I've been driving for almost twenty years and have always had to deal with wiper issues. To lift the wiper arm, the simple method starts with turning off the ignition—remove the car key to prevent the wipers from accidentally activating and injuring your hand. Some models require a maintenance mode: insert the key and turn it to a position where the circuit is on, but don’t start the engine, then quickly press the wiper switch once to stop it in the middle of the windshield. After that, turn off the ignition to cut the power. At this point, the wiper arm will be loose, and you can gently lift it—move smoothly and avoid jerking to prevent scratching the windshield or damaging the linkage. I often do this in winter when snow covers the wipers to prevent the rubber blades from freezing and deforming. After handling, simply restore power to reset. Remember, forcibly lifting the wipers directly may damage the motor, and repairs can be costly, so developing good habits is essential.

What to Pay Attention to When Picking Up a Motorcycle

What issues should be paid attention to. 1. Appearance: A complete appearance, no scratches on the body, uniform paint, no loose screws, and no missing parts are the most basic requirements. 2. Dashboard self-check: When turning on the ignition switch, the dashboard will automatically perform a self-check to see if the tachometer needle and various indicator lights are functioning properly. 3. Lights: Test the running lights, low beams, high beams, passing lights, left and right turn signals, front and rear brake lights, and hazard lights. It's not just about whether the lights turn on but also testing the integrity of the connecting circuits. If any light doesn't turn on or there's a delay, the dealer is responsible for debugging it. 4. Wiring harness: Check if the wiring harness is neat. If the wiring is not neatly organized, it can not only affect the operation of the handlebars but also cause wear and tear on the wires. For example: Some motorcycles have messy wiring harnesses, which can cause significant wear on the wires during clutch operation while riding. One day, the wire might suddenly break. 5. Oils: Some manufacturers do not fill the motorcycle with sufficient engine oil and brake fluid before leaving the factory. Or, during transportation, due to regulations prohibiting any oil products, the dealer has to add them themselves, resulting in varying quality. For these two reasons, it is essential to check the levels of brake fluid and engine oil when picking up the motorcycle. If there is any deficiency, you can coordinate with the dealer or replace them yourself later.

Will Fuel Consumption Decrease After the First Maintenance of a New Car?

New car fuel consumption is unrelated to the first maintenance but related to the break-in period. Here is the relevant information: 1. First maintenance: The first maintenance is done at a 4S dealership, where the oil used is the same as the original oil in the car, so there is no change in the oil itself—it just becomes cleaner. Other aspects are just routine checks, and the engine program will not be adjusted via computer; at most, they will check for any fault codes and whether the data is normal. Therefore, fuel consumption is unrelated to the first maintenance itself. 2. Break-in period: Fuel consumption is somewhat related to the break-in period, but it is not significantly tied to the mechanical break-in itself—it has more to do with the driver. Mechanically, during the break-in period, the fit between moving parts is not yet perfect, resulting in relatively higher friction, less smooth movement, and greater resistance, which leads to higher fuel consumption.

What to Do When Driving License Points Are Reduced to Zero?

If a driving license accumulates zero points within one cycle, the driver must attend a seven-day training course at the local traffic management department of the public security authority. After completing the training, the driver must retake the subject one exam. The process is as follows: the traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate the driving license; the driver must participate in the study of road traffic safety laws and regulations and take the exam as required; upon passing the exam, the traffic management department will clear the penalty points and return the driving license. After accumulating 12 penalty points on a driving license, the driver must undergo eight hours of daily training on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge. The exam content is the same as that for new driving test applicants. Once the subject one exam is passed, the penalty points on the driving license will be reset to zero, and the traffic management department will return the driving license to the driver. If the exam is failed, the driver must retake the training and exam. Notes on Driving License Penalty Points: If a driving license accumulates 12 penalty points for two consecutive cycles or 24 points in the same cycle, the driver must retake the subject one and subject three exams. Traffic management rules are very strict—any traffic violation by a motor vehicle will result in penalties for the driver. In severe cases, the driving license may even be revoked.

How to Prevent the Rear of the Car from Crossing the Line When Reversing into the Garage?

Usually, if you don't turn the steering wheel too late, there's still room for remedy. First, keep turning the steering wheel all the way to the right to reverse into the garage. When the car body is parallel to the garage boundary line, continue to keep the steering wheel turned all the way to the right without straightening it. Allow the car to enter the garage space at an angle, which creates distance between the vehicle and the left boundary line. At this point, pay attention to the timing of straightening the steering wheel. Once sufficient distance is created, turn the steering wheel slightly to the left to align the car body, then continue reversing slowly until reaching the stopping point.
