The method to install a dash cam on the rearview mirror is as follows: 1. Remove the original rearview mirror by unscrewing the screws with a screwdriver and gently pulling it upwards to detach; 2. After removal, install the rearview mirror dash cam, which usually comes with a vehicle-specific bracket for direct fixation; 3. Once securely installed, conceal the power cable of the rearview mirror; 4. After installation, power it on for testing. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. Installing a dash cam allows for the recording of the entire driving process, including video and audio.

I've installed quite a few dash cams on rearview mirrors, and the whole process is quite straightforward. First, prepare a dedicated mount compatible with the rearview mirror—most dash cams come with adhesive tape or clips. Clean any dirt off the back of the rearview mirror to ensure no dust remains; attach the mount and press firmly for several seconds to reinforce adhesion. Then, clip on the dash cam body and adjust the angle to center the field of view. Connecting the power cable is crucial: tuck it along the top edge of the windshield into the weatherstrip, routing it all the way to the cigarette lighter or fuse box. After installation, test the recording to ensure the footage is stable. Relatedly, the quality of the adhesive tape affects longevity—choose a high-temperature-resistant type to avoid detachment in summer. Avoid wrapping the wiring around the rearview mirror pivot to prevent interference with operation. Once done, check the mounting points monthly and reattach promptly if any loosening occurs. This method suits most car models and becomes familiar after one attempt.

When installing a dash cam on the rearview mirror for the first time, I encountered some issues. The adhesive tape on the mount wasn't strong enough, causing the dash cam to fall off during bumps; the solution was to purchase industrial-grade 3M tape. The power cable routing was messy, so I tucked it into the weatherstrip using a pry tool for assistance. The angle was misaligned and blocked my view, but after reinstalling it, I centered it properly on the rearview mirror. Related to this, different rearview mirror types require different mounting methods: round-stem ones use clips, while flat ones rely on adhesive tape. Beginners are advised to watch video tutorials first and keep spare tape handy. After installation, take time to test stability: drive on bumpy roads to check for shaking. Signs of tape failure include bubbling at the edges, which requires immediate replacement. Regularly clean the lens and rearview mirror to ensure clear footage. With careful attention throughout the process, success can be achieved in one go.

Does a car need to undergo an on-site inspection in its sixth year?

New cars require an on-site inspection in their sixth year. Here are the specific details about vehicle on-site inspections: Six-year exemption for new cars: For the first six years, vehicles do not need to undergo on-site inspections at vehicle inspection stations. However, owners are still required to conduct a periodic check every two years, submit relevant documents such as compulsory traffic accident insurance certificates and vehicle and vessel tax, and collect the annual inspection label. Vehicle annual inspection time regulations: Small and micro non-commercial vehicles must be inspected every two years within the first six years. Those that meet the exemption criteria can directly apply for the inspection label. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small and micro passenger cars (excluding minivans) that are over six years but under ten years old have had their inspection cycle relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo on-site inspections twice within ten years, specifically in the sixth and eighth years.

How long can a car go without inspection?

Car inspection cannot be overdue for more than three months. If the car inspection is overdue for less than three months, you can simply make up for it and will receive a verbal warning without any fine; if the car inspection is overdue for more than three months but less than two years, you need to pay a fine and will have 3 points deducted. Here are the relevant details: If a car goes without inspection for more than two years: If a car has not been inspected for more than two years, the vehicle's file will be canceled, and it can usually be restored only after paying a fine; driving without timely annual inspection is considered illegal driving and may result in the vehicle being impounded; if a car fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped. Exemption from overdue inspection: The new regulations mainly apply to non-commercial small cars, which are exempt from inspection for the first six years, but materials must be submitted to the vehicle management office every two years. The materials include: the compulsory insurance policy and the tax payment certificate for the vehicle and vessel tax.

What does driver training for subjects mean?

Driver training for subjects refers to the learning period at a driving school, commonly known as "clocking in hours." If the required hours for each subject are not completed, the student is not eligible to take the exam. For example, Subject 1 (theoretical learning) typically requires 30 hours of study time, while Subject 2 requires 28 hours. Below is relevant information: Driving School: A driving school is a training institution that teaches safe and civilized driving and assists students in passing the vehicle management department's exams to obtain a driver's license. Categorized by directory, it falls under the training sector of the transportation industry. However, due to its high degree of marketization, a more reasonable classification would place it in the service sector of the tertiary industry. Driver Training for Subjects: Driver training for subjects is essentially the driver's license exam. Subject 1 (theoretical exam) is part of the assessment for a motor vehicle driver's license. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, includes five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Subject 3, also called the big road test, is another part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, focusing on road driving skills and knowledge of safe and civilized driving.

Automobile Air Conditioning Pressure Testing Method?

Automobile air conditioning pressure testing method is as follows: On the high and low pressure pipelines of the air conditioning system: There are pressure test ports installed respectively, which can both test the pressure of the air conditioning refrigerant pipeline and charge/discharge the refrigerant. The test port is equipped with a one-way valve with the same structure as a tire valve core. If the one-way valve is not tightly sealed, the refrigerant in the pipeline will leak, causing the air conditioning system to fail to cool. To prevent this phenomenon, ensure that the plastic sealing cap on the test port is securely tightened on the upper end of the test port. If the plastic sealing cap is missing, it should be replaced promptly. Otherwise, dirt and impurities will accumulate inside the test port, not only causing poor sealing of the one-way valve but also affecting the normal use of the test port. If the air conditioning does not cool: A simple method is to unscrew the plastic sealing cap of the test port and gently press the one-way valve with a clean, slender screwdriver. If the refrigerant is sufficient, white mist-like refrigerant will spray out. If no refrigerant overflows, it indicates that the refrigerant in the air conditioning pipeline has completely leaked.

What are the symptoms of a damaged car exhaust valve?

Exhaust valve damage can cause the engine to shake or even stall during idle. The specific effects are as follows: Effects of exhaust valve damage: It will be unable to control the amount of exhaust gas recirculation. Excessive exhaust gas participating in recirculation will affect the mixture concentration, potentially leading to difficulties in starting, engine shaking, unstable idle, weak acceleration, and other phenomena that impact engine performance. Function of the exhaust valve: The exhaust valve serves to separate oil and gas. When functioning properly, it only draws in exhaust gas and not oil. If the exhaust valve is damaged, it loses its oil-gas separation capability, potentially sucking in oil along with air. This can cause oil to enter the combustion chamber, resulting in oil burning and blue smoke emission.

Should You Press the Clutch During Intermittent Braking in Subject 3?

No, it's not necessary. You only need to lightly press the brake pedal, and generally, there's no need to press the clutch. For example, when passing through intersections or when the speed is slightly high, intermittent braking is sufficient. First, approach it without any psychological pressure and maintain a calm mindset. It's recommended to familiarize yourself with the road by taking a test drive before the exam. Being able to drive doesn't guarantee passing the road test, so knowing the road conditions and necessary precautions is always better than not knowing. Below is relevant information: Intermittent braking: First, press the brake slightly. When you feel the car decelerating noticeably, release the brake (but not completely). When you feel the car is about to lose braking control, press the brake again. Repeat this cycle. The intermittent braking technique is used to avoid locking the wheels by not pressing the brake too hard, which could prevent steering. Exam content: The Subject 3 road driving skills test includes: preparation for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed cargo trucks, and small automatic transmission cars for disabled passengers. The test covers preparation before starting, simulated nighttime lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, etc.
