Align the right quarter of the car's hood with the garage boundary line and proceed slowly. Stop when the front left corner of the garage appears in the right rearview mirror.

I've been driving for many years, and finding the 30 cm distance for parallel parking relies on experience and rearview mirror assistance. After pulling up parallel to the curb, I always check the right rearview mirror: when the curb appears in the lower middle part of the mirror, it's roughly 30 cm. In my early days, I often made mistakes, but later realized that adjusting speed is crucial—going too fast easily overshoots the line, so I keep moving slowly and stop to check the actual distance if the position feels off. Practice makes perfect—I recommend finding an open space, placing a dummy marker, and repeatedly practicing parking until muscle memory takes over, eliminating the need to constantly glance at the mirror. For safety, don’t just focus on the distance; ensure there are no pedestrians or vehicles around to avoid scraping the curb.

What are the sequelae of windshield replacement?

Sequelae of windshield replacement include: 1. The glass adhesive and the windshield cannot fit tightly; 2. Wind may enter through the gap between the windshield and the car body, increasing interior noise; 3. When driving on bumpy roads, you may feel a shaking or knocking sound from the front of the car. Methods to maintain the windshield are: 1. Use specialized or suitable wiper blades and replace them in time to avoid scratching the windshield; 2. Remove debris from the windshield; 3. Use automotive-specific glass cleaner. The car windshield is a relatively large piece of glass on the vehicle, serving to shield against wind and rain, as well as resist flying stones, gravel, and other debris, ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers.

What to Do If the Radiator Is Leaking?

Solutions for radiator leakage: 1. Take it to a repair shop for inspection and replace the radiator if necessary; 2. If the leakage persists, check whether the radiator cap is properly fastened. Try pressurizing the radiator to identify the exact leakage point before deciding on a repair plan; 3. Unscrew the engine oil filler cap to check for signs of oil emulsification. If found, disassemble the engine to replace the cylinder head gasket. Do not drive if the radiator is leaking, as insufficient water or coolant will prevent the engine from cooling properly. This may cause cylinder scuffing or bearing seizure due to overheating, which is extremely dangerous and could prevent the engine from starting.

How to Adjust Seat Height?

Seat height adjustment methods vary by vehicle model. For power seats, there are usually several adjustment buttons on the left side; for manual seats, some vehicles have a lever on the lower right side of the seat, while others have it on the left side. Front-rear adjustments are typically located at the lower front part of the seat. Many novice drivers, fearing they can't see the hood, adjust the seat too high for better visibility. However, this is unnecessary as excessively high seating may actually impair distant visibility. For most sedans and SUVs, maintain 1-2 fist widths between your head and the roof, ensuring your eye level is slightly above the vertical center of the windshield.

Do Electronic Insurance Policies Need to Be Displayed?

Electronic insurance policies need to be displayed, otherwise unnecessary trouble may arise when encountering traffic police inspections. Electronic insurance policies also come with vehicle stickers, which can be printed at a service center and affixed to the front windshield of the car, or you can request the staff to print the sticker directly when processing the insurance. Differences between electronic and paper insurance policies: 1. Different forms: Electronic policies are in digital form and can be viewed online; paper policies are in physical form and can only be viewed on paper. 2. Different issuance speeds: Electronic policies are issued faster, easier to store, and have no geographical restrictions; paper policies are issued slower, less convenient to store, and can be troublesome to locate when needed.

What is the working principle of an air flow meter?

Air flow meter works by maintaining a constant voltage, while the intake air volume changes the resistance of the air flow meter, thereby altering the current, which is then transmitted to the vehicle's ECU. The air flow sensor, also known as the air flow meter, is one of the key sensors in an electronic fuel injection engine. It converts the intake air flow into an electrical signal and sends it to the ECU as one of the fundamental signals for determining fuel injection. It is a sensor that measures the air flow entering the engine. With the introduction of microcomputers for fuel injection control, several other types of air flow sensors have emerged, such as the vane-type air flow sensor and the Karman vortex air flow sensor.
