Adding rearview mirror rain deflectors can prevent rainwater from falling on the mirrors, keeping them clear. The installation steps for rearview mirror rain deflectors are as follows: 1. Clean the area where the rain deflectors will be installed to ensure no debris causes improper adhesion. 2. Compare the position of the rain deflectors with the rearview mirrors to check if the size is correct. 3. Once confirmed, peel off the 3M adhesive on the rain deflectors and attach them. 4. Press the deflectors back and forth with your hands to ensure they are firmly fixed. Of course, you can also use a hairdryer to heat the adhesive for better bonding strength.

As an ordinary driver, when the rearview mirror gets blurry on rainy days, the most convenient method is to carry an absorbent cloth or tissue with me and quickly wipe it at a red light. If the car has a rearview mirror heating function, it's even better—just turn it on and the heat will evaporate the water droplets. For prevention, I spray some rain repellent product on the mirror, which prevents water from leaving marks. Adjusting the mirror angle to let water droplets slide off naturally also reduces blurriness. Checking and handling it a few minutes before driving avoids distractions on the road. When visibility is poor in the rain, don’t rush to overtake—take extra time to check the sides for safety. Regular cleaning to keep the mirror surface smooth is a long-term solution, saving you from last-minute hassles. These small habits help a lot in rainy conditions, being cost-effective, improving the driving experience, and simple yet effective without taking much time.

What is the function of the R gear?

The function of the R gear is to enable the vehicle to move in the opposite direction, achieving the function of reversing. The following is a related introduction to automatic transmission gears: 1. N gear: Neutral gear, used for temporary parking. 2. P gear: Parking gear, used when the engine is turned off and the car is stationary. When the vehicle stops, the gear must be shifted into P gear before the power can be turned off, the key can be removed, and the doors can be locked. 3. L gear: Low gear, also known as the climbing gear, its function is to reduce speed and increase torque. 4. S gear: Sports mode, whether it's climbing a slope or quickly overtaking, the S gear can be used.

Can I wait at a red light in a right-turn and straight lane?

If the right-turn and straight lane is a combined lane, you can wait at a red light when encountering one. Here are the relevant details: 1. Left turns: When turning left, the vehicle should turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Turn signals should be activated during the turn, and low beams should be used when driving at night. 2. Traffic signals: When encountering a green light, vehicles should proceed in order; when encountering a red light, they should stop in sequence behind the stop line. For lanes without a stop line, stop before the intersection. 3. Right turns: When turning right and encountering a vehicle in the same lane waiting for a green light, stop and wait in sequence.

How to Release Excess Refrigerant?

Open the high-pressure pipe valve of the air conditioning system, and the refrigerant will be directly released. Hazards of overcharging refrigerant: 1. Difficulty in cooling: If too much refrigerant is added, it will cause high suction and discharge pressures in the air conditioning system, making it difficult to lower the temperature when the system is running. 2. Damage to electrical components: The current value of the compressor power supply will be significantly higher, and prolonged operation may easily burn out electrical components. 3. Reduced service life: If there is too much refrigerant in the air conditioning system, the energy required for the compressor to compress the refrigerant will increase, thereby increasing the operational compliance of the engine. At the same time, excessive internal pressure in the pipes and compressor, as well as rough compressor operation, will reduce the cooling efficiency and service life of both the air conditioning system and the compressor.

Does Sleeping in the Car with AC On Consume a Lot of Fuel?

Sleeping in the car with the AC on consumes a significant amount of fuel. Here are the relevant details: 1. Fuel Consumption: Running the AC while driving increases the engine's total power output by approximately 20%, leading to a corresponding rise in fuel consumption. This is even more pronounced when the car is stationary, as the engine must idle to power the AC. For most small passenger vehicles, running the AC for an hour while parked typically consumes around 1 to 2 liters of gasoline. 2. Function: The car's air conditioning system, commonly referred to as car AC, is designed to regulate and maintain the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle at optimal levels, ensuring a comfortable cabin environment for the driver and passengers.
