The brightness of the reverse camera alone cannot be adjusted. The car reverse camera is a complete system that can be added by the camera device or the car display. The car reverse camera system uses a wide-angle far-infrared camera device installed at the rear of the car, allowing clear visibility of obstacles behind the vehicle through the in-car display. Methods to adjust the screen brightness: 1. Click on Settings. 2. Click on Factory Settings. 3. Click on Rearview and 360 Panoramic Settings. 4. Click on the 360 Panoramic Switch and turn it off. 5. Click on the screen to adjust the brightness.

I often encounter the issue of low brightness in the reversing camera, which is quite annoying. The most common cause is dust accumulation on the camera lens. You can use a soft cloth dampened with water or a dedicated cleaner to wipe the lens surface—avoid using hard objects that might scratch it. Also, check the screen settings: navigate to the display options in the vehicle information menu and try increasing the brightness and contrast. If it's still dim, there might be poor wiring contact or an aging camera. Inspect the connection wires for looseness or rust, especially near the reversing radar interface. Unstable voltage can also affect brightness—if the screen noticeably darkens when starting the car, check the battery and alternator. I make it a habit to clean the lens monthly as a preventive measure—it saves money and hassle while improving nighttime reversing safety. If none of these solutions work, I recommend visiting a professional shop for inspection or upgrading to a high-definition camera. Don’t delay too long to avoid accidents.

When the reversing camera image appears dim, my first step is to check if the lens is dirty, then gently clean it with a soft cloth. Adjusting the screen brightness is straightforward - just access the settings menu via the central console and increase the backlight level. Sometimes the issue lies in the electrical system, such as poor power cable connections or loose fuses. In such cases, open the trunk lid to inspect and secure relevant wiring. Camera aging is another common cause, especially when prolonged use leads to pixel degradation - replacing it with a compatible model isn't expensive. Insufficient voltage input could also be the culprit, so verify if the battery output is normal. I've noticed the image appears darker in low-light environments, and installing auxiliary roof lighting helps. Safety comes first - never force reversing when visibility is poor. If simple troubleshooting doesn't work, seek professional repair immediately to prevent potential risks.

Can a New Car Purchased with a Loan Be Sold?

A car purchased with a loan cannot be freely sold before the loan is fully repaid. The borrower only has the right to use the vehicle and cannot transfer ownership. This is because the vehicle is mortgaged to the bank until the loan is settled, and a vehicle with a mortgage registration cannot be freely bought or sold. Points to note: 1. Verbal agreements are not guaranteed: Unless the consumer applies for an unsecured personal loan from the bank and uses the funds to purchase the car in full at a dealership, other forms of auto loans do not qualify for full discounts available with cash purchases. Car dealers often make verbal promises of various benefits, but unwritten commitments are merely empty talk. To avoid future disputes, consumers should carefully consider their auto loan options. 2. Understand the repayment methods: Banks typically offer two repayment methods for personal auto loans: equal principal and interest payments and equal principal payments. Equal principal and interest payments result in higher total interest but provide consistent monthly payments, distributing repayment pressure evenly. Equal principal payments decrease over time, with lower total interest compared to equal principal and interest payments, but the initial payments are larger. Consumers should think carefully about whether they can handle the higher early payments.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting from D to L Gear?

L gear is the low gear mode of the transmission, while D gear is the normal forward gear of the vehicle. It is still necessary to slow down and brake when shifting from D to L gear to avoid issues with the transmission gears. Here is more information about gear shifting: 1. Function of L gear: When going downhill, it uses the engine's power for braking, eliminating the need to press the brake for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and lead to danger. 2. Brief description: Gear shifting is the abbreviation for "gear lever operation method," referring to the process where the driver, through various psychological and physiological movements, continuously changes the position of the gear lever in response to road conditions and vehicle speed changes.

Can You Continue Driving with Low Tire Pressure?

Driving with insufficient tire pressure is not recommended. In such cases, it is necessary to perform a tire inspection and adjust the air pressure. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and a tendency to veer, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracking, while generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

How to Distinguish the Quality of Car Window Tints?

From the perspective of clarity, high clarity indicates a high-quality film. A premium film should allow clear visibility of objects beyond 6 meters at night, whereas inferior films often appear hazy. After peeling off the protective layer, inferior films emit a pungent odor, while high-end films use environmentally friendly adhesive, which is virtually odorless or has a faint glue smell. Simple identification methods: 1. Check transparency and color: The transparency of car window tints refers to the clarity of the view from inside the car looking out through the window. Higher-quality films generally have relatively high transparency. Inferior car films often fail to meet transparency standards, resulting in poor visibility from inside the car, which can obscure driving vision and pose significant safety risks. 2. Test the film's heat insulation: Direct the film toward the sun or an iodine-tungsten lamp and feel the heat with your hand. Most car film shops have simulated sunlight exposure environments using light boxes. Place the film near the light box and feel the heat insulation effect intuitively by placing your hand behind the film.

Are there any new policies for obtaining a driver's license in 2020?

There are new policies for obtaining a driver's license in 2020. The new regulations include: 1. Increased exam attempts: To facilitate the public's need to take the driver's license exam in different locations, the number of times applicants for small car driver's licenses can apply to change the exam location for cross-regional subject exams has been adjusted from once to no more than three times. 2. Cancellation of certain test items: To better align with actual driving needs and reduce the burden on examinees, the 'hill start' item in the subject two exam for small automatic transmission vehicles will be canceled. 3. Reduced waiting periods: For applicants of small automatic transmission vehicle driver's licenses, the waiting period for scheduling the subject three exam after passing subject one has been shortened from 30 days to 20 days. For medium and large passenger and truck driver's licenses, the waiting period after passing subject one has been reduced from 40 days to 30 days. 4. Proxy services: Green channels or dedicated windows have been established for the elderly, providing them with free proxy services. Elderly individuals can use their relatives' or friends' 'Traffic Management 12123' accounts to have them handle vehicle license and driver's license matters on their behalf. If applicants cannot promptly handle the renewal or replacement of their driver's license, they can authorize others to do so via Traffic Management 12123 without needing to provide a paper authorization. 5. Convenient license renewal: To facilitate employment, work, and travel for military veterans, a mechanism for interconnecting and verifying driver's license information with military departments has been established, enabling automatic verification and comparison of information to avoid redundant checks. For those abroad who cannot return to China due to the COVID-19 pandemic to handle license renewal or inspection, they can authorize someone in China to apply for an extension. If a license is canceled due to failure to renew or inspect by the end of 2021, the individual can restore their driving eligibility by completing the renewal or inspection procedures within six months of returning to China.
