No, there is no difference. The term "rearview mirror" refers to the three mirrors on a car. Rearview mirrors are tools that allow the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the vehicle. Below is a detailed introduction: Interior Rearview Mirror: The interior rearview mirror is designed to allow the driver to confirm the situation behind the vehicle without significantly altering their forward line of sight. Exterior Rearview Mirror: Passenger cars generally mount the exterior rearview mirrors on the doors. In Japan, some domestic vehicles also mount them on the fenders. Under Mirror: The under mirror enables the driver to see areas outside the front and rear wheels beneath the car body through the mirror directly in front of the driver's seat. This helps the driver to check for people or obstacles near the front and rear wheels and the sides of the vehicle when reversing or starting forward, preventing injuries, damage to objects, or vehicle harm, thus providing convenience and safety to the driver.

What Causes Excessive Short-Term Fuel Trim Values?

Excessive short-term fuel trim values are caused by a lean air-fuel mixture. Here is additional information: 1. Lean mixture: When the air-fuel mixture is too lean, the oxygen sensor's output voltage decreases, causing the short-term fuel trim to increase. This means the fuel injection pulse width will lengthen. An increase in short-term fuel trim indicates that the values read on the diagnostic tool will be greater than 1. 2. Difference between short-term and long-term trim: Short-term fuel trim is a real-time correction control of the fuel injection quantity based on the oxygen sensor's feedback regarding the richness or leanness of the mixture in previous working cycles. On the other hand, changes in the long-term fuel trim coefficient are qualitative changes formed by the ECU based on quantitative changes from the continuous correct feedback of short-term fuel trim. This is the key difference.
