Here are the methods to remove the small round mirror from the car rearview mirror: 1. First, soak the position where the small round mirror's adhesive is attached with alcohol. 2. Use a hairdryer on the hot air setting to blow on it. Don't worry about whether the heating will damage the glass, as many car rearview mirrors come with a heating function. Just ensure the hairdryer is not too close to the glass. 3. After blowing hot air for a while, the small round mirror will fall off. Any remaining adhesive can be gently wiped off with alcohol, ensuring no damage to the rearview mirror. The pros and cons of the small round mirror on the rearview mirror are as follows: 1. Pros: (1) It allows the driver to better observe the side of the car body and the rear wheels while seated in the car. If there is a car in the blind spot, it can be detected in time. When changing lanes, a quick glance will clearly show the rear wheels, reducing the risk of accidents. (2) For beginners reversing, having a small round mirror makes reversing easier. During parallel parking, it helps to see the relative position of the right wheel. It effectively helps novice drivers develop a sense of the car, especially when parking in a garage or reversing, allowing them to better grasp the road conditions. 2. Cons: (1) No matter where the small round mirror is installed, it will affect the field of view of the rearview mirror. (2) When using the small round mirror, attention tends to be overly focused on it. Additionally, because the small round mirror is too small, it may lead to misjudgment of the distance of the car behind, potentially causing a rear-end collision with the car in front.

Do Cars Need to Warm Up in Summer?

Do Cars Need to Warm Up in Summer? Here are the specific details about car warm-up: 1. Warm-up time: Cars need to warm up in all seasons, requiring at least 15 seconds before slowly moving out. 2. Other operations: Besides warming up, you should also wait until the coolant temperature gauge reaches the normal range before turning on the car's air conditioning. Here is additional information about car warm-up: 1. Long-term unused cars: The upper part of the engine lacks oil and lubrication when starting. After 30 seconds of operation, the oil pump will deliver oil to the parts of the engine that need lubrication the most. 2. Engine not reaching operating temperature: Before the engine reaches its operating temperature, the fuel system cannot effectively vaporize gasoline completely due to low temperature.

Can 0W-40 engine oil be used in summer?

0W40 engine oil has a viscosity rating of 40 after the W, which refers to the oil viscosity at 100°C. This indicates that 0W40 oil has higher viscosity at high temperatures, providing excellent protection and making it suitable for summer use. Advantages and disadvantages of Mobil 0W-40W engine oil: 1. Contains active detergents to prevent carbon deposits and sludge buildup, keeping the engine clean and extending its lifespan; 2. Outstanding thermal and oxidation stability, delaying oil aging and extending oil change intervals; 3. Low oil consumption, reducing hydrocarbon pollution; 4. Good friction characteristics, leading to higher fuel efficiency; 5. Excellent low-temperature performance, enabling quick cold starts and rapid protection.

How to Check for Air Leakage in Car Air Conditioning?

Air leakage in car air conditioning generally falls into two scenarios: undetectable leakage points during high-pressure checks and issues that arise during the refrigeration operation. The main methods to address these problems are as follows: 1. Soap Water Leak Detection. Fill the system with nitrogen at 10-20 kg/cm² pressure, then apply soap water to various parts of the system. Bubbles will appear at the leakage points. 2. Nitrogen Water Leak Detection. Fill the system with nitrogen at 10-20 kg/cm² pressure and immerse the system in water. Bubbles will indicate the leakage points. 3. Halogen Lamp Leak Detection. Light the leak detection lamp and hold the air tube of the halogen lamp. When the tube opening is near a system leakage point, the flame color will turn purple-blue, indicating a significant leak. 4. Gas Differential Pressure Leak Detection. Utilize the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the system, amplify the pressure difference through a sensor, and express the leak detection results digitally, through sound, or via electronic signals.

Where to Install ETC on the Windshield?

The ETC installation position for passenger cars is generally on the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed on the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed on the microwave sunroof strip. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt angle, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered when installing the ETC, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Notes for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the system may fail to read the vehicle device information, resulting in a failed transaction. When using a debit card to bind the ETC, insufficient balance will also cause the transaction to fail.

What to Do When the Car Fuel Tank is Full?

If driving in the city for a long time, it is best not to fill up the fuel tank, as a full tank can increase fuel consumption. The effects of filling up the fuel tank are as follows: 1. First refueling for a new car: It is best not to fill it up completely, as overfilling may cause the fuel gauge and sensor to malfunction, leading to inaccurate fuel gauge readings. Try not to overfill when refueling. 2. Harm to the carbon canister: The gasoline vehicle fuel vapor adsorption and desorption device, commonly known as the carbon canister, is a device that reduces the emission of gasoline vapors from the car fuel tank. If the tank is overfilled, there is no space at the top of the gasoline tank, leaving no place for the gasoline vapors to escape. As a result, liquid gasoline instead of gasoline vapors enters the carbon canister, causing harm to it. Since gasoline contains various harmful substances, long-term exposure to gasoline vapors can be harmful to health and may even lead to cancer.

Should Brake Pads Be Replaced at a 4S Shop?

Brake pads do not need to be replaced at a 4S shop; they can also be replaced at a nearby repair shop. The specific replacement steps are as follows: 1. Check the brake fluid level: Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during the replacement process. 2. Remove the wheel: Take off the wheel where the brake is located. 3. Remove the brake pads: Unscrew the bolts of the brake caliper and take out the brake pads. 4. Install the new brake pads: Install the new brake pads, tighten the guide bolts, and the replacement is complete. The maintenance methods for brakes are as follows: 1. High-temperature protection: Prevent corrosion of the brake system. 2. Cleaning method: Clean oil stains from the brake discs, brake drums, and brake pads to ensure good heat dissipation of the brake discs. 3. Oil change: Regularly replace the brake fluid. 4. Inspection: Regularly check the thickness of the brake pads or brake shoes.
