I've been driving for over a decade, adjusting the radio clock is a piece of cake. After starting the car, press the menu or setup button on the audio panel to enter the settings mode, then locate the clock option. Some cars use the volume knob to adjust hours and minutes, then press the confirm button to save. Newer touchscreen models make it even simpler—just tap the settings icon on the homepage and slide to adjust the numbers. Why does the time matter? It syncs with navigation reminders to keep you punctual and affects radio display information. Operations vary by model—older Toyotas might require twisting a knob, while BMWs may need accessing the instrument cluster menu. If stuck, the owner's manual has detailed step-by-step diagrams. Safety tip: Set the clock when parked to avoid distracted driving. Common issues like time reset after battery drain require recalibration.

How to Fold the Side Mirrors?

If the vehicle does not have an automatic retracting function, you need to manually fold the side mirrors by pushing them inward. If it has the automatic retracting function, simply rotate the mirror adjustment switch to the topmost position to retract the mirrors. Below is more information about the functions of side mirrors: 1. By observing them timely, you can stay aware of the surrounding traffic conditions. 2. Choose an appropriate and safe driving position (keeping distance from large vehicles or vehicles with abnormal driving behavior). In case of sudden incidents ahead (such as a broken-down vehicle or obstacles on the road), the driver can instinctively take evasive or braking actions toward a relatively safer direction.

How Many Months for the First Maintenance of a New Car?

The first maintenance for a new car is recommended at 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. Generally, manufacturers specify both the time and mileage for the first maintenance, whichever comes first. Even if the mileage hasn't been reached when the time comes, the maintenance should still be performed. Failing to do the first maintenance on time may result in the 4S shop refusing to record the information into the nationwide warranty system, leading to a loss of warranty coverage. The key tasks for the first maintenance of a new car include changing the engine oil and oil filter. Since the period before the first maintenance is the running-in phase of the vehicle, the engine gradually wears in, and mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits continuously mix into the engine oil. Therefore, changing the engine oil and oil filter during the first maintenance is crucial. If the debris and impurities generated by the engine are not removed in time, it may cause abnormal damage to the internal parts of the cylinder.

What is the correct way to use the clutch?

The method of using the clutch is: 1. Master the correct posture for pressing the clutch pedal, with the ball of the foot on the clutch pedal and the heel touching the ground. When the clutch is pressed to its lowest point, the knee should remain slightly bent; 2. Avoid using the toes to press the pedal or lifting the heel off the ground to prevent insufficient force or slipping. The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission.

Non-conventional vehicle fuels refer to fuels other than gasoline and diesel. Advantages of new energy vehicles: They save fuel energy, typically using natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources; they reduce exhaust emissions, effectively protecting the environment. Electric vehicles produce no exhaust and are pollution-free. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit only water, causing no environmental pollution; generally, new energy vehicles adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient; they also produce low noise.
