The removal and installation of the interior rearview mirror for Nissan Sunny is quite simple. Lift the clip at the joint between the rearview mirror and the windshield with your hand, then pull the mirror upward to remove it. Below are the detailed steps: 1. First, prepare the necessary tools for removal, including a flathead screwdriver. Start by using the flathead screwdriver to pry open a gap between the mirror casing and the base of the mirror from the edge. Press the lower part of the mirror with your hand; this mirror is movable, and pressing it will widen the gap at the top, which is our goal to facilitate the next steps. Insert the flathead screwdriver into the gap between the mirror and the casing, starting from the left side as there are two slots here. Carefully pry open the left one, ensuring to proceed slowly. 2. Similarly, use the flathead screwdriver to pry open the right side gap between the mirror and the casing, gently releasing the clip inside. Proceed slowly and steadily. At this point, you can remove the mirror casing by hand. 3. Disconnect the wiring harness of the mirror by hand; there are two wires in total. Do this slowly to avoid breaking the wires. 4. Finally, pry open the clips securing the mirror, and the mirror can then be removed.

Removing the Nissan Sunny's side mirror is actually not difficult, I've replaced it several times myself. If you're referring to the exterior mirror on the door, first prepare a Phillips screwdriver or wrench because there's usually a cover or inner trim panel to remove at the connection point between the mirror and door. After gently prying open the cover, you'll see the fixing screws - loosen them but don't remove completely, then carefully push or twist the mirror outward until it detaches from the ball joint. Pay attention to the wiring inside; if it's power-adjustable, don't yank and break the wires, and remember to disconnect the car's negative battery terminal first to prevent short circuits. When reinstalling, align properly and test the mirror positioning. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. Take it slow and you'll save money on garage visits while learning new skills - car repairs can be quite fun.

What are the starting steps for a Toyota Camry?

Toyota Camry starting steps: First, press the start button once, and after the ACC light comes on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-touch start button turns green, and the vehicle performs a self-check. Once the vehicle completes the self-check, press the brake pedal and press the one-touch start button once more to start the vehicle. Notes on using the one-touch start feature in the Toyota Camry: 1. Turning off/starting the engine while driving (1) Turning off the engine while driving: In case of an emergency while the vehicle is in motion, you can turn off the engine by pressing the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively. The power will then switch to ACC mode. (2) Starting the engine while driving: If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in motion, you can restart the engine without pressing the brake pedal by shifting the gear lever to the N (neutral) position and pressing the engine start/stop button. 2. Low battery or malfunction of the smart key If the smart key battery is low or the smart key is not functioning properly, replace the battery promptly.

What are the precautions for the break-in period of an automatic transmission car?

Here are the precautions for the break-in period of an automatic transmission car: 1. The first 500 kilometers are the initial break-in period, during which the speed should not be too fast, generally below 70-80 km/h, and the RPM should not exceed 2,200. 2. From 500 to 1,000 kilometers is the mid-term break-in period, during which the maximum speed can be appropriately increased, generally up to 90-100 km/h, with the RPM still kept below 2,500. Increasing speed appropriately will not affect the engine but can promote the break-in process and help identify any abnormalities during acceleration. 3. From 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers is the late break-in period, during which the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. Since the break-in is a gradual process, it must be done step by step. The RPM should not exceed 3,000. 4. All cars bear a heavier load at low speeds than at medium speeds, so the break-in period should not be prolonged at speeds below 60 km/h. The speed must be gradually increased. Additionally, if the break-in period is completed at a constant speed of 80 km/h, suddenly increasing the speed afterward may cause the new car to struggle to adapt. Therefore, the maximum speed during the break-in period should be increased progressively. 5. During the break-in period, avoid driving at a fixed speed for extended periods; vary the speed. 6. Avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration during the break-in period.

What Causes the Plastic Friction Sound in the Steering Wheel?

Here are the reasons for the plastic friction sound in the steering wheel: 1. Friction between plastic parts. Most components of the steering wheel are made of plastic, which hardens in cold weather, leading to squeaky friction sounds when they come into contact. 2. Issue with the steering wheel airbag clock spring. This sound usually comes from inside the steering wheel. Solution: Apply some grease to the airbag clock spring. If the sound persists after greasing, the clock spring needs to be replaced. 3. Aging of the tie rod end ball joint. Besides causing noise, it can also lead to vibrations. Solution: Replace the tie rod end ball joint. Note that a wheel alignment is required after replacement. 4. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar. If this component is faulty, the noise will not only occur when turning the steering wheel but also on rough roads. Solution: Add shims or replace the stabilizer bar. 5. Problem with the shock absorber top mount bearing. Lack of lubrication in the shock absorber top mount bearing can also cause noise. Inspection method: Open the hood and listen if the noise comes from the shock absorber top mount. Solution: Apply grease to the shock absorber top mount bearing. If ineffective, replace the component. 6. Improper tension or aging of the power steering belt. Solution: Adjust the belt tension or replace the belt.
