Methods for reversing into the garage with one side wide and one side narrow: 1. Left wide and right narrow: You must turn the steering wheel earlier than usual, and the rear of the car will move straight toward the left rear. Then observe the rearview mirror. When you see that the distance between the left and right rear wheels and the garage edge is the same, straighten the steering wheel. 2. Left narrow and right wide: You must straighten the steering wheel 1-2 seconds later than usual. The rear of the car will then move toward the right rear. Then observe the rearview mirror. When you see that the distance between the left and right rear wheels and the garage edge is the same, straighten the steering wheel. Precautions for reversing into the garage: 1. There is a key point in reversing into the garage, which is that the distance between the car body and the garage corner should be 30 cm. As long as you find this point, reversing into the garage is actually not difficult. If it is more than 30 cm, you must turn the steering wheel fully; if it is less, you must adjust it back. If it is too narrow, you can straighten the wheel first and then make adjustments. During the reversing process, you must remain steady, and the speed should be slow, so that you will have time to adjust the car. 2. During the reversing process, you must step on the clutch properly, and the speed must be steady. If the speed is slow, even if you miss a point during the process, you will still have time to correct the car. It is best to wear thick-soled shoes when driving, preferably travel shoes with a thin front and a thick back with a slight slope. Thick soles make it much easier and more stable to step on the clutch, which is very suitable for beginners. 3. Turn the steering wheel fully early rather than late. If you turn it fully early, you can still adjust it back, but if you turn it fully late, there is no way to fix it. 4. The car body must enter the garage. Many people fail the test because the car body does not enter the garage. The reasons for the car body not entering the garage are either missing the point or stepping on the clutch and brake in a hurry due to excessive speed. Therefore, it is still necessary to control the speed. 5. After the car body enters the garage, pay attention to the two rearview mirrors to adjust the car body. Turn the steering wheel toward the side where the rear of the car is wider.

Should the handbrake be engaged or released while driving?

When driving, the handbrake should be released, and when parking, the handbrake should be engaged. Its function is to keep the vehicle stationary when parked, preventing it from rolling downhill. Precautions for using the handbrake: 1. Avoid pulling it too tightly to prevent system damage; 2. Avoid using the handbrake for long-term parking on slopes; 3. Do not engage the handbrake while driving at high speeds; 4. Release the handbrake before starting the car. Driving with the handbrake engaged can damage the braking system, with the following hazards: 1. Accelerated wear of the brake discs and hardening of the brake pads due to overheating, leading to reduced braking performance; 2. Excessive wear of the handbrake brake pads, causing damage to the drive shaft; 3. Locking of the rear wheels and snapping of the handbrake cable, which may result in skidding or rollover.

How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in a Car Be Changed?

When a vehicle reaches a mileage of 40,000 kilometers or has been in use for 2 years, the transmission fluid needs to be changed. However, if the owner has purchased a Japanese model, the replacement interval can be slightly extended, and the fluid can be changed when the mileage reaches approximately 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Below is a related introduction about transmission fluid: The function of transmission fluid: It is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, lubricates to extend the lifespan of the transmission device, and provides effective lubrication even under low-temperature conditions, reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Characteristics of transmission fluid: Most transmission fluids can be used in automatic transmissions currently available on the market. In fact, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicles will vary in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors affecting the quality of gear shifting.

Why Does Water Come Out of a Car's Exhaust Pipe?

Water coming out of a car's exhaust pipe is caused by the complete combustion of gasoline, which produces only carbon dioxide and water. When gasoline combusts in the engine cylinders, the temperature ranges from 400 to 800 degrees Celsius. Under high temperatures, water is vaporized. In cold weather, the vaporized water is condensed by the exhaust pipe into water mist, which then accumulates into droplets and flows out. The car's exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. This helps reduce vibration and noise, facilitates installation, and extends the lifespan of the exhaust and muffler system. Its structure consists of a double-layered corrugated pipe covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings at both ends. To enhance noise reduction, the corrugated pipe may include an expansion joint or an additional mesh sleeve inside.

Is It Safe to Send Your Vehicle License to Others?

It is not safe to send photos of your vehicle license to others. It is best not to share it, as the vehicle license contains detailed and important information, including the license plate number, owner's name, vehicle model, and address. Protecting personal information is crucial. The risks of sharing your vehicle license are as follows: The original vehicle's engine number and chassis number can be copied after being ground off, and a fake vehicle license can be forged, resulting in two identical vehicles with the same records. All illegal penalties for the cloned vehicle will be recorded on the original vehicle, allowing the offender to evade responsibility while causing unnecessary demerit points and financial losses to the original owner. Therefore, if someone requests a photo of your vehicle license claiming it is for business purposes, it is still best not to provide it. If your vehicle license is lost, you should promptly apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office and have the old license revoked to prevent it from being misused by others.
