Left side mirror adjustment method: Position the horizontal line at the center of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the vehicle body to occupy one-quarter of the mirror's image. The function of the side mirror is to reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the vehicle, expanding the driver's field of vision and reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. Methods to judge distance using the side mirror: 1. Using the center of the mirror as a reference line, when the vehicle body is on the outer side of the reference line and the rear vehicle cannot be fully seen, the distance is 5m; 2. When the rear vehicle completely appears in the mirror with the vehicle body pressing on the reference line, the distance is 10m.

I remember when I first started learning to drive, adjusting the left rearview mirror was where I made the most mistakes. Sitting in the driver's seat, you need to make sure the seat is adjusted to a comfortable position for you, start the engine first, then reach out to operate the mirror switch or manually adjust the mirror. I prefer to adjust the mirror so that a small part of my car's body is visible, which helps confirm the car's position, but the main view should cover the road far behind. If the mirror shows too much of the car's body, you might miss vehicles in the blind spot; on the other hand, if it's adjusted too far outward, you might not see the side clearly. After adjusting, test the lane-changing situation with the central rearview mirror—turning your head to glance at the blind spot can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. This method is simple, applicable to most car models, and developing this habit will greatly improve driving safety.

After driving for so many years, I believe adjusting the left rearview mirror is fundamental. Every time I get in the car, I check that the seat position is fixed before handling the mirror: gently adjust it with the button to ensure the edge of the mirror shows a slight outline of the rear wheel, while the horizon should be in the middle to lower area. This setup is to eliminate the left blind spot, so you can immediately notice when a vehicle approaches from the side. Otherwise, lane changes can easily lead to scrapes. I recommend not overlooking the impact of vibrations—after long drives, the mirror might shift, so periodically confirming its position is wise. This small trick makes my driving smoother and more reassuring.

Why does the speedometer of the Xiali N5 not move?

It is necessary to troubleshoot to determine the actual cause of the fault. Possible causes of the fault include: Damaged speed sensor; Broken wiring at the transmission; Grounding fault; The clip at the connection between the odometer and the transmission is loose. Composition of the speedometer: The speedometer consists of two gauges: the speed gauge and the odometer. The odometer is a digital instrument that calculates rotation by engaging the components on the calculator's gear. It mainly obtains mileage signals from the speed sensor and can retain data even without power. There are usually two manifestations when the speedometer does not move: one is when the needle stays at the 0 position and does not move, which is usually caused by internal wiring disconnection or short circuit. The other is when the needle stays at the high position and does not move, commonly known as "running off the dial," which can be resolved by readjusting it. If it is found that the needle does not move at the 0 position and the mileage number does not change, it indicates a speed sensor fault or a wiring fault between the instrument and the sensor.

How to Deal with Stickers on a Car?

Ensure that the cleaner used on the car body is specifically designed for car washing. If no cleaner is available, washing the car body with detergent diluted in water is also acceptable. Shake the cleaner well before use, then spray it vertically on the water stain areas of the vehicle. After spraying, let it sit for a while to allow the cleaner to fully penetrate the water stains. Use a clean cloth to wipe the water stain areas of the car body back and forth.

What Lights to Use When Driving Closely Behind Another Vehicle at Night?

Low beam headlights. Low beam headlights are designed for close-range illumination, with design requirements focusing on a wide coverage area of approximately 160 degrees, short projection distance, and non-adjustable focus. Below is relevant information: Article 48 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that on roads without central barriers or center lines, drivers must switch to low beams when meeting an oncoming vehicle at a distance of more than 150 meters at night, and must use low beams when encountering non-motor vehicles on narrow roads or bridges. When driving at night on roads without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, vehicles traveling in the same direction and following closely behind another vehicle should use low beams. Additionally, when passing through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, drivers should alternately use high and low beams to signal.

Will running a red light on national highways generally be captured?

Running a red light on national highways is generally captured. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic monitoring devices capture three photos as evidence for a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signals, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as braking might not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line or approach an intersection.
