Method for replacing the car rearview mirror lens: 1. Press the head of the lens with your hand to make the tail tilt up, then grab the tail and pull it outward forcefully to remove the old lens. 2. Use needle-nose pliers to strip the exposed metal wire residue on the rearview mirror, then twist it together with the copper wire at one end of the heating wire, and wrap it with insulating tape. 3. Manually connect the metal buckle at one end of the heating wire to the slot above the black plastic holder on the back of the lens, then place the wired lens into the rearview mirror housing. Gently adjust the position and press slowly until you hear two clicks, indicating that all the buckles of the lens are securely installed. 4. Start the car and adjust the rearview mirror lens to your usual fixed position.

Why Can't the Car Trunk Close Properly?

There are several reasons why a car trunk may not close properly, including mismatched closing limit rubber blocks and locking mechanisms, faulty trunk control wiring, or malfunctioning trunk hydraulic support rods. The trunk structure is relatively simple, consisting of a motor + gear reduction mechanism-driven rod that activates the trunk's locking mechanism, operating similarly to central door locks. Below are essential items to keep in your trunk: 1. Jack: A must-have item for any car, especially crucial when changing tires. Without it, tire replacement is impossible, and you'll have to wait for assistance. 2. Tool kit or toolbox: Another common and indispensable item in the car trunk. Essential for simple car repairs or tire changes, including screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, etc. Other useful items include tape, measuring tape, hammer, tire pressure gauge, etc. 3. Warning triangle: Mandatory for all vehicles and required during vehicle inspections. Particularly important if your vehicle breaks down, as it needs to be placed approximately 150 meters behind the car to warn oncoming traffic. Failure to do so may result in penalties from traffic police.

Will I Get Penalty Points for Driving at 135 in a 120 Speed Limit Zone?

Driving at 135 in a 120 speed limit zone on the highway generally does not result in penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will incur a fine of 50 RMB and 3 penalty points. No penalty points are given if the speed does not exceed 10% of the limit. Below is additional information about vehicle speed: 1. Concept of Vehicle Speed: Vehicle speed generally refers to the speed of a car. It is the distance a car travels per unit of time, commonly measured in kilometers per hour or meters per second. 2. Spot Speed: Spot speed is the instantaneous speed of a car passing a specific point on the road. The arithmetic mean of a set of spot speed observations is the average spot speed. Spot speed is widely used in traffic engineering as a basis for setting road design speeds, installing traffic control facilities, determining traffic management methods, implementing traffic improvement measures and their economic analysis, exploring speed trends of various vehicle types, and evaluating the effectiveness of road traffic facilities, traffic management, and improvement measures.

Should I Claim Insurance or Repair the Side Mirror Myself After a Collision?

The decision to claim insurance or repair the side mirror yourself after a collision depends on the extent of the damage. If the damage is minor, it is recommended to repair it yourself. However, if the damage is severe or the side mirror itself is of high value, it is advisable to file an insurance claim. Important Notes: After the side mirror is damaged, you should immediately call your insurance company. When the insurance company personnel arrive at the scene, the vehicle owner should present the insurance documents, driver's license, vehicle registration, and ID card. Photo Evidence: Whether photos are required for the insurance claim depends on the type of coverage you have purchased. For example, for claims related to vehicle damage, scratches, or glass damage, you must provide photo evidence showing that the vehicle had no pre-existing damage before the claim. You need to take six photos: one from each of the four corners (left front, left rear, right front, right rear) at a 45-degree angle, one of the vehicle identification number (VIN), and one with you and the vehicle in the same frame.

What to Do When a Pure Electric Vehicle Encounters Water Accumulation?

When driving a pure electric vehicle through waterlogged roads, the water depth should not exceed 30cm (15cm for battery-swapping models). Maintain a speed below 10km/h and monitor the dashboard for any warning alerts. Drive cautiously to ensure safety. If the vehicle reports an insulation fault after wading, stop immediately for inspection. Below are key precautions: Water depth not exceeding half of the tire height: When navigating through waterlogged sections, always assess the water depth and flow. Proceed slowly and steadily. Before entering, observe the passage of preceding vehicles or pedestrians to determine if it is safe to cross. Avoid proceeding if the water level exceeds half of the tire height. Maintain safe following distance: Like traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles should reduce speed and keep a safe distance in rainy or adverse weather conditions. If fog forms inside the car, activate the air recirculation system. In heavy rain, turning on fog lights enhances driving safety. Park on open, dry ground: During rainy weather, it is advisable to park new energy vehicles on elevated, dry surfaces. Ideally, use covered parking facilities. Avoid parking in low-lying areas, under power lines, or other hazardous locations. Additionally, when charging in wet conditions, ensure the charging environment is dry and enclosed. Never charge outdoors during rain to prevent electrical hazards.
