Place the horizontal line at the center line of the rearview mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy a quarter of the mirror's image. Place the horizontal line at two-thirds of the rearview mirror's height, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy a quarter of the mirror's image. Adjust the left and right position so that the left edge of the mirror just shows the right ear of the driver in the reflection.

I have my own method for adjusting the rearview mirrors. After getting in the car, I first settle into the driver's seat and fix the seatback and steering wheel positions. The left mirror should be adjusted so that the car body occupies one-quarter of the view from the driver's seat, with the distant horizon at the center of the mirror. The right mirror is a bit more complicated—the car body also takes up one-quarter of the space, but I intentionally angle it slightly downward to show more of the ground, making it easier to see the curb when reversing. The interior rearview mirror is simple—just align it with the rear window. Before every long trip, I make it a habit to check these angles, especially since frequent lane changes on highways directly impact safety. Once, I tried attaching small convex mirrors to the side mirrors, and they really reduced the blind spots significantly.

What are the reasons for frequent DPF regeneration?

There are three main reasons for frequent DPF regeneration. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Use of low-quality gasoline: Inferior gasoline contains a large amount of impurities and carbon compounds, which leads to increased particulate matter in the vehicle's exhaust, making the DPF more prone to clogging. 2. Not using low-ash engine oil: Low-ash engine oil contains fewer impurities and is more suitable for use in China VI vehicles. Failure to use low-ash engine oil increases the likelihood of DPF clogging. 3. Long-term low-speed driving: Driving at low speeds reduces the fuel combustion efficiency of the vehicle, resulting in an increase in fine particles in the exhaust.

Why can't a C1 license drive a 7-seater car?

Why can't a C1 license drive a 7-seater car? The vehicles that a C1 license can drive must have a mass not exceeding 4,500 kilograms, accommodate no more than 9 people, and have a total length of less than 6 meters. Therefore, a C1 license holder is permitted to drive vehicles with fewer than 9 seats. Below is relevant information: 1. A C1 license allows driving C2 vehicles, but a C2 license does not permit driving C1 vehicles. Without a D or E license, one cannot drive a motorcycle. Driving in violation of traffic regulations constitutes unlicensed driving. 2. A C1 license also permits driving vehicles under the C2, C3, and C4 categories. 3. C2 refers to "small automatic transmission vehicles," commonly known as automatic transmission cars. 4. C3 refers to "low-speed cargo vehicles," typically agricultural vehicles. 5. C4 refers to "three-wheeled vehicles," common three-wheeled cars. Note that dual tires mounted together count as one wheel.

Is It Legal to Modify Car Lights?

It depends on how you modify them. Generally, modified car lights cannot pass the annual inspection. Here are the reasons why modified car lights may fail the annual inspection: 1. Unqualified modifications: During the annual inspection, the vehicle's appearance must match that on the vehicle registration certificate. Excessive modifications will not pass. However, if the modification is only internal to the lights and the light emission meets regulations, it will not be an issue. 2. Light brightness: As is well known, everything has a usage cycle, and car lights are no exception. They naturally age, leading to dim lighting. Some may also be due to poor-quality lights, resulting in insufficient brightness. Regardless of the reason, if the light brightness is insufficient, it will not pass the annual inspection. 3. Light angle: The angle of car lights is strictly regulated by the state to prevent glare and avoid harming other vehicles or pedestrians. The most typical issue is high beams. Modifying xenon lights without adding lenses can cause scattered light, affecting pedestrians and other vehicles.
