To adjust Volkswagen rearview mirrors, press the electric adjustment button on the driver's door panel. The rearview mirrors are located on both sides at the front of the car and inside the vehicle's cabin. They reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly observe these areas and expand their field of vision. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Santana as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4475mm, width 1706mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2603mm, fuel tank capacity 52.8 liters, and trunk capacity 466 liters.

I've been driving a Volkswagen for many years, and adjusting the rearview mirrors is all about the details. The center rearview mirror is on the windshield, and I gently push or pull it by hand to ensure it's aligned with the center of the rear window, providing a full view of the road behind. The side mirrors are on the doors, and most Volkswagen models have electric buttons—just press the control to move them up, down, left, or right. While adjusting, I check the mirror's field of view to make sure it shows just a small portion of my car's rear, eliminating blind spots when turning. I always check before driving, adjusting only after fixing the seat position. On rainy days, I also clean the mirror surface to prevent glare. Before long trips, I like to readjust them because seat movement can affect visibility—safety comes first.

Why Do Only Chinese Cars Drive on the Left Side?

It is not only China that drives on the left side. Chinese cars drive on the left because the traffic direction in our country is right-hand drive. Following the principle of placing the driver's seat closer to the centerline of the road ensures better road safety, which is why vehicles in China are left-hand drive. In general, the distinction between left-hand and right-hand drive cars depends on whether the local traffic is left-hand or right-hand drive. The position of the driver's seat is closely related to the country's traffic regulations. For example, in China, where traffic keeps to the right, placing the driver's seat on the left ensures that the driver is closer to the center of the road, providing better visibility on the left side. If an oncoming vehicle approaches, the driver can observe it immediately, making it easier to maneuver and avoid collisions. Conversely, in countries that favor left-hand traffic, the driver's seat is placed on the right for the same reasons. Traffic direction can be divided into two categories: driving on the left side of the road and driving on the right side of the road. 34% of countries drive on the left, while 66% drive on the right. If calculated by road mileage, 28% of the world's drivable roads are left-hand traffic, and 72% are right-hand traffic. There are 75 countries and regions that drive on the left, and 165 that drive on the right. Right-hand drive, left-hand traffic countries are primarily island nations like the UK, Japan, and former British Commonwealth regions such as Hong Kong and Australia. Left-hand drive, right-hand traffic countries are mostly continental nations like the United States and China.

Why is the image of the reversing camera reversed?

The reasons for the reversed image of the reversing camera: 1. The front and rear cameras are installed incorrectly, mistakenly placing the front camera at the rear of the car. If the rearview camera is used as the frontview camera, the image on the display will be reversed left and right; 2. It could be a system setting issue. You can re-engage the reverse gear, find the settings button in the navigation device under the reversing camera mode, check if there is a mirror adjustment or reversing mirror function, and then click to turn it off. The reversing camera uses a far-infrared wide-angle camera device, combined with lighting, ensuring clear visibility even at night. Some cars have cameras all around the body, and the in-car display can simultaneously receive videos from all around the car, providing a very clear view of the outside situation, making it more convenient.

Can I drive immediately after getting my driver's license?

Obtaining a driver's license means you are officially allowed to drive, indicating that you have passed all required tests and become a qualified driver. Driving on the road is now legal. However, you must display a novice driver sign on your vehicle and are not allowed to drive on highways. Precautions for new drivers: Display a qualified novice driver sign promptly: Many new drivers know to display a novice driver sign at the rear of the vehicle, but it must be the official sign designated by traffic authorities with the word "Novice" clearly marked. Drive on familiar roads whenever possible: New drivers should stick to roads they are familiar with to avoid getting lost or taking unnecessary detours. Prepare in advance for lane changes and turns: Sudden lane changes or turns can force vehicles behind to brake abruptly, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, new drivers must check the rearview mirror, judge the distance carefully, and signal in advance before changing lanes or turning. Pay attention to rearview mirrors: New drivers often forget to check rearview mirrors, which can lead to scratches or collisions during turns or reversing. Observe traffic signs in advance: Some new drivers tend to overlook distant traffic signs, which may result in traffic violations. Brake early: Develop the habit of easing off the accelerator and moving your foot to the brake pedal as soon as you notice traffic congestion ahead. Beware of blind spots: New drivers often neglect blind spots, increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, both the front and rear of the vehicle have blind spots, so it's important to estimate distances carefully to avoid collisions.

How Many Types of Fuel Additives Are There?

There are three types of fuel additives: maintenance-type fuel additives, cleaning-type fuel additives, and fuel combustion enhancers. The functions of fuel additives are to compensate for certain deficiencies in fuel properties and impart new beneficial characteristics to the fuel. These are functional substances added to fuel in trace amounts. Fuel additives are typically added to the fuel tank when the fuel is nearly or completely depleted, before refueling. The additive is added first, followed by fuel to ensure even mixing. It is essential to add the fuel additive before refueling because adding it after refueling may result in uneven mixing with the fuel, potentially reducing the additive's intended effectiveness.
