Tire installation does have a right and wrong side. Installation methods: 1. For tires without markings, install the side with the DOT facing outward; 2. For tires with markings, install the side labeled 'outside' facing outward; 3. For unidirectional tires, install them according to the rolling direction indicated by the 'Rotation' arrow. Unidirectional tread patterns face one direction and feature large tread blocks with fewer transverse grooves. Unidirectional tires can be classified as symmetric tires and do not require distinguishing between inner and outer sides. However, during installation, pay attention to the direction of the tread pattern and the arrow's orientation. The design of such tire tread patterns primarily aims to achieve minimal rolling resistance, making unidirectional tires a type of performance tire.

Where is the windshield washer button located in a car?

Generally, the windshield washer button is located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, which features a water spray symbol. Pressing the stalk inward will activate the windshield washer fluid. The exact position may vary depending on the vehicle model. Windshield washer fluid, commonly known as glass water, is a consumable item used in cars. High-quality windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. It is colloquially referred to as glass water (or windshield cleaner). Windshield washer fluid has cleaning properties, as it is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically provide wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, thereby effectively removing dirt. It also has anti-freezing properties due to the presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol, which significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, not only preventing freezing but also quickly dissolving frost. Additionally, it offers anti-fogging properties by forming a monomolecular protective layer on the glass surface. This protective layer prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring clear visibility through the windshield.
