Methods to remove the odor inside the car: Open the windows for ventilation: After getting in the car, open the windows and turn on the fan to circulate air. Drive for at least 10 minutes before closing the windows and turning on the air conditioning. Place bamboo charcoal bags in the car: Make sure to replace them promptly. Generally, a bamboo charcoal bag should not be used for more than 15 days. Place fruits in the car to absorb odors: Bananas, pineapples, and other fruits can be used. Place them in a spot away from direct sunlight and monitor them to prevent leakage or spoilage. Place a small bucket of water with some vinegar in the car: Repeat this several times, and the odor will gradually disappear.

I just got my Haima S7, and the new car smell is quite strong. To quickly eliminate the odor, I used the simplest method: open the windows for ventilation for at least 20 minutes every day, and it's best to park it under direct sunlight for an hour to speed up the odor dissipation. I also placed some activated charcoal bags under the seats and in the trunk to absorb harmful gases. I also used a car air purifier, which plugs into the cigarette lighter and started working immediately. Within a week, most of the smell was gone. Remember to clean the interior regularly to prevent dust buildup, otherwise, the odor may return. I recommend doing these things as soon as you buy the car, don't wait until the smell becomes overwhelming and causes dizziness or nausea.

Should You Turn Left or Right First When Parallel Parking?

When parallel parking to the left, you should first turn the steering wheel to the left; when parking to the right, first turn to the right. Here are the parallel parking techniques: Keep the speed slow: Shift to R gear, slowly release the clutch, and maintain a very slow speed. When the small rear window of the car or the No. 1 marker (the left front marker of the parking space) aligns with the rear wheel, press the clutch firmly—do not brake or pause for too long. Press the clutch firmly: Once the car is stable, turn the steering wheel one and a half turns to the right, then slowly release the clutch to let the car reverse. At this point, focus on the interior rearview mirror. When the No. 4 marker (the right rear marker of the parking space) aligns with the middle of the car, press the clutch firmly (remember not to brake). Check the rearview mirror: Turn the steering wheel one and a half turns back to the left, then slowly release the clutch to let the car reverse. Now, watch the left rear wheel in the left side mirror. When the left rear wheel touches the left line of the parking space, press the clutch firmly, turn the steering wheel one and a half turns to the left, and slowly release the clutch to let the car enter the space. You can now look ahead or check the left side mirror. Check the rear of the car: Once the car is in the parking space, press the clutch firmly, turn your head to check if the rear of the car is properly positioned. If not, release the clutch to continue reversing; if it is, press the clutch firmly, brake, and shift to neutral. The parallel parking test is now complete.

Can You Drive Over the Dotted Line During Parallel Parking?

You can drive over the dotted line while the car is moving into the parking space, but not after the car is parked. Here are some practice tips for parallel parking: Based on the length of the vehicle: The length of the parallel parking space should be 1.5 times the length of the vehicle plus 1 meter. Drive the vehicle to a position parallel to the garage in the forward direction, then reverse into the garage to the right rear without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within this range without crossing the boundary lines of the parking space, it is considered a pass. Using the rearview mirror for guidance: When the left front corner of the garage disappears from the right rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel to the right to the limit and continue reversing. While reversing, keep an eye on the left rearview mirror. When the bottom line of the garage is fully visible, straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing. Keep watching the left rearview mirror, and when the left rear wheel is about to touch the left boundary line of the garage, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to the limit. Then, signal normally and drive out of the yellow frame marking.

How High Are Bus Handrails?

Bus handrail height generally ranges from 1.6 to 1.7 meters. The purpose of buses is to meet the travel needs of the general public. Here are some precautions for taking the bus: When waiting for the bus: You must wait in line at the station or designated location, and board or alight in order after the bus has come to a complete stop at the curb to avoid stepping injuries or creating opportunities for thieves. When the bus is moving: Do not extend your body or arms outside the vehicle to prevent injuries during travel. Inside the bus: Hold onto the handrails and avoid dozing off, as buses frequently start, brake, accelerate, and decelerate, making accidents highly likely. Be considerate: Maintain cleanliness in the cabin, no smoking, and do not throw trash out the window to avoid harming passing vehicles and pedestrians. When riding: Sit firmly or hold on securely; if there are no seats, stand with your feet naturally apart, sideways, and grip the handrail tightly to prevent falling and getting injured during sudden braking. While the vehicle is in motion: Do not engage in idle chatter with the driver or perform any actions that may hinder the driver's safe operation.

Should a New Battery Be Fully Drained Before Charging?

For the first use of a new battery, there is no need to fully drain it before charging. Completely depleting the battery can actually damage it. The battery is a crucial component of an electric vehicle and is also a wear-prone part. As the number of charge and discharge cycles increases, the battery's performance will decline, necessitating regular replacement. Refer to the following charging time guidelines: After full discharge: The typical charging time is around 8 to 10 hours, but it should not exceed 12 hours (as this can affect battery lifespan). It is not recommended to fully drain the battery every time before charging. Generally, it is advised to charge when the remaining power is around 70%, which usually takes about 6 to 8 hours. For short trips: If daily power consumption is around 10%, charge once a week. For 20% daily consumption, charge every three days. For 30% daily consumption, charge every two days. For daily consumption above 40%, charge once a day, controlling the charging time to around 6 hours.
