Here is the method to turn off the wiper: Lift the lever on the right side of the steering wheel up one notch, and the wiper will stop. Below is some related information: 1. The wiper, also known as the windshield wiper, water wiper, or windscreen wiper, is a device used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield to improve the driver's visibility and enhance driving safety. 2. Operating principle: The power source of the wiper comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. The quality requirements for the wiper motor are quite high. It uses a DC permanent magnet motor, and the wiper motor installed on the front windshield is generally integrated with the worm gear mechanical part. The function of the worm gear mechanism is to reduce speed and increase torque, and its output shaft drives the four-bar linkage, which converts continuous rotational motion into left-right swinging motion. 3. The wiper motor adopts a 3-brush structure to facilitate speed change. The intermittent time is controlled by the intermittent relay, using the motor's return switch contacts and the relay's resistor-capacitor charge-discharge function to make the wiper wipe at a certain cycle. The wiper blade is the tool that directly removes rainwater and dirt from the glass. The blade is pressed against the glass surface by a spring strip, and its lip must match the angle of the glass to achieve the required performance.

Actually, many beginners ask this question, and I also struggled with it when I first started driving. The control lever on the right side of the steering wheel is the key to operating the wipers. You see, it has four positions: the bottom is OFF (turn off), one notch up is INT (intermittent wiping), further up is LO (low-speed continuous wiping), and the top is HI (high-speed continuous wiping). To turn it off, just gently push the lever all the way down until you hear a click, and it will return to the OFF position. Modern car models usually come with an automatic wiper function, indicated by an AUTO mark on the lever. In this case, you need to press the button to exit the automatic mode first, then push it back to the OFF position. Don't use too much force when operating it; a gentle touch will do the trick.

How to Remove the Taillight of a Nissan Teana?

Open the trunk lid of the Nissan Teana, remove the inner felt or rubber lining near the two taillights in the trunk to expose the taillight assembly, then use tools to remove the taillight and unplug the power connector. The steps to remove the rear taillight are as follows: 1. Removal of the trunk inner lining: After opening the trunk, first remove the inner lining on one side of the rear taillight. The inner lining is secured by several plastic clips. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry these clips open, then pull the inner lining away by hand. Be careful to pry slowly to avoid damaging the plastic clips. 2. Removal of the taillight fixing nuts: There are three nuts securing the rear taillight. Use a small ratchet with an 8mm socket to remove the three nuts one by one and set them aside. 3. Removal of the taillight wiring harness: The taillight wiring harness has only one plug. Simply pull this plug out by hand. If it's difficult to remove, gently pry it with a small flathead screwdriver. 4. Replacement of the rear taillight: After unplugging the wiring harness, the rear taillight can be removed. Hold both sides of the taillight with both hands, then gently pull outward while slightly shaking it to remove it. Be careful not to use excessive force.

What are the advantages of a body-on-frame structure?

The advantages of a body-on-frame structure are as follows: 1. High body strength, with an independent frame that enhances body rigidity; 2. Higher chassis strength and better anti-jolting performance; 3. When the four wheels bear uneven forces, the frame absorbs the impact without transferring it to the body. 4. Minimal cabin deformation, with high stability and safety. The disadvantages of a body-on-frame structure are: 1. The frame is heavy, has a high center of gravity, and increases wind resistance, which negatively impacts fuel efficiency. 2. Limited interior space utilization. 3. While mounting the spare tire on the tailgate makes the vehicle look more imposing, protects the spare tire well, and allows for easy access, it can lead to rattling noises over time.

Why Do Modern Diesel Vehicles Require Urea?

Here are the reasons why diesel vehicles require urea: 1. During operation, diesel vehicles emit harmful nitrogen oxide gases that damage both the atmosphere and human health. Prolonged exposure to these gases can cause respiratory diseases. To mitigate these harmful effects on the atmosphere and human beings, urea is utilized. 2. The use of urea in diesel vehicles involves a catalytic reaction. When urea encounters nitrogen oxides emitted by diesel engines, a chemical reaction occurs, converting the nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water, both of which are harmless to the atmosphere and human health.
