Remove the mirror lens and unplug the wiring harness for the electric heating. Take off the rear shell metal bracket of the side mirror, remove the door panel, use a 10mm socket to detach the side mirror, and then disassemble the mirror. Open the motor cover and take out the small electric motor. The power folding mechanism still uses a screw drive. Remove the small screw and take out the main shaft of the side mirror. Tighten the retaining spring, reassemble everything in the reverse order of disassembly, secure it to the door, and tighten with screws. Finally, reinstall the interior trim panel.

What Causes Noise in the Steering Wheel When Turning?

Here are the reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel: 1. Plastic component friction. The steering wheel is composed of plastic parts, which harden in cold temperatures, causing friction noise. 2. Damaged steering wheel clock spring. If the noise comes from the steering wheel, remove the clock spring and apply a small amount of grease. If the noise persists, replace the clock spring. 3. Aging of the tie rod end. An aging tie rod end causes steering wheel vibration and noise, requiring replacement of the tie rod end and a four-wheel alignment. 4. Noise from the stabilizer bar. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise when turning, which can be resolved by adding shims. 5. Noise from the shock absorber top mount bearing. Open the hood; if the noise comes from the shock absorber top mount, it indicates noise from the bearing. Apply a small amount of grease. 6. Steering gear failure. Loud noise during steering is due to excessive gear clearance, requiring replacement of the steering gear. 7. Improper tension or aging of the power steering belt. An improperly tensioned or aged belt can cause noise. Adjust the belt tension or replace the belt.

Can you park on the yellow line at the curb?

Parking is not allowed if the curb is marked with a yellow line. Parking in the yellow line area is considered illegal parking, and violating this traffic prohibition will result in a fine of 200 yuan plus 3 demerit points. The yellow line is a type of traffic marking called a "no-parking line." Compared to the "red cross" no-parking sign, the no-parking line can more clearly and prominently indicate the specific area where parking is prohibited. Here are some details about the yellow line: 1. The yellow line painted on the curb is called a "no-parking line at the roadside." Parking is prohibited where a solid yellow line is painted, while a dashed yellow line indicates that temporary parking is allowed—stop briefly and leave immediately, but long-term parking is prohibited. 2. The "no-parking line" is set up by the public security traffic police department in accordance with the "Urban Road Traffic Signs and Markings Setting Standards." Its function is the same as the no-parking sign, reminding drivers not to park vehicles arbitrarily in this area.

What Causes Engine Power Loss During Acceleration?

There are several reasons for engine power loss during acceleration: 1. Severe carbon buildup: When a vehicle operates at low RPM for extended periods, carbon deposits can form and clog the fuel system, leading to acceleration difficulties. In this case, carbon cleaning is required. 2. Poor fuel quality: Using low-quality fuel can affect the gasoline filter and fuel lines, potentially causing fuel supply issues and resulting in weak acceleration. 3. Exhaust system malfunction: This is usually caused by a broken catalytic converter. A clogged exhaust pipe will reduce engine power output. 4. Clutch failure: In manual transmission vehicles, clutch slippage can cause the engine RPM to increase during acceleration without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. 5. Engine overheating: When an engine operates under excessive load, cylinder temperatures rise sharply, weakening acceleration capability. In such cases, engine cooling measures are necessary. 6. Fuel system problems: Issues like clogged fuel injectors or a blocked fuel filter can prevent complete fuel delivery, causing insufficient power output.

What color is the high-speed card retrieval button?

The high-speed card retrieval button is green. Typically, there is only one high-speed card retrieval button, and you just need to press it once. If there are buttons of two different colors, you should press the green one. If your car frequently travels on highways, you can apply for an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) device, which allows for toll payment without stopping. The following points should be noted when entering a toll station: 1. Slow down before approaching the toll booth and choose the appropriate lane for your vehicle type, such as lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, or ETC-exclusive lanes. 2. When retrieving the card, pay attention to the distance between your vehicle and the card dispenser. Adjust your position before getting close to the dispenser. When stopping to retrieve the card, remember to engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake—do not rely solely on the foot brake. 3. If the card is out of reach, you may get out of the car to retrieve it at the toll station. However, ensure the vehicle is completely stopped, and do not unfasten your seatbelt inside the car to retrieve the card.

What are the ingredients of glass oil film remover?

Glass oil film remover contains abrasive particles and oil-repellent components. Introduction to glass oil film: Glass oil film is divided into two types: external oil film and internal oil film. External oil film: refers to the stubborn layer formed by the accumulation of various environmental impurities on the outer side of the glass over time. The microscopic surface of this impurity layer is uneven, with water trapped in the gaps, so when the wiper blade passes over it, a continuous mist-like film can be seen. Internal oil film: various oily suspended particles in the air can adhere to the inner side of the glass, such as exhaust fumes, air conditioning, low-quality interior care products, smoking, and many other factors, which can accumulate over time to form an internal oil film. Function of glass oil film remover: It provides a quicker and more efficient way to handle regular dirt on the glass surface, effectively delaying the formation of external oil film and thoroughly cleaning internal oil film. It is used for daily cleaning of glass, generally after each car wash, and can be used both inside and outside the vehicle. It is usually suitable for special surfaces such as tinted glass, coated glass, and organic glass.

What is the Matching Relationship Between Car Gears and Speed?

The matching relationship between car gears and speed is as follows: Generally, 1st gear can be used for speeds from 0 to 20 km/h, 2nd gear for 20 to 30 km/h, 3rd gear for 30 to 40 km/h, 4th gear for 40 to 50 km/h, and 5th gear for speeds of 50 to 60 km/h and above. Here are some related details: 1. The speed, gear, and RPM of the car should be matched. The above-mentioned ranges are not fixed. If you need to overtake, you should downshift. For aggressive driving, wait until the engine RPM reaches the redline before shifting. For highway cruising, use the highest gear. 2. Car engines generally have an economical RPM range where the engine is more fuel-efficient. Keeping the engine RPM within this range while driving can make the car more fuel-efficient and comfortable. 3. While driving, if the RPM is too high, upshift. If the RPM is too low, downshift. 4. When overtaking, downshift to achieve higher torque. 5. During highway cruising, use the highest gear to lower the engine RPM and improve fuel economy. 6. In daily driving, road conditions can change rapidly, so it's important to adapt flexibly.
