It is best to cover the car with a car cover during long-term parking. If a car cover is not available, you can choose to use a large dry towel to cover the windows and headlights. In low-temperature environments, if the handbrake is engaged, the brake pads can easily stick to the brake discs, which may damage the braking system when starting the car the next day. Remember to replace the vehicle's coolant with automotive-specific antifreeze; otherwise, components such as the engine block, cylinder head, and radiator are prone to cracking due to expansion. The vehicle should avoid being parked in areas with standing water, as the water can freeze the wheels directly, leading to potential tire damage.

Why is the car reversing image reversed?

The reason why the car reversing image is reversed is that the front and rear cameras were installed in reverse, mistakenly placing the front camera at the rear of the vehicle. The function of the car reversing image is to allow the driver to see the situation behind the car on the display when reversing, avoiding accidents caused by the driver's inability to see the rear situation during reversing, thereby improving driving safety. The working principle of the car reversing image is based on the visual measurement rearview technology. It relies on the camera at the rear of the car to display the road conditions behind the vehicle on the central display screen. The driver can freely move the square representing the car body on the screen through the touch screen. If the position is appropriate, the square will change from red to green. At this time, as long as the reverse gear is engaged and the vehicle speed is controlled, automatic reversing can be completed.
