Methods to check a car's production date: You can find the production date through the vehicle identification plate, VIN number, or the car's user manual. The vehicle identification plate is located in the engine compartment, while the VIN number can be found at the lower left corner of the windshield, on the hinge pillar, door lock post, or edge of the driver's side door, and sometimes in the engine compartment. The vehicle identification plate is a tag that indicates the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the vehicle model, engine model, engine displacement, engine rated power, vehicle identification number, gross weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, manufacturing serial number, production month and year, country of manufacture, and manufacturer name.

How to fold the side mirrors on both sides of the vehicle?

There are two ways to fold the side mirrors on both sides of the vehicle: manual and automatic. For manual folding, the driver must reach out the window or step out of the vehicle to fold the mirrors. Automatic folding is typically achieved by pressing the automatic folding button for the mirrors or rotating the button to the automatic folding position, after which both side mirrors will fold simultaneously. Below is additional information about mirrors: 1. Industry standards and characteristics of car mirrors: Car mirrors are important safety components, and their surface and shape are carefully designed. Therefore, the quality and installation of mirrors are subject to industry standards and cannot be altered arbitrarily. 2. The side mirrors reflect the rear and side areas of the vehicle, while the lower mirrors reflect the front and lower areas of the vehicle. The interior mirror reflects the rear and interior of the vehicle. Due to their different purposes, the mirror structures also vary. Generally, there are two types of mirror surfaces: flat mirrors, which, as the name suggests, have a flat surface—technically described as having an "infinite surface curvature radius R"—similar to household mirrors, providing an image of the same size as seen by the naked eye. These flat mirrors are commonly used as interior mirrors.

Why is the engine exhaust pipe black?

The reasons for the blackening of the exhaust pipe are as follows: 1. Poor fuel quality. The quality of fuel directly affects the working efficiency of the engine, and a large amount of impurities not only hinder the normal operation of the engine but also serve as a source of blackening. 2. Insufficient mixing of fuel and air. Inadequate mixing leads to uneven combustion, naturally resulting in incomplete combustion. 3. Turbocharged direct-injection engines are relatively more prone to blackening. Due to the high speed of the turbocharger in turbocharged engines, the mixture of fuel and air varies significantly before and after the turbo kicks in, making it difficult to control the concentration of the air-fuel mixture. Poor adjustment can cause some fuel to burn incompletely, leading to blackening. 4. Faulty catalytic converter. If the catalytic converter is damaged, its secondary oxygen sensor cannot provide accurate data to the engine control unit, causing the air-fuel mixture to become either too lean or too rich. Particularly when the mixture is too rich, symptoms such as increased fuel consumption, incomplete combustion, and severe carbon buildup in the cylinders and spark plugs may occur.
