Different car models have different methods for retracting side mirrors. Generally, pressing the automatic folding button for the mirrors or rotating the button to the automatic folding position will simultaneously fold both exterior side mirrors. Introduction to side mirrors: 1. Side mirror folding is divided into two types: manual and electric. Manual folding requires the driver to reach out the window or get out of the car to fold the mirrors, which is both inconvenient and unsafe. This type of folding mirror is now rare. The other type is electric, which is more common. Its advantage is that the driver can fold the mirrors from inside the car, and the mirrors will automatically open when the vehicle is started. 2. The exterior side mirrors reflect the rear and side of the car, the lower mirrors reflect the front and lower part of the car, and the interior mirror reflects the rear of the car and the interior situation. Different purposes result in different mirror structures.

How to Deal with Frozen Car Windows?

Methods to handle frozen car windows: 1. Start the car, and once the engine's water temperature rises, use the warm air to blow on the windshield until the ice layer melts; 2. Spray de-icing agents are specially designed high-speed anti-ice spray concentrates for thawing frozen windows and wipers, which do not damage the car's surface and can prevent re-icing and dirt accumulation; 3. Car owners can prepare a hard plastic scraper or use a dedicated glass frost shovel, which is more convenient and faster. Besides the windows being prone to icing, wipers and rearview mirrors are also susceptible to freezing due to low temperatures. If the wipers are frozen, never use boiling water. Car owners can thaw the wipers by spraying windshield washer fluid. A simple method to prevent wipers from freezing is to lift them up when parking the car the night before.

Is there a charge if entering before the highway toll-free period and exiting after it starts?

There is no charge if you enter the highway before the toll-free period and exit after it starts. However, please note that if you enter the highway early and exit the province before the toll-free period begins, you will be charged for the section of the highway up to the provincial boundary toll station. It is recommended to plan your departure time carefully or wait at a nearby service area before exiting the province until the toll-free period begins, so you won't have to pay any tolls. The vehicles eligible for toll-free highway travel include passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats), as well as motorcycles allowed on regular toll roads. Highways, abbreviated as expressways, are multi-lane roads designed exclusively for directional and lane-separated vehicle travel, with fully controlled access.

Does Automatic Transmission Fluid Need to Be Replaced?

Automatic transmission fluid needs to be replaced. Once the automatic transmission fluid deteriorates or contains impurities, continued use will cause wear and tear on various components of the automatic transmission, leading to malfunctions. Replacement Interval: However, the specific replacement interval varies depending on the vehicle. Driving habits and usage environment can both affect the replacement cycle. Introduction to Automatic Transmission: The automatic transmission is a crucial component of the vehicle's drivetrain and is a precision part. Over time, the transmission fluid becomes thinner, leading to reduced lubrication performance, decreased sealing capability, increased resistance and wear, unstable pressure, and compromised hydraulic system accuracy. This results in reduced shift precision, affecting smoothness and response speed, and can easily cause issues such as excessive fluid temperature.
