Blind spot mirrors are necessary to install as they provide a more intuitive view of areas that cannot be observed by regular mirrors. The functions of a blind spot mirror are: 1. It allows drivers to better observe the side of the vehicle and the condition of the rear wheels while seated in the car, reducing the risk of accidents; 2. It helps in better understanding road conditions when parking or reversing; 3. It enables drivers who frequently travel on mountain roads, rugged terrain, or narrow sections to more effectively adjust the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the road. The determining factors for rearview mirror visibility include: 1. The distance between the eyes and the rearview mirror; 2. The effective area of the rearview mirror; 3. The radius of curvature of the rearview mirror; 4. The tilt angle of the rearview mirror relative to the line of sight; 5. The distance between the rearview mirror and the ground.

What is the Appropriate Tire Pressure at 4000 Meters Above Sea Level?

At an altitude of 4000 meters, the recommended tire pressure for vehicles is 2.3~2.5 bar. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes steering heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Weakens cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in blowouts; Increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and excessive flexing, which generates heat, accelerates rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, and enlarges the tire's contact area, speeding up shoulder wear.

How does engine water damage insurance compensate?

When a vehicle is submerged in water while driving, the vehicle damage insurance mainly covers losses caused by water damage to seats, interior, and wiring. The water damage insurance primarily covers the costs of repairing the engine after it has been flooded. However, there is a crucial condition: once the engine is flooded, the vehicle must not be restarted, as a second attempt to start it will inevitably cause engine damage. If the engine is damaged due to a second start, the insurance company will not compensate. Below is an introduction to some types of auto insurance: 1. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Used to compensate for losses to the vehicle itself caused by natural disasters and accidents. It is recommended for new drivers to purchase this. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Used to compensate for losses of third-party personal injury or death caused by the vehicle owner. This is a must-have for both self-protection and the protection of others. 3. No-Deductible Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the responsibility the owner needs to bear to the insurance company, reducing the owner's losses. If both vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance are purchased, it is best to also purchase no-deductible insurance. 4. Theft and Robbery Insurance: Used to compensate for damages caused by vehicle theft, robbery, or seizure. It is recommended for new car owners without a garage to purchase this. 5. Passenger Liability Insurance: Used to compensate for losses to the driver and passengers in the vehicle due to traffic accidents. Premiums are usually paid per seat. It is recommended for new drivers or family vehicles to purchase this.
