Is a Rear Dash Cam Necessary?

A rear dash cam is necessary because there are many blind spots behind the vehicle, and relying solely on the rearview mirror is far from sufficient. By installing a camera at the rear of the vehicle, the situation behind can be displayed in real-time on the screen. The driver can then understand the conditions behind the vehicle through the video feed, overcoming the limitations of traditional rearview mirrors, which are prone to being affected by rainy or foggy weather, offering poor visibility at night, and having a narrow field of view. This significantly enhances driving safety. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle operation. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process, including video and audio, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also be used to document the journey through challenging terrains. While driving, it continuously records videos, capturing the time, speed, and location, which can later be used at home as a DV to film life's joyful moments or serve as a home surveillance system. Additionally, it can function as a parking monitor. It's important not to edit the video footage, as doing so may render it useless in the event of an accident. Moreover, it helps prevent unavoidable fraudulent claims that are prevalent in today's society.

What is the charging voltage for a 12V battery?

For 12V vehicle systems, the battery voltage should be around 13 volts when unloaded. A loaded voltage not lower than 11 volts is considered normal. If the voltage is lower than this, it may cause difficulty in starting the vehicle. Before starting the car, a voltage between 11.8V and 14.8V is normal. Both excessively high and low battery voltages can cause certain impacts. Below are some extended notes: Precautions for automotive batteries: The battery electrode connections are areas prone to issues in winter, so it's important to inspect them regularly. Check all parts of the circuit for any signs of aging or short circuits. Prevent the battery from retiring early due to excessive discharge. During inspection, if green oxides are found at the electrode connections, remember to rinse them off with hot water. Failure to remove these green oxides can leave the battery in a discharged state, which in severe cases may lead to premature battery failure.

What are the tips for reversing an A3 into the garage?

A3 reversing tips are as follows: 1. Drive the car to the starting line on the right side of the garage: keep the car body 80 to 100cm away from the left line. When parking, the front of the car should pass the starting line, and the front wheels should press the line (the lower edge of the left rearview mirror slightly passing the line means the front wheels are pressing the line). Press the clutch and brake to stop. 2. Shift into reverse gear: turn on the right turn signal, reverse straight, and when you see the starting line in front of the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. While reversing to the right rear, observe the distance between the right rear wheel and the corner of the garage through the right rearview mirror, maintaining a distance of about 30cm between them. If the distance between the wheel and the corner is less than 30cm, you can slightly turn the steering wheel back to maintain a distance of about 30cm. 3. After entering the garage: continue to observe the distance between the car body and the garage lines through the rearview mirror. Once you confirm the car body is parallel to the garage lines, quickly straighten the steering wheel and adjust the distance between the car body and the garage lines appropriately. Turn the steering wheel based on the lines. 4. Reverse to the garage bottom line: when reversing to the garage bottom line near the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, press the clutch and brake to stop.

What is the diameter of a 17-inch tire in centimeters?

The diameter of a 17-inch tire is 43.18cm, and the radius is 21.59cm. Here are the functions of tires: 1. Carrier: Tires serve as the medium for force transmission between the vehicle and the road surface. They transmit driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., enabling operations such as driving, braking, and steering of the vehicle. 2. Reduce and absorb vibration and impact forces during vehicle movement: This prevents early damage to vehicle components caused by severe vibrations. Additionally, tires adapt to the high-speed driving conditions of the vehicle, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel efficiency.

Does a Parking Lot Scratch Count as Hit-and-Run?

This behavior constitutes hit-and-run after a traffic accident. Below is an introduction to hit-and-run after a traffic accident: 1. Hit-and-run after a traffic accident: Hit-and-run refers to the act of a motor vehicle driver fleeing the scene of an accident without authorization while the accident is occurring, thereby making it impossible to determine the civil, criminal, and administrative liabilities arising from the traffic accident, with the purpose of evading or escaping responsibility. 2. Manifestations of hit-and-run after a traffic accident: The driver knowingly causes a traffic accident and flees the scene by driving or abandoning the vehicle; the driver is suspected of driving under the influence or without a license and, after reporting the accident, fails to fulfill the obligation to wait at the scene for handling, abandons the vehicle and leaves the scene, then returns; the driver takes the injured to the hospital but does not report the accident and leaves the hospital without reason; the driver takes the injured to the hospital but leaves the hospital after providing false names, addresses, or contact information to the injured or their family; the driver absconds during the investigation period; the driver leaves the scene and denies the occurrence of the traffic accident, but there is evidence to prove that they should have known about the accident.

How Long Can a Car Battery Last Without Starting the Vehicle?

When fully charged, it can last for about 3 months. Related Information: 1. Power Consumption: A car battery loses about 1% of its charge daily. If it remains connected to the vehicle without being removed, the car maintains a minimum current (commonly known as "standby" current) of approximately 20~80mA. If there is an anti-theft alarm, it will also consume a certain amount of power. Generally, about 2~3% of the battery's charge is consumed daily. 2. Starting Difficulty: When the battery charge drops below half, i.e., the voltage is below 13.4V, the battery fault light will illuminate, and the car will be difficult to start. In the first scenario, the battery should be fully charged once a month. If the battery voltage is below 12.4V, starting becomes difficult or impossible. In the second scenario, the battery should be fully charged once every two months. If the car battery fault light is on, it needs to be charged promptly. This can be done using a charger or by running the engine at over 1900 RPM for more than 60 minutes.
