is the normal tire pressure in summer? Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for the vehicle is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures.
