The method to turn off the rear windshield wiper is as follows: Push the wiper lever to the OFF position. The rear wiper is in the off state by default. Pushing the wiper lever backward activates the rear windshield wiper, while the middle OFF position turns it off. Lifting the wiper lever activates the front wiper's washer function, and pressing it down to the second gear activates the rear wiper's washer function. Here is some related information about wipers: Wipers are devices used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the car's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Generally, cars have wiper control buttons with three positions: low speed, high speed, and intermittent. You can choose the appropriate position according to the intensity of the rain.

When it comes to how to turn off the rear windshield wiper, I remember the first time I drove, I fumbled around for quite a while. That day after the rain stopped, I thought the rear wiper would stop by itself, but it kept swinging there, which really puzzled me. Later, I gradually discovered that on most cars, the wiper control is on the stalk to the right of the steering wheel. Just gently push the stalk down or lift it up, and you can turn it off. Some high-end cars might have a button near the dashboard—just press it to stop the wiper. Actually, it’s quite useful when driving on the highway, especially in the rain, as it helps clear the rear window for better visibility. But remember to turn it off after use to avoid unnecessary wear. If you get a new car, I suggest familiarizing yourself with the positions of these switches—like not struggling to find them at night, safety first. Now, I always check the wiper blades every time I refuel and replace them if they’re too old to prevent them from getting stuck and failing to turn off.

What are the requirements for outrigger pads of truck cranes?

Truck crane outriggers require wooden pads to prevent damage to road or roof surfaces and ensure stability without tipping over. Here are the relevant details: 1. Standard: Truck crane outriggers should use standard pads, preferably hardwood blocks (ideally railroad ties). Specifications: 200mm x 300mm x 800mm, vertically placed. 2. Outrigger pads: Compared to traditional metal pads, these are lighter in weight while offering chemical corrosion resistance and excellent stability. They bend rather than break under overload conditions, providing high strength and rigidity to deliver more stable support for large construction machinery.

What is a Power Liftgate?

The rear liftgate, also known as the trunk door, can be electronically controlled to open and close via buttons. Below is an introduction to power liftgates: 1. Power Liftgate: A power liftgate is essentially a standard liftgate equipped with two axial drive rods. When you need to open or close the trunk, simply press the switch in the car or on the remote key. 2. Installation: Generally, having a power liftgate installed at a 4S dealership is more reliable. First, the quality of installation at a 4S shop is guaranteed, and any issues that arise will be covered under warranty. Installing a power liftgate involves electrical circuits, and since 4S shops specialize in servicing a specific car brand, they have a better understanding of the vehicle's functional components. This ensures more professional wiring and power sourcing, preventing any impact on the original car's electrical system.

How many points are deducted for changing two lanes consecutively?

Changing two lanes consecutively does not deduct points, but a fine is required. When driving a motor vehicle and changing two lanes consecutively, or carrying more passengers than the number of seats on a highway, a warning or fine will be imposed. Additional information: 1. Observation before changing lanes: When a vehicle needs to change lanes, the driver must first observe the traffic conditions behind, to the side, and on the intended lane through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and windows. 2. Signal: After confirming there are no vehicles behind, to the side, or on the intended lane, the driver can proceed to change lanes. Before changing lanes, the driver must signal the lane change. For example, when changing to the left lane, the left turn signal should be activated; when changing to the right lane, the right turn signal should be activated to alert other vehicles.

What are the reasons for the Geely Vision's one-button start not working?

Geely Vision's one-button start may not work due to the following reasons: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: This could be caused by too much carbon buildup in the idle motor, intake tract, intake valves, and combustion chamber. 2. Overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture: Excessive carbon deposits and dirt in the intake tract can change the cross-sectional area of the air passage, leading to an overly rich or lean mixture, resulting in abnormal combustion or engine shaking after starting, or even failure to start. Alternatively, issues with the fuel injector, such as leaks or excessive carbon buildup, can cause a lean mixture during startup, making it difficult to start. 3. Faulty carbon canister or carbon canister solenoid valve: A malfunction in the carbon canister or its solenoid valve can also make starting difficult.

Where are the position lights located?

Position lights are located at the highest points of the front and rear of the vehicle. The front position lights are situated beside the two headlights, while the rear position lights are usually integrated with the brake lights. Position lights are primarily used during driving in conditions such as dusk, overcast days, or rainy/foggy weather to indicate the vehicle's width and height. This helps other drivers determine relative positions and vehicle dimensions during encounters or overtaking. Typically, position lights are white at the front and red at the rear. The control switch for position lights is the light knob. For vehicles with only manual light control, turning the knob one position activates the position lights, and turning it further activates the headlights. For vehicles equipped with automatic headlights, setting the switch to AUTO position will automatically illuminate the position lights when ambient light is low.
